Special Ailments
This section alone is an entire book, but if I did end up jotting down all my thoughts on specific parts of the body and the illnesses that strike them, I would also be guilty of jotting down an entire volume of bias and filtered practice. I’ll speak of starting points and let you take off from there.People will approach you with various complaints, at times, simultaneous. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DIAGNOSE. Don’t begin by asking people what’s wrong with them. Then, you might end up working on the symptom rather than the source of the problem.In a lot of Western countries, I would be fast castrated for releasing these statements and ideas so far removed from what is and what is not accepted. Countries where you need rigorous mental training to heal others. Countries where real healing takes place in air-conditioned hospital rooms, where needles pump chemicals into people’s bloodstream ir order for them to get well.Do know that while it helps to be sensitive to a person’s condition, it pays well for me to keep hammering one thought that can help you navigate as to when to do this and when not to do this from another vantage point. If you are going to enter into this with any insecurities, any doubts as to your ability, fears as to what might happen, then don’t, rather than pointing fingers later on. I have not yet been accused of creating any kind of dissonance in a person’s life after undergoing so many sessions in my life. I am owing it to faith and a primal belief in what unconditional love can do. Not all healing must cost thousands or millions of pesos facilitated by people who do it because they have to earn a living. There are unexplored worlds out there we have yet to discover on how people can help each other find life, health and vigor not because it’s a job, but because it is a most beautiful way of relating to each other that will probably have the bigger chance of bringing back the NATURAL ORDER of things.Just be gentle. The sponsoring energy is the mother. There can be no more gentler sponsor than she. Is than enough to allay your mental dissonance? If not, leave it alone for now. You cannot release the energy blockages of another if you even your basic mindset is this dissonant.Moving on. Let the dance be the arbitrator on who and what in them needs work. If they agree to let them help you good. Further, if they volunteer information, let it flow into you but by no means should you stick to it as the solitary focus of the session. Do not collapse reality into what people think is real. You cannot heal a person by believing in the sickness. Instead, start off by believing in wellness, and that sickness is just a stumbling block that you are about to remove.Depending on the ailment, you can do the session in lying, sitting or standing positions. If it’s an ailment where you need mobility or specific access to the back, for instance, back pain, or ailments involving the shoulders or the arms, start with the cross-legged position but with ample room in case the flow leads them to lie on their back. If it’s caused generally by a lack (or imbalance) of energy such as fatigue, headache, mental disturbance, let them lie down. The latter position applies to severe cases such as cancer, stroke, heart conditions.On purely psychological terms, many who will approach you with ailments are quite open to the possibility that they will leave the space healed. You have to match the faith they place on you with your own conviction that you have the capacity to help them, truly – without letting it go to your head that you are their “healer.” You are nothing but a placebo. All doctors and medicines, all healers and their rituals are mere placebos. Only the self can heal the self.Knowing you are placebo, you have two responsibilities. You are in a position to heal people AND to invariably teach them that it was they who healed themselves.Begin each session by asking them to close their eyes and first letting them absorb the music. Your goal is to take their attention away from normal limitation consciousness where their scattered focus is directed to their pain. In such cases, I begin with music that triggers the delta brain wave frequency. Currently, I’ve been using a sound healing rendition of a Mozart lullaby by Steven Halpern followed by The Healing Spirits by The Troikas.For sessions that begin with your partner lying down, your goal is to start the infusion of energy at zero point. Don’t even bring energy into the picture until their body is absolutely relaxed from head to toe. Don’t talk them into relaxation such as in guided meditations; use only the music and a little bit of patience. The better you are at this, the easier it will be to facilitate the process later.Start with the crown, both for the sitting and the lying down start-off points. Simultaneously center yourself as you feel your partner’s energy ball gathering force. Feel your partner. Feel the floor. Feel the room. Feel the music. Feel yourself.Then, from the energy surge you should feel coming into your heart, your brain and your spine, gently let your fingers and your wrist begin to dance as it massages your partner’s head. Pay attention to the temples and the crown primarily. Don’t expect that your partner will instantly find the movements from the lying down position.If Your Partner is Lying Down. From this position, the healing is more passive. The entry of earth energy from the ground and cosmic energy from above is horizontally scattered across the body. It is important to begin with zero-point energy from this position. When I say zero-point, I’m referring to the most relaxed mental (which defines the physical) state possible. When you do this, you are attempting to lower the electro-magnetic pulse of your partner. When mental activity is low, so is the body’s magnetic frequency. This is the optimal state in which electric resonance may be infused into your energy partner.First, raise the level of vibration of the crown chakra by activating it similarly to the instructions given earlier. After around five minutes of concentrating on the crown and the temples, move your attention to the arms.Start with the energy gaps on the wrists. If you do this well, the arm section from the elbow to the hands should have no problems finding the inner dance. From zero-point, people’s experience of having those arms move without their conscious volition should be striking for those to experience this for the first time. It is difficult to deny the inner dance when a person is lying down because of the way the body spontaneously moves against the flow of gravity.Once an arm finds the movement, leave it alone. Let it just dance, before you bring your attention to the other arm. The longer people do the movements, the easier it will be for them to bring the level up to the shoulders. When you intuitively feel the moment come, activate the energy gap where the funny bone should be, then gently nudge it into the dance. Your partner should feel a spontaneous rush that makes the entire arm region reach upwards in slow gentle rhythmic movements.If this doesn’t happen, then assume that there is a major energy block you have to work on. Walk around your partner slowly. Don’t presuppose that you are going to consciously focus on where you think the block in the body might be. Instead, bring your attention to your own body. Find the dance. Just find it. Don’t do anything. Just let the flow take you over. Your hands will begin to make spiraling or circular movements that will slowly rest on a body part. Whether your hands simply enervate, massage or dance in the vicinity of the body part, maintain that flow. Did your hands go to the arms, the feet, legs, head, heart, abdomen? Whatever the case, do what your body makes you do. Give it whatever time it needs. You will know what to do and when to stop.Bring your energy back to the arms. See if it begins to gain force. Once the arm movements gain momentum, you’ve managed to release what blocks were hampering the flow. If you haven’t, you just have to keep repeating the process of finding all of the blocks you are led to and to focus on them. If nothing works, be prepared to just let things be and either just let your partner get what he or she can gain from lying there in the music’s embrace, given that the moment, your pure intention and what self-healing capacity could work on the body during the duration of the session have done their part. You can also opt to massage them instead. I honestly don’t believe I can put the true inner massage training in a book or a webpage. This is something you have to find yourself or find someone who can teach you. I have met but a few who can really do this well, and even those few cannot do it constantly. I have my “off” days myself. Do come and visit me if you want to really learn this. There are just too many levels to it and I’ve managed to give only one advanced workshop on the meeting point of inner dance and massage since I began to teach inner dance a year and a half ago.Now if the arms are flowing freely, the next energy holes are somewhere at the back of the shoulders. Since your partner is lying down, wait for the moments when their arms reach upwards, (it happens most of the time) to give you access to any part of the back that you can lightly touch. Slowly place pressure, taking care not to push them to move in any certain way. Don’t forget, no matter when points you’re pressing, you must always be conscious that the points are dynamic. If you do not move with them, you’re performing acupressure or reflexology. Maintain your focus on this area for a few minutes, paying attention to the arm movements and whether they really have found it. You will know it if they have, if the force of the movements are gathering momentum no matter how bad their illness. It is my own general rule of thumb that, save for exceptional cases such as paralysis or coma, the more profound the illness, the more receptive people should be to the flow of dancing energy.Once the momentum has taken over, raise the music tempo up a notch. If there is an air-conditioning unit or fan that is turned on at all, turn it off now and partially open any windows that might allow fresh ventilation to flow into the room (does not apply to highly polluted areas).Just wait. Distancing might help, as well as freeing any loosening that may have turned up within your own body from the resonance you received from the session so far.A time will also come when you will intuitively feel that your partner should sit up. You can work on the chakras more effectively from this position. If your partner did not yet spontaneously sit up, place yourself near the head, while kneeling. Put some pressure on the crown (don’t push upwards but simply nudge gently) and see if your partner will indeed automatically sit up on his or her own. If this doesn’t happen, try the same slight pressure behind the shoulders. Did the person sit up? If no, just let your partner be. If yes …If Your Partner is Sitting Down. This process is slightly different in regards to the ascension of energy through the spine as compared to when your partner is lying down. The work is more active for both you and your partner.Your entire focus is to direct the concentration of energy from the base of the spine to the crown. You might already be familiar with kundalini, chakra, shakti or sekhem energy, which refers to the feminine energy that should be cycling from the base of the spine to the crown and back, but is usually atrophied at the base of the spine due to dense blockages located on the higher chakra points.From the sitting down position, it is always good to start with activating the crown and loosening the blockages on the neck to help your partner find enough looseness to intuit the inner dance at the regions of the throat and thyroid chakra system.After around five to ten minutes, depending on your partner’s receptivity, see if there were any spontaneous changes in your partner’s posture. Did it straighten on its own? If it did, see if the energy gains enough momentum that it activates the arms on its own. If not, you will have to infuse your own active resonance along the spinal column starting with the heart and thymus chakra points, later moving to the solar plexus, the sex, and the root chakras (concentrate on this last chakra point if and when the person spontaneously bends down).Has the person gained momentum? If no, try letting your energized fingers be led to certain dynamic points around the areas near the shoulder blades. You will know if it is either blocked or needs an infusion of resonant energy. If you don’t feel anything, it is both you and your partner that is blocked. If you feel a slight energy rush, then a loosening and infusion of resonant energy is taking place. Keep at it, applying some pressure if you intuitively feel the need to do so.Move your attention to the arms, specifically the energy gaps at the wrist and the funny bone. Nudge the wrist to see if it will fly off with your slight guidance. If it remains in the air after you remove your finger, leave it alone and see if it will find the dance on its own. If it falls again, repeat the process a few times. If it keeps falling, you have to go back to the shoulder area, maybe even the forearms, the biceps, the triceps and the shoulder blades, and lastly the spine. There are no rules or any specific order on how to loosen the blockages on the arms, and any other part of a person’s body. Massage helps but so does inner dancing around the area, just focusing on the energy field. The healer and the partner’s over-all energies have a great effect on the outcome of the session, but so does the room, the music, and many other factors. These suggestions are meant to help you start out until you later sense that you have different healing opportunities presented in every person and every moment that is given to you. Don’t let this daunt you. This is your chance to discover your own techniques that will help you best in finding new ways to heal people through the inner dance.From this point, the energy should take you and your partner to whatever is best for both. There’s no point in defining what you should do when this or that happens. Otherwise, this specific healing process begins to take the form of a discipline, rather than an open-ended avenue on the way towards our free, forever and infinite selves. Try to refrain from falling into habitual patterns. Energy resides in formlessness. It retreats on the threat of falling into repetition. Energy abhors clichés. It gets bored as easily as you do. It gets excited only when you yourself are excited; it starts bouncing around when you find your ability to see newness in all sorts of experiences, whether pleasant or daunting, often even in situations that are especially problematic.Continued, Alchemy . . .
