Issue Number 29, Summer 2000 of The Main Central Jin Shin Jyutsu Newsletter contains an article about SEL 19.  The article is based on comments received in response to the inquiry: Why is Safety Energy Lock 19 included in the anchor steps of both the Umbilicus and Diaphragm Function Energy flow patterns?

For readers who have taken at least one 5-day Seminar, you will want to look at Text 2. If you haven’t taken a 5-day Seminar as yet, you can look at the Safety Energy Lock Figure in this category. Or I could tell you: SEL 19 is located on the inside of the elbow more on the thumb side, however, since each SEL is a 6-inch diameter sphere, it actually covers that whole 6-inch area of the elbow/upper & lower arm.

As we continue, we shall read what Ali Hammer wrote:

“Here are a few ideas as to why Safety Energy Lock 19 is included in the anchor steps of Diaphragm and Umbilicus flows. First, 19 helps the waistline energy, descending and ascending, and both Diaphragm and Umbilicus are involved in helping balance above the waist and below the waist.

19 is one of the “all-inclusive” numbers, being all colors, all musical notes, all planets, etc. Because Diaphragm and Umbilicus are expressions of the totality, the undivided state of the 6th Depth, it seems appropriate that a number containing all the vibrations of the universe would be supporting these flows.

In a similar vein, looking at the numerology, 19 adds up to a 1 which gives us the energy of oneness and unity. These flows are continually bringing us back to the unity of the 6th Depth, the Diaphragm by helping us to perceive the totality and the Umbilicus by recharging the body with energy from the Source.

In ancient wisdom 19 is “collecting” or “collective intelligence”. Paul Foster Case says, “The Collective Intelligence concentrates all the modes of consciousness which have gone before, and combines them together in a new form,” – i.e. it’s about relationship. To collect is to assemble, to bring or come together. The Umbilicus, in bringing warmth and harmony to relationships, is using this Collective Intelligence to make sure all the functions work happily together. The Diaphragm expresses this energy of 19 by assembling the energy of the totality, the vital life force, to create the blueprint, the root of the phenomena of one’s life.

There are other responses ~ since this is FUN, I’ll continue sharing with my next post!
