From kkelly at wwdn.com Sun Apr 3 16:51:50 2005 From: kkelly at wwdn.com (Kaelin Kelly) Date: Sun Apr 3 17:14:36 2005 Subject: [Energy Community Report] April, 2005 Message-ID: Energy Community Report Energizing the Energy Practitioner April, 2005 In This Issue Message from the Editor Feet and Ankles Gaits Glasses Heart Neck Sleep Teeth Throat Upcoming Classes in Energy Medicine Past Issues of ECR Message from the Editor Why is it that the more we need energy work, the less likely we are to remember to do it? Stress and overwhelm both respond beautifully to a little energy balancing, but the conscripting triple warmer does when the fight-or-flight response goes into action affects more than the energy systems. It also does a job on our intention to stay in balance and our memory that we have an overflowing tool box of energy techniques. How about addressing this by beating triple warmer at its own game? Triple warmer governs habits. It works diligently to keep habits intact to ensure survival. And what would we ever do without habits? Imagine having to learn how to drive a car every time you drive, to consult a map when it's time to go home, to call your first grade teacher when you want to read the paper. The beauty of habits is that they become rote. They just kick in. So why not build a habit of energy responses to your daily challenges? Feel the stress rising? Wrap one hand across your opposite arm and hold that powerful TW point above the elbow. Fatigue building? Rub K-27 and while you're at it, tap the spleen and thymus points for a quick balancing hit to your immune system. Want to be sharp for that meeting? Do a Wayne Cook posture or just sit back in your chair, cross your ankles and wrists and breathe calmly for a couple of minutes. Head feel like mush from too much thinking? Treat yourself to a crown pull. Once you've developed a habit of energy self-care, it'll kick in regardless of what's going on in your life. And now that you realize how powerful these simple energy techniques are, isn't that your goal? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This issue of the Energy Community Report is taken from Donna Eden's workshops and all information was taught by Donna herself. Page numbers are references to her book, Energy Medicine, where you can find additional information on the topic. Feet and Ankles Wood element (liver and gall bladder) controls the form of things that go awry in the body, especially in the toes and fingers. Try holding the liver sedating points (pg. 123) for problems in these areas. If the foot pain is on a meridian, hold the sedating points for that meridian (pp. 120 - 123). If it isn't, clear the gaits (described below). Many people have pain on the inside ankle bone. This is the kidney meridian path. Massage the painful area. You may want to do additional work on kidney meridian, such as flushing it (pp. 117, 104), holding the neurovasculars (pg. 274), holding kidney sedating points (pg. 121), and/or working on kidney neurolymphatics (pg. 84). A good kidney neurolymphatic to work on is located on the front of each shoulder, just inside the bone at the arm seam, not far below the turn of the shoulder. Massage deeply. Gaits The Gaits are about your coordination in walking. When they are off, the energy has backed up and doesn't move off your feet. You become clumsy on your feet and can have hip problems. Clearing the gaits removes toxins from your body and allows the energy to flow again. It's a good exercise to do daily. When the gaits are off, energy tends to collect in the reflexes on the top of the feet and the side of the big toe. Procedure: Massage the tendons on the front of the foot, between the bones and on the side next to the big toe. They tend to hurt if your gaits are off, but reach the point while massaging where they no longer hurt. When the gait on the outside of the big toe is off, it clogs spleen meridian which is about your everyday vitality, affecting your energy. When energy builds up in the gaits, they become painful. If it hurts too much to massage them, tap on them. Finish by doing the Bladder/Spleen Booster: Bladder meridian runs outside the foot and spleen meridian runs inside the foot. To give them a boost, put a hand on top of each foot and squeeze the sides, repeating all the way down the length of the foot. This is a great maintenance for bladder and spleen. Massage your own gaits daily to keep them clear. It hurts when someone else clears them. Coordination can be off on a child who has just had a growing spurt. Work the gaits. Glasses Put your finger on the nose bridge of the glasses (where they cross your centerline) and muscle test. If you test weak, be aware of that ongoing drain on your energy and cross crawl frequently to compensate. If it's really draining you, you can hold your hand away from the face, anywhere near the eyes, and it will still test weak. Stomach and kidney meridians are both affected, as they are being taxed whenever you wear these glasses. If you park your glasses on top of your head, touch the nose bridge of your glasses while they're on your head and test. If weak, find another place to park them as this closes off your crown chakra. You also don't get all the inspiration you could get. Metal glass frames are more likely to be a problem but won't be problematic for everyone. They may actually help those who have a lot of metal element but may throw the energies off for everyone else. Heart Exercise: Heart sends blood to all parts of the body, so holding the heart neurovasculars is very powerful. To strengthen all meridians, put one palm over the heart and the other palm over the main neurovasculars on the forehead with fingers on the baby soft spot on the top, center of the head. This is the heart neurovascular. This exercise makes everything start flowing, as it gets the blood moving everywhere. It is a good exercise to do with someone if you don't know how to help them. You can also do it on yourself. Exercise: Put hand over opposite arm and push fingers into the arm while moving down the heart meridian (pg. 102), which runs down the arm in line with the baby finger. If you find painful points, massage them until the pain dissipates. Exercise: Cup fingers of both hands inside each other in front of the chest, with elbows bent out to the side. Pull arms apart as you move them further out in front of you, so one hand is really pulling on the other. Notice where you feel this. You will feel it in different places in your body at different times. If feel it on the back of your shoulder, it is not only affecting the heart but also central meridian which is also a strange flow. When it hits a strange flow, it's going to go all over your body, not just to the specific organ or meridian. Whenever you do an exercise or movement and feel it in that area, the effect is going everywhere. Massaging the central neurolymphatics up and down the torso at the arm seam also activates the strange flows. For heart arrhythmia: cough. The heart constricts for a moment and then frees up. Exercise: Expel the Venom (pg. 219) is a great exercise for the heart. If your heart is off at all or to help it get into a better rhythm, do the following variation of the Cross Crawl. It is a great exercise if you're homolateral. Exercise: Reach your arms straight out sideways from your shoulders, then bend at the elbows and drop your hands straight down like a scarecrow. As you lift each leg, move the opposite hand forward and up, keeping your elbows stationary. Then do figure 8s from that posture. This is very good for the heart. Makes the energy go right through the heart and helps it start balancing out. It is also good for the lungs and all energy that moves through your chest. It opens the diaphragm. Notice how this exercise is one that would be automatic in the work of an orchestra conductor. And sometimes they do figure 8s while conducting. Interestingly, they generally live to a ripe old age. Exercise: Place your fingers at the centerline above the breasts and rake across your chest a few times. Move your hands down your sides to the hips, back up, and down again. Cross over to the inside of the leg, down the leg, and off the big toe. Finish by tracing spleen meridian (pg. 102) 3 times. Spleen feeds the heart (see Meridian Flow Wheel, pg. 126). The heart can't do all of its jobs if there's nothing going on in spleen. If you're working on heart meridian and it's not getting strong, look to spleen. Donna thinks many heart attacks are not because of the heart but because spleen is so weak. If you look at the meridian flow wheel (pg. 126), you'll see that the spleen time comes right before heart time and therefore feeds energy to the heart. If spleen doesn't have any energy, it can't feed heart so the heart gets into trouble. Whenever there's a heart condition, strengthen spleen and keep it strong. Exercise: Inhale. As you exhale, imagine you are exhaling through your heart. This uses the mind along with the heart to move the energy. A person who tested weak on the heart meridian tested strong after doing this visualization. This is a good exercise to do when you feel heavy hearted. Neck To help with neck problems: a.. Hold the neurovasculars point that is on the jaw bone, under the jaw joint, level with the mouth. b.. Sedate stomach meridian (pg. 120). All of the neck muscles in the front and some in the back are governed by stomach meridian. Exercise to move the energy in a tight neck or tight shoulders a.. Straighten your arms and make a fist. b.. Keeping your arms straight, lift your shoulders up towards your ears. c.. Rock your head to one side, across the back, and to the other side, on your lifted shoulders d.. Repeat 2 or 3 times, then drop your shoulders. Don't do it too long at first. After a while you can do it longer. It moves energy very quickly. If you feel soreness while doing it, you really need it. This exercise starts to change a habit of holding in this whole area. It helps people who have to have a lot of adjustments between C7 and T1. The vertebrae start learning to stay in place. Neck exercise: Do orthobionomy on the neck. With your partner lying supine on the table, put your finger on the area that hurts. Lift the head with your other hand and tilt it backward so the chin is extended upwards, then turn the head so the neck curves around the place where you're holding the pain. Now you can press the pain area harder but it doesn't feel like you're pushing at all. This starts to disperse energy that gets caught in the body. Hold it until the pain goes away. The objective of orthobionomy is to take the pressure off of the area. It can really release something that's trapped. Neck pain can have an emotional component: The following table shows the meridian pathways across the neck and the emotions related to each. If someone often has a sore neck, sometimes emotions will come up as you deal with the meridians that go through that area of the neck. When working on the neck, note which meridian is involved as well as the emotion associated with it. The meridians are listed in the order in which they occur on the neck, beginning with governing at the spine and moving clockwise to central at the center line. All meridians except central and governing are bilateral. Governing courage Bladder fear, doubt hope Gall Bladder anger, both expressing and suppressed Triple Warmer overwhelm, panic Small Intestine choices, loss of joy Large Intestine grief, letting go Stomach worry, trusting the universe Central centered, confidence Sleep Calm TW by smoothing behind the ears (pg. 235) and hanging on the shoulders. Repeat a number of times. Turn your hand over so the palm is up and move the topside of your fingernails very gently down the inside of the opposite arm, from elbow to wrist. Used frequently in South America to get to sleep. Very calming. Great for kids. To slow the mind, do Separating Heaven & Earth (pg. 248). Inositol (B vitamin derivative) can help quiet the mind. Muscle test to see if it agrees with you. Do the hook up (pg. 119). This exercise also helps get you going in the morning. Hold the neurovasculars on the forehead and on the back of the head (pg. 274). Also great for kids. Crown Pull (pg. 77) and Take Down the Flame (pg. 220) are great exercises to facilitate sleep. Teeth Toothache: Look at the tooth chart on page 287 to determine which meridian the painful tooth is one. Sedate the meridian for that tooth (pp. 120 - 123). A cavity can be eliminated by working with the meridian for that tooth. If you have teeth or mouth issues and can't get them to heal, work with the Penetrating Flow, which is one of the strange flows. Put the sides of your hands in your groin and hold. Sometimes just holding that area for three minutes will help the energy come up to the mouth and teeth. You want the energy to move through there. If you're having problems keeping a meridian strong and you have metal fillings, look at the tooth chart to determine which meridian the teeth are on that have metal in them. Problems in that meridian may be caused by the metal. Throat Triple warmer and spleen govern the throat. Triple warmer neurovasculars are at the notch at the bottom of the throat. Hold there gently. This affects the throat. Some people's energy really breaks between the throat and the neck. The following exercise is good for that. It is also good for neck problems or when you know the energies aren't flowing in that area. Opens the space if you're caught in your heart or in your throat channel. You can do this to yourself. Test: put a finger on the throat, just above the clavicle. Test. Move all along that area and test each place that you touch. Correct if any test weak. Correction. Put finger on the same starting point and have partner slowly turn her head to the opposite side. Hold. Don't press too deeply, although it may feel deep to her. Have her bring her head back to center, then move to the next point and repeat. There are 7 chambers in the throat and each one connects to one of the chakras, so working on the throat affects all the chakras. Upcoming Classes in Energy Medicine THE CONFERENCE WORKS! is sponsoring David and Donna in 6 cities in 2005. Coming up are Portland, OR (May 20 - 22), Houston (June 24 - 26), St. Louis (Sept. 30 - Oct 2), Irvine, CA (Nov 11 - 13), and Cap Cod (Dec 2 - 4).

It's either flowing or it's blocked. It's in balance or it's imbalanced. Balance is the goal. So when we identify an imbalance, we dip into our energy toolbox for a technique or exercise to bring the energy back to balance. I roomed with a woman at a Donna Eden conference who helped me see how simple and natural this process can be. She has been dealing with multiple physical issues for many years. When she experienced how Donna's energy techniques offered her the relief she'd long been seeking, she built into her daily life an ongoing pattern of self testing and correction. Throughout each day, when she feels out of balance, she touches places on her body that might be in imbalance such as K-27, ileocecal valve, or a meridian's neurolymphatic point, and then does a muscle test. When something tests weak, she corrects it on the spot. A quick retest tells her whether she needs to do more. I watched, fascinated, as she moved all over her body, testing and correcting, until everything tested strong. It was a graceful dance. Within minutes, the process was completed and she was ready - and able - to move on with her day. "Energy has given me back my life" she said. By using energy techniques on a regular basis, she is reversing deeply entrenched patterns and teaching her energy new ways to be. The lesson I learned has really stuck with me. Before watching her process, I thought of energy balancing as part of my morning check off list: Brushed teeth? Fed the dog? Done my energy exercises? Seeing her in action made me see how limiting this was. It's wonderful to do a daily balancing, but what about the rest of the day? My energy is always communicating with me. Why listen only once a day? The muscle test she used for testing is the quadriceps, the major muscle on the front upper leg. It is perfect for self-testing because it can be tested with one hand, leaving the other hand free to touch parts of the body or to hold the food, vitamins, or medication that you want to test. If you'd like to increase your skill in self-testing and want more information on how to use the quadriceps muscle, write to me at EnergyCommunityReport@wwdn.com . I'll be happy to send you instructions. This issue of the Energy Community Report completes the topic that was started in the last issue - energy techniques for working with meridians. All of the material on meridians was taught by Donna Eden. Energy Techniques for Working with Meridians - Part 2 All page numbers are references to Energy Medicine by Donna Eden. Lung meridian (LU) Some medications are 400X more powerful when taken during lung meridian time (3AM - 5AM). This is the time when lungs are at their strength, so they are moving oxygen all throughout the body. Lungs are at their nadir between 3PM and 5PM. This is when many cultures have their siestas. It is also the worst time of the day to absorb new information. Exercise: To open the lungs, interlace your fingers behind your back, turn your palms outward and stretch. This exercise strengthens the heart chakra as well. Exercise: Flushing lung meridian (pp. 117, 107) moves a lot of toxins out. Exercise: To strengthen and open up the lungs, begin as if doing the zip up (pg. 82). When you get above the breasts, rake your fingers across your chest towards your arms. Repeat. Exercise: Take a deep breath and hold it. Keep track of how long you can hold it. Now massage up and down the sternum. Hold your breath again and see how much longer you're able to hold it. Massaging the sternum gives you breath. If the sternum is sore, you're not using your full breath and the results of this exercise will be more dramatic. The Olympic Team does this exercise to improve their breathing. Exercise: Kidneys and lungs work well together to help move energy out. This simple exercise opens up the lungs and hooks up your heart and kidneys. 1. Put your palms flat on your back, over your kidneys. 2. Inhale, pull your bent arms back as far as you can, look upward, and hold your breath. 3. When you exhale, release it all. Large Intestine meridian (LI) Exercise: sedate large intestine (pg. 123) for low back pain. This relaxes that area. Exercise: Large intestine and lung sit on the same element (metal) (pg. 210) and things will often show up on large intestine if you're getting a cold. Push on the outside of your thighs from hip to knee and see if it hurts. If so, massage the large intestine neurolymphatics (pg. 85). Exercise: Work with large intestine and circulation sex meridians for hip problems. If there's hip pain, hold the sedating points for these meridians. Gall Bladder meridian (GB) The emotion of gall bladder is anger. It can also be seething energy inside when there isn't enough assertion. Exercise: The Wood element (gall bladder, liver) has to do with standing firm, taking your place in life. The following exercise is a takeoff on Expel the Venom (pg. 219). It deals specifically with these emotions, which are imbalances in Wood element: 1. Stand tall. Turn your palms face up and make fists with both hands. 2. While inhaling deeply, s-l-o-w-l-y move your fists out in front of you and up to the level of your face as you s-l-o-w-l-y bend your knees and then stand up. 3. While exhaling deeply, follow the same path with your arms to slowly bring your fists to your waist, with the elbows bent and straight back, while you bend your knees and then stand up. 4. Repeat twice. 5. Flatten your hands on your sides and move them down your legs. When your arms are straight, massage deeply the gall bladder neurolymphatics points which are roughly under the middle finger of each hand. This really helps the energy learn how to be more assertive and balances anger. Repeat this exercise regularly and these emotions will shift in you. TMJ issues are usually gall bladder. One-sided headaches are gall bladder. Exercise: Migraines are usually on gall bladder meridian. When dealing with a migraine, hold the main neurovasculars on the forehead (pg. 217) and, at the same time, the gall bladder neurovasculars at the baby soft spot on the top of the head. Liver meridian (LV) directs the blood and energy in the body. You can "direct" liver with your mind, with intention. Work with liver when there are issues around being hard on yourself and stuffing your anger. Lemon is fabulous for wood element (liver and gall bladder), especially if the liver is off. It will literally squeeze the liver and help it detoxify. Raspberry is good for the liver too. Exercise: Liver meridian is constantly dealing with toxins. One of the ways to help clear them is to clear the liver line on the foot (pg. 107). Push in on the area of the foot between the first and second toes. Is it sensitive? Massage up and down that line as well as on the inside edge of the big toe. Exercise to strengthen liver: 1. Sit on the floor or on a healing table with your legs on the table. Bend your knees and put your feet flat on the floor or table. 2. Imagine a rush of energy coming up your body from your big toes to below your breasts, circling down. Repeat the cycle again. This is the pathway of liver meridian. Imagine this occurring in the general area; you don't have to stay within the liver meridian line as liver jumps the walls of the meridian. Repeat a couple of times. 3. Now lie back, straighten your legs, and imagine the cycle a couple more times. You can get the benefit of this exercise by just imagining the rush of pulling the energy up, like a river moving up through your body and then down again. Donna demoed how this exercise affected the magnetics of the acupuncture points, i.e. this resolved frozen acupuncture points. These are points that test strong on both sides of a magnet because they have lost their polarity. After this exercise, the points got their polarity back without having to treat each point individually with a magnet. Triple Warmer meridian (TW) is probably the first energy that kept us alive as a species as it's the fight-or-flight response. It networks every energy in the body, except heart energy. If it senses you're in danger, it sucks energy from everywhere except the heart. It's as if an army gets conscripted and the energies can't keep their old job. They have to come and fight. We live in a world where that's generally not what it's about anymore, but triple warmer thinks it is because it was programmed millions of years ago. The triple warmer response is a very expensive response in terms of your body's resources. It not only takes a lot of resources, it also puts a lot of chemicals into your body that have to be burned off. If you don't complete the impulse to fight or flee, they don't get burned off and they are like poison to your body. Exercise: Other meridians that tested weak will often test strong just by sedating triple warmer (pg. 236), as sedating takes that excess energy out of triple warmer and the energy can then balance out. Exercise: If you have chronic stress or otherwise know that your fight or flight response is often engaged, smooth behind the ears (pg. 235), hold the triple warmer sedating points (pg. 236) and/or trace the triple warmer meridian backwards frequently (pg. 105). You can never hurt yourself by doing this. If you don't need it, nothing happens. If you do need it, the results can be amazing. Each of these removes excess energy from triple warmer, helping to calm its vigilance so it will work better for you. Exercise: Rub the mastoid bone all along the triple warmer meridian line behind the ear in either direction. You might notice tenderness there. It's rare for triple warmer to test weak. When it does, you want to get it turned back on. Triple warmer is on the fire element and the weakness indicates the fire is going out. The following exercise balances either a weak or an overactive triple warmer. It helps all 4 fire meridians (triple warmer, circulation sex, small intestine, and heart) work together. It is a good exercise to do for heartache and confusion. Exercise: Fire Element Balancer 1. Put one hand over either the thymus gland (pg. 51) or your heart, whichever feels better. 2. Put your other hand straight out to the side, elbow relaxed, palm facing forward. 3. Take a deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. 4. Now use your mind to follow the heart meridian line (pg. 102) from its starting point on your torso, down your arm and off the baby finger. Let any sadness, torment, confusion or worry go down the arm and off the little finger. 5. Repeat on the other side. Circulation Sex meridian (CS) is the pericardium of the heart. Heart is the only organ in the body that doesn't have to protect itself. The main job of circulation sex is to protect the heart. It is also governs the hormones and circulation. Exercise: Holding the circulation sex sedating points (pg. 122) is generally good for the body. It relaxes tension in the circulation. It's good for hormones. It relaxes the root chakra and makes space in it, allowing energy to rise. Exercise: Put your hands on your waist with your thumbs in front and fingers in back. Drop your fingers to the upper butt and massage. These are circulation sex neurolymphatics points. If they are sore, sedate circulation sex (pg. 122) and rub the outer edges of the pubic bone, which are also circulation sex neurolymphatic points. This relaxes the pericardium which is good for the heart. After doing this, rub the sore neurolymphatics points again. The soreness should be gone. Exercise: Put your middle finger in the area right behind the nipple. If there's tenderness, massage deeply to clear. You may need to do this a number of times. These are circulation sex neurolymphatic points that gather toxins and keeping them clear is a great step towards breast health. It is good for breast cancer prevention and is important for men as well as women. It also helps the heart. Small Intestine (SI) meridian's job is to absorb. It decides whether it is going to keep what's being digested or get rid of it. At its best, it discerns quickly. If you're having problems with small intestine, you may not be able to discern quickly. Exercise: If your digestive tract is sluggish, work on small intestine neurolymphatics (pg. 84) on the inside of the thighs and all along the bottom of the rib cage. This helps bowels move. Exercise: Work on both small intestine and stomach meridians to get the whole digestive system moving. Hip problems can be caused by weak lower abdominals. Back problems can be caused by weak upper abdominals. Exercise: Work on small intestine for abdominals. Also, the Crown Pull (pg. 77) helps abdominals. Exercise: Work on small intestine for any knee problem or weak legs above the knees. Then hold the gall bladder neurovasculars behind the knee (pg. 274). Heart meridian See the April, 2005 issue of the Energy Community Report at www.energymed.org for heart and heart meridian exercises. Exercise to strengthen spleen, liver and especially heart: 1. Bend one elbow in front of your body. 2. Cross your other arm under it and place the bent elbow in the bend of the other elbow so both hands are pointing up. 3. Use the outer elbow to pull the inner one towards your body, so it moves toward the opposite shoulder. 4. Hold. 5. Reverse. Exercise to strengthen lung, heart, and spleen meridians: 1. Cross your arms and put your fingers under the opposite armpit with thumbs on the chest above the armpit. 2. Take a few deep breaths while holding that posture. This crosses your energies over the thymus gland. Your thumbs are on lung meridian. Your fingers are sitting on spleen and also touch heart. This is great for the energy of your chest cavity - your breasts, your heart, your chest. Seeking Participants to Test New Energy Website The Energy Community Report will soon unveil a new interactive website called the Energy Collaborative. Similar to this newsletter, the site will include energy topics of interest to our community.

Do you have a story that you would like to contribute? Whether you're new to exploring the impact of energy on your wellness, a seasoned practitioner, or anywhere in between, you have likely had interesting experiences that have spurred you to continue. Some of these are stories of major shifts but many are incidents of an eye-opening reaction to a simple energy technique. Any experience where your knowledge and understanding grew is perfect. Write up your story in 2 - 4 paragraphs and send it to me at EnergyCommunityReport@wwdn.com by November 6. It's time to celebrate the power of this work.
