Hand-y Work

Carpals.
Metacarpals.
Phalanges.

Hands.

Sensitive information gatherers of my world. The world of fascia, muscles and soft tissue. As a body worker and healer, along with my heart, they are my most precious tools. Objects of wonder.

My hands have eyes and ears and a mouth. Oh, they're not visible to others. That would be quite scary. But, I know they are there. They see and listen to what the body I'm working on needs. They tell me what to do.

Soft tissue speaks. Perhaps "communicates" is a better word. It makes its injuries and wishes known to those who can become still enough to hear. As I work, I don't need to see with my physical eyes. For me it is better to shut out any external stimulus that could confuse my senses and intuition. Shutting my eyes, I disengage my brain and let my hands wander the hills and dales of muscles, tendons and bones.

I feel the tissue become warm and malleable as the blood comes into an area. I find trigger points, round, hyper-irritable spots, in the muscles. I sense pulses, softer than a whisper. Pulses different than those of the heart and the breath. Pulses that traumatized tissues send as invitations to my hands causing them to linger until the pain and throbbing ceases. Spasmed muscles melt under my hands as I coax them into submission. I can feel a headache through my fingertips. My hands know the instant the body relaxes, lets go of the outside world and moves into the calm "eye of the storm" that is always within us.

People thank me when I am done. I take no credit. I am only the open vessel through which the Creator sends this flow of healing energy. The conduit. The channel.

I am humbled by my gift.
I give thanks every day.

I am in awe of my hands.

Healing Coning Script 1

 

In this post, I had planned to script a coning for an animal. But in response to a number of questions I received in my last post, I have decided to write it for either human or animal healing. I will attempt to make the process as simple as possible. It is truly a lot easier to perform than it is to read. This work is based on that of Machelle Small Wright.

 

Nature Healing Coning for Human Beings or Animals

For family, friends, companion animals or pets

 

Find a quiet place where you can sit or lie comfortably for a while. Get into a meditative, or contemplative, state. An easy way to do this is simply to focus on your breath. Close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Visualize your inhale breath as one color and your exhale breath as another. Just watch the breaths for a few rounds as you allow all of your muscles to relax. As you feel more and more relaxed with each breath, your awareness and focus will expand. If odd thoughts pop up, simply observe them and let them pass through. Remain free of picking them up and getting caught up in them.

 

1. Open a healing coning by simply asking, aloud or to yourself, to be connected to:
   
   1. For Human Healing: Yahweh, Jesus, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, Devas (gods/deities) of Human healing, Goddesses of healing such as Hecate, Panacea or Mercy, any of the angels, the Elementals, or any other spiritual beings who guide you.
      
   2. For Animal Healing: Pan and/or spirits of nature working with the animal, the Deva of Animal Healing, or any other spiritual beings who guide you .
      
   3. In both cases: To your higher self
      
   4. In both cases: To the higher self of the human being or animal.
      
2. Relax, breathe and allow about 15-20 seconds for the coning to fully activate and come together.
   
3. Explain to the guides, as completely as possible, what you know or observe about the person's or the animal's situation. Let the coning work for about 30 minutes while you relax and think about the being you are helping. The information you give the guides lets them know how much you understand about the problem. Since you will be helping in the healing, they need to know your level of knowledge.
   
4. During this time, you may hear, see, feel or sense that there is something you are to do or check. If you get such a message, ask the coning if your intuition is right.
   
5. At the end of the 30 minutes, ask the coning any questions that may have arisen during that time. Do you need to assist the being in any way? Does the being need medical attention? If so, does another coning need to be done after the visit? Does the being's nutrition need to be changed or assessed? How, when and for how long? If the being doesn't need to go for medical attention, do there need to be additional healings? How many and how long? Keep asking questions until you have all the information you need. Ask the questions in basic yes or no format. Wait for the answer to come to mind. This is not your imagination. Trust your instincts, although, I know this is hard in the case of a novice healer. If you know kinesiology, you can perform muscle testing.
   
6. Using kinesiology, if you know it, test for flower essence administration. If not, don't worry. What you have already done is completely beneficial. It will take several subsequent posts to explain muscle testing and flower essences.
   
7. The session is over. Now it is important to dismantle the nature healing coning. This is done by asking the participants to disengage, one- by -one (the guides/your high self/the being's high self) from the coning. Honor them as you give each participant approximately 5 seconds to depart. Test yourself with flower essences or divine guidance to make sure you are clear.
   

It is important to remember that the energy utilized in the coning is not your energy. You are not doing anything to anyone. This healing energy belongs to us all. It is our birthright. You are simply a willing conduit of unconditional love and healing for another being. This work is easy to do. You are not tampering with free will or Voodoo. You will do no harm. Give your healing side a chance to express itself. We all
have the ability and you will help another in the process. A-ho!

The Cone of Power

In my last post, I wrote about a healing technique called coning. This is how coning works. The cone of power is raised to collect, form, concentrate and send psychic energy. Without direction, energy either dissolves without outcome or deteriorates into nervous tension. Energy can be raised in many ways such as meditation, prayer, chanting, music, or dancing. Coning can either be done with a group or by an individual. It strengthens the transformation of the events and the Be-ings for which it is raised.

Basically, the cone is a visualization. A highly charged thought-form, the cone gains power and life during ceremony or worship. It is the focus of the group power or individual mind. It is a force that can change things in the world. The cone contains all the energy and focus that is generated during the ceremony and, as an image, is directed toward making the change that is desired. This image is directed by visualization into such shapes as cones, spirals, bubbles, fireworks, or waterfalls. The cone is then sent out into the universe, or to God/Goddess, or sent out and brought back to serve the receptive individuals.

In the first stage, the energy is concentrated and raised. There are a number of ways this is done. Sound is one of the ways. The sound is created with drums, rattles, chants, singing, or toning. The energy is also raised to high frequency through meditation, prayer and visualization. As the tension of the energy increases, the cone raises and the intensity and speed of the sound escalates. The energy is raised to its highest pitch, and before it begins to fade, the sound is quickly stopped. The cone is then visualized as going out into the universe. Alternately, the cone's energy can be visualized as going out, coming back and entering into the forms of those who have need. Visualize the purpose and wishes that are in need of enhancement as the cone's energy enters the body. To allow the transformations to take place, with willing acceptance, draw the energy within.

During the visualization, the cone is seen as fireworks or rockets spraying out into the universe and then the colors being drawn into the heart or chakras of the participants. If the cone is seen as a waterfall, the energy rising and falling is absorbed inward. If the cone is viewed as a bubble, the orb of light surrounds and is breathed by the recipients. The energy of the cone as a spiral aspect sends swirls from the Earth to the Universe and back again, holding the wishes for transformation and transmutation.

In the next stage, after the cone of power is raised and released to do its work, the energy is grounded. In this powerful silence, bend, or sit, and touch the palms of the hands to the floor or ground. Hold them there for a few minutes. The forehead can also be touched to the ground. This is sometimes called "earthing the energy." The reason is to discard any energy that remains. There is no harm in losing energy that is desired or positive, but it can get uncomfortable if not cleared. One can become emotional, have trouble sleeping, or even become tense or angry for no apparent reason.

Extra unreleased energy can manifest as nervous tension. Grounding is a good way to prevent overloading the circuits as there is a huge amount of energy that passes through the bodies and Be-ings during a coning session. Nothing needed is ever lost and grounding is a good way to bring energy back into balance. Sometimes a small amount of food is used by participants to fully bring them back from between worlds and to this Earth plane. But touching the ground with the hands does the same thing and should always be done. See or feel the energy leaving your hands and entering the Earth. Direct the energy to heal the Earth.

In the final stage, any gods, God, Goddess, Devas, elementals, directions, or guides that answered the invitation to assist, are thanked and released. Coning is a simple, harmless and profound way to work many miracles. If you initiate the ceremony of coning or prayer with good intent and a sense of humor, as well as a sense of reverence, all will be well.

Give it a whirl.
