presenter
Mary Seamster, BA, LMT, BCST,
Integrative Aquatic Therapist
This presentation will start with an overview of Franklin Sill’s writing on Ignition from 2008. We will explore how to palpate the larger fields around us and how these fields correlate to the “three Ignitions“. We will look at the Sacred Geometry of the energy as it is embodied into form, and use this premise to lay down a protocol for working with Conception, Heart and Birth Ignitions.
Sills and Sutherland both talk about “the three Ignitions”: Conception Ignition, Heart Ignition & Birth Ignition. How many of us have had the energetic experience of the laying down of our personal matrix, the evolution of our involution?
Mary will offer handouts that will include writings from Dr. Stone, the origins of Acupuncture, Sacred Geometry and more. These handouts will aid practitioners in understanding the foundation of this discussion, and enable them to continue with their own explorations once the night is over. The evening will be a composite of lecture (sitting) interspersed with hands-on (sitting/standing) experience followed by a 30-minute practice in triads on tables.
