What do we understand by the word spirituality? If you are from a traditional religion Then it is more likely to mean a focus and aim for a closer connection with ‘’Spirit’ and ‘God’ invariably via prayer contemplation and religious observances. This word has expanded in modern times to include a belief in a supernatural dimension, a quest for meaning and purpose in life. And even psychic abilities.

Presently, it would be fair to say that many people are searching for a meaning that they fail to find in the mundane life experience. It is ironic because I imagine that if you were to be able to ask 50 yrs back a Kalahari bushman or a tribesman in the interior of the Brazilian jungle. They would probably point to the trees, the birds and animals, their group, and their immediate family as having meaning and purpose enough.

I vividly recall being 17 years old and contemplating my life. Being in the same job for the next 40 yrs or so, my loneliness, the dreariness of the city, and envisioning suicide, for if this was my life I wanted none of it, instead, I went searching for meaning in life. This took me through a whole variety of Religions, cults, so-called spiritual groups, as well as healing circles, to name but a few in my long life quest for answers to the question. “What is the true purpose for our existence?”

It is a sad reality that humanity in general terms has become disassociated from the external world, in large measure because they have also lost connection within their internal world. Our technological achievements have also created constant distractions from ourselves. Our disconnection from nature, its rhythms, and its necessities have cocooned us and imprisoned us in our minds. To the point, that what matters is my matching fashionable clothes, where I eat, do I have the right pronouns, Enough tattoos, body piercings, how others might see me and, hopefully, approve of my appearance, to name but a few.

There is a large? Perhaps not so large in terms of the overall world population, group of people who have gone/are going through a similar process to the one I was on. Seeking a peace of mind that eludes them and latching on to the next fad, for they are in internal emotional/mental/physical pain or discomfort. I totally empathise

Many are unlikely to fulfil their initial aspirations, for life requires us to be flexible and pliable. Rigidity brings Death. Our obsession with Zombies in modern culture Is apt, for as we become rigid in our thinking and emotions, we finally become rigid in the body. And these ‘sad’ human creatures are all around us.

One of the greatest stumbling blocks to ‘peace of mind’ is….would you believe, ideology? If you do, let me metaphorically stretch you a bit more. Ideology is one of the paths that lead to rigidity in life. I will define the term ideology as holding a set of beliefs. You might say. “Well, we all need to believe in something, don’t we?” I agree, wholeheartedly, for beliefs are mental maps that define the nature of our world as well as our part in it. Without them, life would be very confusing.

So what is the problem then? For starters, beliefs are not a direct representation of reality, they are approximations according to our experiences, which in turn lead to an understanding of our environment and ourselves. So beliefs are very useful, however, if we get too attached to them, then rigidity of thought sets in. We use beliefs as though they are the TRUTH, whereas they are only meant to be guides to our progression of experience and understanding.

To stay flexible and limber, it is useful to ask, “Where does my belief come from?”. And, “Can a different belief be a better map to explain me and/or Creation?”

**The gates of Hell are always open for business**

For example, I grew up indoctrinated as a catholic. God in heaven, angels and demons, priests as intermediaries to whom if I confess the doors of heaven will open to my soul. Ohh yes, and before I forget, I am born a sinner. Also, God is a peeping tom, as in keeping tabs on all my actions day and night and I need to be fearful of him. Also, I can pray to him on behalf of others, just in case he is not watching them as closely as me, for I undoubtedly have more of His ear than they have.

Clearly, my Catholic faith was a simplistic model handed down to me, designed to keep me fearful and subservient to the intermediaries who are in charge of handling God’s ~~financial~~ spiritual affairs on this Earth. Yes, I am slightly tongue in cheek, yet the ‘faith’ will give comfort to many, whilst scaring others to the day of their deaths in equal measure.

Historical – many strides have been made in this century with regard to what humanity’s past may have been. Our ideological template, assumed but not expressly stated in the Holy Bible, and widely accepted over the past 600 to 700 years was, that humanity had been created by God approx. 6000 yrs back. From the Victorian era to at least the 1960s if not later, there were archaeologists who made discoveries inconsistent with such a belief. Their discoveries were swept under the table by those whose rigidity could not bear a change of mental program to more closely align with reality. But you can look for them under the heading forbidden archaeology.

These ideologies, without serious foundation in reality, keep coming up to ensnare the gullible. In this century we have Climate change is caused by humans, That Western medicine can cure people. Cosmology – the Big Bang and when the universe started, politics – The way to feed and make all people equal. The latest -That men can become women simply by wishing it to be so. ad nauseam.. What they all have in common is control of the narrative by the few for power, control and financial gain.

The Human Programmable Genetic Machine

As genetic machines, we have 3 separate centres operating within one brain. The physical one is very straightforward to programme via repetitive movements that generate muscle memory. The emotional brain is dependent on both the mental and the physical via feedback loops to release hormones via which to alter the physical functioning of the body. The mind learns from the environment and activates the emotional to mobilize the physical.

The mental is both useful and a hindrance. Useful because it remembers danger and how to respond. A hindrance because it lacks flexibility.

As machines, we are ALL genetically programmed to survive. This requires all 3 centres of the brain to communicate with each other, and we need to differentiate between mind and brain. The brain is the hard drive the storage mechanism, not just for visual memories, but for all 6 senses. The mind could be compared to an average politician – it will lie, tell you that black is white regurgitate information, and speak it as though it is the truth. Why? Because it is driven by fears and insecurities and a desperate need for survival. Mind is a collection of programs, some have arisen in us as a result of perceived danger. Others have been fed into us to conform and be subservient to family, society, and religions.

The mind is driven by fear, but the programming is so insidious that it interferes with our perception of the real world. When we meet someone, our focus is rarely on being like a sponge open and absorbent, whereby we ‘taste’ the qualities of this individual. Rather, our minds are running critical judgement programmes, as to their look, their sound, previous memories if any of our interactions, or what we may have heard about this individual.

Compare the above scenario to meeting someone with an open heart, filled with curiosity and interest.

The human herd – New Age Movement

As human beings, we are genetically programmed to be part of the herd -where there is safety from predators, to be separated or shunned will generate fear and anxiety. This is humanity’s Achilles heel and the basis for ALL indoctrination. It doesn’t matter which group we belong to, the underlying dynamic remains, and this is abused to control us. Be it by governments, religions, political affiliations, and even so-called new-age movements.

All groups will have salient ideologies that define the perception of what is real. To question them is to isolate ourselves and be shunned by the group. For, those who hold rigid beliefs cannot cope with dissenting perceptions.

And so there is a new group that has gained prominence from the early beatnik dissatisfied hippies of the ‘60’s. I refer to those who label themselves as ‘spiritual’ in a non-religious way, and consider themselves to be part of the ‘New Age movement’. You will know them because they dabble with crystal, incense, astrology, yoga, Qi Gong, and tarot cards, and may even label themselves as Buddhists, vegan, vegetarians etc.,

Heck, these groups even have their own individualistic dress sense that says “I am rebelling from the pack”. Except they have now created a new group with their own recognizable ideas and dress dis-sense. By which to identify themselves to others, without realizing they are still rigidified.

I have met many so-called spiritual people over the years as I used to classify myself as one of them. By and large, I assure you they are as confused as the rest. They hope for powers, to be special, to be saved, that they are in the know, old souls, here from another galaxy or star system, here to save the planet from intergalactic evil doers… the list goes on and on.

I assure you that anyone that calls him/herself a master of this or that cult , group or discipline is as clueless as the rest. For knowledge is not wisdom, and hypnotizing yourself as you sit rigidly is not enlightenment.

Humanity has but one task, to live life to the full. And to achieve this end, we are pre-programmed to and will seek, someone to love, partner with, to feed the body what it needs, not by some acquired mental program but by instinctively listening to one’s needs. And this is the rub of the matter.

We carry so much unexpressed mental conflict, and emotional repression, that ultimately our bodies suffer the pain. And we are so lost and so desperate to heal that we listen to any charlatan (who is as lost as we are) that comes our way.

There is only one way out of the conundrum. To connect with intensity, be it emotional and or mental conflict and to once more immerse ourselves into whatever physical pain or discomfort we carry around with us. What we do instead is to numb ourselves with drugs, be they Western or recreational, and stuff ourselves with manufactured sugars and cheap vegetable fats.

Spirituality as the ego attempting to survive death or be something greater than ordinary, is a dead end – we are machines. And the soul that connects with us does not need the machine to lord it over it. Rather, the soul requires the machine to let go of the reins and be guided by its heart.

Sounds simple enough, right? There is just one tiny little hurdle, Self – love and acceptance. For we mostly dislike who we are, how we think, how we look, and the emotions we are overwhelmed by. For we constantly judge ourselves by how the group might perceive us, find us wanting, and that we will be ostracized, cast out, friendless, alone.

Psychic – Self-protection – do you need it?

Psychic – Self-protection – do you need it?

Firstly, what do we understand by psychic? When I look online I get supernatural, mystic, occult, and clairvoyant as well as, one who sees ghosts and spirits. Not really much help in a practical way.

So if I am under psychic attack and I want protection, I need to identify what is happening if I am to be able to deflect or neutralize the attack. I will define psychic protection as being able to repel or nullify incoming intense negative emotions and mental images directed at us by others, but also within ourselves.

Prologue

Psychic attacks may be intentional, ie. Someone hates / envies you.

Automatic -vampiric someone / something needs to feed on your vitality.

Unintentional, you have empathically opened yourself to another who has transferred intense emotions from their subconscious to you. This is more likely to occur between any type of hands-on and/or talking therapist and client.

Internal, from within our fractured personality.- aided by the critters

Spirit possession

What doesn’t work

Prologue

Human beings are machines. There is no escaping this fact, we are pre-programmed in our genetic DNA like all other living creatures on this earth. Our minds will also generate programs to dictate our behaviour and safety throughout life. And our emotions are designed to react to our environment.

All Human beings are senders and receivers of emotions, and potentially, feelings and images.

The majority of Human beings are emotional cripples, and imagination-ally challenged.

Most Human beings are by and large filled with fear and/or, self-dislike, and project their inner world onto the people and environment around them.

All Human beings are vehicles for Soul to immerse itself in life experience.

All Human beings have the potential to align with Soul, however, this can only be achieved via our hearts.

Negative emotions can be very strong and insistent, especially when aligned with a strong mental image. If someone truly hates you and makes it their life mission to destroy you. You will be affected. Fighting fire with fire has only ever worked in the bush, not when it comes to emotions.

If someone uses the practice of witchcraft or sorcery to affect you, what they are sending to you is their emotional hate, cruelty, and denial of our inherent communion with the Soul. The same principle will apply to a competitor at work, in business, or neighbour.

Intense negative emotions deliberately sent/focused in your direction can only ‘stick to you’ because there is a part of your personality/ ego that you dislike or hate in yourself, and have not come to terms with.

Learn to release the tensions within your body and see your adversary with compassion, for they are hurting, in pain. Their ego is caught in the mire of illusion, accept their state and your part in it. Let this bubble of acceptance emanate from you towards them.

Firstly, it helps to identify from whom the negativity is emanating, you could imagine yourself surrounded by your aura as though it was a one-way mirror deflecting all emotional energies back to the sender, but this is a temporary solution.

You need to realise that the poisoned dart has found a weakness in your personality, that you need to accept, come to terms with, forgive and accept your flaws.

In an ultimate sense, self-acceptance, generating joy and laughter in ourselves is the only true antidote, aligned with the recognition of the pain and weakness inherent in your attacker’s personality.

The key to success

To be successful we need to be able to separate from, yet be in our bodies, to experience and recognize our emotions, however uncomfortable they may be within us, and to have detachment from the automatic thoughts running through our heads. Many of them are parrot-like and benign, a distraction from our focus on ourselves and the world around us, but only if we indulge them.

This practice of ‘mindfulness’ is a daily prerequisite whatever our activity throughout the day, otherwise, without this background awareness, how would you be able to differentiate what is yours from others?

Intentional Psychic Attacks

This is the worst possible attack, for someone hates you, and/or is envious of you. The attacker could be an individual that has the internal freedom to consciously revel in their negative emotions. Most of us may be caught in the experience of anger, hate, and envy, but we are uncomfortable and attempt to deny and or suppress the emotion.

Emotions like rage that overtake an individual, can be like a small bomb has gone off, indiscriminately affecting those around us, and usually don’t last long. Whereas this, at the very least, sociopathic individual, nurtures, revels in the cruelty and feels alive whilst being consumed by this ongoing negativity.

Emotions are like electromagnetic pulses emanating from within us. When they are linked to a specific mental image (of a person) the emotion is channelled, and the recipient could be on the other side of the world, it would make no difference to their impact.

People who have trained in meditation, witchcraft /sorcery, and even focused prayer, by learning to focus and connect emotions with images are more likely to be successful in this endeavour.

Simply because we hope for personal improvement and start with good intentions on the journey towards self-liberation, does not make us immune from being overtaken by the dark parts of our nature. Until we have cleared the major suppressed emotions from our subconscious, we are susceptible.

Example.

Jenny (my wife), in her younger days, had a relationship with an older charismatic man – Jonny, who had many admirers and, unbeknown to Jenny, other occasional girlfriends on the side. One in particular – named Jean, had a background in witchcraft and had become extremely envious of Jenny.

As soon as Jenny found out Jonny was also seeing Jean, she ended the relationship. However, Jonny was unwilling to let Jenny go, and texted her frequently, proclaiming his love for her. Jean, who had now moved in with Jonny, had access to his phone and messages and was consumed with jealousy and possessiveness.

Jenny who was not a depressive had gone into a psychological black hole out of the blue, motivation for life had deserted her. After a little while, a close friend, much older and wiser, suspected a psychic attack and shared her suspicions with Jenny, this was also later confirmed by a white witch.

Jenny has always been extremely empathetic and emotionally open. The weakness in her character at the time, as well as the emotional scars of an over-domineering father, was a lack of self-worth. And at one level this was a repeating pattern of sociopathic male partners and jealous, cruel women.

For Jenny, the answer to these psychic attacks came as a result of her learning EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques. Where she learned to love and trust herself and cleared a lot of her own inner daemons. In the process, Jean no longer saw her as a threat and desisted from her emotional onslaught to focus it elsewhere.

So what do we gain from the above? Firstly, Jenny’s unawareness at the time made her very susceptible. Secondly, her subconsciously suppressed anger manifesting as a lack of self-worth acted like a magnet to bring these experiences into her life so that she might wake up to her true potential.

Devoid of self-awareness, we are victims, and we stand little chance of separating our internal darkness from one imposed on us. With some self-awareness, there is a halfway house. We may not have reached full love and acceptance of ourselves, but we can laugh at our condition and alter the dynamics.

Contemplate the perpetrator if we have a valid suspicion, realize that all life has a meaning and purpose and if you are being attacked it is because there is a part of you attempting to heal itself with the help of your enemy. Thank them for the darkness, depression and /or physical disturbance.

A little exercise:

Imagine your pain/negativity /depression as black emotional smoke inside your body. Imagine you have a second pair of imaginary ethereal hands that focus and draw the smoke to seep out of your body via your lower abdomen. Continue to suck the emotional black smoke in front of you and let it grow into a black ball until it’s all out of your body.

Wrap the smoke/emotion/pain with a layer of light and loving energy. Then See a large Sun in front of you and send the emotional ball to the Sun, experience that emotion evaporating in the Sun whilst being replaced within you by a feeling of nurturing compassion for yourself. Do this often, and don’t neglect compassion for the perpetrator. For ultimately, it is our lack of love and our desperation for it that is behind most human reactions.

Automatic – Vampiric– Humans, Critters

Unfortunately, this is far too common, the greatest deficiency of Mankind is love for ourselves, and yet, we are desperate for others to love us. Vampiric humans are filled with self-loathing, this comes out as critical-ness, put-downs, a need to do harm, turn people against people, misplaced anger, envy, jealousy of all and sundry. They are the snake in paradise.

Emotional vampires only come alive when they can ‘dump’ their poison on you, as they infect you with their negativity to be directed at others. Invariably, you will note that the more your emotions are stoked up, the calmer and more relaxed they behave.

The antidote to a vampire is not garlic, but rather self-awareness and distance. If a person like that is your so-called ‘friend’ or acquaintance, the sooner you can move away from their influence the better. Until you can do so, whenever in their company, imagine your energy field shimmering on the outside like a one-way mirror deflecting their barbs, manipulations, and criticisms of others in an attempt to stoke you into an emotional reaction.

Remind yourself that those around us are invariably reflections of our own subconscious tapestry, and the chances are that having a friend like that means you criticize yourself a lot too.

There is another category of Vampires -the Critters

These are low-level soul fragments lost in a cul-de-sac of soul evolution. Whereas the usual Souls manifest God’s Will, and express God’s Love by being vibrationally connected across every part of itself. The critter are, neither vibrating in step nor connected to the river of Soul.

The Critters from within the 9th dimension have a pinpoint connection to the Earth via the Moon and affect primarily those people who have an imbalanced/disturbed 2nd Chakra which is the seat of emotions, sexual drive and relationships. As well as those who also have a disturbed 3rd chakra – the seat of the mind, rules, control, self-critical, fanaticism be it religious, political, spiritual, etc.,

Young souls with a low level of control and integration could be affected at any time. Older souls that have not woken up to their truth yet, are more susceptible coming up to the full Moon (previous 6 days up to the day before the full moon) .. Souls that are in the process of waking up will be impacted by the new Moon (2 days before and the new moon day itself) as well as the full Moon.

Are there any souls that have fully woken up? Sorry! No such being on this planet. Waking up has very many shades (levels of integration) and, however much we may see ourselves as being truly awake to our nature and consciousness, we will always have an active ego. So there will be times when we fall sleep, disconnect from our hearts, and this makes us somewhat susceptible to the critters.

The Critters heighten negative reactive emotions in people. They feed on the fear generated in the second Chakra. Many disruptions in our societies will coincide with the New and full Moon. Be especially aware of your interactions with others around these dates, and do your best to avoid conflicts. At times others will attempt to bring conflict to you. Be vigilant.

Unintentional –Psychic Attacks

Ok, unintentional psychic attacks are not strictly speaking an ‘attack’ as they are the result of our empathetic natures as we help others to process suppressed emotions, and/or as a result of physical therapy interactions.

Most susceptible are likely to be highly empathetic hands-on therapists of any type, be it Bowen technique, Reflexologist, Cranio-sacral Therapist, Osteopath, Remedial Massage etc. By spending long periods directly focused and connected to another human being, you are more likely to be affected.

We all carry emotional baggage, these can be described as emotional charges that are locked within our muscle structures, kept in place by the mind and relegated to our subconscious. That emotional charge if it is close to awareness within the client may be shared with the empathetic therapist whilst being hands-on with the client.

In earlier years I used to practise Abdominal massage, and occasionally as I worked with the client I would experience emotions that were so sudden, I knew they were not mine, but rather the client’s. At such moments I would acknowledge the emotion, the recognition that it belonged to my client and via an act of will and emotional sensing, using my kinaesthetic hands as well as bioelectrical awareness of my energy field, I would send this emotional ball of energy back into my client’s lower abdomen. With a clear mental image and emotional intent. “This is yours, you experience it!”

Invariably, the client would quietly start crying as they connected to the previously repressed emotion.

A similar situation can arise with talking therapies when you are in a highly empathetic state. We all project emotions like crazy, and most of them are out of our awareness. For many, it is like a boiling water pot with a lid on, where the mind is applying a lot of pressure to keep the lid down, but the steam still escapes out of the edges of the lid. You’d never guess just by looking at another person. Unless they happen to be extremely emotionally reactive in their behaviour.

In a therapy setting, the client may well connect a little with an emotion with which they are unfamiliar and or uncomfortable. If you are fortunate, the emotion may also be one that reflects your own repressed nature, if so, it can become an opportunity for both of you to deeply experience and release. However, the professional way to respond is to send the emotion back to your client so that they may fully process it. It is not that you are repressing it within yourself, by all means, connect with the emotion, and yet, this is a session for your client, send their almost-out-of-awareness emotional energy back to help them process it.

If you are not so lucky, the emotion may have little to do with your personal emotional baggage. Yet your empathetic nature engages with this emotion that belongs to your client and there is a chance that your client avoids the full emotional experience and release.

In both cases, regardless of the possible benefit to yourself, you need to send the emotion back to your client for processing, or it will sit in you like a lead weight. In time, many repetitions of emotional events like this will generate trauma in your psyche.

The answer is to recognize that the emotion is not your own and, as in the example with the physical therapies, you send it back to the client, with the clear emotional intent -this is yours, as you imagine/ sense them experiencing the emotion.

Of course, we are not always so aware, so what can we do when we have picked up an emotional charge from our clients?

**Transfer emotional charge to the tree left hand**

Touch tree or wall with left palm for recently ingested emotion

2. When we take on board emotions that belong to someone else, touch a wall, any wall for at least one minute with the left palm only. Any tree from 6 months old onwards would be preferable but not practicable for many. You could touch a wooden table as long as it is resting on soil or tiles. Metal doesn’t work. This is good for up to 6 hours after the event.

Touch the tree or wall with the right palm if it’s been more than 6 hours, as the mind will now be involved

**Transfer with right palm if more than 6 hours**

However, if the emotion has been hanging around for a while, then the mind has become involved in the process, and you need to do the technique with the right palm only

Focus on your lower abdomen and because of the delay also the solar plexus, as you generate an energetic sensation of flow that rises towards the right hand. Then see it being absorbed by the wall or tree, going deep into the earth. Maintain the flow for at least one to two minutes.

Internal, from within our fractured personality.- aided by the critters

In this day and age, many people experience emotional trauma of such intensity that the mind will split its personality as a protective action, to the extent that one side might become completely unaware of the other.

Such a person will have strong dislikes, for what is hidden becomes part of something we don’t like, are disgusted by, or hate, about how we are in the present, or, might be like in the future. It is totally impossible to cut ourselves off 100% from other parts of our personae and there will be bleed-through in our thoughts, and nightmares.

Were this to be the case, one could imagine that one is under psychic attack from others. There are not many ways, to tell the truth of this, apart from perhaps the eyes, such as – the manic intense look that betrays that there is a lot of energy being used to contain oneself. The most that can be done for the suffering of such an individual is to feel compassion for their struggles to experience such pain. Ultimately, growth and psychic integration requires developing the stamina to immerse ourselves in our previously suppressed emotional conflict.

And then we have the sociopaths and psychopaths, all at different degrees of emotional cut-off ness. It is important to bring them into the equation because these are young souls learning the ropes of interacting in a human body and, they have been traumatized, desensitized from their emotions, and ruled by hidden fears from an early age. As a result of their need to avoid punishment they lie, blame everyone else, both manipulate others and in turn are easily manipulated by those they fear, tend to be very beguiling and charming. This makes them both bully predators and obsessed with controlling people and the surrounding environment.

Being emotionally disconnected, and without real morality, their sexuality is out of context with the mores of our culture, which makes them prey to blackmail and control. In a nutshell, they can easily be puppets for hidden forces. This is the one category that can be, not just the subject of psychic attacks by vampiric low-level souls that feed on fear that I have named ‘the critters’, but also possessed by them.

There is no helping these children in adult bodies who thirst for the levers of power and control of our society, apart from recognizing them for what they are and stopping listening to them. If they are in your circle of acquaintance, keep a wide berth.

Spirit Possession

Lastly, I should mention the realm of spirits, demons and other forces of nature that many are under the impression that an unscrupulous witch or sorcerer could wield for psychic attack purposes.

Human beings are highly suggestible especially when afraid and there is little more frightening than the unknown, death is the ultimate fear for those that can’t accept it. And so all manner of fantasies have been created to make sense of the unknown.

Since I am in direct communication with Soul I have been given insight into what to us is the unknown.

I can categorically share that there are no such entities as Spirits or Demons, although there is a small part of soul, fragments lost in a vibrational cul-de-sac and unconnected with Love – The Critters. This low level souls can possess those whose level of body-Soul integration is so low ‘such as psychopaths’ that the Critters have no problem ‘squatting’ there.

Whilst humans do need to protect themselves in so many ways, there is no need to protect oneself from what does not exists.

There are only three parts to Creation

The “Maker of All” that has manifested Creation

Soul -that part of God made manifest within Creation

What we call the 3^rd Dimension (our universe)– that contains all matter, as well as the biological machines, all created by Soul to manifest The Maker’s Will as well as being Soul’s playground for the experience.

What doesn’t work

The use of crystals, incense, talismans, and spells for self-protection is a total waste of time. What’s more, they suggest a state of fear and where there is fear love evaporates.

Crystal can have an affinity and resonance with the qualities inherent within our internal organs. But that is their limit.

**The Sun will shine when the dark clouds evaporate**

Incantations, prayer, or salt circles won’t help. Better to focus on your internal emotional states, and acknowledge where you are weak, lacking, or cut off. Look at the world from the perspective of your nemesis. Appreciate we all die much sooner than we imagine. Laugh at how easily you are caught in the mirror of illusions, realize that thunderstorms are temporary and when the dark clouds brake only love, joy, and laughter matter.

Bonus information

This has been a long narrative, I felt compelled to do justice to the subject, for there are many nuances to the subject of psychic protection.

To finish – with self-awareness comes the power to alter our perceived reality. Our imagination when aligned with our emotions and even more so with our feelings can do real magic. Not for ‘things’ but rather for our interactions with other people.

We are all fractured to a greater or lesser extent. Sometimes we have emotions and or thoughts that arise within us, and we would rather they did not affect those around us, or us for that matter.

When such a thought or emotion arises, see it expanding outwards to affect others or even alter your self perception, immediately surround it with your bioenergetic field, and use your imaginary hands to isolate and contain it into an energy ball. Using your imagination, and kinaesthetic sense take it down to your lower abdomen, which is your second Chakra, the seat of emotions, and experience /see to be contained that you may consciously process and accept.

How to compare Acupressure with Acupuncture

You have become an acupuncturist and are busy gaining experience. The insertion of needles into clients may or may no longer be challenging. What about the client’s response to being pricked with a needle? My experience in the past was that those who were disassociated with their bodies never felt a thing, those who were in connection with their bodies accepted it as a necessary experience. And many others with the expectation that it would hurt would be agitated and anxious.

To state whether acupuncture or acupressure is more effective is, unfortunately, not an easy answer. For a start, how do we know that the acupuncture points (acu. Pts) are the right ones for that particular individual at that moment in time? How do we know whether there needs to be tonification, sedation and or moxibustion?

You would reasonably answer that from pulse taking, observation of colour, sound, emotions, syndromes, etc, there are proscribed possibilities on which to make an informed decision.

The complications with making an effective assessment arise in part because the majorities of illnesses that clients come with are the result of eating the wrong foods and, or, medication.

Let me share a case in point. As a young vegetarian who loved too many cakes. I developed fatty liver disease very early on in my life. Unfortunately, as a result of a disastrous emotional experience to do with having to leave my little boy behind, I was so grief-stricken that muscle spasms in my lower back almost incapacitated me for many years.

5 Element Acupuncture

I went to an acupuncturist in Leamington Spa 35 years ago who was a teacher as well as a practitioner of 5 Element Acupuncture who had been recommended to me.

His diagnosis was that I had problems with my liver as an emotional underpinning. In his very first treatment, he tonified KID -24 Spirit Burial Ground. The effect of this point on me had such a profound emotional impact that there, and then, I decided to train to be a 5 Element Acupuncturist.

However, It was downhill from then on, for the more he tonified my Liver meridian the worse my back went. Finally, in confusion he arranged for me to see his father-in-law the highest authority there was in 5 Element at the time, and he concurred. My colour, sound, odour, emotion? They all pointed to the Liver. For the next seven years, I went from one Master of 5 Elements to the next, all treated me on the same basis, and my back got worse and worse. And by now, so was my liver!

So their diagnosis on the surface appeared accurate, and they tried to ‘fix’ what they assumed to be an emotional imbalance that in hindsight turned out to be physical as a result of the wrong diet. Yes, there was a deep-seated emotional element however, this was overshadowed by my physical (food-generated) damage.

The more they worked on my liver the more they disrupted it and the more symptoms of liver imbalance manifested, it became a catch-22. And they could no longer see the wood for the trees.

Let me add at this point that the resolution to suppressed emotions is to facilitate their experience. Having said that, some sedating on my Large intestine and small intestine might have done me more good at the time. We will never know.

Let me share a more recent example.

A client came to me with gout, he had been prescribed Western medication for a few years, for gout and high B.P. , subsequently they added Stomach medication because his digestion was being impaired by the rest of the medication.

I correctly diagnosed that his major problem arose from gluten damage to his intestines, leaky gut and eating way too much oxalic acid such as rhubarb and spinach. On top of this, he had become type two diabetic, with discolouration on his shins and profundity of tags on his upper body and neck. He also had long-term fungal infections on his toes. With guidance, he altered his diet and with some trepidation, he gave up the stomach and gout medication.

A few months later he had a little rhubarb pie and the gout immediately came back on his big toe. He learned his lesson. He is now on the straight and narrow, his diabetic symptoms are disappearing, he has lost a few stones in weight and is now very physically active. Yes, I have supported his journey with acupressure, but the initial physical problems needed to be accurately assessed.

I don’t wish to throw the baby out with the bath water, for J. R (5 Elements) having trained as an Osteopath had acquired an essential insight as well as the right summation.

1. The relationship between emotions and structural misalignment

2. That we carry deep trauma, and healing ultimately depends on the release of such emotional pain.

3. To get back to being healthy requires the body to move backwards towards initial structural integrity, one step at a time. He labelled it a healing crisis (a much-misunderstood term, unfortunately).

And he encapsulated this idea under the concept of the Causative Factor (C.F.) The idea is of a core relationship between emotions and meridians (elements). And how one could be trained via observation of colour, sound, odour, and perceived emotions to an accurate? diagnosis of the C.F. with which to, via the use of Acupuncture, to treat the ‘spirit’ of the individual.

Finding the underlying cause C.F. as well as the appropriate points is most challenging within the 5 Elements system, especially if there are other causes creating illness of which we are unaware of.

In my early days, I used to go to monthly meetings with other 5 element Acu. and disturbingly, invariably, the most common discussion revolved around “What is the C.F. of my client so that I may treat him/her accurately”. I noted at the time their self-delusion at trying to make their learnt theory work. How their client’s C.F. would change from one meeting to the next as they searched for the magic bullet with which to magically begin to heal their clients.

Of course, J.R. Taught that there were three levels ie. Elements within. So the picture is not that straightforward.

One could argue those are the challenges for a 5 Element acupuncturist, even before coming to the issue of what is the best method of delivery to help a client. Acupuncture or Acupressure?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (T.C.M.)

Practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (T.C.M.) have different hurdles to navigate. If you go to Face book under Acupuncture you will encounter acupuncture for facial beauty, reproductive health, healing the brain, as well as graduates seeking specific point combinations for all manner of pain relief, structural, as well as digestive symptoms.

As with 5 Elements, I don’t wish to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Not everyone is truly ready to deal with the underlying causes and reason for their illness, and there are tried and tested point combinations that do work for certain people to give relief.

The same dilemma arises, though. Most illnesses in human beings are the result of wrong diets, drinks, and drugs, Western or otherwise, in which case, neither acupuncture or herbs will sort out the client’s ill’s unless they change their life style.

Emotions, the fascia and structure

It is fair to say that unexpressed emotions somatise in the muscles of the body. The fascia, is a flexible and fluid pliable collection of sheaths that envelops all muscles, bones, organs, and glands. Chronic muscular tension will, as a result of lack of movement, make the fascia envelope in that particular location dry and rigid. Because the whole body is one, contraction in one set of muscles will create over-stretching elsewhere in some other fascia/muscles/tissue.

Because muscles attached to bones, and facia go hand in hand, there will be structural misalignment that will pinch on nerves, distort the structure of internal organs and glands, misalign bones not just in the body but in the cranium. We call that personality. If you are an observant person you will note the peculiarities, of people’s gait, chest shoulders, neck alignment, hips etc.,

It is these misalignments, deeply ingrained, that over long periods of time are, apart from diet, what makes us physically incapacitated in one way or another.

**Tall antenna kept upright with opposing cables**

The human body contains twenty-six fascia channels that for the sake of explanation we could think of as very long and somewhat large rubber ropes, each of which contains and surrounds numerous muscles, organs, and glands along its length. We call these the Meridians.

Whilst the lengths of fascia stand on their own, they always connect at the ends with other facia strands so that contraction in one will create over extension in another.

We are used to thinking of the human body standing up by itself, the reality is that we have 13 opposing fascias pulling equally in opposite directions to maintain a relative balance with each other. For example, Large intestine and Stomach, Spleen and Heart. I appreciate that the Stomach and Spleen share the same element of Earth, but they don’t form a bond of opposites. The same is true for the other Yang versus Yin organs.

The human body from childhood onwards will have many emotionally disturbing moments when various muscles in one or more fascia will contract. If the muscular tension becomes chronic, after a while the enveloping fascia due to lack of fluid movement rigidifies, even though the muscles may eventually relax. This has a knock on effect not just on opposing fascia but the overall bone alignment of the human body.

Our bodies are amazing machines, they roll with the punches and compensate, when the fascia twists our anatomy, the spine will find a new balance within the imbalanced structure. Why am I belabouring this point? Because true healing can only come when we unwind the clock backwards in the correct sequence. If you tonify or sedate points on one Meridian, there will be compensatory knock on effects on the overall, already misaligned structure.

If you are just treating symptoms or, have misunderstood the C.F or its level, you are just as likely to distort the structure even more if you are not on the right meridian. What is more, the assumption that you would automatically needle both sides of the body is erroneous. For perhaps only the left side meridian needs tweaking, or vice versa!

Mental disturbance affect the meridians on the right and emotional ones on the left.

True healing requires, releasing, the emotional as well as mental backlog at the pace to which the client is capable. In the process, realigning, the cranium, releasing muscular tensions, and tweaking the appropriate acupuncture points at any given moment in time to help to release the fascia. Quite apart from appropriate diet for that individual.

Of course, what I have just described is not sexy for the majority of people who have been seduced by a quick fix by Western Medicine. Well, that is the theory because in practice, Western medicine seldom delivers the goods. What begins as two bottles of tablets ends up after a few years as a cupboard full of medication, as well as the odd operation here and there.

Acupuncture has been handed down to us across the millennia as a tool to connect with spirit by freeing up the blockages that stop us from being in our hearts. Instead, It has gone the way of all mainstream religions, where rules and dogma are used by the fearful as a quick fix. Today Acupuncture is used by medical doctors, osteopaths and masseurs, (dry needling). Electrical machines to affect acu. pts. with instructions are sold for the average customer to help with pain relief. It is not a stretch to say that Acupuncture has become a panacea for the masses.

Many years back I went to a masseur who in my ignorance said to her “you are the expert in massage, do what you consider necessary”. Towards the end of the session, whilst I was lying face down, she zapped me with a piezo electric gadget across many of my acupuncture points in my upper back before I had a chance of stopping her. The result was a physical destabilization of my spine, and my left wrist, that lasted for over a month.

5 years back I went to a physiotherapist who massaged GB-21 on my left hip for about ten minutes, had lower back pain for one month afterwards.

When I contemplate Acupuncturists’ need for a selection of point to fix this that or the other, it reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple with the moneylenders and goods sellers. They had misappropriated the temple for ordinary affairs. It is written Jesus was so incensed that he allegedly up turned the tables, threw their goods on the floor as he berated them for their crash insensitivity.

We call ourselves, Alternative Therapists, but all we have done is change drugs for needles.

And I appreciate that people are in pain and in need, and will turn anywhere for relief.

A new vision for Effective Acupuncture / Acupressure

Let me share a different vision, the human body is the temple that is designed to worship spirit. That means rising beyond the limitations of ego to our hearts. You could describe it as growing our awareness, raising our level of consciousness by clearing the backlog of unexpressed emotions, modern day poisons such as pharmaceuticals, and processed foods, as well as uninformed treatments that hold us back.

So in my opinion both 5 element and TCM have serious challenges to effective treatment, For in our desire to help we might well assuage a symptom like drugs will do. Yet like drugs there are inevitably side effects for we are not dealing with the causes.

You might well say, How else can we help people apart from the information handed down to us via books for hundreds of years as much as the experience of our teachers?

Today, in this World we are collectively rasing our consciousness and understanding, and we need a new form of healing to help those who are ready.

I appreciate that most of my words will fall on deaf ears, for understanding requires experience. But there is a much better way of working with clients who are ready, and these are increasing exponentially. I refer to the use of Kinesiology (muscle testing) to diagnose what the client needs. This is based on the appreciation that inside each of us resides intelligence that knows precisely what we require at any given moment in time.

I could tell you more, but a picture is worth a thousand words. Le me show you with this video instead?

Finally, if you haven’t guessed it yet? 🙂 In this bureaucratic times, using needles has a lot of health and safety red tape. And how do you know that inserting a needle is necessary anyway? I know, It is how we have been taught.

Yes, it is true that inserting a needle will twist the fascia fibres and create a pull. On the other hand, Acupressure works at the bioelectrical level. The effect can be much more pronounced, especially when we are on the right point for the body. I have often generated emotional release with acupressure in clients and I regularly feel the electrical crackle between my finger and the acupuncture point, even with garments in between.

Let me suggest as someone who has been using acupressure for nearly 15 yrs. That it is quicker, more elegant, more gentle on the client and as long as you are connecting with the right point for that client way more powerful. Bonus point – the client does not need to take clothes off!

Monday13^th to Sunday19^th of November 2023

Location: Blebo Stables, Blebo, Cupar, Fife Scotland

In this 7 days course,

You will be taught

The basics of Muscle testing

About the body’s basic energy body fields

Such as the Aura, Tibetan figure 8 and the Chakras

And the effective use of Acupressure as a modality of treatment

With plenty of time for practice and absorption under supervision.

The minimum requirement is that you be a therapist or coming towards the end of your training as one, so that you may be able to apply muscle testing in your particular field. Knowledge of the acupuncture meridians and the (at a minimum) rough location of the acupuncture points would be extremely advantageous for this workshop too, as I will be sharing a method for effective Acupuncture/ Acupressure diagnostic Treatments. Watch the video below, and you will understand why rough is all that is required.

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to help people with symptoms. Our collective vibration is about to speed up, and we need a new type of therapist who does not focus on the symptom, but rather the cause behind it.

I use muscle testing to identify an effective treatment with acupressure,
as well as identifying the location of points and whether the body wants or rejects any further treatment on a specific Acupuncture point.

5 Element Acupuncture as initially taught by J.R. Wolsley understood that healing is not about symptoms, and practitioners relied on external clues on which to base treatment.

The use of Muscle testing allows us to connect with the soul fragment that accompanies each of us on our life’s journey, bypasses our egos and asks for accurate information on which to base our treatments. There are a number of methods that you will be taught, for they will be used to diagnose at every stage.

The Aura, Tibetan 8, and Chakras are essential building blocks if we want to help anyone to heal. It is fair to say that unless they are in a state of balance, any therapeutic treatments of whatever modality will be based on quicksand.

Here is one older video. I have since moved on and improved my interactions with clients, the core remains the same.

The aura is taken for granted around our bodies, however, as a result of traumas, shocks even drugs it can be almost non-existent in varying parts of the body you will be taught how to identify and repair.

When we have accidents which are not fully experienced, tissue trauma can create energetic blocks that will interfere with any future healing endeavours. You will be taught how to identify and clear such blocks.

Clearing Blockages in the Chakras is an essential part of healing, It is fair to say that not much progress can ensue without re-establishing the flow. In this workshop, you will be taught how to find out if there are any Chakra blockages and how to help clients to release them.

As in 5 Element Acupuncture, less can be more. You will be taught how to effectively find Acupuncture points that the client needs balancing and how to effectively tonify / sedate / moxibustion with acupressure.

It is not my intent to spook anyone, and yet it has to be said. To work with muscle testing with another human being or even oneself is to engage with a Higher Intelligence, Some kinesiologists will say that they work with the body’s intelligence. Others with their Higher self. At the end of the day, you will be left with no doubt that there is more to a human being than just a mechanical vehicle.
