'FLUID SHAPE, FLUID STILLNESS'
- embryological organising forces and the midline
* JUNE 19TH - 22ND 2008 *
WITH DR MICHAEL SHEA B.A., M.A., Ph.D, B.C.S.T.
This seminar will focus on the central spiral of the core of the fluid body, which forms the heart and the midline of the embryo. It is present the moment the sperm enters the egg and creates a midline at the point of entry, extending all the way through the fluid body of the zygote. The fluid midline changes position during embryonic development and participants will learn how this can be palpated in each other and in their clients. Students will also learn to perceive Stillness as a function of the midline in the fluid body and tidal body of Primary Respiration. Growth and development is oriented to Stillness throughout our lifespan, especially in the embryo. Perception of this Stillness is crucial for the heart and cardiovascular system to reorient to health. Open to craniosacral therapists and cranial osteopaths.
Educational Objectives:
- to relate with the 3-dimensional organisation of shape and form in the fluid body
- to palpate the core spiral of the fluid body that generates longitudinal fluctuation
- to differentiate the "feminine midline" from the "masculine midline"
- to understand the embryological foundations of the therapeutic relationship
- to learn about the role of metabolic fields in shaping the fluids
- to perceive the folding and unfolding at the end of the embryonic period
- to use creative visualization in biodynamic practice for the "second pair of hands."
