***********

So let’s look at the movement of the Breath that takes place when we do/be a flow.

The number 1 Flow is helping us to exhale, connecting the extreme height with the extreme depth, helping the front descending energy, breathing and head discomforts.

When we look at the steps of the sequence or routine, we are holding Safety Energy Lock 1 with one hand and Safety Energy Lock 2 with the other hand. When Jiro Murai created the flows, he knew that in order to exhale – Safety Energy Lock 1 – we also need to inhale – Safety Energy Lock 2. We are pulling the Energy/Breath down the front and up the back – one of the basic principles of Jin Shin Jyutsu.

To further support the Breath moving down the front, we are then moving from Safety Energy Lock 1 to Safety Energy Lock 5, pulling it even further down, releasing all fears and insecurities. The other hand still remains on Safety Energy Lock 2 to bring up the back whatever is being released down the front. The last step is finally moving from Safety Energy Lock 5 to Safety Energy Lock 7, perfect life power, victory. In the 7 we are perfect.

The Breath has come down all the way to be expressed in the body. From here (at 7) it can move up again. So the main focus of this flow is to clear the way of the Energy/Breath down the legs and to support the work of Safety Energy Lock 1.

The 2 Flow has its focus on moving the Energy/Breath up the back, to help the inhalation. It is used when the legs are full and heavy and we want to bring the Energy/Breath up to support hip and back. In order to fulfill this work, we are holding Safety Energy Lock 2 – Life Force for all creatures, wisdom, inhalation helper – with the same side Safety Energy Lock 6 in the first step. Again we are supporting the inhalation of the body by using a Safety Energy Lock that balances the exhalation, because these two movements of the Breath are dependent on each other. The next step is supporting the inhalation and the connection from above to below and from below to above, number 8, bringing us into a cosmic rhythm. Now, again, supporting of  the exhalation with the next step, we are moving to the opposite Safety Energy Lock 5. Whenever we are moving to the opposite side of the body, we are incorporating the Mediator Activity Principle. Safety Energy Lock 2, which stands for all dualistic forces in our life, needs some movement to get out of the one-sided view of life, and at the same time the 5 is supporting man by releasing fear.

Now with the following steps, we are supporting the Energy/Breath moving up the back by using Safety Energy Lock 9, 26, 3 and 4. We are clearing the pathway for inhalation and pulling the Energy/Breath up the back.

In just looking at these two flows we can understand how the Number Flows of Text 1 work in relation to moving the Breath through the body by using aspects of the Supervisory and Mediator Flows.

Thank you, Waltraud.

Thank you, Mary.

Thank you, Master Jiro.

Thank you, David.

Almost all of the number flows in Text 1 are using Safety Energy Locks on both sides of the body. The crossroads that are used are either parts of the Mediator Energy Flow Pattern or parts of the Supervisory Energy Flow Pattern. Even our Supervisory Flows have two places where they have an additional bridge, crossing to the other side of the body. One is about the 4s (at center) and one is at the pubic bone. I remember Mary saying in her classes that every time a flow is crossing to the other side of the body, Mediator Energy is being used. And sometimes she said that the Mediator is part of the Supervisory Flows…it is the Activating Principle of the Supervisory Flows.

Almost every flow in Text 1 is crossing to the other side of the body. Whenever a flow is crossing, it is passing and kissing the Main  Central Vertical Universal Harmonizing Energy.

It is getting in contact with the energy of the blue print. Every time it is crossing, it is being reminded of the silent pulse of perfect harmony in the heart of every being, in the blueprint of every cell. The perfection is there in everybody, but is hidden from us – we can’t see it – we can’t feel it. This makes us search.

Checking the high 4s once in a while is very important to allow the energy to cross over…clearing the 15s all the way to the pubic bone as well.

Also doing a Mediator Flow to clear all the crossroads will be very vital.

Let’s look at the Supervisory Flow itself. We all know that the energy pathway of the Supervisor is flowing down the front and up the back on the same side of the body. However in the application of the sequence or routine of the Supervisory Flow on page 50 of Text 1, we are pulling the Energy/Breath over to the opposite front of the body and then back to the original side again. That means we are using the bridge above the 4 as well as at the pube.

The knowing about this weaving of the Energy/Breath is built into the flows. We don’t need to strain our minds. In the application of the Supervisor Flow we are helping the Energy/Breath to weave and to move to the other side – using part of Mediator which helps us to get out of duality and being stuck. “If a project is no moving – look to the Attitudes.” – Mary

About two months ago I started teaching the expanded 5-day class in my hometown, Isny, Germany. There I was asked a question which is coming up in classes repeatedly: “What is the flow path of the number flows from Text 1?”

The number flows in Text 1 are all working with the Trinity Flows. Besides their meaning according to the number that is given to each flow, they all have a certain flow route along the Supervisor Flows, Mediator Flows and Main Central Flow. their flow pattern is different from the flow pattern of the Organ Flows. There is not a river of energy going from one place to another one, for example, as in the Lung Flow from the chest to the thumb and to the index finger. All the number flows are a sequence or routine of numbered Safety Energy Locks that are located on the Supervisor and/or on the Mediator Flow and/or Main Central Flow. I like to use a picture to give an example. Let’s imagine our Trinity Flows are musical instruments, because they create a certain vibration of energy when we work on them. For example, Main Central could be the flute, Supervisors could be a piano and the Mediators could be a violin. Then each of the flows in Text 1 would be like a piece of music played by one or more of these instruments.

For example, the 1 Flow uses a selection of Safety Energy Locks that are all located on the Supervisor Flow on one side of the body. That would mean we would play a song by just using the piano.If we do a number 2 Flow, we are using a sequence of Safety Energy Locks that are located on both sides of the body. Whenever the flow pattern is crossing over to the other side of the body, we are using part of Mediator Flow as a crossover. In this case we would play a piece of music using a piano and a violin. We are creating a different vibration than with the 1 Flow.

If we do a number 4 Flow, where we are using coccyx and T.V. 8 which are located at the Main Central Energy pathway, we would play a piece of music using the flute (the steps of the Main Central), the piano (the steps on the Supervisor), and also the violin, because we are crossing over to the other side.

Mary said Jiro Murai was a mathematician, and he was also playing with words.

All the so-called routines in both of our Texts are based on mathematical calculations and, therefore, are in Harmony with the Universe. All routines are perfect.

Numbers are expressing Principles of life, vital impulses of the Cosmos.

Numbers, Colors and Tones are all vibrations.

The flows have a meaning according to the numbers. But let us now look at the sequence of the flow – how is the Energy/Breath being guided through the body?

***********

Debbie called for a Jin Shin Jyutsu appointment in May. I was leaving for a five-week trip so after much back and forth we ended up scheduling an appointment two months down the road. She never said why she wanted to come other than she had a lot of stressful things going on in her life.

The day before her appointment it occurred to me to call her to remind her but a little voice told me not to. I thought, “If she comes, great; if not, it isn’t meant to be.”

The next day Debbie showed up at 10 a.m. for her appointment. She seemed a little flustered as she walked into my office. She put her things down and turned to me and said, “I wanted to cancel this appointment, but I couldn’t find your number. I’ve been looking for it for two weeks. So, I’m here, but I’m not sure why.”

My decision not to call her the day before seemed more interesting. I thought about how mysterious destiny can be. I had no idea why she came. I was impressed that she actually showed up at all. It just seemed like it was meant to be for reasons neither of us could see. I didn’t really have anything to say. So after an awkward silence, I asked, “Is there anything you want to tell me?” I didn’t know if she was going to stay or leave, talk or get on the table. So I just let it be and waited. Something in me told me to just be still and listen.

Debbie started talking. She told me she had been a healer for many years and had worked with a lot of well-known people in the field. She had grown tired of the whole thing – the whole premise of leading a deep and spiritual life, evolving towards something bigger and better, learning lessons while on this journey towards aspiring to greater spiritual heights, ultimately wanting things to be different. “I just want to face life as it is, whatever is going on. I want to be in it, living it, rather than trying to be somewhere else. I’m not in a good space right now, but I want to experience where I am, accept how I’m feeling, not trying to make anything better – giving up hope altogether. I’m not here to heal, or have you heal me, or get better. It’s not about anything. So, I don’t know why I’m here.”

I thought for a moment before I said, “I know what you mean. Jin Shin Jyutsu just helps me to be where I am, no matter what is going on.”

Without another word Debbie got on the table. We didn’t speak a word during the treatment. Mary’s words “It is as it is and as it is it is” came alive to me. You can hear something a thousand times, and then all of a sudden you really know what it means…those “aha” moments Mary used to talk about.

In listening to Debbie’s pulses I could tell she was a doer and had a lot of stress in her mind, in her life. I didn’t know any of the specifics, I didn’t need to know. I was just listening in the silence. I could feel her falling into a deep state of relaxation. It was very peaceful. There was something reassuring about the silence…two strangers, yet an unspoken intimacy in a moment in time…one without words or understanding…just a simple state of being…nothing less than miraculous…nothing more than ordinary.

At the end of the treatment Debbie opened her eyes and was quiet. She sat up and said, “It’s true, there really is joy. Joy does exist.”

I didn’t need feel I needed to see Debbie again, and she didn’t mention further treatments. All I knew was that her spirit was lifted. She seemed lighter as she opened the door and said goodbye. “Thank you,” she said. It was genuine. I didn’t know who was thanking whom. It was just a brief interlude where I felt our lives had been touched by something greater, something unnameable but beautiful and sacred. I was touched.

I remember Mary saying, “Sometimes all a person needs is one treatment. It changes everything.” I had never experienced that in my years of giving treatments, until today.

Thank you, Jill.

Thank you, Mary.

Thank you, David
