STILLNESS AND FORM
WITH
MICHAEL KERN D.O., R.C.S.T.,
M.I.Cr.A., N.D.
IN NORMA, LATINA, ITALY
FROM SEPTEMBER 30TH -
OCTOBER 3RD 2010
Teaching will be in English and translated into Italian.
Stillness is at the heart of the healing process. In the same way that eskimos have many words for snow, craniosacral practitioners describe many types of stillness. This advanced seminar will explore different levels of stillness, and find new ways to make these part of our cellular experience. We will focus on letting go, letting things be and finding space. There will be ample time for table work, reflection and meditation.
Areas explored will include:
- the state of balanced mind
- three dimensional awareness of the three bodies: physical body, fluid body and tidal body
- floating/suspension and coherent function of the three bodies
- health as dynamic stillness and primary respiration
- orienting to the stillness of the midline in the centre of the listening field
- Dr Sutherland's principle of "idling"
- EV4 from the scapulae
- stillpoint and autonomic activation
- ignition at the third ventricle, CV3 and EV3
- the seven levels of stillpoint
- Big Potency and little potency, transmutation and embodied forces
- the fiery nature of the "Big Potency"
- the embryological enfoldment of form within space
- embryological seams as areas of dynamic stillness
- letting go into stillness and doing nothing
- orienting to 'rhythmic balanced interchange'
- the infinite potential of dynamic stillness.
