Georgianne Ginder says Get Yourself a Sandwich in The Main Central Jin Shin Jyutsu Newsletter, issue Number 58, Fall 2007:

*******************

Week after week she sat in a chair in the chemotherapy room at the university hospital (Massey Cancer Center). Very often the room is quite full. Side by side people seeking healing sit. They sleep. They stare…and laugh. Brave and strong…they come and go. I saw her once again as she drifted in and out of fitful slumber. It is easy to spot the kind of pain that shows up on the face. It sharpens the features one minute and dulls them the next.  The way of shadows – darting, playing, moving…daring. Then one day she intentionally caught my eye – could I come to try to help her? She wanted to try it now – Jin Shin Jyutsu – whatever it was I was doing.

I explained briefly what I was about to do and began by listening to her wrist pulses. She was in such pain and so weak that her voice oozed out slowly, wearily in whispery staccato puffs. She was almost entirely hidden under that blanket, cold and weak.

We commenced on her left side; found that her leg was extremely swollen; told her I would try and relieve some of the pressure causing such horrendous discomfort. Her pain was palpable. With closed eyes she informed me how expensive pain medicine was. Sick and weak as she was, she was doing her best to get better. She seemed to be pain itself…did not complain…just squeezed her eyes shut, let out a sigh and then drifted away.

Deep was her sleep, and then suddenly she awoke and asked how I knew what to do and where to touch. Asked if I had training for this. I told her that I had.. She loved the session and the feeling – the relief. The intense pain somehow was leaving! Her back…she mentioned her back. I gently placed my hand there and could have been certain that I was touching a cold band of protruding hard steel beneath that sweater, even though I knew it was flesh – skin, but I would not have believed it…could hardly imagine this. She had a tumor there, she said. It just came. That is what is causing these problems.

“I want to tell the nurse how much better my pain is.”

And so we did.

Wednesday after Wednesday we worked on that pain…worked on giving her a respite – some comfort. Yesterday she grew hungry during the session. She had always displayed little or no appetite but somehow today, in this room chock full of people, she felt as if she wanted to eat. She asked if I wouldn’t mind getting her a hamburger. Then she thought she might want some soup. too – chicken noodle. Would I mind?

I wrote down the order just so that I would not forget: mayo, tomato, lettuce. Boy, I would have made a miserable waitress, I thought.

“Get yourself a sandwich on me,” she said. “I want you to.” I said that I just couldn’t, but she insisted, and so I went on our hunt. I returned with her request and an order of fries for us. The cafeteria burger line was closed but the woman working there told me where I might try to check….”try Blimpies for the soup, too.” I found the McDonalds down the way, and the kind young man had a sandwich made just the way she wanted, and I ordered some fries. The soup from Blimpies was just what she wanted, what she had a taste for. My friend could not believe just how good that food was. She wanted me to have some.

I attempted to share the fries with some of the nurses and the patients receiving chemo. One man took only two. I placed the change in her purse. No one had ever offered to get me lunch before, I told her. I sat down in the next chair. We were breaking bread – a sharing celebration – what companionship is all about. “Any time you are here I want to buy you a sandwich,” she said, “even when you don’t give me the treatment. I feel better just knowing you are here with us.”

Give and take and give and get – and so is life. “Get yourself a sandwich.”

I feel better just know you are here.

We are creatures of movement, music and light:

9th depth is NO-THING
Pure space, void, chaos

8th depth is “•” (the dot; the Creator, SOURCE of all Sources)
The first swirling. ..a vibration of sound and movement
It is the number of Creator Energy, God, magic, jumper cable energy
*= ∞ moves so fast, it denses down to the “eye of God” or the light of the eye, light of the sun in 7th depth. Light cannot be seen until an object interrupts it – we are the objects.
8th depth overflows to:

7th depth is THE SUN (energy which continually flows down)
We are the creatures made out of light.
The spark of life happens at 7th depth.

6th depth is from the overflow of 7th depth comes 6th depth gives birth to our unique expression of the “•”
It is the (capital S) Source. (3rd depth is (little s) source.
It is the Blueprint. It is the breath of life essence.
Here the MAIN CENTRAL VERTICAL UNIVERSAL HARMONIZING ENERGY is born. It is the exhale down the front and the inhale up the back. The space between exhale and inhale is “stillness”.
It then gives birth to the LEFT AND RIGHT MAJOR VERTICAL (Supervisor) UNIVERSAL HARMONIZING ENERGY and it then gives birth to the LEFT AND RIGHT DIAGONAL (Mediator)
UNIVERSAL HARMONIZING ENERGY.

The LEFT AND RIGHT MAJOR VERTICAL (Supervisor)
UNIVERSAL HARMONIZING ENERGY gives birth to all SAFETY
ENERGY LOCKS. “SELS” are alive; they live and breathe and move.
They are not precise points. Each SEL has a 6 inch diameter.

The LEFT AND RIGHT DIAGONAL (Mediator) UNIVERSAL HARMONIZING ENERGY gives birth to the 12 “individualized” body function energy and their harmony is measured through the 5 attitudes: worry, fear, anger, grief, pretense. The twelve kinds of body function energy circulate continuously throughout the body twenty-four hours a day, building, repairing and protecting it. The Mediator is the aspect that continues after death, soul. The Mediator is the bridge that transports Trinity Energy to my body.

6th depth is wild; it is the desire to be. Its vibration slows down and transforms to 3rd depth. 3rd depth slows down and transforms to 5th depth. 5th depth slows down and transforms to 1st depth…to 2nd depth…to 4th depth…and back to 6th depth.

3rd depth is our activity; SELS 16-22; blood essence

5th depth is our spiritual inheritance, body function energy, 144,000 energy flow patterns; SELS 24-26; bone

1st depth is the depth that builds our “container”; SELS 1-4; superficial tissue

2nd depth is the depth that brings together body, mind, spirit; SELS 5-15; deep tissue

4th depth is our personal destiny; SELS 23; muscle

6th depth is where 4th depth returns.

As promised, here is a description how energy becomes matter. I received this information at many of the 5-day classes I’ve taken.

Because of Mary’s love and diligence, this theory of the Depths was developed. Thank you, Mary.

9th Depth is No-Thing. It is pure space, void, chaos. I think of it as pure energy.

8th Depth is “.” (The dot; the Creator, SOURCE of all sources) The first swirling…a vibration of sound and movement. It is the number of Creator Energy, God, magic, jumper cable energy. I think of it as the Big Bang and, of course “8” represents infinity. 8th Depth energy moves so fast, it denses down to the “eye of God” or the light of the eye, the light of the sun that manifests in the 7th Depth. Light cannot be seen until an object interrupts it – we are the objects.
8th Depth overflows to:

7th Depth is the SUN (energy which continually flows down. We are creatures made out of light. The spark of life happens at 7th Depth.

6th Depth is from the overflow of 7th Depth. 6th Depth gives birth to our unique expression of the “.” It is the (capital S) Source. (3rd Depth is the (little s) source. 6th Depth is the Blueprint. It is the breath of life essence. Here the Main Central Vertical Universal Harmonizing Energy is born. It is the exhale down the front and the inhale up the back. The space between exhale and inhale is “the stillness”. It then gives birth to the Left and Right Major Vertical Supervisor Universal Harmonizing Energy and it then gives birth to the Left and Right Diagonal Mediator Universal Harmonizing Energy.

The Left and Right Major Vertical Supervisor Universal Harmonizing Energy gives birth to all Safety Energy Locks. “SELs” are alive; they live and breathe and move. They are not precise points. Each SEL has a 6 inch diameter.

The Left and Right Diagonal Mediator Universal Harmonizing Energy gives birth to the 12 “individualized” body function energy and their harmony is measured through the 5 attitudes: worry, fear, anger, grief, pretense. The twelve kinds of body function energy circulate continuously throughout the body 24 hours a day – building, repairing and protecting it. The Mediator is the aspect that continues after death: soul. The Mediator is the bridge that transports Trinity Energy to my body.

6th Depth is wild; it is the desire to be. Its vibration slows down and transforms to 3rd Depth. 3rd Depth slows down (denses) and transforms to 5th Depth. 5th Depth slows down and transforms to 1st dept…to 2nd depth…to 4th Depth…and back to 6th Depth (the Blueprint).

3rd Depth is our activity; SELs 16-22; blood essence.

5th Depth is our spiritual inheritance, body function energy, 144,000 energy flow patterns; SELs 24-26; bone.

1st Depth is the depth that builds our “container”; SELs 1-4; superficial tissue, skin.

2nd Depth is the depth that brings together body, mind, spirit; SELs 5-15; deep tissue.

4th Depth is our personal destiny; SEL 23; muscle.

6th Depth is where 4th depth returns.
