…about 2nd Depth, the element Air, Safety Energy Lock 15

In the book Zero to Twenty-Six, excerpts from The Main Central, Matthias Roth comments on Safety Energy Lock 15:

“15 is the party at the end of second depth…

From (SEL) 5, man, to (SEL) 14, man, important building has happened in the second depth and now there is Joy. From spirit at the bustline through mind at the waistline we have landed in a laughing happy body at the groin. No valley of tears, no vile nether region waiting to be transcended, the EARTH (15) of Jin Shin Jyutsu is a garden of Joy and Happiness. If it doesn’t feel that way to you, 15 is just the one for you!

As you laugh away sorrow through an open 15, all second depth sadness melts away. In the sun of your happiness new ideas are hatched and old attachments wither ~ with them, the sadness-seeds of major labels melt away. The “fifteened” body lightens up: “my aching back” unloads its dreary bundle, straightens up and stays that way. And heavy legs, once they have laughed their head off, enjoy the lightness of their youthful days. Once your heart is washed in laughter, moving ahead in body, mind and spirit becomes the fun it used to be.

Sticks and stones may hurt my bones but 15’s are there to help me. Broken bones and sprains will hurry back to normal in the champagne-bubble-lightness of an open fifteen. With children laughing several hundred times a day and adults only a few times, you can understand that ‘unless you become like children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven’. It is through joy that we rise back into spirit. So when you feel too stern for laughter or when your doing has weighed you down, just be the holding of your little finger and feel the smile you are rise to the surface.”

…about physics ~ since quantum mechanics is the scientific basis of Jin Shin Jyutsu, I decided to try to wrap my brain around that.

Knowing little or nothing, I first read “The Holographic Universe” by Michael Talbot. That, though simplified for the layperson, required a few readings. I have just begun to read the second suggested book, “The Dancing Wu Li Masters” by Gary Zukav. This is an overview of the New Physics in a basic, easy to understand format. I highly recommend that you, dear readers, obtain these books and enjoy the adventurous journey into awareness and understanding.

I am reading this book with a highlighter in my hand. With full credit to Mr. Zukav, I am going to now quote a couple of his statements:

I thought that physics would be impossible for me to comprehend at my rather advanced age. What do physicists do anyway? “What physicists do, however, is actually quite simple. They wonder what the universe is really made of, how it works, what we are doing in it, and where it is going, if it is going anyplace at all.” “The fact is that physics is not mathematics. Physics, in essence, is simple wonder at the way things are and a divine (some call it compulsive) interest in how that is so. Mathematics is the tool of physics. Stripped of mathematics, physics becomes pure enchantment.”

The author attended a conference where he met Al Chung-liang Huang, a T’ai Chi Master who was leading a workshop. The author reports, “When I studied physics in Taiwan,” said Huang, “we called it Wu Li (pronounced ‘Woo Lee’). It means ‘Patterns of Organic Energy.'” “Wu Li” is the Chinese phrase for physics. It also means “nonsense”, “my way”, “I clutch my ideas”, and “enlightenment”. I posted this explanation for “Dancing Masters” on 9/12/14 in my blog category, “Thoughts”. You an check the archives, if you like.

Telling us that mathematics is the most concise expression of physics, M. Zukav points out that both mathematics and English are languages. All a language can do is talk about an experience. Wu Li Masters know that a description of an experience is not the experience. It is only talk about it. When I read the book, the experience is coming from me, not the book. “Quantum mechanics, for example, shows us that we are not as separate from the rest of the world as we once thought. Particle physics shows us that the “rest of the world” does not sit idly “out there”. It is a sparkling realm of continual creation, transformation, and annihilation. The ideas of the new physics, when wholly grasped, can produce extraordinary experiences. The study of relativity theory, for example, can produce the remarkable experience that space and time are only mental constructions!” “This is the message of the Wu Li Masters: not to confuse the type of dance that they are doing with the fact that they are dancing.”

Jin Shin Jyutsu Physio-Philosophy is like that; it is not the application of technique, but rather the demonstration of art. As we find in Text 1 “…simply Being the channel through which flow infinite aesthetic powers of the Creator.” “Jin Shin Jyutsu Physio-Philosophy lectures and demonstrations offer a way of Being to help MYSELF, help others and to KNOW Cosmic Oneness.”

I invite you to wonder with me and begin to KNOW.

Gassho, I acknowledge that we are one

Namaste, the god in me bows to the god in you

Blessings, may peace fill your lives

…about how skeptical I was when I first heard about Jin Shin Jyutsu

…and how passionate about it I am today; compelled to teach self-help to anyone who will listen.

My post today in the Jin Shin Jyutsu category pretty much says it. I’ve taken 9 five-day classes, several workshops and “Living the Art” class which qualified me to teach self-help. I also belong to a NJ JSJ study group and have just started a local group in my town.

Officially retired now, that is what I do: teach self-help. With gratitude to David Burmeister, I am permitted to teach self-help right here in this blog. I present volunteer classes in and around my community. I teach as I was taught, and as Matthias Roth suggested in today’s post. I teach not as a traditional teacher, but as a master would teach. Not that I am, nor do I think of myself, a master, but I learned the difference in a wonderful book by Gary Zukav; The Dancing Wu Li Masters.

Let me take a step back to explain. As a former EMT and Western medicine believer, when I was introduced to Jin Shin Jyutsu in 2004, quite by “accident”, I permitted a lovely woman to give me a session only because she was so kind and loving. Once on the table, expecting nothing, I was astonished to experience immediate and lasting improvement of several dis-harmonies after only one 50 minute session. I remember saying to myself, “I don’t know what this is and I don’t know how it works, but I’m going to find out.” And I have been on a journey of amazing discovery since then.

One of my early questions to various teachers was, “What is the scientific basis of Jin Shin Jyutsu?” I never got an answer, but was deftly and kindly directed to focus my attention on learning from the textbooks. After two years, I finally asked the correct question, “Is quantum mechanics the scientific basis of Jin Shin Jyutsu?” Now I received affirmation that I was on the right track!

So I added the study of the new physics to my pursuit of understanding Jin Shin Jyutsu Physio-Philosophy. I have to live to be 350 years old in order to wrap my brain around both arts!

The first book I read was “The Holographic Universe” by Michael Talbot. I had to read it twice. It took two years to begin to understand that book. Now I have moved on to Gary Zukav’s book, which is even more astonishing.

Zukav writes, ” The Chinese language does not use an alphabet like western languages. Each word in Chinese is depicted by a character, which is a line drawing (Sometimes two or more characters are combined to form different meanings.) This is why it is difficult to translate Chinese into English. Good translations require a translator who is both a poet and a linguist.

For example, “Wu” can mean either “matter” or “energy.” “Li” is a richly poetic word. It means “universal order” or “universal law”. It also means “organic patterns.” The grain in a panel of wood is Li. the organic pattern on the surface of a leaf is also Li, and so is the texture of a rose petal. In short, Wu Li, the Chinese word for physics, means”patterns of organic energy” (“matter/energy” [Wu] + “universal order/organic patterns” [Li].”)”

“The first (of more than 80) meanings, Wu Li means “Patterns of Organic Energy.” This is the Chinese way of saying “physics.” “The second Wu Li means “My Way.” “The third Wu Li means “Nonsense”. The fourth Wu Li means “I clutch My ideas”. The fifth Wu Li means “Enlightenment”.

I get it! I love it!

As for understanding the term “master”, as opposed to a pattern of learning from the outside inward: 1) simple addition, 2) long division, 3) algebra, 4)physics, 5) subatomic particles ~ the master “…begins from the center and not from the fringe. He imparts an understanding of the basic principles of the art before going on to the meticulous details, and he refused to break down the t’ai chi movements into a one-two-three drill so as to make the student a robot.” “A Master teaches essence. When the essence is perceived, he teaches what is necessary to expand the perception.” “In this way, the Wu Li Master dances with his student.”

This is how I learn, and teach, Jin Shin Jyutsu Physio-Philosophy.

Gassho, Namaste, Blessings.

…about The Invaders

In careless patches through the wood                                                                                                   The clumps of yellow primrose stood,                                                                                                   And sheets of white anemones,                                                                                                                   Like driven snow against the trees,                                                                                                         Had covered up the violet,                                                                                                                            But left the blue-bell bluer yet.

Along the narrow carpet ride,                                                                                                                   With primroses on either side,                                                                                                                 Between their shadows and the sun,                                                                                                     The cows came slowly, one by one,                                                                                                       Breathing the early morning air                                                                                                             And leaving it still sweeter there.

And, one by one, intent upon                                                                                                                   Their purposes, they followed on                                                                                                               In ordered silence…and were gone.

But all the little wood was still,                                                                                                                     As if it waited so, until                                                                                                                                   Some blackbird on an outpost yew,                                                                                                           Watching the slow procession through,                                                                                                       Lifted his yellow beak at last                                                                                                                       To whistle that the line had passed….                                                                                                         Then all the wood began to sing                                                                                                                   Its morning anthem to the spring.

…about The Three Foxes

Once upon a time there were three little foxes Who didn’t wear stockings, and they didn’t wear sockses, But they all had handkerchiefs to blow their noses, And they kept their handkerchiefs in cardboard boxes.

They lived in the forest in three little houses, And they didn’t wear coats, and they didn’t wear trousies. They ran through the woods on their little bare tootsies, And they played “Touch Last” with a family of mouses.

They didn’t go shopping in the High Street shopses, But caught what they wanted in the woods and copses. They all went fishing, and they caught three wormses, They went out hunting, and they caught three wopses.

They went to a Fair, and they all won prizes ~ Three plum-puddingses and three mince-pieses. They rode on elephants and swang on swingses, And hit three coco-nut shieses.

That’s all that I know of the three little foxes Who kept their handkerchiefs in cardboard boxes. They lived in the forest in three little houses, But they didn’t wear coats and they didn’t wear trousies, And they didn’t wear stockings and they didn’t wear sockses.
