In light of the opening of our new yoga wellness spa, Mehtab offered these tips from Yogi Bhajan for becoming fully present and fully neutral before turning your attention to healing another person:
"Whenever you work on someone it is essential to prepare yourself first-
before your first touch. You need to be neutral, fully present and clear of
past imprints from other clients and from emotional bias in your self. Your
body is influenced immediately by its environment. It is not separated from
it at all. It can hold the memory of a state of energy indefinitely. Your
own conscious and unconscious attachments lock different parts of your
experience into the body. So it is necessary to have a habit to clear and
neutralize the body when you use it as an instrument for healing and
transformation of your self or others."
If you give massage treatments, energy work, or use your hands in other
healing modalities, you can use this simple Kundalini Yoga sequence
demonstrated by Yogi Bhajan in 1986 to help clear away residual energy from
previous clients.
This sequence is especially useful to clear out energy patterns you got into
while treating the previous client. It neutralizes the meridian energies. It
focuses energy through the hands and finger tips so you are immediately
ready to sense the next person.
1. Circular Spider Push-Ups: put the finger tips and thumb tips of opposite
hands together. Begin to trace out a slow intentional circle in front of the
chest. Go up and outward as the palms push together. Continue downward and
back toward the chest as the finer tips press hard and the palms separate.
It looks like a spider doing push-ups on a mirror. Repeat 5 to 11 times.
2. Grasp one hand with the other firmly: fingers crossed over the palm,
thumbs crossed behind opposite hand, all fingers of the same hand are
together, not interlaced. Squeeze this lock tightly for 1-2 seconds. Then
reverse hand positions and squeeze again. Repeat this switch and squeeze 2
to 5 times.
3. Press the hands together as you did in exercise #1. Keep the palms
separated. Push the finger tips together with a steady, strong pressure
15-20 lbs for 2 to 5 seconds. Relax the hands. Shake them and you are ready
to begin.
