Dick Schnickel, of Colorado Springs, CO, shares his experience about a “Daydream” in The Main Central Jin Shin Jyutsu Newsletter, issue Number 45, Summer, 2004:

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

At my first class, Wayne invited us to pick any page in any of Mary’s books, daydream on it and have fun. This is the daydream that happened to me on pages 28 and 29 of Self-Help Book II where Mary introduces Safety Energy Lock 9. I was there preparing for our study group’s discussion of Safety Energy Lock 9 and the Nine Flow. I had been to these pages many times, but I had never seen “release tension/stress in our waist area – connecting waist up (‘heaven’) with waist down (‘earth’).” How does 9 do this connecting?

At the farthermost reaches of waist-down-earth, at the foot, are 5, 6 and 7, which is 18, an expression of 9. Again starting at Safety Energy Lock 5 but going the other direction on the foot brings 5,16 and 24 into play; 45 and also a 9. So, in waist-down-earth, 9 has a well-established presence, which is good since it is responsible for the happiness of the foot. As below, so above – waist-up-heaven also has a well-established 9 presence. At the farthermost reaches of waist-up-heaven, on the front side, are 20, 21 and 22; 63 also 9. On the backside are 4, 12 and 11 revealing still another 9; 27. Looking to the right and the left are 17, 18 and 19 bringing the 9 in 54 to us, and, being on the mediator, insuring that left and right are harmonized so that above and below can be.

Strange things can happen in daydreams. In this one I saw that 1 and 8 are paired so that when Safety Energy Lock 1 makes its prime move forward, the 8 is there with it – 1 and 8 are 9. At that moment everything shifted, and the whole body of 26 Safety Energy Locks revealed itself as 9, standing with five triads and five dyads, all of which are expressions of nine. (The triads are: 5, 6 and 7; 20, 21 and 22; 4, 12 and 11; 17, 18 and 29; 24, 16 and 23. The dyads are: 1 and 8, 25 and 2, 13 and 14, 10 and 26, 3 and 15.) So one way that 9 connects waist-up-heaven with waist-down-earth is to organize all of the Safety Energy Locks (our truest friends, Mary calls them) into expressions of 9.

On page 28 Mary says, “‘9’ came into the universe meaning end of a cycle is beginning of another; every end is seed of a fresh beginning…” Number one always begins; one is always the fresh beginning arising from the seed 9 has planted. So, not unexpectedly, the pages that introduce Safety Energy Lock 9 include the next three expressions of 1 that follow 9: the 10 at the top of the page, 19 presented as the Safety Energy Lock to release Safety Energy Lock 9 and the page number itself, 28. Next door is page 29, an 11 – the irreducible master number and the amplified 1. On these two pages, the only numbers are 9 and the several expressions of 1. Wherever there is 9, one (1) must surely follow. Connecting waist up (heaven) with waist down (earth) prepares for the unity of Number 1.

Thank you, Dick.

Thank you, Mary.

Thank you, David.

This is article #28, the last of a series of articles by our IT IS Seminar faculty on the Safety Energy Locks from a Self-help perspective. The series begins in Issue Number 36, Spring 2002, of The Main Central Jin Shin Jyutsu Newsletter.

Aino Meinhardt wraps up the series with her article in The Main Central Jin Shin Jyutsu Newsletter, issue Number 64, Spring 2009:

Safety Energy Lock 26

Twenty-six – “26” came into the universe meaning complete (that which was, is, will be).”    ~ Self-Help Book 2

2 + 6 adds up to 8 (rhythm, strength, peace). For 26, it is written: “BE the boundless.” For 8, we find: “I alone impose LIMITATIONS upon MYSELF.” If you turn number 8 to the horizontal you will see the lemniscate, the symbol of infinity – that which was, is, will be, IS. The lemniscate was a very early sign for Christ. From this, the 2 fishes were developed, and today there is only one fish left.

Safety Energy Lock 26 is on page 63 in Self-Help Book 2. From the 6th Depth, the manifesting process starts through the 3rd Depth in the Order of Creation. If we mirror the 63 it is 36; on page 36 in Self-Help Book 2, we find Safety Energy Lock 13.

Twenty-six (26) is the number of GOD – JHWH (Hebrew Jehovah), 13 is the number of God’s son. He is the 13th – 12 disciples, and he is the 13th. J.C. (abbrev. Jesus Christ) where J = 10, C = 3 = 13. Thirteen (13) itself is the number representing the occult 1. If we write 1 in Hebrew = achad (aleph=I, chet=8, dalet=4), it adds up to 13.

On page 36 in Text 1, we find the 26 Flow.

In Self-Help Book 2, page 63, Safety Energy Lock 26 item b, Mary writes: “…harmonize mental, digestive and physical functions.” That means all levels: mental is the bustline, digestive the waistline, and physical the hipline.

One possibility for harmonizing safety Energy Lock 26 is the BIG HUG. B(2) + I(9) + G(7) =18; H(8) + U(2+1=3) + G(7) = 18. 18 + 18 = 36. Thirty-six (36) is the number of the heavenly ocean, where all life comes from. 3+6 = 9. The 9th Depth is all and no-thing. 360° is a circle, “0 (‘oval’) came into the universe meaning limitless Light; the ‘Breath’ itself; the rootless root. In man it is called the Main Central Vertical Universal Harmonizing Energy…” Self-Help Book 2, page 9. The Main Central is 6th Depth.

We have 26 bones in our hand. With our hands we “grasp” things.

We have 26 bones in our foot. The feet are related to the Unconscious mind. So the symbolic foot-washing raises the Unconscious to Conscious mind. The same is true for the harmonizing of the feet. For example, we say we underSTAND something.

In 26 days the sun rotates one time around her own axis; the sun is the symbol for the 7th Depth and for Christ.

In my study of Safety Energy Lock 26, I encountered again and again the number 5. Safety Energy Lock 26 is harmonized by the middle of the palm. This also harmonizes the 6th Depth. The numerical harmonizer of 6th Depth is 5.

Safety Energy Lock 26 is the last Safety Energy Lock in 5th Depth.

If we harmonize the 1st Depth with the flow called Reversing and Increasing of First Depth, we hold 26/9 with opposite 2. The numerical harmonizer of 1st Depth is again 5. In the 2 Flow we hold 26 in the 5th step. The 26 Flow has 5 steps.

5 is number of man. 5 is the number of the heart. It is said that man sees God and is seen by God through the heart. 5 also corresponds with our soul. Without soul the spirit, the God (26) couldn’t be; he would be withdrawn and wouldn’t be able to reveal himself.

In Chapter 1, verse 26 of Genesis, it is written: “And he said, HE the Gods, we will make Adam (5) in the shadows of us, by the like making like ourselves; and they shall hold the sceptre in the spawn breeding kind [fish] of the seas (soul, feelings = waistline), and in the flying kind of the heavens (thoughts = bustline), and in the quadrupedally [the 4-legged] walking kind, and in the whole [earth-born] life, and in all moving thing crawling along upon the earth (physical body = hipline).” (Translation from Hebrew to English: Fabre d’Olivet)

The 5th commandment is: You should not kill. and that doesn’t mean not to murder, but not to judge, because this is what prevents us from our development and therefore kills us. And so we find with 26:

“All is AS IT IS, and as it is, IT IS.”

To kill mean that we live our lives stereotyped, repetitive, not creative. Twenty-six (26) is the number of the creator; 26 brings about enthusiasm and helps me to discover my life again and again new. Twenty-six (26) is the enthusiasm, and this is what brings us close to God – as it was formulated in the Middle Ages.

Five (5) is also the number of the heart, and so this is also about not killing the voice of the heart, not stifling the inner voice.

Twenty-six (26) gives us a deep confidence and security, the knowledge that we are protected and sustained. Twenty-six (26) brings along my will to live and the urge to grow. These are some of the reasons why the flow for Reversing and Increasing of First Depth, where we hold the 26, is so important and helpful for newborn babies.

Thank you, Aino.

Thank you, Mary.

Thank you, David.

Mona Harris continues the series with her article in The Main Central Jin Shin Jyutsu Newsletter, issue Number 63, Winter 2009:

Safety Energy Lock 25

Safety Energy Lock 25 comes along the Supervisor Flow as the second (2) Safety Energy Lock in the Fifth (5) Depth. If you add 2 + 5 you will get 7, the number of the Fifth Depth. Safety Energy Lock 7 invites us to take a break, after a complete exhalation and before inhaling again. It is in that pause that healing can happen. It is in that quiet moment that we get a chance to remember who we really are. Isn’t that exactly what Fifth Depth tells us? We are ok just the way we are, we don’t need any pretense or cover-up. If you translate the numbers into letters of the English alphabet, you get to; BE (2=B; 5=E). As we tend to forget, Mary will remind us over and over again to BE (e.g., BE the SMILE; BE the EXHALE; BE the FUN). There is one sentence that says it all for me. And that phrase still reminds me of how I felt during and after my first treatment: “Relax – if unable to relax, just be as you are.”

And I love the way Mary continues and explains it in Self-Help Book 1 on page 7: “There is no need to try to relax. In time one can be able to relax without trying. We are human BE-ings, not human TRY-ings or DO-ings or STRIV-ings. We are just simply human BE-ings.” It was such a relief that my practitioner didn’t expect anything from me. That’s what made me want to come back for more sessions!

Whenever we DO too much we can use our Safety Energy Lock 25 in order to “quietly regenerate”. We can sit on our hands, recharge our “run-down” energy battery; harmonize our “chaotic mind” as Mary says in Self-Help Book 2, where she introduces us to Safety Energy Lock 25 on page 61 (another 7!). We come across more “sevens” if we look for Safety Energy Lock 25 in Self-Help Book 1, page 51, where Mary invites us under item 7 at the top of the page, “Getting to KNOW (Help) MYSELF, PROJECT NO. IV – SPECIAL SEQUENCES” to sit on both hands (item number 2, same page), and on page 52 (a 7!) to sit on one hand and place the other hand on the opposite shoulder (item number 3 and item number 4: 3+4=7). Seven (7) is an ascending Safety Energy Lock that helps the energy first to descend and shout “victory” before it sends the energy back up by spreading “perfect life power” throughout the entire body. With all these connections between 7 and 25 it isn’t surprising to find the description of Safety Energy Lock 7 in Self-Help Book 2 on pages 24 and 25.

Thank you, Mona.

Thank you, Mary.

Thank you, David.

This is article #26 of a series of articles by our IT IS Seminar faculty on the Safety Energy Locks from a Self-help perspective. The series begins in Issue Number 36, Spring 2002, of The Main Central Jin Shin Jyutsu Newsletter.

Janet Oliver continues the series with her article in The Main Central Jin Shin Jyutsu Newsletter, issue Number 62, Fall 2008:

Safety Energy Lock 24

Mary tells us in Self-Help Book 2 that Safety Energy Lock 24 harmonizes all chaos within for complete peace of mind and body. It facilitates our journey of spiritual awakening. Born within Fifth Depth, Safety Energy Lock #24 connects us with our heart energy, allowing us to BE our true selves.

In my own journey, Safety Energy Lock 24 became a dearest friend in my return to health from a severe toxic exposure that left me debilitated for a few years. I have always been an enthusiastic user of my self-help jumper cables, enjoying the feeling of the pulses and the dynamic stillness created through self-help. Following the toxic exposure, to my surprise and disappointment, my energy would not move, and my pulses did not come. My Safety Energy Locks were stuck, stuck, stuck. I knew at some point that I would be grateful for this journey, for all the blessings of learning from this experience, however, especially in the first months, I could not find the feelings of gratitude or inner peace at all. I simply sat and held my thumbs and fingers, waiting for the familiar pulsations and harmony to show up.

Then, in this process, I found that holding Safety Energy Lock 24 with Center Safety Energy Lock 13 (on the sternum) would open the doorway to the pulsations and the return to health. Safety Energy Lock 13 eased me into loving my enemies (including myself!) without judgment, while Safety Energy Lock 24 allowed me to surrender into Spirit and feel the unconditional love of the Creator. It left me feeling peaceful and calm, able to BE with the life and health challenges and to accept these challenges gratefully as a part of life on this earth plane.

Also, utilizing the Self-Help Main Central to balance the left and right sides of the body, followed by holding Safety Energy Lock 24 with the opposite side Safety Energy Lock 26 (both sides, three times), brought needed relief to my body, mind and spirit. With this self-help, I could BREATHE. The chaos in my wrist pulses subsided. Mary writes in the margin of Self-Help Book 2, page 59, that describes Safety Energy Lock 24, “UNLOAD (exhale) all the dirt, dust and greasy grime. RECEIVE (inhale) the abundance.” As the days, weeks, and months passed, I would come to deeper and deeper understanding of her words, as practicing this self-help gave me the direct experience in my own body, mind, and spirit.

The 24th letter in the alphabet is “X”. Draw a diagonal line from the left Safety Energy Lock 26 to the right Safety Energy Lock 24 and a diagonal line from the right Safety Energy Lock 26 to the left Safety Energy Lock 24, and you will see these diagonal lines form “X”. To enhance brain function and maintenance, it has been found that balancing the left and right sides of the brain (and body) may be accomplished by swinging each arm across the midline of the body (forming “X”), walking by stepping across the midline with each foot (forming “X”), drawing “X”, and gazing at “Xs” wherever you find them.

The relationship between Safety Energy Locks 24 and 26 appears again in Self-Help Book 2, page 59, as the holding both left and right safety Energy Locks 26 (our big hug) is a self-help for Safety Energy Lock 24. On page 60 of this book, another “quickie” self-help recharge for Safety Energy Lock 24 is holding Safety Energy Lock 26 with Safety Energy Lock 15, which is the last step of the Safety Energy Lock 26  pattern in Text 1, on page 36. While Safety Energy Lock 24 harmonizes the chaos in the head and body, Safety Energy Lock 26 is total and complete, helping the past, present, and future come together into the present moment. Together, these two Safety Energy Locks balance the left and right sides of the brain and body, bringing us to dynamic stillness. In this stillness, we may perceive eternal splendor, limitless light and abundance, and BE in rhythm with the luminous pulsation of universal consciousness, to be transformed and KNOW what it is to be ONE with the Creator.

Thank you, Janet.

Thank you, Mary.

Thank you, David.

Safety Energy Lock 23

From Self-Help Book II by Mary Burmeister: “’23’ came into the universe meaning proper circulation maintenance…Harmonizes(s) blood circulation, brain functions; physical agility and frustrations. …Techniques in themselves are false securities.”

Regarding this, I find in Self-Help Book III on page 7, the following written by Mary “It is the ‘transcending or rising above or beyond the limitations of technique’ to be able to KNOW MYSELF BE IT IS, IS…One already has the KEYS. All one needs is the awareness, the understanding…FEAR is the result of lack of the awareness, the understanding!”

Safety Energy Lock 23 is the only Safety Energy Lock in 4th Depth. When the 4th Depth is out of harmony, FEAR is generated.

“Awareness and understanding of each of the ‘Safety’ Energy Locks are the KEYS to security. …KNOW MYSELF IT IS leads to universal knowledge. …[23] AIDS: clear-thinking; temper tantrums; selfishness; adrenal function tension/stress.” – Self-Help Book II

The adrenals produce cortisol, which is an anti-inflammatory, and adrenalin, the stress hormone.

The human genetic make-up consists of a double set of 23 (23+23) chromosomes. The 23rd one decides our sex.

The 23 is connected to addiction or obsession. Addiction is a sort of search; it is a fruitless search. The 23 helps us to get out of the vicious cycle and back into development.

A poem I see in relationship to the 23 is from the work of Rainer Maria Rilke:

I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world.

I may not complete this last one but I give myself to it.

I circle around God, around the primordial tower.

I’ve been circling for thousands of years and I still don’t know;

am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?

The 23 is located left and right from Thoracic Vertebra 12. TV 12 is related to the Liver Function Energy and corresponds with the sign Pisces. One of the attributes of the sign Pisces and therefore of the Liver Function Energy is “belief” – the human being who takes responsibility for his life in his own hands, who takes over responsibility for his BEING.

The 23 belongs to the waist line, the level of man between heaven and earth. In the 14, I decide with my will; in the 23 I take responsibility for whatever I’ve decided.

Between TV 12 and Lumbar 2 the Second Depth meets the Main Central.

One part of the Stomach Function Energy goes right into TV 12.

In the area of Safety Energy Lock 23 the 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st Depths are represented.

In the 23rd chapter, verse 23 of the Gospel of Matthew, it  is written about the charge against the scribes and Pharisees, who are called hypocrites because they don’t follow their own words, they aren’t authentic. Chapter 23: verse 23, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faith.” I found another translation in a German Bible, “…that which is weightier and important in the law, you leave aside: self-knowledge, love and faith come from the heart.”

PSALM 23

A Psalm of David:

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in the green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies, thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Thank you, Aino.

Thank you, Mary.

Thank you, David.

Safety Energy Lock 22 ~ Master number, ALL INCLUSIVE, COMPLETE

“Safety Energy Lock 22 is located under the collar bones and helps us balance and harmonize our thoughts because it allows us to think more objectively and reasonably, without emotion or attachment. It also helps us to adapt to all new situations and to change in the environment, including changes in weather or seasons. …Because the [Safety Energy Lock] 22s represent completion, they are useful for balancing the total being.” ~ from The Touch of Healing, pgs. 88 and 89

continued:

On page 3, Self-Help Book III, “the INDEX FINGERS are also for easing back discomforts. All the burdens of attitudes ~ worry, fear, anger, grief and trying-to (Mary tells us about Attitudes on page 22, Self-Help Book I) ~ which affect the back. …To unload the tension/stress on one’s back, SMILE, drop the shoulders and exhale while holding (jumper cabling) the INDEX FINGER.” The INDEX FINGERS correspond with the LITTLE TOES for back tension/stress, too, where the Bladder Flow finishes and the Kidney Flow begins. The 22 = 2 + 2 equals 4, “VISION ~ Self-change starts with self study. Shallow breathing causes disharmony. Deep breathing results in a loving personality.” Four is the 4th Depth, Safety Energy Lock 23 and Bladder and Kidney Functions.

On page 22, Self-Help Book I tells us about Attitudes and how to harmonize the 1st Depth, Worry, Stomach and Spleen Functions. Almost all of the organ functions pass through Safety Energy Lock 22. Just the Bladder Flow does not pass through. But we can find the Bladder Function on page 22, in Text 2.

The first step of the 1st Method of Correction is 22 and 11 (22 + 11 = 33) on page 55, Text 1. The first step of the Lung Function is 22 and 14 (22 + 14 = 36) on page 10, Text 2; the first step of the Stomach Function is 22 and 21 (22 + 21 = 43 = 7), on page 14, Text 2; the first step of the Liver Function is 22 and 4 (22 + 4 = 26), on page 34, Text 2.

The Breathing Flow that is found on page 22, Text 1, opens the chest and helps the heart and lungs, harmonizes the exhale and the inhale, balancing the total being. The jumper cable to help is to hold your high 19 with opposite high 1, which is the same self-help to harmonize Safety Energy Lock 22. Mary says that Safety Energy Lock 22 is excellent to align the chest (13s), the solar plexus (14s) and the groin area (15s).

Safety Energy Lock 22 belongs to the 3rd depth and is part of the first 22 Safety Energy Locks “rediscovered” by Jiro Murai. Everything is inclusive in Safety Energy Lock 22, like colors, constellations and musical notes. All 144, 000 functions join at the 22s. All elements also join there. Their known name is “The Train Station” because all energy that goes up the body comes down and joins at Safety Energy Lock 22. It’s where the energy “goes on holiday”, takes a “little break”.  If the 22s are open, the energy goes through them and goes to do the work they have to do. Safety Energy Lock 22s help to receive the energy through “open arms”.

On page 22, Self-Help Book III, Mary says, “Physio-Psychology ~ SMILE, SEE within and LISTEN. When Inner life is in order, it brings joy, health and Creator Abundance in all things, in all ways. There is always a way to help Myself, knowing of which, in turn, can help others. There is always an alternative with knowing FINGERS and TOES. If unable to BE anything else, SMILE and Be the Breath I am. Instead of “show me” open one’s eyes and SEE for myself. Be one’s own testimony. BE happiness. Know that there are no ways to happiness. Happiness IS. …HAND-PALM and FOOT-SOLE.”

Be Happy where you are!

Thank You Very Much Mary Burmeister.

Thank you, Margareth.

Thank you, Mary.

Thank you, David.

If we look at page 55 (5 + 5 = 10) in Self-Help Book II we can find the Safety Energy Lock 22 where Mary says, “All my miseries are results of: I am ignorant of MYSELF, KNOW MYSELF IT IS.”  The 20, 21, 22 Flow is found on page 32 (3 + 2 = 5) in Text 1. On page “20”, Self-Help Book II, Safety Energy Lock 5, Mary says, “Erases FEAR ~ false evidence appearing real ~ to discover: KNOW MYSELF IT IS”. On page 22, Self-Help Book II, Safety Energy Lock 6, Mary says, “FUN ~ Fulfillment, Understanding, No-thing. Be the SMILE.” The jumper cable for Safety Energy Locks 5 and 6 is hold your 15/3 or your 15s. Safety Energy Locks 5 and 6 constitute “The Mind Specialist,” and 20, 21, 22 Flow is the Face Flow harmonizer. (Face Flows are Gall Bladder, Stomach and Bladder.) Mary called these “The Magic Combination”, “The Dynamic Combination”, “The Mind Specialist”.

The known name for Safety Energy Lock 7 and 8 is “The Mind Specialist”, too. When 22s aren’t in harmony, they can be the main cause of strokes. The 22s also harmonize the thyroid and the parathyroid glands. The 5, 6, 7, 8 Flow opens the chest, and 20, 21, 22 Flow helps the energy to descend. These glands are located in the area of the 22s. The jumper cable to help them is right hand on right 22, inside the collar bone, with the thumb of the left hand in the right armpit and the fingers holding the right 26. This self-help also helps anemia.

The 20 + 21 + 22 = 63 equals 9. The 9 Flow, on page 20, Text 1, known as the Supervisor, the Director, and is also important for the adequate functioning of the 20, 21, 22 Flow, which has 9 steps, to keep us continually renovated. The “quickie” Self-Help recharge (jumper cable) for Safety Energy Locks 22, 11, 10, 8 and 5 is the Index Finger.

Mary says on page “2”, Self-Help Book III, “the INDEX FINGER represents FLOW. As long as one is in the flow (perfect circulation), there is harmony with no limitations, no obstacles, no-things, which are causes for disorders ~ various types of labels. …The INDEX FINGERS, when not in harmony, are the source for all LACKS. Lack of perception, balance in thinking, energy, health, all material things, begin to cause FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real). One is only able to ‘look’ and ‘hear’ instead of really able to SEE and LISTEN. The index finger is used for blaming others, things, situations, for one’s own unawareness and not understanding.”

To be continued…

This is article #23 of a series of articles by our IT IS Seminar faculty on the Safety Energy Locks from a Self-help perspective. The series begins in Issue Number 36, Spring 2002, of The Main Central Jin Shin Jyutsu Newsletter.

Mona Harris continues the series with her article in The Main Central Jin Shin Jyutsu Newsletter, issue Number 58, Fall 2007:

Safety Energy Lock 21

In order to write this article I did a lot of thinking and holding my 21s at the same time. Too effective for my taste I must say: all my thoughts escaped immediately and left me with a still empty page…

So I went to Mary’s books for some help…

Safety Energy Lock 21 is the only Safety Energy Lock in Self-Help Book 2 where we get the same message over and over again: Erase all mental bondage, escape from mental bondage, harmonize mental bondages and finally: AIDS: mental tension/stress. It is all related to the mind! No wonder, as Safety Energy Lock 21 represents the middle line of our three friends in the face: bust line – spirit (represented by #20), waist line – mind (represented by #21) and hip line – body (represented by #22). Interestingly enough the relationship between the three lines and the whole body is shown in Self-Help Book 3 on pages 20 and 21.

But there is another relationship where Safety Energy Lock 21 helps us to escape from mental bondage: Twenty-one is located at the cheek bone, where our Large Intestine Function Energy flows into the Stomach Function Energy. So Safety energy Lock 21 clearly helps all aspects of our digestion. This becomes even more obvious when we look at the steps in the Stomach Function Energy: one hand stays on Safety Energy Lock 21 throughout the whole flow in order to really help digest all of our thoughts, words and deeds (including the food we eat of course). Stomach Function Energy belongs to 1st Depth, and Large Intestine Function Energy belongs to 2nd Depth. As shown in Text 2 on page 4 these two depths belong to the Surface Body Function Energy, which combines at the bust line – our helper for mental-emotional needs. Mary mentions that connection also in Self-Help Book 1 on page 16 where she writes that the tip of the nose (representing the middle 21 in the self-Help Main Central) “revitalizes superficial body energy circulation.”

The number 21 combines (2 and 1) the first two safety Energy Locks that we find along the Supervisor Flow. One is the birthplace of the Supervisor, a descending Safety Energy Lock that connects extreme height with extreme depth. This aspect is helping both the Stomach Function Energy (that descends from head to toe) as well as the Large Intestine Function Energy (another descending flow which helps us get rid of everything we don’t need any more). Two helps us to see through the eyes of the Creator and therefore brings us wisdom.

                                Wisdom always recognizes “wholeness”, “oneness”,                                                                                    while ignorance looks at, specializes in a part or parts.                                                                                    ~ Mary Burmeister (Self-Help Book 3, page 40)

Where the mind might get caught in analyzing the small picture – wisdom will be able to see the big picture. The two is needed to clear the mind! And speaking of wisdom, I found that the number 21 is mentioned in the Bible in one important context: The Book of Wisdom (7:22-23) describes the 21 perfections of wisdom. Amazing, don’t you think?

Thank you, Mona.

Thank you, Mary.

Thank you, David.

Safety Energy Lock 20 – Celebrating Life

Celebrating Cristina’s Life

In this issue of the Main Central I was responsible for writing about Safety Energy Lock 20 in the Living the Art series of articles. Many thoughts came to my mind, but I couldn’t find the time and the inspiration to start writing, and I couldn’t understand why.

After Cristina Minamisawa’s crossing the Bridge back to our Source of Life, I have understood why.

Safety Energy Lock 20 is Eternity, Everlasting.

Safety Energy Lock 20 reminds us that our physical body is ephemeral but Life is Eternal. Life is all the time changing the way it expresses itself, constantly re-creating itself anew. Safety Energy Lock 20 allows us to open our eyes to see Life and Death with clearness, perceiving that there is no failure in Death, as there is no failure in Life. Safety Energy Lock 20 brings the higher comprehension of human personality that lets me and others create and recreate life the way each one chooses, with no judgment and no failure.

Safety Energy Lock 20 is Perpetual Consciousness, bringing the awareness of the past, the present and the future and the realization that the only time that really exists is the NOW. It helps us to understand our life process, our life story. Comprehending how our past thoughts and beliefs have created the present, we can change our present thoughts to create a new and different future.

Safety Energy Lock 20 helps us to remember.

I look at my life when Cristina was still physically present, and I remember the days we spent reviewing the translation of the Self-Help Books, Texts 1 and 2, The Touch of Healing, “What Mary Says…” I remember how mindful and precise she was and how pleasant and inspiring it was to discuss Physio-Philosophy with her. Looking back, reminiscing about the classes that she translated into Portuguese, I remember how she was able to let her Self go to be completely in tune with the teacher, translating the message through her voice, conveying the teacher’s gestures and emotions, being in the NOW.

Margareth U. Serra, Cristina and I were partners at the Brazilian Jin Shin Jyutsu office. And I remember how we supported and encouraged each others’ feelings, thoughts, acts and creativity. I remember how enthusiastic Cristina is about Life and about Jin Shin Jyutsu, the Art of Living. I remember when she was giving a Jin Shin Jyutsu session to me or to another person, how careful she was about listening to all aspects and talking with her hands and with her words in a very accurate way.

Unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to be in an entire class with Cristina, because when she started teaching, I started having my children. But I am sure she brought her authenticity, her common sense and clarity to all her classes.

Cristina, now you are much closer to the Cosmic Awareness (#20) that you are a member of the Unity. Now you fully re-member. You are a member of the Source again. And we always remember you. As Mary says at page 51, in Self-Help Book II, where she talks about Safety Energy Lock 20, “I am the Star, I am the Planet, I am the Cosmos.” Your smile had the brightness of a Star. Know that this planet is a better place because of your way of touching people. Now you have a much broader perspective of “I am the Cosmos.”

At that same page, Mary teaches us to help 20 by holding the 22s which help us to be happy and content and adapt to this new situation of not having Cristina physically manifested on the Planet, but always present in our memory which resides in our hearts. In Portuguese, the word “celebrate” and “commemorate” (which has to be with memory, remembering) are synonyms. So let’s celebrate with joy all that Cristina has taught us with her LIFE! Thanks, Cristina.

Thank you, Iole.

Thank you, Mary.

Thank you, David.

This is article #21 of a series of articles by our IT IS Seminar faculty on the Safety Energy Locks from a Self-help perspective. The series begins in Issue Number 36, Spring 2002, of The Main Central Jin Shin Jyutsu Newsletter.

Safety Energy Lock 19

“‘SAFETY’ Energy Lock ’19’ came into the universe meaning authority and leadership, perfect balance.”

In 1983 I attended a class in Scottsdale with Mary, and I happened upon several seasoned practitioners, who had taken Mary’s class several times. My ears went akimbo. My first thought was maybe they were not very bright and had to repeat the classes. I found out they were very intelligent and already had mountains of notes stored in their computers.

I decided to sit next to them, thinking I might get ideas on note taking. I was soon humbled as I sat next to this group who took no notes. They just listened and watched, and occasionally they turned their heads or jotted down some short line to add to their collection of notes. Being I was a college graduate with honors, I could not imagine sitting in a class over and over again – and then to not take notes just seemed strange.

Finally I asked, “What are you doing??? You all just sit there.” A person from this group said, “We’re watching Mary.” I said, “She’s just sitting there.” And she said, “Oh no she’s not.” I was perplexed to say the least. “Watch her and how she responds to questions and what happens to the energy of the room.” She further explained, “She is a true master of the Art.”

I sat and watched as she pointed out when someone would ask a question. One woman asked about her husband’s heart project, and Mary quietly held her little finger and exhaled, and the whole room of students would exhale. Mary did not answer the question in a direct way, and yet everyone seemed profoundly affected by the answer.

On numerous occasions I watched as Mary would raise her hand, palm open, to a crying child or a person in need. Mary put her hands on many different people, and we watched as they transformed magically before our eyes. Mary has an understanding of the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu that is amazing to witness. In class sometimes I would say that I was trying to understand, and Mary would simply say, “You sure are.” And then she would say, “Sara, BE the understanding.”

Mary said over and over again in class, “We are Human Beings, not Human Tryings or Doings.” She opened the door of possibilities and showed us ways of BEing if we were quiet enough to Listen, Look and See.

Recently there has been a lot of excitement over the movie The Secret. it seems to me that Mary has been delivering the same messages to us for decades. Mary is the “Perfect Balance”. She is the “Natural Authority and Leader” for all of us to learn from and emulate. In class Mary would say, “Be your own testimony.”

I recently had another profound experience of this door of possibility as I stayed with Anita Willoughby during the organizer meeting in New York. I watched and helped as Anita was getting her home ready to host all the organizers and instructors. Anita moves with the speed and grace of a well-trained dancer. She also moves from this “Natural Authority and Leadership.” I watched as she watered her orchid plants that were in full bloom I have several of those plants and had never gotten them to bloom again. When I asked Anita how she got them to bloom she said, “They have to have a sunny window, a small drink of water that gets well drained, and know that they will bloom.”

The metaphor was profound for me in that moment, and I got yet another glimmer of the door of possibility. I have an orchid plant that I have had for two years with not even one blossom; it currently has bloomed for its fourth time, and today it has two full strands of blossoms. I have been holding my Safety Energy Lock 19 and Exhaling for two months to play with the art of Natural authority and Leadership. Hey, Perfect Balance. From a practicing practitioner of the Arts…

Thank you, Sara.

Thank you, Mary.

Thank you, David.
