Welcome

Let me ask you .. .

What is your focus?
Self and /or others?
Wounded womb?
Broken heart?
Fractured life?

Let us take a step back – OUT of the experience of being in a body and ask – what IS a body?
And realise that we are here by virtue of our Shen – spirit and its soul script.
And our Qi – moving as it must or we die
Blood energy – to nurture/nourish us
And Jing – as the inner wealth/bank account that we run out and either live on the interest (by living well) or accelerating – and live really poorly ‘aging’ fast – extinguishing our future as we do.

To heal – we must . . . change

Paradigm shift needed

Any body of water must flow – or stagnate.

We have when it moves well:

We have a life ahead of us of choice.
When it slows pain and dysfunction begin – and we are ‘taken out’ till we attend to the body warnings.
That WILL get ever louder.

Liver Qi and what it does . .
Inhabiting a water logged bag of tissue we must keep the circulation of Blood/body fluids – red, blue and colourless (lymph) and the nerves moving freely.

This is in essence what may be slowing the body clearing itself.
Homeostasis.
Return to optimal.

My intention as an acupuncturist is to move the Qi

All else is then possible.

The initial questions we must answer.
What is Qi? (Qi, pronounced chee, loosely translates as ‘energy’ but is far more than what we in the English language refer to as ‘energy’. In Chinese medicine, the body is seen to have many different types and uses of and for Qi. Our personal Qi circulates within and around us, and is viewed as a power source. We live by virtue of our ability to manufacture more Qi. This allows us to maintain our equilibrium in the face of change (homeostatic balance), and to repair and reproduce ourselves.

What allows free movement?
What blocks this?

5’T’s’ tension, temperature, torpor, trauma, toxins

How did they build up and stay stuck?

Whilst we could be as the bio-mechanical and thus bio-medical people – focus on the end result of flows NOT flowing.

Naming through the pathophysiology is where all ‘natural’ healing modalities must now validate their existence.
Much effort is spent to use a paradigm that is not their’s – acupuncture a great example.

When the Qi is stuck . . we get distracted by a ‘dodgy’ body.
We do not need to know what lens the lack of flows are filtered through – naming what part is down and say ‘oh well’ – as in Bells Palsy – why not call it as it is? Not someone who ‘wrote about it/’discovered’ it – and what happens – facial muscles fall down’ – but – what happened? Wind Cold in the Facial Channels?
That way you know what do – clear out the wind cold – and before that – why it lodged and there and strengthen after all – so it does not again . . Endometriosis – describing the ‘itis’ – inflammation in the endometrium – gives no clue as to why THAT womb/body responded in that way – thus – myriad ways to undo – and how?

In the case below – a foot still upset after being broken – let us look to how healing happens . .
And before this – how well bodies work.

Take out the guess work

In beginning my natural health solutions finding when I set up my first clinic in the beginning of 1979 in Brisbane city, I needed as a single mum with no family – not even a car and no child support – how to survive in business. Give the people what they are coming for. Hope – all in ‘terminal’ stages of pain and trauma. Nothing to add medically – they had their hands shaken – and often told to put their affairs in order.
At least there was honesty – there was nothing more that he medicos of the day could do.

Enter a useful system – get the flows flowing – as acupuncture – and allied lymph/body work that I quickly developed – used.
Add in the ingredients needed – nutrients to add healing initially whole foods (getting people off white and onto brown bread was hard enough) and attend to the backlog of malnutrition (bad choices) leading them into their current state of disrepair.

The current crop of drugs (see the Flexnor Report) was not developed – as was no laporoscopies, arthroscopies or even an endo diagnosis/awareness. Anti inflammatories and ‘modern’ pain meds/even stomach ulcer treatments were not yet here. Much suffering was just expected. People often spoke of having had their hands shook . .

I quickly worked through my need to have people return – make them better. Fix the problems.

I choose to go back to the source.
Why – and then how it was set up and from there – what stopped the body naturally doing its own house cleaning?

(From my bed office . .)

1 – Here we see me doing some of what is possible.
2 – Please note that we were both short on time and the usual ’embroidery; was not evident.
3 – Also that I went deep quite quickly – she has been helping with the GB bashes and also – I go by what is possible and we are in front of a male camera person and have a mission – get this filmed, and gone. .

4 – Most of this is either Heather/foundational moves and add-ons or Mercier inspired . .
There is the D.E. heels to bum and I c/should have done D.E. Twist . .
That I feel would have made huge inroads. . and of course – moxa sacral fan to begin with and around the ankle bone – I can’t. You can.
Respectfully – we achieved a lot – but this is not the usual way to do business!

This is what Hilary wrote.

Ankle Session with Heather 14 Sept 2020

“It was good to be reminded of certain critical points of learning The Gentling Way during my session today with Heather while she treated me for my broken foot –
That any accident recall work that I had previously done on my ankle would remain ineffective due to not having done sufficient other work prior to running the accident recall process.
I had forgotten how to effectively do a pull up without using other muscle groups which Heather could see and caught me out on. I had also forgotten how many times Heather would ask a client during a session to do a pull up, inspect the tongue, and check mobility of the neck, run a temperature check. During this session, Heather did a combination of these checks multiple times.
I could extend my self-care routine to include gua sha my lower limbs. (H additon – Going towards the heart)
The importance of addressing the scar tissue because it seems I have quite a lot of it which will have been playing a big part in my general health & contributing to ongoing SLQi & gall bladder/kidney presentations.
This ankle injury has landed in my body which represents the gall bladder meridians & that it’s done what it has done also due to having had it operated on 3years ago to repair a 20cm long torn ligament.
I will have to keep up with lots of figure 8 exercises several times each day to retrain my foot on how to work, because several times during the session when Heather calibrated the increase of movement, it was like the brain and the foot were not connected. Sometime we could see an improvement and other times I could hardly get the foot to twirl.
Sometime the opposite & opposing limb holds the secret to reducing pain and increasing movement, it’s just about exploring the client’s limbs & poking around with confidence, asking questions until you find the spot.
The importance of Moxa and to keep applying it, not just in the beginning when the incident first occurs – so either applied as self care – or a client comes back to see a practitioner on a regular weekly basis for moxa treatment.
Remembering to keep asking the client to roll over (like a rotisserie chicken). Ask the client to stand up and move around, don’t just move into leaving the client so comfortable that they can go to sleep.
When you think you have missed a step out, just go back & do it, regardless of the order you had originally intended.
Pondering is important to give depth to deciding what the next move might be to benefit the client & unlock another level of whatever it is.
Offer the client water intermittently.
Magnesium yourself up as well as the client throughout the session.
Keep an eye on the length of your nails & trim them accordingly.
Undo the bra straps on female clients while doing SLQ moves because we are getting the lymph moving.
Keep taking the clients temperature as part of the calibration protocols.
Look after your body, listen to it.
Ensure that you adjust your stance accordingly so as not to put oneself at risk of strain or injury”.

Love this – like a rotisserie chicken

Front – back – front – back – front – back
NOTE WELL – We would have begun sacral moxa fan – but I can’t.

What did I do?
Went in with the intention to show you all how much you can do with this – Gentling Way is NOT about yonis, and wombs – hurt or otherwise. WE live in a body. We need to allow it to clear and thrive.

Actual session
Me setting it up and checking this and that .and teaching in between

I did not do the cupping navel and add-ons – you would – as she initially DID ice this ..
And the loo seat at her place is enough – as well as the weather and time of year . .and we need the Qi to be at our call.
Moxa – always used – can’t now – you can.
Evaluation all the way through . .and we would normally have done Acc Recall.
I am showing how undoing pelvis will improve the circulation to extremeties – and the temp gun is out to show those who wonder- flows do increase – hence temps warm and normalise.

Working on the bum . .

1.30 – sacral work
2.20 – SLQR
4.50 – I am moving slowly across – it may look like I am pressing down – not so
8.30 – Working on the front lymphatics.

Discussing the foot and how it feels/fixing it – distally

1.20 – Chest drainage – and checking how it all feel s- we are moving the lymph
3.00 – Checking the HH correction – not needed – but the I.C. correction is.
3.15 – Clearing the Ileo cecal value
5.30 – I had to go find what to use to trim nails. . sorry – not edited out.

4 or 5 – we have having issues with getting the footage up

Not sure how I set this up – you can see me getting ready .
3 minutes is a long time we did not know how much more we could load onto the phones. .

More back work

More doing the Mercier moves . .
Scral, twist, stretching, hippy shake, shakey shakey,more sacral,

Covering checking how the foot feels when we do the upper Mirror X points I would be needling for the C section resolution . .
Moving on the ovarian and the uterine rakes.

Checking the foot – Mirror X again

Up t0 1.30 – discovery
1.30 –on – adhesion braking
2.40 working on the wristAfter watching this – I should have done The Twist (Don Elijio’s). Would have been amazing – so out of touch – literally – we all need to remember also – castor oil packs after this work.
And up inside vag as this will allow the inner adhesions to let go.
And steaming!!!!
plus moxa over Chinese liniment over magnesium oil on the bone – daily . .

Leaky gut?
You may have forgotten . ileo cecal valve correction

Also – how to make friends with your gut

Who is I?

Are you the body – or the soul inhabiting – or the mass of memories and programmes that thinks that it is in control?

AND

Do you now about locked-in syndrome?

How would you go?
What a story!
