ONE TO ONE REMOTE TASTER SESSIONS

I thought it would be good to offer taster sessions for my remote craniosacral energy treatments so that people can feel whether they have a good response before paying for a whole session (£60 at 29th June 2026) So I'm offering 10 minute sessions for £20, with discussion by messaging, email or phone as needed before and after.

WHO MIGHT BENEFIT FROM REMOTE TREATMENT?

I never know exactly who'll benefit but it's more likely to be helpful if you've got on well with subtler work like Craniosacral Therapy, Meditation, Reiki, Chi Kung/Qi Gong or Acupuncture helpful in the past.

WHAT CONDITIONS CAN IT HELP?

It's really more about the whole person, physical and energetic than particular conditions as such. There may be some restriction that has been overlooked beneath all the symptoms anyone is experiencing. More information HERE.

The spiral patterns of our life force energy

One aspect of our remote group healing energy sessions I really like is the opportunity to explore different aspects of energy work. I'd set up the focus for our last session as balance:

BALANCE - LEFT RIGHT
I'd been thinking that the left/right channels would be laid out in a linear kind of way, a bit like the central channel. What I felt in the session was something a bit different, that all the channels can be looked at in this way but it's only one aspect of them, a 3 dimensional view. When perceived within a deeper, enfolded dimension they appear as super-imposed, concentric circles with energy flowing between them in multi-spiraling patterns. In this model there's no left/right, up/down or linearity as everything is enfolded within everything else. It felt like connecting with the flow of a fundamental life force pattern.
So that'll be our starting point for our next session...

Getting Ready For Change

What's around the corner for the world? How do we best get ready for whatever shit is about to hit the fan?

VULNERABLE - THINK GLOBAL

The more we rely on the industrial, commercial world to supply our needs, the more vulnerable we are to its inevitable, (already happening), collapse. If you have to buying something from a source outside your local community that makes you vulnerable to disconnection from that source. So we in the industrial world, including myself, are mostly buying in food, energy, goods, healthcare, entertainment and more, and are reliant on a whole network of transport of physical goods, energy, and information. How could the whole voracious planet gobbling machine keep on going indefinitely? It's surely not difficult to imagine the whole thing falling apart, as easily as those internet cables have been severed...

GETTING READY - THE FUTURE'S LOCAL

Think of those things you buy, start growing some food, use much less energy. Every time you buy something think, do I really need it? Could I make it? Repair one? Grow it? Learn simple hand tool skills, design things to be made locally from local materials, learn about food preserving, make friends and get together to manage a plot of land for food, medicinal herbs and materials.

DON'T BE DISTRACTED...

It's easy to fixate on all these hideous monsters in positions of power, but when one of these ghastly, corrupt sacks of orange shit dies off or is deposed there'll be another one, probably even worse, who's probably been guiding things all along, waiting in the wings to take over. Sensible progress from the industrial way isn't going to be led top down, it's up to individuals, you and me to make the changes in our own lives that we would like to see. What is a government anyway but a collection of individuals?

See you all in the ether :-)

SPHENOID REBALANCING

SPHENOID REMOTE GROUP SESSION THURSDAY 1st FEB 2024

In our last remote group session I focused into the sphenoid area, also into the occiput and the sacrum, and felt something I've not really felt before, it seemed to be a continuous exchange of subtle energy and information as part of our energetic and physical bodies' rebalancing. It's as if all the different elements of our bodies are continually checking in with each other and making tiny adjustments accordingly.
Though the sphenoid is very important in its own way, as a keystone of the cranium and a home for the pituitary gland, it doesn't actually seem to be an overall master. It's more as if all the different body elements are completely enfolded with each other, every one is as important as every other.

Our First Energy Work Day at Inverquiech

I've been hoping to link up the worlds of practical sustainable living and complementary therapy for many years, really since 2006 when I started exploring what a sustainable way of life might look like in real life - (see my first eco blog post here). In the past I've met permaculture practitioners who dismiss energy work out of hand and complementary therapists who don't see the importance of looking after the environment.

So it's been absolutely amazing after all this time to find myself at last bringing it all together with my great friend Kate Everett, farmer at Inverqueich.

A magical venue - Kate's yurt in the woods, near the confluence of two rivers, a very peaceful, grounded, balanced, nurturing space.

I've been helping out there, making a composting toilet on a trailer base, amongst other things, and also running the woodworking part of my sustainable living courses there (All Things Sustainable). We've been talking about putting on some kind of therapy/healing event for a while but finally took the plunge and set one up for last Sunday.

ENERGY HEALING INTRODUCTION - 12th November 2023

We planned a day to include an introduction to energy body anatomy, Chi Kung practice, a card game based around interpersonal patterns and a listening exercise, making the whole thing as relevant to everyday life as we could. We weren't too sure how people would take to the whole thing but in the end we were absolutely delighted by the response. The participants were mostly from the Timeshare Permaculture group Kate has set up so they were already on that wavelength or already had experience of different complementary therapies, so they took to the day like ducks to water, right from the very start. We've had wonderful feedback from everyone, it really feels like at last the time is right for events like this, helping people to understand the tremendous potential for energy work in our everyday lives, part of a whole sustainable post-industrial way of healthcare within a whole sustainable way of life.

LOOK OUT FOR MORE ENERGY WORK COURSES COMING SOON!

Kate and I are already dreaming up ideas for more events. We'll probably repeat this first day with a tweak or two, it worked so well, and build on that. We have a second day planned which will include dowsing and lightworking, but we are keen to explore and develop this whole world further - it has so much potential to help us in these crazy times... do please email in your own ideas too: ianecowatt@gmail.com

LOOSENING UP TIGHT JAWS AND RELEASING STRESS

This is the focus for our group session this week - Thursday 26th January, 9 to 9.30pm UK time. 

Tightening up our jaws is one of our involuntary reactions to stress - it may be a kind of protective device, tightening up the cranium to protect the brain in dangerous situations. (The masseter muscles can load up your jaw with anything up to 200lbs). It's not a good long term strategy though... along with tight neck and shoulders, it leads to strain and restriction in several key areas, the cranial base/atlas, vagus nerves, jugular veins, TMJ's...

FREE REMOTE GROUP SESSION - 6th OCTOBER 2022

 FOCUS - CENTRAL CORE CHANNEL

For this session, I'd like simply to focus up and down our central core channel on each element in turn, in whatever order feels right. So, as well as the chakras, let's focus into the energy of other structures that lie on our centre line, our pineal glands, mouths, oesophagus and so on. My idea is to let everything reconnect, recharge and rebalance - building up our personal energy while keeping neutral, ie not sending energy out or drawing it in, just sitting quietly in the flow.

Then let's connect with the cosmic energy centre about three feet, or a metre, above our heads and with the Earth centre about the same distance beneath our feet. Have a brilliant session wherever you are, here's the link to the Facebook group.

REGENERATION

One of the themes I want to explore a bit more with our remote group and my own work is REGENERATION:

MIT image of RNA

Why should some types of tissue be able to regenerate and others not? Scientists are good enough to say that they don't understand the process - maybe that's partly because industrial medicine ignores the hole phenomenon of our energy body?

Maybe if we can focus on the tiny energy bodies of cells and molecules we can help tissue to regenerate at that level. There does seem to be a transfer of information that we can tune in with. I have an idea that we can focus into the information flow between DNA and RNA.

(Is this partly explained by the Morphic Fields that Rupert Sheldrake describes?)

VARICOSE VEINS

One of the tissue types that is supposed not to regenerate is the tissue forming the valves which help the veinous return of blood towards the heart - I've been exploring this for myself and for a patient. Clearly there are things we can easily do to help ourselves: reduce time spent standing still and walk more, I'm also finding very light effleurage self leg massage towards the heart helpful. Once some of the stress is removed from the veins can we help the legs to repair? Why not?

When you're walking the action of your calf muscles pumps your blood back towards your heart - through one-way valves in your legs  

This is the theme for this Thursday's remote group session, all welcome to join in from wherever you are.

THE BEAM OF PEACE

This is something I've been thinking about for years... as we develop our psychic abilities and evolve into the more peaceful, gentle and cooperative beings that we will have to become if we don't want to bring mass extinction down on our heads, maybe we could develop the ability to neutralise weapons?

In one of the Carlos Castaneda books, Don Juan uses psychic control to "switch off" Carlos's car, preventing him from leaving, by interrupting the energy flow to its spark plugs. Maybe we could find the weak link in other weapons' control systems in the same way?

And maybe we could send a beam of enlightenment and rapid evolution encouragement into the minds of these various reptilian monster megalomaniac leaders we're beset with...

MY FIRST NOVEL

I've been blogging for years but here's my first novel, a surreal, hilarious, bawdy, satirical romp through the Collapse of the Industrial World into the Sustainable Future, featuring incompetent, narcoleptic mechanic Danny the Monkey Wrench Kid and an exotic cast of misfits, dropouts, hermaphroditic sexbots, zombaloids, megalunks, a highly evolved Rescue Dog and an Earth Goddess...

CLICK HERE FOR SUMMARY AND FIRST THREE CHAPTERS

I wrote it because I want to get all my ideas and experiences from the eco and therapy worlds I've blogged about for so many years out in a more dynamic, entertaining way - so it's very much in the style of a graphic novel. There's no issue that Danny is afraid to wade into, whether accidentally or not, be it gender and sexuality issues, violence and war, or the climate emergency that we seem to be doing so little about...

The Energy of Bones

THE BABY SKULL
Lots of fascinating effects pop up when you do a physical treatment with a patient that overlaps into energy work. For example, when you're holding the cranial vault in a Craniosacral Therapy treatment, it often feels as if what is just one complete bone in the physical body has several sections in the energetic body. I think, in the case of the cranium, this at least partly because the baby skull has many more sections than the adult skull so it can fold in on itself during labour. You sometimes find that the adult skull has the memory of an over-ride between the parietals and the frontal bone, it can seem to have a beneficial overall effect for the patient if this resolves in a treatment.
SACRUM AND COCCYX

The Sacrum and Coccyx also seem to have quite different physical and energetic presences, something I've already been exploring in our regular remote group sessions, which I'd like to explore further in our session today, Thursday16th July 2020.

My Introduction to Energy Work

SIX IMPOSSIBLE THINGS BEFORE BREAKFAST...
Twenty-five years ago I was a complete sceptic myself concerning energy work in general. I remember having a treatment from a therapist for back pain and the lady saying to me, "I'm just going to zap some energy into your hip".

The White Queen - "Why sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

"What?!" I thought - I was on the verge of jumping off the couch and running down the street, so I understand that sceptical point of view. Now, though, energy work is just an everyday reality for me.

COVID'S LITTLE BROTHER?

My partner Ruth and I have been ill for a few weeks with some kind of virus, we tested negative for covid 19 but our symptoms were fever, cough, loss of taste etc, so it was maybe covid 19's little brother or something. Anyway, I'm happy to say we're both pretty much back to normal, thank goodness it wasn't any worse for us.

Our first day out for ages, coffee in the orchard at excellent local organic project Pillars of Hercules.

The few weeks holed up not doing much at all have given me time to think about life and work going forward, I'm planning to do a lot less heavy physical work for a start.
PERTH COMMUNITY FARM
As well as my therapy work, I've been helping to keep Perth Community Farm going with a few friends and think I overdid lifting and digging etc. one day, then got a bit rushed and half-hearted about hand washing and masks, had a few drinks that evening, and so laid myself open to the bug. I've been in denial about getting older but suppose I'll have to start making some concessions to being 67 next month...

The Perth Community Farm site - a small group of us volunteers has kept it going during lock down, I just think local food and resilience projects like these are so important, it's vital to keep them going. For how much longer are we in the UK going to have our food, everyday stuff as well as luxuries, shipped, flown, trucked in from the four corners of the Earth? It's a disaster however you look at it. More on my Natural Solutions blog here.

While we've been poorly, family and friends have been wonderful helping with shopping and sending us remote Reiki and Craniosacral treatments, which have been a huge help.
REMOTE THERAPIES
Remote work generally seems to have gone up a level, some of the swaps I've been doing with friends recently have been really amazing, so that's something I'll definitely be putting more energy into. I'll update all the remote stuff on this blog and add a bit about tutoring other therapists.
TUTORING FOR REMOTE WORK
I know a lot of my therapist friends have been struggling through lock down and clinic life won't ever be just the same. Working remotely can be really effective, particularly when you can back it up with phone calls, emails etc. so I'd like to offer an opportunity to practise the skills, it could well be an option for therapists who do energy work or light touch work. I'll post more about all that soon.

Remote Treatment

I was reading a post on one of the Craniosacral Therapy practitioners' pages I follow discussing remote therapy/healing work, whether Craniosacral Therapy, or CranioSacral Therapy, can be given in this way, what you should call it, whether without physical touch it's really not Craniosacral Therapy at all, whether remote therapy/healing work is all just bogus anyway, and also concerns such as, "If my patients can receive help remotely will they still come to see me?"

SESSION 30 JAN 2020 - CLEARING AND STRENGTHENING

Clearing and Strengthening with Tai Chi and Chi Kung

This is a video of Cheng Man-Ch'ing performing his own short form of Tai Chi. It's the form I learned myself and I wanted to let people see it partly because it's lovely to watch his gently controlled mastery (check out his "Snake Creeps Down" movement at about 3.45) but also because there's a couple of movements in it which I find really helpful for clearing and for revitalising.
REVITALISING, STRENGTHENING
Right at the start of the video, 0.06 to 014, there's a movement called "Lifting Water", simply lifting the hands gently up and down in front of you. It looks nothing at all at first glance but if you practise it slowly a few times while focusing on your energy centres in turn as I suggest for tuning in, using your hands to help you to focus on each one in turn, it can be come a very gentle but powerful movement.
CLEARING
There's a lot of movements in this form which are basically pushing, or pushing and deflecting. If you practise these with the intention of clearing unhelpful energy from your personal field or returning, dissipating or deflecting unhelpful energy that has been directed towards you, these can be very helpful in everyday life. If you practise you'll find that just imagining yourself doing these movements with that intention in a difficult situation can be surprisingly helpful...
TAI CHI AND CHI KUNG
Tai Chi, or Infinite Ultimate fighting system, is a martial art, Chi Kung, or energy development, gives its movements their power. Martial arts are not ultimately about fighting, if you see a situation as a fight you've already lost. The ultimate goal is peace, for the two parties to find a deeper understanding and a cooperative way together.
SESSION TODAY
If you can join in the session today why not try following some of these movements first - have a great session!

Remote Group Session 23rd January 2020

FOCUS for today's session: harmonising the flow of energy within the Conception Vessel and the Governing Vessel meridians, the Microcosmic Orbit, and the Craniosacal System

We had one final stop to make in our journey around the meridian system, the Conception Vessel and Governing Vessel meridians, so let's visit this pair today.

The Microscopic Orbit - visualise energy flow up the centre of your back and down the centre of your front in a continuous circuit.

The Microcosmic Orbit was once a secret practice but is now widely known as a way to nurture and gather our personal energy by focusing on it's path around these two meridians.

REMOTE GROUP TREATMENT SESSION 19TH DEC 2019 - FOCUS, QUADRUNE BRAIN, DOLPHIN CONSCIOUSNESS

Here in the UK, many of us are still experiencing post-election disbelief and dismay. What seemed a golden opportunity for radical positive change at a governmental level has slipped through our fingers. Instead what do we have? Some sort of hideous bargain-basement imitation Trump backward collapse?

Easy to deride Trump, Johnson, Bolsonaro and their like but we only have ourselves to blame for them being in power. They are "us" just as much as Gandhi or Lao Tzu. And what do they represent but nothing more than humanity's baser nature, that lying, greedy, lazy part of all of us. How can we expect politicians to act for the good of all and for a healthy environment when we don't in fact give them a mandate to do that.

QUADRUNE BRAIN - earlier post here

DECEMBER MERIDIAN - STOMACH

The Meridian for this Month is the Stomach. It runs on from the Large Intestine Meridian in a complicated pattern around the face and mouth, a branch descending internally through the diaphragm to the stomach and spleen. Another branch descends over the surface of the neck, chest and abdomen to the groin where the meridian reconnects with the continuation of internal branch from the stomach. It runs from here down the leg to the top of the foot, terminating at the tip of the second toe.

I love the dramatic descriptions of Stomach Meridian disturbance: eg the patient may like to "climb hills, sing a lot, or strip and run about naked". I'll know what's up with that type now...
