Instant pain relief?

Lately I’ve been playing with a technique that seems to have the capacity to resolve pain - even intense pain - within minutes.  Not every single time, but often enough for me to expect that it will work most of the time.   The best part is that as I guide people through it, it teaches them how to resolve pain on their own.  

Here’s the short version of how I do it -
I’ll have the person put their attention on the location of their pain. In their shoulder, say.  Then I have them find a place in their body where there is no pain. (say, in their nose or hand.) I then ask them to hold in their awareness the contrasting sensations that exist in those two places (2 points) simultaneously. 

“Here it hurts.  Here it feels wonderful.  Both are true.”

 I’ll have them move their attention back and forth between the two places.   From a Matrix Energetics perspective, this is a version of the ‘two-point’ technique.

Sometimes as hold the two points in their awareness at the same time, they notice themselves feeling a bit odd, or say that the two points are changing.  Sometimes the sensations  start to ‘merge’. 

Other times, I’ll have them try to see if they can notice that the sensation of ’no-pain’ can spread.  Even towards and through or underneath or woven in between the area where there is pain.   To see if they can find the ’no-pain’ sensation within the same location as the pain.  Even in brief glimpses. 

They usually waffle back and forth a bit at first, but eventually notice that they can either attend to either pain or the no-pain in that location.  It mostly depends which they put their attention on.   Almost inevitably, if they let themselves stop checking for the pain and instead start to relax into or ‘favor’ the no-pain, the pain starts to diminish.  After awhile, if they can overcome any refusal to believe that it could disappear that quickly, the pain becomes inaccessible.    Gonzo.

From a Law of Attraction perspective, the explanation for this is that many ‘vibrational frequencies’ (or feelings) exist as possibilities all the time.  By consciously and deliberating shifting where we put our attention, we can directly alter what is ‘most real’.   

 Try it for yourself. 

Or, here’s an offer.  I’d love to post an audio recording in which I lead someone through this process.  If you want to be the person I do that with, contact me at wendy@wendydown.com.

PS.  I had someone try this same approach with the feeling of a head cold coming on. He found the sensation of ‘no-head cold’ first in his hand then gradually he could find the sensation higher up his arm and eventually right mixed in with the cold sensation in his head. When he was able to stay attended to the no-head cold sensation in his head, the symptoms were no longer accessible and the cold never appeared.

Right/left brain integration?

If you’re into exploring consciousness and haven’t yet seen this videoclip of a neuroscientist who’s stroke revealed more fully who we really are as humans, do yourself a favor and take the time to watch it.

As I read it, I was reminded of a prediction I read 18 months ago on Lightworker.com which sounded to me like what Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor may have been experiencing during her stroke.  Here’s an excerpt from that Oct/06 message: 
“There is the rewiring of mankind which is beginning.  The two halves of the brain that had to be separate to give you the illusion of the field of duality are starting to join together.  Instead of having small, synaptic pathways that move back and forth between the halves, as you evolve as humans, the two halves will become one.  The illusion and the veil actually exist between the two halves of your brain, for the left side is the marker of time. It gives you the illusion of living in a field of duality and gives you the illusion of linear time, which gives you a path to follow.  It gives a spirit a game to play as a human.  Your right brain is the all-creative brain but does not have any concept of time. It has no concept of boxes that things fit into.  That is the other side of the brain.  Those two are beginning to grow stronger with this rewiring.  It is not simply a case of new or improved synaptic pathways between the two; it will be a blending of the two as the human animal evolves to contain a higher vibration of spirit…for it is not the human that is evolving.  It is the spirit that is evolving, causing the human shell, the bubble of biology, to change to accommodate it.  That is happening now…”
So what’s the deal?  Is there some truth to this?  Are our brains in the process of evolving to a new, more integrated state in which we can simultaneously experience ourselves as individuals while also living consciously in the state of Oneness, peace and connection that Dr. Bolte Taylor - and many others describe?     I’m not sure, but its what we talked about and practiced experiencing on the Consciousness Playground call that I hosted today.     If you want to hear the call or be part of the conversation, you can do both by joining the Consciousness Playground Community.  

Or keep checking back in here.   I’ll make posts about it from time to time.

Energy Medicine - the wave of the future

Reggi Shelley and I

I returned home yesterday morning at 4am (Yawn) from a Matrix Energetics seminar in Baltimore.   If you haven’t heard of it yet, Matrix Energetics is a fast-growing, simple to learn way to access the quantum or zero point field and effect massive transformation.   

I kid you not.  Its a phenomenon that’s just starting to break through.

Reggi Shelley, pictured on the right with me above, is a Master Practitioner of this work and one of the seminar presenters. 

This past weekend, Reggi spontaneously demonstrated a group healing/transformation session in which she wove Matrix Energetics together with her own special magic.  While to the outside observer, Reggi may have appeared to simply be moving her hands randomly in empty space, the impact of what she was doing was noticeably felt by the hundreds of people in the room.   If you’re into consciousness work, this was something not to be missed.  I suspect we’ll be seeing this type of energy medicine taught and practiced more and more as its dramatic, and often instantaneous results are documented.

 I’m lucky that Reggi is my co-teacher in the Immersion Study Group Program I offer.   If your curious to see whether you can feel the type of energy ’shift’ we felt with Reggi this past weekend, Click here and you’ll find an audio clip of a Advanced Level Immersion Study Group teleclass that Reggi and I recently did.  If you’re at all sensitive to energy you may be surprised by how palpable the shift is on the recording. 

That, incidently, is why we decided to offer a Recordings Option to participate in that program.  Listening to the Recordings is like being there, because time and space don’t matter.  For details about that program and a chance to regularly hang out with Reggi and I and some other pretty cool folks, Click here.
