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...

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?"
