| Spinal Balancing
This course focuses on the spine as the “tree of life”. The student
learns to evaluate the spine structurally and energetically through visual
observation and palpation, using the six-pointed star pattern as the guideline.
Then specific manipulations are learnt so as to align the sacrum or “sacred
bone” with the spine and cranium so as to facilitate the flow of energy
from the ultrasonic core to all parts of the body. Techniques include muscle
and vertebra releases, stretch releases, positive force muscle contacts,
low impulse leverage, sacral balancing and pelvis/hip adjustments.
Autonomic Nervous System and Five Point Star
The autonomic nervous system is the interface between the mind and the body.
In this course you will learn how to bring balance to the sympathetic/parasympathetic
nervous systems through specific Polarity techniques to release holding patterns
in the spine, the perineum and the coccyx. This work will be taught with
reference to the five point star pattern of the energy field.
Deepening the Elements
Each of the elements will be studied in greater depth to include more specific
work on the colon, the digestive system, the uro-genitary system and the
lymphatic system and how to support the bodywork with nutritional evaluations
and recommendations.
Cleanse Group
You will learn the art of cleansing through a process of self-exploration.
The emphasis of this course is on cleansing the whole being and finding your
own pace. Various cleansing techniques will be employed in order to rejuvenate
ourselves on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. In order
to follow the progression in our personal and group process, this course
will be integrated into the various weekends of the R.P.P. course in seven
3-hour sections.
Communication and Counselling II
In part II of the counselling course we will review and master the skills learned
in the basic counselling and learn new skills with reference in particular
to boundary issues, addictive behaviour, dysfunctional thinking, co-dependency.
We will also learn how to recognize the five elements in the counselling
process and how to formulate strategies based upon this understanding.
Polarity Cranial Balancing
I & II
According to Dr. Stone, “ the life-breath of the prana current moves
in the cerebrospinal fluid conductor to all tissues and cells…like a
living cosmic breath”. In this course you will learn how to feel the
subtle “primary respiratory pulse” of the cerebrospinal fluid
in the cranium and throughout the body. This awareness is then used to unwind
the knots in the fascia, often releasing the mental and emotional components
of the tension oin the process, and clearing the cellular memories.
In part one we focus on the sacrum and occiput as well as the frontal, parietal,
temporal and sphenoid bones. In part two we deepen our understanding of the
relationship between the sphenoid and occiput and learn how to unwind each
of the facial bones.
Energetic Nutrition
Learn to recognize the elemental qualities in the world of food.
Take eating histories and analyse them to help your clients to
come to a greater awareness and guide them to a more balanced
relationship with food.
Advanced Supervision and Study Group
Work with clients under direct supervision and receive guidance
and feedback. You will also have an opportunity to bring specific
cases which are challenging to you, to be examined in a way
that sheds light on your process, especially in relation to
transference and counter-transference.
Polarity Exercise
Combines stretching postures with breathing and sound to increase
vitality and flexibility and balance the five elements. You
will learn how you can use the exercises to support and empower
your clients in their healing process. This will be integrated
into the other weekends.
Business and Professional Ethics
Managing the financial aspects of your Polarity practice and
understanding professional ethics are essential for a balanced
and successful practice. This class is to empower you to become
successful on all levels, strengthening your boundaries and
business skills and honouring your work in life.
Internship
This process is a rite of passage to private practice in the
healing arts. It is a powerful process which involves the use
of videotaped sessions, and is an opportunity for personal
and group empowerment with one’s peers and instructor.
