It Won't Work for Me

Of all the infuriating responses I have received, when telling my friends about these self healing methods, this must be the best one.

I don’t know why it irks me so much, but at a convenient time after the conversation I’ll take myself off and express the irritation. This brings me back to balance and then I can be more objective to see that for them, there’s probably one hell of a lot of trepidation about working on their stuff.

I can’t say I blame them. I can’t say that I’ve had a ball doing it either. I am, however, most grateful for the changes it has brought to me.

Very few of us get taught about how energy works in our body, how unexpressed emotions can become stuck and how working on them can help us stay physically and emotionally healthy.

You see, the point that I want to make very clear to you is these skills that I have been taught and using the last few years work on the fundamental energy in the body. Once it is unblocked and flowing correctly, all sorts of trauma, past conditioning, stuck emotions, physical and psychic ailments tend to correct themselves

Only most people haven’t experienced this. And I say experienced rather than “know”, because we all tend to conceptualise things. We believe that if we know how something works then we’ll be better equipped to do it. Ironically, energy work doesn’t tend to work like this. We just need to learn and do. I can’t tell you how it feels for your energy to be flowing, you have to experience it for yourself.

I believe people are baffled by this. I may get as far as explaining what I do and how I do it, but then comes this statement “It wont work for me”.

I can’t say why or how people come to this conclusion. The analogy I like to use is that energy work is like going to the gym. If I had a friend who was continually concerned about their weight and fitness, I may suggest that diet and exercise would work for them. In the same way that discipline in these areas would help anyone who is unfit, the same principle is applied to energy work. Better diet and exercise would work for anyone who is out of shape and the same for energy work because it works with the fundamental principles of our metaphysical body. Your unfit body has no choice but to respond if better food and exercise is applied to it, in the same way your unfit energy will change if we work on it using the principles that I have been taught. It works like this because my energy system is no different to yours.

If we learn to disempower the monster and strengthen and balance our flows of fire and water chi then balance will come to our energetic selves. This then has profound effects on our physical and mental state.

Of course I still slack off. It’s like getting out of a gym routine and can be quite hard to get back into it. This is why it’s been majorly helpful to have worked with my teacher. I look at him like an energetic personal trainer. The guy who would kick my arse at the gym as I’m sweating, telling me “Come on 5 more push ups, don’t be weak!”. Of course as the pain of the exercise takes over in that moment I hate him and curse him, but over the weeks as the benefits are observed, I appreciate his way of pushing me beyond what I thought my limits were.

I have a friend who I have tried to encourage to do this course. He seems to have come to a conclusion that these disciplines apply only to people who have emotional problems. To that I would say that most problems be they physical OR emotional come from an incorrect or unbalanced flow of energy through the body. Once the energy is healed physical and mental changes can and will take place.

I have experienced both. See the following blog posts:

“Orgasm and energy work”

“Anger and 2020”

We must all strive to take care of our energetic selves, there is truly so many benefits in doing so. If I can do it, so can you, because hey, our energy works in the same way!!
