Waltraud Riegger-Krause shares from the Spring 1998 issue, Number 20:

Safety Energy Lock 17, together with 18 and 19, is manifested on the Diagonal Mediator flow. These 3 energy locks represent spirit, mind and body. 17 is correlated with spirit. Here, a quote from Lao-tzu comes to my mind:

“Mind is the master of form, Spirit is the jewel of the mind.”

This means to me that every thought we think is imbued with spirit. In other words, if we bring the thought to our heart, the home of spirit, the outcome, the action will be in harmony. The DIAGONAL (Mediator) UNIVERSAL HARMONIZING ENERGY is the activating principle, and the 3rd Depth has the same function on another level. The Mediator brings the Trinity into action, into movement, and the 3rd Depth brings the ingredients of the 6th Depth into manifestation in the Order of Creation. Mary sometimes said 3rd Depth is similar to Mediator. Both have the color green. 16 is the first Safety Energy Lock being manifested in the 3rd Depth and means the basis of human activity. So 3rd Depth is one universal force that starts the action of manifestation. 16 is the bridge to this action, and then we go on with 17, the spiritual aspect of this action. Spirit is there first. So as we hold our 17 on the hand, we can harmonize the heart and all heart related projects.

I’ve used 17 together with 18 on people who are close to collapsing. Mary had shown me in class a way of holding 17 on the inside of the hand with one hand, together with 18 on the inside of the thumb with the other hand. After a few minutes they stopped sweating and shaking and went back into harmony. 17 helps all shaking, helps the nerves and supports the spleen function.

Being spirit, 17 has to do with reproduction. We can help all reproduction function projects. It helps to attract the spark to come in if someone wants to get pregnant. 17 brings Intuition. It stops the “trying to”, and brings one into the flow.

We are continuing to read about Safety Energy Lock 17 from issue Number 20, Spring 1998. Here is what Jed Schwartz shared about his experience of SEL 17:

I sit holding my 17’s waiting and hoping for the germination of an idea for this issue of The Main Central. This is one of the functions of 17, as I remember Mary sharing in class. I’m getting very relaxed – mind emptying – and a wonderful peacefulness fills me as I become aware of 17 flowing through me.

Seventeen is located in the valley between the two bumps on the back of the little finger side of the wrist. Certain practices of meditation utilize S.E.L. 17 by resting the wrists with the palms facing upward on the knees, which are in a cross leg or seated position. These postures are supposed to help facilitate a positive openness for meditation, contemplation and reflection.

S.E.L. 17 relates to spirit as well as to reproduction, similar to S.E.L. 13. Seventeen is spirit, the soul; and being an ascending Safety Energy Lock and on the Mediator, it brings forth the action of spirit ascending. Thirteen – the fertility specialist – is a descending Safety Energy Lock and is spirit descending into form.

I remember a client who had great anxiety and a history of mental-emotional stress: she would always fidget by wringing (circling) her wrists, first one and then the other, whether standing, sitting or lying down. She said that the greater the anxiety, the faster she would do this ritual in order to soothe herself.  When I held her 17’s, they were throbbing with a rapid pulse. The suggestion to consciously hold S.E.L. 17 while exhaling helped to soothe her more effectively and activated 17’s harmonizing power.

I am now being the experience of 17, helping creative thinking. Enjoy being 17!

In issue Number 20, Spring 1998, Lynne Pflueger, Jed Schwartz and Waltraud Riegger-Krause share their experience of Safety Energy Lock 17.

Let us read what Lynne Pflueger shared:

Seventeen is intuition. The word intuition reduces numerologically to two. Two is Wisdom. 17/8 is magic. One of the many aspects of living the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu has taught me to listen to the magic of my intuition. Now, I realize my intuition has always been present. In the past I would dismiss it as nonsense, not to be taken seriously as it was unsupported by intellectual knowledge. G.K. Chesterton said, “You can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it.”

Consulting the dictionary I find that intuition is: direct perception of facts, truths, etc. independent of any reasoning process; as immediate cognition of an object not inferred or determined by a previous cognition of same object; or pure, untaught, non-inferential knowledge. On the title page of Text I, Mary refers to “…unencumbered communion with the Creator”. For me this is my intuition talking to me through my mind. The mind is man’s link to the Creator. Seventeen is on the Mediator flow. Mediator will clear the mind of attitudes so that it will be still to receive.

In the tarot, seventeen is the Star, relating to meditation. Dr. Paul Foster Case, in his book The Tarot; A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages, says about 17, “It has been defined as an unbroken flow of knowledge in a particular object…It is a fishing for truth in the depths of the sub-consciousness…It shows the method whereby knowledge of the Great Secret is attained…When we stop thinking, Truth unveils itself to us.” What simple magic to meditate while jumper-cabling energy lock 17, patiently listening for thoughts from the Creator. Mary says, “Just BE and the answer will come.”

Seventeen is reproductive energy. We have the ability to reproduce externally or internally. Life is always flowing and changing. Our cells die and reproduce themselves. 17 is Aquarius which governs the ankles. Energy locks 5 and 16 live on the ankles. Five is putting off the old and putting on the new. Sixteen is transformation; breaking down of existing forms for new ones. Jumper cabling 17 then will help 5 and 16 move us into new perceptions, new thinking, new ways of acting. Studying the Viking Runes, Ralph Blum states that Rune number 17 is movement. This is a rune of transit and transition. Numerologically, the word seventeen reduces to One. One is the prime mover! Jin Shin Jyutsu is awesomely simple magic.
