Part One:
The Resonance Balancing Meditation
The Basic Secret
The
Resonance Balancing Meditation is the basic secret for generating a
powerful healing energy.
While
you are doing this meditation, your bio‑energy field will assume
frequencies that have demonstrated strong healing properties. While
you are breathing in the rhythm of this meditation, the bio-energy
flowing from your hands will catalyze the natural healing process in
those whom you touch. In the next few paragraphs, we will describe the
meditation itself. This will be a kind of initiation into the
meditation. Part two will describe how to maximize the therapeutic
effect of your touch
Once
you’ve gone carefully through Parts One and Two, we will tell you how to
use it to treat various conditions.
The
Resonance Balancing Meditation dates back at least 5000 years. It has
been used by mystics in Tibet, India, Persia, and indeed all over the
world. Although the primary purpose of the meditation is usually to
increase inner awareness and balance of life energy, it also creates a
specific healing energy flowing through the hands.
Before You Begin For
The First Time
Normally
it is best to create the appropriate atmosphere and environment for
meditation. But, since you'll be reading the computer, you may be
sitting in your usual computer chair. Or print out this page, and take
it to a more quiet, comfortable space. The process, the first time,
should take about twenty minutes.
-
Ask
others in the house to leave you alone.
-
If you have an answering machine for your telephone,
turn off the ringer and turn down the volume of the machine.
-
Close the door of the room so that no one will enter.
-
Sit comfortably.
Warm Up To Learning
The Meditation – Step One
Take a
deep breath, and let it out like a sigh. Effortlessly allow it to be
like a sigh of relief. Take another deep breath, filling your belly and
your chest. Allow the breath to go deep into the belly and then to fill
the chest. When the breath is full, again let it out like a sigh. Do
this four more times, with the emphasis on a full in‑breath, yet without
forcing it, and on an effortless out‑breath. Now, for about five
minutes, practice taking deep, full breaths, without forcing. Simply be
aware of your exhale, without trying to control it.
Warm Up To Learning
The Meditation – Step Two
Take a
full, deep in‑breath, and then make a very long, drawn‑out humming
sound. Normally, a full in‑breath will take 3 seconds, and the humming
can last 12 to 30 seconds. The humming can be aloud or silent,
depending upon where you are doing this – out loud is preferable. The
longer you draw out the hum, the better. Do this humming for five to
fifteen minutes, preferably with eyes closed. Be aware of sensations
that may be occurring in the body.
The
warm-up described is for the learning process. Once you feel that you
are able to do the meditation as described below, you don’t need to do
the warm-up.
Instructions For
The Resonance Balancing Meditation
Continue to
breathe in the same rhythm of the hum (deep, fast in‑breath, very long,
drawn out out‑breath), but now don’t make any sound. Take deep breaths,
filling the belly and the chest. The in-breaths should take about three
seconds. Let the breath out in the same slow rhythm of the hum. The
out-breaths should last 12 to 30 seconds. It might feel like letting
the air slowly out of a balloon. Do this for ten to twenty minutes. Do
the last five minutes with eyes open.
It’s The Rhythm That
Matters
Breathe
in through either the mouth or the nose. Same for the out‑breath. It
seems to be the rhythm that matters, not where the air goes in or out.
If you breathe out through the mouth, you might try to purse your lips,
so that the lips provide a resistance to the air going out. Do whatever
feels the easiest and the most comfortable.
This Is an Inner
Discipline
Whereas
we are not normally aware of our breathing, you will be very aware of
this breath. In this way, it can be considered an inner discipline.
Most people will be able to discipline their breathing in this way, for
the short periods necessary (one hour or less at a time). You should
practice it for at least a half hour per day. If it is possible to
practice it in the quiet, isolated, meditative environment, this will be
ideal. It is possible, however, to do it at any time. You can even do
it driving, although obviously, keep your eyes open!
For Almost Everyone,
It Becomes Easy
For many
people, at the beginning the Resonance Balancing Meditation is
uncomfortable. With practice, in a short time (a few hours, perhaps
spread out over several days) it becomes natural and easy. Because
breathing happens using muscles (the diaphragm and the intercostal
muscles between the ribs), breathing in a new way is using muscles in a
new way. Any time we use muscles in a new way, it takes a short time
for the muscles to adjust.
For very
few people, however, even with practice, it doesn’t become comfortable.
They don’t like it, simply enough. Such people seem to be a very small
minority. So far, in seven years, having taught hundreds and hundreds
of people, only two people have said they simply can’t do it.
If you
have done both steps of the warm up, and you’ve tried the meditation
over a period of several days, and simply find it abhorrent, then I
would like to thank you for trying it, and hope that you are able to
glean something else appropriate to you in this little manual and the
video.
Don’t
continue if you feel strongly it is not right for you.
The Meditation May
Be Easier While You Are Healing
For many
people, it is easier to do the meditation while you are applying the
Resonance Balancing energy to another person. If you find it difficult
to do it just sitting by yourself, try doing it while you touch another
person. You can even try it while working on an animal like a dog or a
cat.
It Is A Powerful
Meditation
While
you are doing the Resonance Balancing Meditation, you might find that
sensations are triggered in your body that you would describe as “flows
of energy.” You might not. Simply be aware of your experience of your
body.
No
matter what you subjectively experience, you can be certain that the
meditation is having the desired effect on your bio‑energy, that healing
energy is flowing through your hands.
You may
find yourself become very relaxed and peaceful as you do the Resonance
Balancing Meditation. It is a powerful meditation to do on a daily
basis for fifteen minutes to an hour a day, simply sitting alone,
quietly, eyes closed. Relax into the experience created by the
meditation, without expectation. It can be done eyes open, while
driving down the highway, while watching television – whenever. This is
not a type of meditation where you become dissociated from your physical
body. Rather, it creates a state of relaxed alertness, which reflects
an integration of the bodymind.
From
this base of an integrated bodymind, you can have deep access of
dimensions of your sub‑conscious and your super‑conscious mind. Your
intuition is enhanced.
Part Two:
Therapeutic Use Of The Resonance Balancing Meditation
General Principles
The Treatment Space
Ideally,
it is best to have a separate space for doing your therapy. If you are
a professional, you will have your office treatment space. If you are
not a professional, you might want to have a separate space in your
home, in a room or a part of a room which you use only for this purpose.
Although a separate space is ideal, it is not necessary. Successful
applications of bio-energy therapy can take place almost anywhere.
It is
probably easiest to do treatments on a massage table, so that you can be
physically most comfortable. Treatments can be given on the floor or on
a bed. Sometimes, treatments can be given to the recipient or "healee"
in a chair.
The
therapeutic bio-energy will pass through clothes, so treatments can
usually be given to healees with their clothes on. It is best given
through light clothing. It the healee is wearing a sweater or heavy
pants, and you need to work on those covered areas, it is best to ask
him/her to remove them. If asking the healee to remove these articles of
clothing is awkward or inappropriate, the energy can be successfully
applied through the clothing.
The Healing Touch
While
you are doing the Resonance Balancing Meditation, your bio‑energy will
be flowing at the right frequencies and strengths for therapeutic
applications. During treatments, you should practice the Resonance
Balancing Meditation continuously. In general, it is advised to be
quiet during the passing of the therapeutic energy – don’t talk while
healing. Of course, if you need to talk briefly, for asking questions,
you may need to stop the meditation. However, return to it once you've
finished your question.
It is best to
pass the therapeutic energy to another person through your hands. The
energy flows two ways through your hands ‑‑ out your fingertips and out
your palms. There are times you will want to touch the healee with your
fingertips, and other times you will want to touch with your palms.
When
using your fingertips, it is best to use the first three fingers. The
reason is that the nerve serving the first three fingers (called the
radial nerve) is larger than the nerve serving the last two fingers (the
ulnar nerve). Thus, more bio‑energy flows through the first three
fingers.
It is
possible to send the therapeutic energy to another person through your
mind or your being, but we'll talk about that later.
The Body Will Tell
You Where To Touch
Normally, in a completely healthy person, you can push as deeply as you
want on any part of the body (with a few delicate exceptions), and no
pain will be felt. In people who are experiencing pain, however, if you
palpate (gently poke around), you will find that areas around the pain
are quite tender to the touch.
There
are points which, if you gently press, the healee will report as painful
(sometimes with a flinch or a start). Nearby areas will not be nearly
so tender. Often times, these are points on the acupuncture meridian
maps, place which are out of balance. If an acupuncturist was treating,
needles might be placed at such points. In some systems, these painful
points are called "trigger points."
When you
apply the Resonance Balancing energy to these tender areas, you will
notice that (usually) within minutes the points become less painful to
the touch, and within a short time, all negative sensations will be
gone.
When
these points cease to be tender to the touch, you can be sure that the
body's natural healing process has been activated. In most cases, pain
in the area will disappear, if not at the end of your treatment (which
can be fifteen minutes to an hour long), then within the next few days.
In the case of severe injury or long standing pain, it may take a series
of treatments for the pain to totally disappear. However, even with
severe or long standing pain, one treatment will sometimes suffice to
trigger a complete healing.
Hint:
In many cases, at first, a point will be tender near the surface.
Sometimes, a light surface touch will cause the recipient to flinch. As
you apply the energy, the tenderness will decrease. As you test the
point, you will naturally be able to press deeper before pain is
stimulated. Sometimes, the healee doesn't realize that you pressed
deeper, or that this time he/she didn't flinch. You will have to remind
him/her of this, that the point is improving. I like to test points
frequently, as a way of keeping the healee involved in the process, and
as a way of monitoring what is happening.
Hint:
There are basically three patterns to the decrease of point tenderness.
Often, the pain will decrease gradually and steadily. In this case, if
it takes six minutes for the point to be pain free, after three minutes
it will be half as painful as it was at first.
Sometimes, the pain will decrease slowly, then suddenly it will drop off
quickly. In this case, if the pain takes six minutes to go away, it
will be half as painful after four or five minutes.
Occasionally, the pain will drop off quickly, but getting the last bit
to go is difficult. In this case, it is not necessary to wait until all
the pain is gone. If approximately eighty percent of the pain is gone,
it is usually good enough to move on.
If there
is still more than twenty percent of the pain left, I have found that
the probability of the pain returning is high. So I'll keep at it until
more has cleared out.
Hint:
When you have been working on a person for a while, the energy has
already started moving throughout the entire body. Then, it becomes
easier to treat points and areas. If a point took six minutes at the
beginning, an equivalently painful point would only take three minutes
later on in the treatment.
Hint:
Use both hands. If an area is hurting, you will be able to find trigger
points for both hands.
Let Your Fingers
Do The Walking
Although
pain may be centered in one location, areas related to that location may
be involved in the pain. We'll discuss this later. However, this
general principle will be usable again and again. If you let your
fingers "walk" over the body, you will come across trigger points which
require application of Resonance Balancing.
As
already mentioned, these areas of tenderness may be acupuncture points
where the flow of bio‑energy is blocked, and the blocked area is tender.
Resonance Balancing will stimulate the flow of energy through these
blocked points. This stimulation contributes to the over‑all relaxation
effect, and to the decrease of pain and illness in areas supplied by the
acupuncture meridian.
If you
practice Resonance Balancing, you will become familiar with the major
points of energy blockage, for nearly everyone will be blocked in the
same places.
Pain Will Move
It
sometimes happens that pain or other sensations will move as you apply
the Resonance Balancing energy. It will usually move up or down the
energy meridians. When this happens, simply put one hand on the area
where the pain has moved, while leaving the other hand where the pain
began. If the point where the pain started is no longer tender to the
touch, then you can move that hand also.
It is
sometimes necessary to chase the pain throughout the body, until it is
cornered and completely removed.
Pain May Intensify
Pain
will sometimes intensify while you are touching the healee. This is
especially true after an injury or in the case of chronic or recurring
pain. It is a usually positive sign that healing is taking place.
Most
often, the intensification of pain during treatment will last only a few
minutes before it dissipates. Usually it is not severe. Occasionally
the pain will be so severe that the healee has difficulty tolerating it,
even for a short period. In all cases, he/she should be reassured that
within a few minutes, the pain will disappear. This type of pain almost
never lasts for more than a half hour. The cause of this
intensification is unknown, although it may be related to the
reintegration of the "bio‑energy body" to the local tissues.
The Energy Will
"Cook"
After a
treatment, the energy will "cook" for several hours or days, and the
healing process will continue. In fact, it is common that more healing
takes place after the end of the treatment than during the treatment.
It is typical that while the patient feels better at the end of an hour,
he/she continues to improve afterwards. Pain, stress, and other
symptoms continue to melt and evaporate long after the end of the
treatment.
On the
average, one third of the improvement occurs during the treatment, two
thirds occurs afterwards, although there can be wide variation.
Pain May Arise
Afterward
In
acupuncture and homeopathy, it is common that in the 24 hours following
a treatment, symptoms can be accentuated before they improve. This is
considered a good sign ‑‑ normal.
With
Resonance Balancing, as mentioned above, it is not uncommon for pain to
accentuate during treatment, but it is rare for symptoms to increase
afterwards. It does, however, happen from time to time. It is not
something to be alarmed about. Again, reassure the healee at the end of
the treatment that it might happen, and that it is part of the healing
process.
Results Are Usually
Cumulative
The
results of successive treatments are usually cumulative, so even if
results from the first treatment are minimal or short-lived, repeated
treatments may have a significant lasting effect.
It is
best to try at least three to five treatments before you conclude that
the therapy is not working in any individual. Sometimes, results are
not seen until nearly ten treatments.
Sometime It Works,
Sometimes Not
If you
apply Resonance Balancing to one hundred people, you will find that in
many cases you will get dramatic results, while in other cases, results
will be temporary or less than dramatic.
It is
true that two people can come in with what appear to be identical
conditions, and one person will respond dramatically while the other
does not appear to obtain lasting significant improvement. When this
happens, all you can do is shrug your shoulders and be grateful for the
good results which do happen.
It is
never appropriate to blame failure of Resonance Balancing therapy on the
healee, even if it is an unconscious block on their part which
complicated treatment! One can never know for sure the actual reason
why treatment doesn't produce the desired results. It sometimes happens
that failure is due to complicating social or psychological factors, but
it is impossible to know for sure when this is the reason.
There
can be many other factors which prevent successful bio-energy therapy.
In some cases, exploration of dietary or allergic considerations will
lead to improvement of the condition. Other times toxicity (from one or
more of too many ubiquitous toxins) can be the cause of the problem.
Remember, if their doctor could have cured the person, they probably
wouldn't have needed you in the first place! |
