I offer case studies in order to align you to the healing possibilities that open up when we understand consciousness to be the prima materia. Mostly, I am describing what happens as my imagination interacts with ‘the field.’ In an in-person treatment, this is what guides my hands to apply resonant attention, allowance, and light touch to the client’s fully-clothed body; online, I am just applying attention and allowance and ask the person to place their hands on different locations on the body, though I also use my hands as if we were working in person. Everything I describe is profoundly different than allopathic medical treatment and even most bodywork.
Scanning Junie’s body pretty quickly revealed a strange esoteric object: A wooden rod to the right of her spine. Using the 20 Questions technique, I determined it to be lodged in her emotional body from 22-23 years old as well as an ‘energetic interference,’ a consciousness other than her own. As I continued to pay attention, the object also seemed to flip-flop between the wooden rod and as a hollow metal pole.
“I had been quite suicidal at about 21 and was put in a psychiatric hospital, which was actually a good experience,” Junie said. “But when I was out, I backslid a bit. Then, when I was about 22, I quit drinking.”
Because I didn’t understand what a wooden/metal pole had to do with quitting drinking, I started ‘unpacking’ the visual information by translating it into words. “The wooden pole is communicating something about discipline, a kind of ‘stiff spine’ message, while the metal pole seems more like a tool that you’d use to beat someone with.”
“Well, I had been very undisciplined before and I then I realized that I really needed to clean up my diet and stop drinking. And I wasn’t always kind to myself at that time,” Junie explained. So we held the double ideas of discipline and self-flagellation in her field and ‘got out of the way’ by adding the attitude of allowing.
“That’s making me feel quite emotional,” Junie said, tearing up. Pretty soon, she was sobbing. We held attention + allowance on the pattern until her tears subsided and she felt more blood flow in the area.
