Having just put bucket loads of sand on our track, so we could drive out, - the thaw came!!! We are actually going shopping tomorrow for the first time in 4 weeks. For those of you who do not appreciate our geography - we live 30 miles from Portree where the one and only supermarket is situated - the Co-Op. I think Andrea is ready to kill for a banana!!
Today I am writing about how you can use the heels to energy balance. Full details are in my book - 'Healing with the Chakra Energy System'. Many of you know that by using cranio-sacral therapy or cranial osteopathy via the Vault hold (using the occiput), you can assess the flow of the cerebro-spinal fluid, analyze or diagnose for any physical or energy imbalances within the body and create an energy balance. This procedure takes a lot of learning, but once it is learnt and mastered, the rewards are amazing. We should all be able to use our diagnostic skills for the gross imbalances, but the Vault hold gives you the nuances and fine tunes everything in order that we can give the correct treatment. The heels are another very accessible area, just like the occiput. Energy flow balancing may be performed anywhere in the body, but if you happen to be a relexologist, the heels are extremely accessible and effective. The heels are just one of the body's 'Listening Posts' where you can assess, analyze and balance. Make sure the patient is comfortable and your forearms are supported. Both heels should be gently 'cuddled' without any undue pressure. At the end of about two minutes a certain amount of tingling, warmth or other sensations will be apparaent. If one heel is warm and the other is cool or sticky - or if there is any other anomoly, this shows an imbalance of energy. If there is very little warmth in either heel, this indicates a chronic situation. Before balancing can commence you first have to 'tune in' to the patient's vital force natural rhythm (similar to the vault hold). This is achieved by trying to sense a gentle expansion and contraction under the heels. The movement is very similar to the movement of the tide at the sea shore. When you have felt this, try to expand this sensation under the hands to create a 'balloon' effect of energy. Keep the rhythm going for at least a couple of minutes to allow the patient to completely relax. Then, with silent thought and intention, ask the body to energy balnce itself. You should find that the rhythm ceases and movemnet will be 'all over the place'. Your hands and their heels arn't actually moving - it just appears that they are. You have to follow the rhythm and 'go with the flow' - never oppose what is occuring!. This carries on until the expansion and contraction appear to be the same under each heel. As this occurs the patient often takes a huge sigh of relaxation. Let me stress that this is NOT the treatment itself, just the 'first course' Let me also stress that all you and your patient (you are a team) are doing at this stage is to energy balance them sufficietly so as to bring about enough harmony within their system that you can proceed to the next part - analysis. This we shall discuss next time.
