'Newbie Transforming Chi Practice'
Hi Oliver,
Thanks for the welcome!
Yes, I've been following your comments on dissolving, and you've got me paying more attention to that facet of the Energy Gates. Do you incorporate NEW into your dissolving specifically? I know the NEW practice sharpens the ability to feel the energy and move it, but wonder if you have hybridized the techniques in your practice.I like Bruce Frantzis work, too.
Actually, so far I'm still just working with the spiraling, brushing, wrapping. What is transformative is that NEW is leapfrogging my ability to feel and direct the chi.What do you mean with "transformation", exactly? What part about Robert's book did you like best then? The element energy work, perhaps?
It started when I found that spiraling on the soles of my feet opened energy channels that went straight to a longtime painful knee (which I had not been able to open or move by working directly on my knee!). I looked up the area that was the "doorway" on the outside top of my foot in a reflexology book, and the spiraling movement on my foot had been practically sucked into the reflex area for the knee! Hard to explain, but the movement had a very strong "wanting to go there." That really got my attention, and the knee has been much better, changing into new stance. (And yes, I am scrupulously careful with the knee doing Frantzis swings.)
Now that I'm using the spiraling/brushing somewhere almost every day, the dissolving sensations and ability to stay present in an area is much stronger and I move almost immediately into a kind of downward energy streaming. The spiralling practice seems to have a mind of its own, "wanting" to go to particular places, and those places can ache for awhile or just start a chi flow somewhere else. The whole process is fascinating, like opening doorways, gates, chiflows that of course have always been there in potential but I lacked an effective key.
This morning the spiraling led up behind my knee, a place where, for some reason (duh!) I've never tried to go energetically. Also, by coincidence, a place where I am really stuck. (Right, coincidence. It's stuck and I never go there...) Anyway, a whole nother flow opened up, different quality, like thick emotional, and, mostly off the body! That's a first for this particular technique, but was a sensation that propelled me into a daily chi practice three years ago. I haven't found that sensation again until this morning. That chi sensation led over/through the whole back of my thigh. I'd have more to report, but I had to get up. Drat!
Two days ago, I found myself sensating the inside of my heel bone, totally different density from muscle. Can I learn to differentiate fascia, ligaments etc???? Yesterday I woke up aching from my navel to my knees, and, after wondering what on earth I did or ate that could have caused that pain, I JUST WENT INSIDE AND MOVED THE CHI! Gone-zo. This is blowing me away!
When I really get IN to the tissue, say in my foot, the muscles will start making these little twitches. It starts almost every time, after I "get connected." So you can imagine my excitement when I found trying the spiraling/brushing in a couple clients' shoulder resulted in the same kind of minute twitches in their shoulder muscles! Bull's Eye!
All of this is happening in maybe a month at most since I found the NEW tutorial online. This is so fast, and so much fun. That's what I mean by transformation. And I know I'm just skimming the very tip top of what's possible with this.
I'm going to cover the whole of my body with the spiraling, one section at a time to see what leads where, make my own body chi map. Has anyone reported on using NEW techniques to systematically clear the chi over their whole body? Spiraling/brushing/wrapping every place, one after another, as opposed to chasing the chi around as I've been doing, which is also very effective, but probalby draws different maps. I guess I'm talking about combining spiraling/brushing and dissolving, or maybe using the NEW as a dissolving tool, somewhat different from Frantzis' version, but meaning to clear and refine the chi over the whole bodyfield.
I have to find some alternative for the metal disc slicers and blow torches, images that make me wince. I like flowing water much better!
Anyway, thanks for the welcome and hope I haven't talked your ear off!
