We covered – DOING it
Yvonne notices that after my work on her – she feels taller, looser and lighter. More at peace. These are common comments.
Also that the checkers are extremely important when doing this work
Some time was spent on the reasons why using this work was not coming together for either of them. We are all in this together. The ‘disposable’ income is drying up – has gone, and the changes this entails in all of us are unsettling. Bodies are not coping (Does Your Life Hurt?)
CARDS – my action ones – the first one yesterday was ‘the Gift of A Question’ – and this applies all through my work. Rosita’s cards – with DEP: see here.
Initially – what do you intend to do with this work – and the BECAUSE’S that come up . . (Resistances/excuses and so on)
Using Michelle as the recipient of care, Yvonne got do more with her hands.
We interspersed with scars – my C section and how we see the ‘back for front’ idea play out in practice .
The Reconnecting content was the focus, as both students needed the foundation
Accident Recall – after the PV. work – I use 4 gates needles after this to calm all down – it is a huge shift for the person often, so they have to get up really slowly – offer salt and warm water – and they need to go for a short walk, clear themselves – before you go on . . Vibrational remedies all needed at this point in the before, during and after. I use a selection of Aura Soma and the Young Living oils as well as what I feel – smelling my roses is a good start
Look back to here also – 7 L’s dependent on us being in the Light
Part of Triage is clearing out what is getting in the way of the body healing/repairing itself. As designed.
DECLUTTER – RESET – RESTORE
Cupping the back – (few in the world know to cup the navel. Is my resurrection of it as Dr John Shen showed us in 1980. That was at home help in China – and all who survived the at least 60 million killed, keep family secrets close to their chests – the only ones who are carrying lineage escaped to the West – 80+++ years ago . . Here is the belly navel cupping revision
FIRE CUPPING – so called now as we have options of silicon, and of those with a pump involved – these are not warming . . (WHY CUP?) – to pull out stuck – ‘SHA’ and from the superficial layers of the skin – always Gua Sha first – see here – is in the Foundational Moves online course. (MANUAL HERE)
CHEST GUA SHA – see here – for stuck in the chest/heart
Cupping Yvonne first – before she watched me work on Michelle . Yvonne was all tensed up from life – Y felt warm all over, as circulation shifted.
Key points
Keep them warm/covered
Always Gua Sha first. Stops the likelihood of blistering as the excess cold/damp/wind ] caught in the superficial layers of the energy ‘coverings’ needs releasing – is easier in sequence.
TRIAGE – Calm the Shen (See WDCD pp 28-29). We went over that again . See all in the ‘Selfing’ and the ‘Beginnings’ and ‘Reconnecting’ printed manuals sent by email. I suggest that you get them printed out – and flick through to remind yourselves at times. Humans are social beings – we relate/connect. The person as a primate is being essentially being groomed – touched well – gently, feeling safer than usual is likely to let go. And being heard – the listening is not only by our ears. Yvonne picked up the card initially “I do not always need words”). See also the free online course – Life Rescue
INTENTION – to clear the blockages
We started with my C scar – and as usual – we felt the bladder before and after peeing – then the nuances of scar palpation. Then – working on the back for the front – and using checkers always – we need to know what we got up to – and the person also – tongue, sore points (Michelle was not reactive to Liver 13, GB 25 (look up on WDCD) after we did the touchie work. For me – is the feel and look of the sacrum and also how the scar looks/feels after – and of course me being able to stand upright . .
Transformative – the C scar in my case was a whole lot of drama. After he had saved my life, having nearly lost it, there was also tying off my tubes – no more babies for me!! After collecting all the clots and frank blood that was not supposed to be there – he had created the rupture of the subchoronic hematoma as he forgot why I was not having a home birth . . . Thus it is an unusual complex scar – though healed ‘OK’ – I needled it within 2 weeks, ad I could feel all the keloiding happening under the wound – it has been a study in self correction – and still – it is giving me more to study . .
Below right – using a sarong to palpate through
Always there is more uprightness one the sacral work has been done – and many times within a session is the idea – rotisserie as Hilary said ages ago. More on the sacrum here. You must explore and correct the coccyx and its restrictions – and that is constantly going back to the pelvic opening moves as well – ideally sacral moxa fan begins this – but I can’t demonstrate – you will have to play with it. COCCYX here
WORK NOT WHERE ‘THE PROBLEM’ IS
Besides me saying – front for the back and the mirror issue – see more here – there is also – It has been set up. We explored what led Michelle to be in that state, she was in to get the infected stomach after the ‘dry pneumonia’ and pleurisy, and with a toddler . . Life is persistent/relentless and eventually the whispers become roars – before death . .
As she has had a large belly wound – we were working up to that. I did add in some pricklies as it is easier on the recipient of care to be not only the subject of the teaching session . Dr van Buren – Bil St 25, Cv 6 – to release all adhesions – I have explored that in the touchies – classes – we all have felt the instant easing of tension on the belly with our hands – and also Bil St 30 – as he said that was to be inserted monthly for 2 years after any torso surgery – that also releases well. We did not go straight into the adhesion breaking – and released a lot of the back first.
HOW DID I COME TO HERE?
My decades of asking different questions. Answers? I worked it out – and often felt so dumb, when the obvious finally hit me in the face. Please remember we are telescoping what I had over my professional life – as bright lights. . .whilst standing attempting to help the apparently unsolvable – so it may sound odd – but it all works – please do it . .and see if you can prove me wrong. My best moments are when I have to – as times are a’changing ..
Main takeaways – We need checkers – have to see where we were to begin with. Gentle, almost no pressure is often best. Follow breath work
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT – DO IT . .
With all we do – it starts with clarity, intention, and of course R.I.C.E . – also moving Qi/Lymph/Blood . ..and getting out of own way . .
The Gentling Trauma Relief and Gentling Self Discovery – will get there – after the touchie and the pricklies info is completed – and the books. . .
Me – the student/seeker of truth. We all have a motivation – a driving need.- mine was to ensure my child, then children were not at the mercy of what I could see had happened to my first son’s dad – a lifetime of mess. I was the normal student/asked awkward questions – always way ahead of the teacher – asking “does it work?” I would trial it – if not – I needed to know why not? Not always operator error – likely – not enough info given – or – these days – we will try it out, not even bothering to answer the question – Is it safe?’ ‘First Do No Harm’ has been at the mercy of the lobbyists. The Flexnor Report and ego/status/power/pecking order within the state/sanctioned – 1910 Flexner Report, written by Abraham Flexner, significantly impacted medical education in the United States and beyond, leading to extensive reforms. (The report recommended that proprietary medical schools either close or be incorporated into universities, advocating for a science- and research-based approach to medical education) SEE HERE
NOT ABOUT ALTRUISM OR HEALTH – BUT A RETAIL INDUSTRIAL MODEL
Instead I have constructed . . . the 7 ‘L’s’
1 – Light – we are all here through grace to experience these times.
2 – lineage, – we are the descendants of the winners – they survived on their following truths
3 – Liver (standing in for all the energy/electrical bodies we have/are),
4 – lymph – the inner sea and waste disposal system.
5 – ligaments – what holds us in place and the
LINE the delineates control:
6 – lies – all the constructed realities we are supposed to adhere to – non biological,
7 – litigation and the
8 – lizard/reptilean ways to keep the slaves enslaved. SERIOUS
where I was seeking extras – plus the acupuncture – in my class intake we got body aligning/lymph and of course the classical acupuncture to begin with – pre TCM take over.
ORIGINS OF THIS WORK
1 – Me being directed in this life – asking different questions and needing to know – and being placed where the info was at hand.
MY CONTRIBUTION – Living in a mother’s woman’s body/ life, and putting it all together over the decades of Qi and body aligning. Trial and error..
2 – JV – my acupuncture lecturer – who was eventually incarcerated for being too liberal with his male bits – and inserting where not appropriate- students, receptionists and patients. HIS CONTRIBUTIONS – Structure Determines Function: Lymphatic drainage, prostatic clearances, adhesion breaking, womb placement, joint mobilization, kinesiology and Touch For Health. Hiatal hernia and Ileo Cecal valve corrections, also various spheno-bascila moves and aortic repositioning that I am not doing currently
3 – ARVIGO /MAYA – CONTRIBUTIONS – Self care, steaming, women’s business historical context, DEP twist, sacral/ coccygeal importance, Blind Midwives Shake, Hortence”s point. Most important – the ovarian suspensory ligament /pelvic rotation diagnostic and corrections, sacral and back, and heels to bum stretches. Copal and lustral bowls, importance of prayer, intentional grace. COULD HAVE ALSO BEEN DEP’S PULSE WORK
4 – MERCIER – CONTRIBUTIONS – Ovarian whirlpool, uterine rake, taking leg for a walk (inguinal groove), glut slides, sacral smash, under bum
HEATHER’S GENTLING WAYS BRINGS
Acknowledgement of the Energy and Light bodies, the role of hydration, nutrition, what is blocking absorption of ingredients, feelings and what comes up.
Need for constantly checking what we have done, have to do, what is happening as we move through the layers, and using helpers to allow soothing into the release of life residue. Depth of working – shallow to the depths, the role of breathing (Reichian armour bands to be considered), rotisserie, Mirror X and the need for pacing/steaming between. Tenets of the Gentling Way – The Body Heals Itself, The Body Remembers Everything That Has Ever Happened To It, Energy Follows Thought, Flows Have To Flow, and Structure Determines Function.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARVIGO and HEATHER’S GENTLING WAYS
Arvigo – physically straight into the lower pelvis, or sacrum with no untethering first. Depth of moves, and sequence not logical for the body to untangle itself. NO MENTION OF SCARS/ADHESIONS
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MERCIER and HEATHER’S GENTLING WAYS
Mercier – Dr Jen is first to say that this is not not ‘wooo woo’ – all is biomedical. At best she is attempting to replicate nature by being mechanical and pharma orientated. Intention – to get babies into being. Or endo fixed with biologicals and anti inflammatory enzymes. NO MENTION OF SCARS/ADHESIONS Depth of moves, no setting up to win, no steaming included, all is expected to be forced and to stay into place.
Right side – read from the bottom upwards
What becomes instantly apparent is the need for a holistic approach
Caring and nurturing – not mechanical protocol driven clock watching. Clearing life residue and entanglement is individual and takes long as it takes.
Role of COLD – and the need if not using moxa (highly important) is steaming, hot water bottles and keeping the skin covered to prevent cool invasion whilst working – warmth gives comfort and as we work, tepid water offered as the moves encourage lymph repair,.
REMINDER – we get to WOMB WOES TO WOMB WONDERS NEXT – Living Ligaments I
FIRST – we release her (womb) – as she (and the entire being) is being held hostage.
Day three – we went into the more Advanced Living Ligaments work. Yvonne and Beth have done it all – but due to the post 2020 business and then both being senior home birth midwives who understand duty of care, and body sovereignty, had not capitulated, this are not where they intended to be in their lives – and need comfort and restoration of their confidence in this vitally needed work – Womb Woes to Womb Wonders
REMINDER – THIS IS OUR LANE
Where she is dictates all the body as the ligaments and the peritoneum connect all to all.
Nestled correctly – note – you cannot see the ovaries or tubes – THAT would be a trick – as you would then see how diabolical not correcting her is as the twists to get the flows in and out of the ovaries as womb shifts are massive – of course distressing the entire body and soul as the Liver energy not only is in charge of the free flowing of all in a body, but also the ligaments and thus, when upset – everything is in chaos.
