The Finger Flows, the Earth Signs

The Finger Flows all correspond to the earth signs in astrology. This is the arena of our practical doing nature, we “do” with our hands. The Earth element is the physical manifestation as the body.

The three Earth Flows are: the Large Intestine – a Surface Flow corresponding to Taurus, the Small Intestine – a Deep Flow corresponding to Virgo, and Capricorn – a Middle Flow corresponding to Umbilicus. The Organs and their corresponding signs sequentially help to reveal man’s evolution in one lifetime.

The Physical bodies are the first phase of development from birth to 28 years. One manifestation of fire/chest, earth/finger, air/face and water/toe comprises one complete circulation at the Surface Level. The Mental or Intellectual development follows the same pattern, corresponding to Middle Age – 29-56 years – and comprises the Deep Flows. The Spiritual Development during “elderage” – age 57-84 – corresponds to the Middle Flows.

Earth Signs, corresponding to the functions of the Finger Flows, describe and “choreograph” the manner in which we are involved in the material world – our survival skills, our work, our service and our administrative abilities. They are supporting our physical bodies at the three different levels: 1) Body-Taurus, 2) Mind-Virgo, and 3) Spirit-Capricorn.

During the Taurus/Large Intestine development phase (7-14 years), the physical body is maturing. The Large Intestine Function Energy begins forming at 6 a.m. and continues to 8 a.m. As this age period concludes, the physical body begins the transition of puberty, reflecting the survival imperative and the final stages of development on the physical level. The correspondence to Taurus in astrology reveals the characteristic of survival awareness on the physical plane. It is during this stage of life that the child can begin to understand and can participate in the development of self-esteem, self-worth, and responsibility. Fourteen is young by our culture’s standards. But even so, I know of several young men who left home at this age to successfully support themselves and accept the responsibility of their security.

The primary need at this level is to be secure physically in the world. It is where our survival instincts meet with practicality and “doing”. In our culture we see that this age is where values begin to develop as influenced by the parents and the immediate social sphere. It is the age where one starts to earn their first money and to participate responsibly in the family – doing chores, babysitting, earning an allowance, etc. In another view, we see devastating examples of children being exploited in situations where as soon as their development allows, they are put to work.

The Winter Solstice

continued…

All of the recent interest in the 2012 phenomenon is alluding to the alignment of our solar system to the heart of the galaxy, the heart of God/Source. This positioning is undoubtedly responsible for the experience of time speeding up as more and more “light” is available. The compression of evolution is experienced as speed when the period we know as the “Bridge” is peaking. The Mayan calendar and the Hopi prophecies are both credited with earmarking this time period and event. The Mayan’s calendar has a finite timeframe, which has led many to speculate that it means the end of the world. To quote the rock musicians REM, it is “The End of the World as We Know It.” Many Christian-based philosophies are targeting this period as the apocalypse as predicted in the Bible, which seems to coincide with that type of interpretation. The Hopi prophecy centers on a belief that we are coming to the end of an age. There will be purification, in the form of destruction and death in order to make way for a new world.

I would like to put the events of the Solstice and the upcoming speculation about 2012 into a broad astrological perspective. In April of 2011 Neptune entered the sign of Pisces, its ruling position. It will be a fourteen-year period in which man will start to believe in belief; he will begin to understand the true nature of his spiritual beingness. Man can begin to understand that religion does not necessarily fulfill or constitute his spiritual connection, nor do philosophies and higher studies. In 2025 Neptune will have ended its transit through Pisces and will enter Aries. This event will initiate the opportunity for man to experience and express himself as an “independent” spiritual being. These events and developments in human evolution all have a foundation in the powerful alignment of the 2012 Solstice, when we will experience the strongest “signal” from the heart of our galaxy. This is due to relative positions of the earth, sun, solar system, star systems and galaxy. The scale of this time is beyond my imagination. Many believe that this light/photon transmission became significant in the 1980s.

To recap: The “Bridge”, our umbilical cord from the earth to the heart of the galaxy, our God/Source, is peaking in the strength of its alignment. I believe the Solstice,  combined with the lunar eclipse on the Solstice of 2010, were events that signified the power and timing of this connection. The establishment of this alignment is stimulating a profound acceleration in evolution, strengthening and bringing forth the consciousness in man evolving his ability to comprehend that his personal destiny and potential is directly sourced from the “Heart of God”. This is profoundly important in man’s realization that he has a direct link, a “Bridge” to Source, and need not be limited or inhibited in this connection by formal religions, spiritual leaders, or institutions of any kind. Man is a spiritual being and has within him the BRIDGE to connect the lowest form of Spirit to the highest form of Matter.

The Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice of 2012 has been the focus of endless attention. The Mayan and Hopi calendars and the Bible in the Western Hemisphere are major sources for  speculation which have become a bandwagon for a wide range of traditional and new age philosophies as well as doomsday dramas. I am offering an in-depth look at the Sixth Depth, specifically the Umbilicus, which corresponds to the sign Capricorn and the Winter Solstice, in response to the interest in the upcoming Solstice next year.

Specific to the Solstice, I recall Mary saying one of the true gifts of Jin Shin Jyutsu was the designation and understanding of the Sixth Depth, the Umbilicus Function Energy and Diaphragm Function Energy Flows. These are unique by name to Jin Shin Jyutsu and are the focus of this study. Their significance is available because of Mary’s penetrating and brilliant understanding of the function of the Sixth Depth as THE BRIDGE that links the physical body with the universal spirit body.

The Sixth Depth represents the pair of organ function flows that manifest as the Umbilicus, the female receptive aspect paired with the masculine creative expression as the Diaphragm. By naming the Umbilicus Function Flow literally, Mary has given us direct access to the significance of the umbilicus and its functions in multiple dimensions, depths.

On the physical level, the umbilical cord functions as the connection between the embryo and the mother for life sustenance in gestation.

On the “blueprint” or etheric level, the Umbilicus Flow pathway maintains the vital connection to the Spirit and Light of the Seventh Depth, supporting our manifested physical body.

The Sixth Depth is the Bridge that connects our individualized being to the life force support from the Seventh Depth. The integrity of our connection from our “Highest Form as Spirit” to our “Lowest Form as Body” is maintained throughout all Eight Depths. The Sixth Depth is the important step in “bridging” the connection from the un-manifest to the manifested body through the Diaphragm and Umbilicus Function Energy. This is the continual sustenance that enlivens our being. The Diaphragm Function Energy is the Spiritual aspect of the breath (the capital B Breath of Life), supplying the “Prana”, the Spiritual Fire or Spark from the Seventh Depth to our individualized Spirit. The Umbilicus Function Energy is the “lifeline” connecting our Physical body to the Seventh Depth. In metaphysical studies it is called the “silver cord”. During the night when we leave our physical bodies through astral travel, our connection needs to be maintained. The Umbilicus Function Energy connects our individualized earthly body with our individual spiritual Source.

We experience the Sixth Depth, the umbilicus and diaphragm, on daily, monthly, yearly and epochal levels. It is the macrocosmic view of the umbilicus or “bridge phase”, that has been the backdrop and theme that is being referred to as the event of our solar system and earth coming into alignment with the heart of the galaxy.

For many, the belief is that this will be exact on December 21, 2012. I have no “scientific” way to confirm this event or this year. However, the Solstice marks the initiation of this “bridge period” annually as the sun enters Capricorn which corresponds to the Umbilicus Function Energy. I am speculating that the eclipse occurring on the solstice in 2010 was an emphatic energetic event representing a message heralding the strengthening of our personal and global connection to the heart of the galaxy. In terms that we understand, currently it is the period during which we have the strongest signal – the most “bars” on our receptors – for “transmission” between the heart of the galaxy, our Source, and Earth.
