perceptions are not at all under your control. They come when you
don't expect them, they disappear without reason.
Continue the practices regularly and after a few months you will
just have to go into your eye and tune in to generate an immediate
flow of vibration. But even once a fair level of mastery has been
reached, the vibration remains subject to variations from one day
to the next and even during the same day.
- In the case of cancer, many therapists advise against any form
of massage because it might facilitate a spreading of the disease.
For some, massage even remains contraindicated for as long as five
years after the last surgical operation, or the last treatment that
ended the cancer, even if the patient is completely healed. If you
share this view, it is very possible to implement channel release
without rubbing, just by moving the tips of your fingers very
lightly along the meridians, as described in section 6.4. - In this chapter, the acupuncture meridians will be referred to
by the name of a corresponding organ, as frequently found in
acupuncture literature. Yet it can never be emphasized enough how
misleading these names are and what great misunderstandings they
can create. The meridian of the gallbladder, for instance, has a
number of distinct functions and connects with several body
parts, from the eye and the ear to the ankle, apart from passing
through the gallbladder. So the term ‘gallbladder’ does not
summarise the function of the meridian at all. If this name is
used, it is because it is simpler to memorise than the proper
Chinese name, zu shao yang (literally: ‘middle yang of the foot’).
4.6 Shou jue yin, ‘Heart Constrictor Meridian’
The part of the Heart Constrictor Meridian that we are going to
stimulate is a line that starts at the root of the palm and goes
straight up the middle of the forearm to the tendon of the biceps
at the line of the elbow, and then straight up the middle of the
biceps.
Sit in a meditation position. If you are on a chair, don't prop
against its back. Keep your eyes closed throughout the exercise.
Rub your hands for a few seconds and repeat practice 4.3. Remain
motionless with your palms upwards. Become aware of the
vibration in your eye and in your hands.
Rub along the line of the meridian with the bridge of the palm
(the mounts beneath the knuckles) as described in section 4.5.
