Parallel reflexes - joints

At last my new computer is up and running - Windows 7 is SO much better (I had better not crow too much as me and inanimate objects sometimes fall out with one another. To carry on with the basic healing techniques, today's blog is how to utilise hands on energy therapy by balancing and treating painful joints.

With very few exceptions it does not matter what the aetiology is, unless the pain is referred from a distance. Please note the following parallels:-

SHOULDER WITH HIP
ELBOW WITH KNEE
WRIST WITH ANKLE
CARPUS WITH TARSUS
OCCIPUT WITH SACRUM
UPPER CERVICAL WITH LOWER LUMBAR SPINE

Ask the patient where the pain is - do NOT place you hand immediately on it! Go to the parallel joint and you WILL (not maybe) find a sore point on the exact parallel e.g. cubital fossa of elbow is parallel to popliteal fossa of the knee etc. Do some gentle stimulation with the forefinger pad of one hand for a few seconds until this soreness eases. As soon as the soreness eases leave the finger or hand on the parallel joint and pl;ace the other hand over the painful region. Make sure you are comfortable. Energy balancing occurs when the sensation under each hand is the same - this could take up to five minutes. The patient/client should tell you that the pain has eased. Please remember that you need Focus and Intention (read previous blogs) and you are utilizing their vital force - not yours!! Let me know how you get on.
