Tea with the Queen Mum

chijude — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 15:55:12 +0000

I was working with a client, I can’t remember now exactly why she came to see me, but that day something pulled me to her liver. I sat there holding the liver for awhile and nothing happened, no movement, no heat, nothing. So I moved my hands over a bit to the gall bladder and sat, feeling into it. Here, I started to feel movement and heat being released, so I just sat there paying attention while it happened.

Suddenly, I was in the dream state, having high tea with the Queen Mum. She was sitting on a couch with cabbage roses. We had our hats and gloves on. The tea service was quite lovely of course, the porcelain beautiful with a rose or flower pattern. There was lace everywhere. Several plates of little tea sandwiches were on the table between us.

As I listened, I noticed that she was talking with a certain attitude. I heard such words as, “Can you imagine,” and “Of all the nerve.” It was clear that the attitude was righteous indignation.

Then I was back in my office. The process under my hands was complete and I was wondering if I should mention any of this experience to my client. I checked inside and it seemed OK, so I asked her if she had ever had any experience with righteous indignation.

At that point she became animated and sat up and said, “Righteous indignation almost killed me! My husband and I were biking and a driver cut us off and almost hit my husband. I was so angry that I gave him every obscene sign I could think of, lost my balance, fell off my bike and rolled across the highway where I could have been run over. Righteous indignation has come up frequently in my life.”

As I told her what happened in the dream state, she also told me she was born in England.

Several years later I was teaching a class about the organs in the U.K. and told this particular story. After class a student came up to me and told me that the Queen Mum had been famous for her formal teas and for having righteous indignation, that she never forgave King George for marrying Mrs. Simpson and abandoning the throne.

This was an external reminder to really trust the depth of the information I was receiving.

ZB & Kids

Molly — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 22:29:23 +0000

This outstanding 4-day seminar will increase your skills and confidence working with children. We need to work with different strategies and techniques as, most noticeably, we are working on a moving target. Fulcrums will be shorter and more playful.

The differences between infants, babies, children and adolescents will be addressed. We will study the growth of the head, the fusing of cranial bones and the changes in psychosocial development that relate to this. Of particular interest to practitioners will be learning the skill of working on a moving target. Working with energy takes on a whole new meaning! There will be demos with babies and also hands-on work with children.

8 Ways of T’ai Chi Chuan TM

Molly — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 22:28:00 +0000

T’ai Chi is known for its ability to relax and revitalize body and mind, improve circulation and balance, and develop strength in the legs and flexibility in the joints. The Eight Ways^TM is a course designed to help you embody the principles of T’ai Chi through images borrowed from nature. They are easier to learn, do, and remember than the form. We will be learning several of the 8 Ways including Sculling, Wearing the Moon Like a Cap, Walking on Thin Ice, and Standing on the Edge of a Steep Precipice.

To help us learn how to use these movements in daily living, we introduce Children’s Games ^TM such as Slap/Unslap, Slither, Monkey in the Middle, and Eyes in the Back of Your Head.

In addition, we work with breathing and practical philosophy. This class is taught in 10 hours over 10 weeks. A mini-version can be done in less time.
