STILLNESS: Practices and Touch

Class Overview:


Open to anyone desiring to deepen contact with their authentic, natural state through the cultivation of embodied Stillness, Presence, and Touch.

Through stillness practices and non-doing 'neutral' touch - letting what is be as it is - we transmit our essence, as unconditional love, to another.

Day One:

"Finding Stillness: Practices"

We'll learn a series of practices to embody Stillness, out of which we contact the wisdom of the body as the flow of life. By repeated contact with life's inner flow we gradually cease self-intervention and access our natural state -- let it be -- neither interfering with, withdrawing into, nor leaving ourselves amid contact with the depths of Dynamic Stillnessand its revelation to us.

To embody the natural state frees your consciousness from the gripping and rejecting tendencies of the personality structure. Our Natural State is revealed to us by certain practices: Stillness Meditation, Whole-body Breathing, Attuning to our Midline, Sensing the Tone of the Atmosphere, Infusing the Four Centers - Head, Heart, Belly, and Pelvis - with the Presence of Stillness, and Resting into the SA Node of our Heart.

When these practices unify as one process it becomes a Sacred Sense: Spiritual Touch, by which we directly contact the singular living substance (Sophia) that permeates and flows between the body and all that is within infinite Stillness.

Day Two:

"Stillness Touch: The Art of Transmission"

Designed to deepen, through touch, the stillness practices we learned.

We will touch in a manner that does not interfere with the freedom of life's flow in the recipients body, which when left unimpeded - as it is - becomes the flow of Love.

We will feelingly navigate the tonal stages of touch -- Inner Preparation, Making Bodily Contact, Waiting, Coming off the body, Closure, Integration, Support and Validation -- in a way that frees the recipient's delicate unfolding flow of consciousness.

Essentially, this class reveals that we are each capable of gifting to another the mystery of Touch as a body-to-body transmission of unconditional Love.

"The surprises of the two days were delicious. Your workshop was/is beyond words. I am still in an altered state and may never be the same again. Hooray. Thank you for the lifetime developing this work. Even more for the generosity of sharing it so freely. Your workshop had no padding, no jargon, no hype, and just delivered again and again in deceptively simple words and actions."

"Since 1967, I have been involved with finding out who I really am...the blockages in seeing into true nature is hidden in our minds and bodies. When we relax our ego control, then strong, true messages come through. Easily said, but how to do? Charles Ridley has been of great help in allowing my blockages to be seen through. Don't ask me how he does it; in fact, he doesn't seem to do anything, but the results can be both subtle and dramatic."
