Regardless of how old/little the scar
1 – A body remembers everything that has happened to it
2 – Flows must flow
3 – Bodies heal themselves – when we release/allow stored ‘life residue’ its exit
(May include the need to learn the lesson).
This (obvious when I mention it) snippet of information may not have been forefront in any acupuncture teaching as the biomedical bio mechanical versions of tangible existence have won out against the holistic approach to life on earth – as a soul encased in a mammalian wrapper, living as a human. In these times. . ..
Ever seen an acupuncture chart?
Here is a working beginner’s entry into Qi flow – you need to Live Well to enjoy being in a body.
Physical scarring
If there has been any contusion, blockage happens (“oh that – it is scar'”) and is expected and usually ignored. In my work, especially when I did the Body Talk initial training with my acupuncture teacher Dr John Veltheim, I reminded how especially a tiny scar – as with chicken pox on the face – can really mess with global life flows.
My initial scar training happened as an embodied lesson.
In class we were to ind a scar on each other and needle it – and see what happened,. We did.
Having been a forceps delivery, I had a mark on my eyebrow. Four tiny acupuncture needles later – I lost my vision in that eye fro 10 minutes! When it cleared the vision was better than before.
A sign! Hence forth in my professional life as a healing conduit and as a course developer and teacher/mentor of acupuncturists at all levels, I have expounded the need to move blockages to flow.
My triage work is – shock, cold and scar work . .
Then and only then – we may begin our ‘diagnosis’
A text book? Coming . . . ‘Moving Blockages (to Healing)’ was to be written in the year of my third child’s entry in 1986.
As a retired acupuncture lecturer I knew the innovative work I had mastered was the next step. But life had other plans and a master intervened. Skye arrived massively brain injured (toxoplasmotic intra uterine insult). Not expected to live. I rallied as you would expect – and here we are. Thus began a different life path for me.
C Sections? Any cuts?
An abdominal cut, there is likely nine layers that may have fused together . What you see is the skin level. What you may feel is toughness, a roughening, a change in sensitivity. All that is blocked is now creating as a secondary effect – life force flowing as designed. Shall we fix this?
Footage below is from the DVD’s (now streamed) for my manual What Dads Can Do this was my ‘cutting edge’ in 2005
What you can do at home
Working on abdominal scars
Moxa over scar CV 2, and Cv12, St 36
NOTE – only EVER use the real moxa – not the charcoal ‘smokeless’ one. It is a waste of time. Says I – the moxa queen of +40 years – tried that. We are not playing around – we are FIXING what is blocked. We need this vibrationary tool.
Working in a C scar – adhesions and comfrey and moxa work
Ideally this work is after all the sacral moxa fan on the back, the pelvic opening – now we are at the end of the session
Please do not jump straight into the scar – the birth preparation work needs to be done first. We do not go straight into this. Usually there so much is stored there. We shift what is stuck!! Besides then all the systems of flow to work so much better – we also have – her feeling so much lighter and freer. She can stand totally differently. Often sexual exchanges are a lot easier/more fun.
There is more here that you may wish to investigate if you feel keen to learn how to help yourself an others on this vital issue.
The charts of acupuncture meridians tell the tale – we are awash with circuitry. Physical facial blockages appear when blockages to flows happen – these may be in the form of energy – as in the Reichian armour rings/bands – or as the excessive connective tissue repair when traumatised – or all or anything in between.
Flows must flow!
As an organic adventure post Covid madness there are online training offerings – to anyone as we ALL must clear flows.
