John Beaulieu:
Dr. Stone, Consciousnes and the Universal Vibrational Field

Dr. Randolph Stone believed that the SOUND was the key to the energy principles of all forms of therapy. He said, „ SOUND is the logical exponent of all energy and its law of progression applied to therapy, regardless of the type of approach." In simpler terms, he is saying with this sentence that vibrational frequencies are the basis of energy medicine.

We are all vibrational beings living in a vibrating universe. The sound we hear mimics the larger vibrating universe. Every vibration has "frequencies" (law of progression) and in fact every therapy and everything else depends on these vibrational frequencies. Modern physics uses the term "quantum" for this.

In the context of Dr. Stone's Polarity Therapy and its relationship to Consciousness Research and Quantum Science. The term quantum means to quantify frequencies with the Universal Vibrational Field. John Beaulieu will discuss and demonstrate how the vibrational principles of sound are related to the Universal Vibrational Field via consciousness. Specific references and bridges between polarity therapy and modern neural research will be demonstrated.

Dr. Jim Feil:
Die Diamand Soul und the Vital Flame

Dr. Randolph Stone, in his book Vitality Balance, discusses what he calls the Diamond Soul. The following are his own words concerning that chart: “Between the downward flame and the upward going flame, there is a center of consciousness which is created by their lines of force. This makes the Diamond soul, the perfect product of experience through involution and evolution.”

In Jim’s presentations, parts one and two, he will explore the implications of this chart for therapy and for personal development. The whole book elaborates in different ways the topic of Vitality Balance and the construction of the Diamond Soul, and in these workshops we will explore through lecture, demonstration and practice, the principles and applications of the Diamond Soul.

Phil Young (IRL):
The true legacy of Dr Randolph Stone - Spirit, Psyche and Soma - The Alchemy of Healing.

To understand a person's legacy is to understand both what is unique about their life and their work and the way in which it affects posterity (future generations). In this seminar we will explore my perception of what is completely unique about Polarity Therapy - The life work of Dr Randolph Stone and his true legacy in bequeathing us the gift of Polarity Therapy.

Dr Stone's career, during which he developed the tools and concepts of Polarity Therapy, took place against the backdrop of a profoundly reductionist and materialist time in both medicine and science. The concept of a vital life force had been discarded and the role of soul and spirit had been relegated to the realms of imagination and fantasy.
Osteopathy, which Dr Stone always viewed as his primary work, was conceived of by its founder Dr Andrew Taylor Still, as a complete system of medicine and was also seen by Still as his spiritual child. Polarity Therapy was no less an entity to Dr Stone - it was his spiritual child.

If Dr Stone was the father of Polarity Therapy then its great grandfather was the great medieval healer and alchemist Paracelsus. Indeed, all Polarity Therapists could be thought of as modern day Paracelsian doctors. Dr Stone had a profound, possibly unconscious, identification with the life and work of Paracelsus.

In understanding Stone's legacy we need to understand what is truly unique about Polarity Therapy as a system of Alternative and Complementary therapy. That uniqueness does not lie in the energy, the five elements, the structure of the body, the polarity yoga exercises or the communication work. His true legacy lies in the unique vision of a therapeutic approach that embraces spirit, psyche and soma and healing as alchemy. In the orient the triad of spirit, psyche and soma would be spoken of as Heaven, Earth and Man. In Polarity this triad is the most important aspect of the Six-pointed star, the true symbol of Polarity, which symbolizes the great cosmic forces of matter and spirit with man standing between the two. The star symbolizes the role of mankind which is to bring Heaven down to Earth and raise (spiritualizing) Earth back to Heaven through the creation and building of the temple within.

It is easy to just see Stone's emphasis in Polarity Therapy as a way of healing the body, mind and emotions. Yet, Dr Stone also spoke of reconnecting the individual to nature (the planetary body) and it could be argued that in healing ourselves we are also going some way, through resonance, to healing the planet. The realization that the planet and humanity are one and the same, composed of the same building blocks of life and fundamentally dependent upon each other (reciprocal maintenance) and further that divine spirit moves through and sustains everything is a profound higher ecological message that is gaining enormous momentum in this, the third decade of the 21st century.

In this wide ranging seminar we will explore many aspects of Dr Stone’s work, including the influence of Paracelsus, an alchemical model of healing and much more.
