For the past few weeks we have been looking at The Main Central publications that offer great insight into the contents of Text 2. Issue Number 45, Summer 2004 contains an article by Susan Brooks that has been very helpful to me – so I’ll share the information (with thanks to David for giving me permission) and at the same time remind my wonderful readers that you can obtain a copy of this issue, and all past issues, from the Scottsdale office; http://www.jsjinc.net. There is other information in this issue that would benefit any student of  Jin Shin Jyutsu.

Fourth depth: Bladder and Kidney Organ Function Energy

“Fourth Depth: As Mary says, “Be the awareness and understanding of the Divine energy. Simply do not get in the way.” Do not obstruct the flow of life, be in it. This is Fourth Depth. When we experience effortless reality, synchronicity, a sense of overall well-being, this is what we call FLOW – the element water. A harmonious Fourth Depth is like a peaceful, easy feeling washing over us as we float downriver in a canoe on a clear, sunny day, gently being guided by the contours of the water.

When our life is in harmony, we are aware of easy communication between the worldly and spiritual realms. The information and connection between worlds continually uplift us and are vital to the transformation each breath brings us.

Mary stresses that when things start to go our way, it is usually because we stop going the wrong way down a one-way street. Ever been in a boat paddling against the current or into the wind? There is much effort, little movement, with the feeling of being stuck. Safety Energy Lock 23, the Fourth Depth helper, keeps us from getting stuck in the muck of life, giving us the boost we need to move forward, back to the FLOW.

On the 3rd or 4th day of a 5-day series of sessions I received from Mary (after daily bulls-eyeing various stubborn chords paralleling my spine), she said, “I keep emptying this out (my back), and you keep filling it up again.” Mary’s comment continues to be a reminder of the importance of consciously choosing our response to life – with love, breath and calm – or with fear. Choosing fear will continue to result in accumulations in the back (the 8 lines of energy, with the Kidney and Bladder Function Energy combined).

F E A R – the attitude of the Fourth Depth, is the nutrition for a litany of effects. In Text 2, page 25, Mary tells us that F E A R is false evidence appearing real. I have a longtime Jin Shin Jyutsu friend who no longer says the word “fear”, she spells it out loud instead, affirming the illusory aspect of it. “Fear takes thousands of lives, whereas disorder itself takes only hundreds.” Especially with the sophistication of modern media spreading terror stories worldwide, within a matter of seconds, holding the index finger is as essential as ever.”
