'C H A I' :

METHOD OF SELF HEALTH DEVELOPMENT

This whole method is based upon focusing on the one point in your body that feels most obstructed.

You can focus on it mentally and use your fingertips to help focus on it.

Even if your fingertips aren't on the point you can use them from a distance to connect to the point.

The entire Method should revolve around opening up the one point.

Even if you have a bunch of areas that are a mess, just focus on the central point and everything will connect through it.

The Method I am teaching is something you practice until it becomes natural.

What are we practicing?

We are practicing a way to work on our own health, our own life force, our own life.

Basically, it could be practiced with every breath from here forth.

It is too good to miss any chance to practice.

It's not that we 'should' practice or we should 'feel bad' if we don't practice.

Conversely, it's just a great thing to get into, and when we start

we will likely realize that it is something we do not want to live without!

Now learning the Method is of course best live,

but we work with clientelle via correspondence

(email, IM and snail mai)

as well as telephone consultation.

We include the writings below to give you a sense of the work...

A lot of this method is about SOUND VIBRATION.

'Vibes.'

When we make sounds we can hear how our sound is incomplete and 'off'.

We can hear what is restricted in our voice, and we can hear where our sound is stuck.

We have to listen to our own expression

and hear what is 'off' and what is incomplete.

It really does not matter

and it is in fact contrary to the Method

to be overly concerned about what others think of our expression.

Of course there is a crucial place for how our expression is received,

but how many people are chained in repression, etc...?

So when we are vocalizing let's

OPEN UP THE JAW!

You can feel all that horrid tension in your jaw,

and that must be worked out in order for the life to flow.

Next, SUSPEND THE TOP OF THE HEAD

as if it's being pulled by a string upwards.

Let all your body

MOVEMENT

be from the inner center of the body.

Instead of having your body move separately,

we are going to train only to move the very inside of the body

and let the outer limbs follow.

RELAX completely.

No matter what comes up- and everything will!- keep relaxing through it!

USE YOUR HANDS.

There are limitless self healing techniques using your hands

which we can get into in time.

In general, constantly use your hands to work on your own health!

AWARENESS OF THE BREATH. breathe fully.

Trial and error.

Holding it in. Holding it out. Breathing slower. Deeper. More gently.

More power. More grace.

Make every word, and sound, and song you make with

FEELING.

There is no end to going deeper into the heart.

Part of FEELING is FEELING as in feel the sensation inside yourself.

Feel where you feel blocked and numb and FEEL INSIDE THERE!

You have to 'feel to heal.'

The concept of AUDIENCE

is very different than how you might think of it if you were rehearsing for some performance.

In another way it's the same.

Here just have the idea that you are not overly inwardly focused.

You are working on yourself, but that self is much of the time, in life, going to be in contact with other people.

Your 'performance' is basically the way that you are when you are with other people.

We are training to be 100% real but also 100% subtle.

10-

MEANING.

Move and make sounds in a way that have the most meaning for you.

What does that mean? You have to know for yourself. It changes. Go deeper and deeper.

We'll come back to this and a lot of things.

But in other words, it's against the rules to just 'go through the motions.'

11-

ANATOMY.

Feel your anatomy. Pay attention to your anatomy.

G-d gave you this miraculous body.

Learn how to use it.

12-

FUTURE.

There is always an element of training for your future,

whether you have a vague notion of the future approaching

or a very exact thing you are preparing for.

Be in the moment without getting lost in it.

We all have great battles ahead and are training for them.

13-

SMOOTHNESS.

Don't be a 'jerk.'

Consciously make all your movement, sounds, etc, exactingly smooth.

14-

CONTINUITY.

You will often have the impulse to break whatever 'flow' you are in.

Resist the urge to be scattered and quit or focus on a less central process.

This Method demands your all but it will become you in time, and you will be glad to have progressed.

Almost everyone needs to be coached in the beginning to 'get in the groove'.

The longer you can practice in one continuous masterful session,

the deeper you will go in.

15-

EXPANSION.

Let your whole body continually expand.

Everyone lives at various states of pathological contraction, tenseness, etc...

Physically OPEN UP! Stretch! Jump around and stretch your lung capacity!

Lift your head as if the top will touch the ceiling.

16-

SUPPORT

your proper breathing by feeling the alignment of your pelvis.

When practicing standing, tuck your tailbone down to point to the ground so that your lower back is flat.

Be loose and relax and drop your weight.

17-

RHYTHM.

Find your rhythm. You can 'cheat' by using recorded music and working with it.

Our heart and our whole system works with rhythm.

Attention to this will support all the points we are developing.

18-

FIRE.

Feel inside yourself what you are most burningly 'psyched' about.

If you are like most people it is unfortunately very very buried.

Dig it up. Connect to it.

This whole work is to bring your life towards the pure version

of whatever true direction you are most wanting to go.

19-

ROOT DOWN.

Drop all your physical weight, your center of gravity, down down down to the center of the earth.

Stand tall and drop all your weight onto your thighs.

Let your upper body dance free and take all your weight on your thighs.

The center of the earth is a long way down, so keep droppin!

20-

THINK DEEPER.

Even deeper than the center of the earth is the center of your mind. Think. Think!

The goal here is to express yourself completely, so of course deeper and deeper thought is required.

21-

GO TO NATURE.

Whenever possible practice this method out in nature.

22-

SLOW DOWN.

As you are basically rebirthing your world with this method,

the slower you practice, the faster you will create a new way of being in your world.

To go fast, slow down!

This whole method is based on a very healthy dissatisfaction with your present life

You can feel what's off and you are training to get closer and closer to 'where it's at.'

Ok, so you have the general outline of a Method, but now what do you do?

Like with all music, you can either IMPROVISE ie. DO YOUR OWN THING

or PLAY STANDARDS.

We'll focus on IMPROVISATION for now.

However, if you already have something you do like daily prayers or music you play,

or in actuality, anything, then you can obviously work this method into that.

The basic IMPROVISATION you can do in this method is to

speak or sing directly to G-d in your own words or tunes.

If G-d 'isn't your thing', then you can work the Method with another focus.

Don't stress out...we'll get into this all in time.

This method is basically stunningly easy and stunningly difficult.

It's difficult because we are demanding that you demand of yourself your truest expression.

And it's easy because deep down we can all feel how we are off and we inside have the constant desire to work on it in a way we like.

Practice, report back, and we'll see!
