Sedating Dr. Strangelove
8 May 2006
One of the fantastic qualities of Quantum-Touch is its versatility. It makes virtually any healing modality more effective. And it's a two-way street – sometimes another discipline can make Q-T even more efficient. One of my absolute favorite techniques is using Quantum-Touch with acupressure strengthening and sedating points. While the technique I'm going to discuss is a must for dealing with any autoimmune disorder, I have had particular success in using it with Rheumatoid arthritis. I had a client, a gentleman in his sixties, who had suffered for five years with a rare form of Rheumatoid arthritis which primarily affected his upper body. I had worked on him a couple of times. When the session was over, he would express delight at the experience, telling of wonderful colors and visions he'd had. But once he rose up from the table, there seemed to be absolutely no change in his pain level. I had recently read Donna Eden's book "Energy Medicine," and had been intrigued by her chapter on sedating and strengthening points. The next time I saw him, I used these points as I'll describe below. After four or five of these sessions, he declared, "This is the first time I've been pain-free in five years!" Another client was a fourteen-year old girl who had been diagnosed with juvenile arthritis. She had suffered for two years from the disorder and had begun chemotherapy treatment a couple of months before I saw her. After the first session, her mother informed me that her daughter was already so much better that she'd slept through the night for the first time in months. TRIPLE HEATER AND SPLEEN Donna Eden explains that the Triple Heater and Spleen represent two arms of the immune system. The Triple Heater is the military aspect of the immune system, the General. Its vital role is to be on the lookout for invaders, and to defend your borders against all comers. But at times it becomes overvigilant. The Spleen is the Great Mother of the immune system, wanting to make sure that every aspect of the system is in perfect harmony. Autoimmune disorders occur when the General goes bananas and morphs into Dr. Strangelove! For whatever reason, the Triple Heater loses it and starts attacking all comers. And if the Great Mother aspect happens to be in a weakened state, there's no one there to reign in the mad General. SEDATING DR. STRANGELOVE The solution? We must provide some heavy sedation to bring Dr. Strangelove back to his senses. Bring on the Triple Heater Sedation points! There are two pairs of sedation points for the Triple Heater (see Point Locations below): (1) Hold ST #36 with TH #10; next, (2) Hold TH #2 with BL #66. Hold both sets of points on one side of the body first (either the right or left), and then on the other side of the body, as you do your Q-T sweeping and breathing. You can hold them for 3 minutes or until you feel the cessation of sensation, just as you would with "classic" Q-T. The cessation of sensation may take more than 3 minutes, which is fine, but don't decide that more is necessarily better and overdue it by holding past the point where the body has signaled "enough." No pressure is necessary. As in any energy work, other signs that you're done could be a sudden sigh from the client, or a sudden bout of stomach gurgling. STRENGTHENING THE GREAT MOTHER VERY IMPORTANT: Next, hold the Spleen strengthening points. Although you could get away with holding only the Triple Heater sedation points for a few sessions, people who have done that over a period of time have sometimes fallen into a depression. Although we want to calm Triple Heater down, its vigilance serves a vital purpose, and we don't want to extinguish it! As long as you both sedate TH and strengthen SP during each session, you don't have to worry – your client will be fine. There are two pairs of strengthening points for the Spleen (see Point Locations below): (1) Hold HT #8 with SP #2; next, (2) Hold SP #1 with LV #1. LOCATION OF SEDATING POINTS FOR TRIPLE HEATER ST #36 (Stomach #36): You can ask your client to place their palm over their kneecap - the point is located to the right of the bottom of the kneecap, in the muscle next to the bone, level with the point at which the middle finger ends as it hangs over the kneecap. TH #10: When the elbow is flexed, the point is in the depression about 1” above the tip of the elbow (referring to the area between the elbow and the shoulder, not the area between the elbow and the wrist). BL #66 (Bladder #66): On the outer side of the small toe, in the depression in front of the base joint. TH #2: On the back of the hand, in the depression between the little finger and the ring finger, about half an inch down from the knuckle when the fist is clenched. LOCATION OF STRENGTHENING POINTS FOR SPLEEN HT #8 (Heart #8): Surface of the palm – between the 4th & 5th metacarpal bones (4th & little fingers), about an inch or so below the webbing between the two fingers. When a fist is made, the point will be found where the tip of the little finger rests. SP #2: On the inner side (i.e., the inner ankle side) of the big toe, in the depression formed by the cleft of the bone behind the base joint, on the border of the “red and white” flesh. SP #1: On the inner side (i.e., the inner ankle bone side) of the big toe, at the bottom corner of the nail. LV #1 (Liver #1): On the side of the big toe opposite to SP1, beneath the bottom corner of the nail, halfway between the bottom corner of the nail and the first joint. * * * This is my favorite kind of technique – really simple and really powerful. I encourage you to put it to use. I'd love to hear what happens when you do, so be sure to drop me an e-mail! P.S.: I also encourage you to pick up a copy of Donna Eden's book "Energy Medicine" if you don't already have it. It's beautifully written and full of similarly powerful yet simple techniques and illuminating insights.
