New location, new life!

I finally moved from Montreal in Canada to Palm Beach Gardens in Florida. After 6.5 years in Canada, where I learnt a lot, I decided to get married and as my wife is living in South Florida, I followed her over there. For 18 years I was living near the sea in France (brittany) and I was missing it a lot in Montreal (1600km away from the sea) so in a way I go back to my roots.

I have a new house to furnish and I plan to resume my activities around April, I will probably work from a spa or share a room with a massage therapist.

In Florida, regulation is different than in Quebec. It seems Reiki here is considered a massage technique and as such you need to be a LMT : Licensed Massage Therapist : basically you need to learn swedish massage for 1 year even if you will never do it again (I don't like to do swedish, I tried it for an intensive weekend training).  Another way is to become an ordained minister, and you can choose a church that is very open minded.

And finally the third possibility is to not touch people and call your technique with a new name so you are not categorized under Reiki. My own healing treatment has evolved with the years and is now a combination of various techniques I learnt, I might call it with a different name soon and work without touching as I have mixed both in the past and I seem to learn more about people by working in their aura.

Yogananda and autobiography of a yogi

Apart from being super interested in healing and enlightenment techniques, I am also a techno geek! :) As such I recently got a Kindle 3 which is very easy to use, has a great autonomy and has access to Amazon great catalog that include many spiritual books.

The first ebook I got was autobiography of a yogi and I have been reading it pieces after pieces since this summer either on my iphone in the metro or on the kindle in the various cafes, airports I went to. Written around 60 years ago, it describes the life of a famous yogi, Yogananda. Yoga means Union, so it is not limited to asanas and increasing your flexibility. In the case of Yogananda, his yoga technique is using lots of meditations techniques. He is a very dedicated yogi with a great interest in other subjects and western culture. He describes his gurus and lots of the amazing experience he had or they had. After spending so much time with the (e)book I feel as if a friend is telling me his personal story.

He is a great person, very down to earth, I liked his book very much and I highly recommend it as a book worth reading for those on the long path towards enlightenment. It is also a great ressourceto discover Babaji, another great yogi.

You can also discover the Kriya Yoga techniques he is talking about on their website.

The good thing is that they have a good base in south Florida, at Homestead and this is will soon be near where I will live so I am pretty sure I will get their initiations and spend some time at their ashram.

Yoga to work on belt meridian (dai mai)

When I give my energy treatments I work on the hips in the aura, and the reason behind that is to work on the major belt meridian that is at that level, called Dai Mai.

There are other ways to work on this belt meridian, for example in Tibet they practice Bum-Chen as demonstrated below :



My teacher, Tao Semko, is demonstrating below another way to do so, using Nauli Kriya.

Projecting Qi (neigong)

This is a good example of how qi interacts with a person when the person is up on their feet, a setup I don't use during my sessions on a table.

It is also true that the strength of the projection depends on the strength of the practitionner qi. In this video, the person is a neigong practitionner. I am really thinking about meeting him...

Mind over Matter

For those of you who knows me, I am a firm believer in mind over matter. Indeed I have seen it happening (for example, bones moving) in my healing sessions but that would be the subject of another special post.

The video is on youtube and can't be shared so you will have to go the link below...

An India Kali Ninjutsu Master, who is also renowned Escapologist and practitioner of ancient Indonesian Penjak Silat has accepted a maximum security escape challenge from maximum security restraint expert, Pittsburgh-based Charles Caputo. This has never been attempted before under tested conditions by any escape artist and is being called The Worlds Most Difficult Maximum Security Escape Challenge.

Charles Caputo created this escape challenge says, No one has ever escaped from these maximum security restraints. Houdini and all other escape artists never attempted and avoided these types of restraint escapes all their lives. And it is even more so virtually impossible with the locks welded shut.

Escape Challenge defies the laws of physics as a genuine pair of Police handcuffs-- Smith & Wesson Model 100 double lock satin nickel finish handcuffs is used with a maximum security prisoner transport box-- Hiatt-Thompson Model 7082 Blue Box Cover. This is the ultimate in maximum security prisoner transport and no one has ever escaped from these two restraints combined. The Hiatt Blue Box is also locked with a maximum security pad lock and the Keyhole is Welded closed so once it is locked, no key will open this pad lock. Once the Smith & Wesson handcuffs are locked inside with the maximum security Hiatt Blue Box, it is impossible to unlock them. Under the most extreme scientific tested conditions, a maximum security expert and magician will physically search the Ninjutsu master including a state-of-the-art metal detector. The restraints are then applied under the most extreme conditions where the hands and wrists are compressed where any movement or twisting causes the handcuffs to become tighter and tighter with severe painful pressure.

Scientists, magicians and maximum security experts say this escape is impossible. Specially trained security experts are on stand-by should these maximum security restraints and locks need to be sawed and drilled to remove them. This special invitation event was for a live media performance that was covered by many news outlets.

The Ninjutsu Master has baffled scientists all over the world from Russia, Israel, France, Japan and USA in Psi energy research and mind-over-matter experiments. He is the only escape artist to open locks under scientific tested conditions. He opened a 4 billion code security lock without touching the lock considered impossible by scientists and security personnel. This Ninjutsu master also participates in experimental research projects with MIT, Russian scientists and secret government experiments that can not be revealed at this time.

The Ninjutsu Master is performing a mind-over-matter India Kali Ninjutsu escape. He is donating his performance for free in this never-before-seen event. This Escape Challenge is a fund raiser for the Salvation Army to raise money in the "Escape Hunger" theme. Ninjutsu master says, "This is definitely a test of the human spirit and I believe in the Salvation Army's work in over 100 countries makes them one of the best charities ever created. I dedicate my Ninjutzu Escape on November 29th to unite sponsors, benefactors and all of mankind to support the Salvation Army's mission to help people escape hunger."

Energy training and side effects

Two and a half years ago, I started practicing Kundalini Yoga with intensity in the aim of waking up this dormant energy that is at the base of the spine...With already a good mastery of qi/ki/prana, thanks to my intense practice of Reiki and other healing modalities, I felt it was the next evolutionary step...

Unfortunately even with my intense practice that included sadhanas (morning practice at 4:30am), I was not able to wake up this energy. I still enjoyed this kind of yoga a lot, enough for me to join the ranks of kundalini yoga teachers. It is true that this yoga has a strong positive effect on my chakras and on my well being. I don't feel like that when I practice kripalu yoga for example, usually after this yoga I feel sore... Recently I met someone, a hatha yoga teacher, who said she tried kundalini yoga and that it was for hippies :-) I am happy to be a hippy :-)

So if pranayama and sat kriyas didn't help me to raise the energy, I was left searching for something that could help me to do so. And after reading an interesting forum called Tao Bums, I found many advanced energy practitioners like me with their feet deep into proven techniques (not the new age people that talks about energy without understanding how it moves, what it does and so on - more like the scientific people that knows anatomy, physiology, meridians, yoga, chi kung). And there was a thread about Shaktipat (which is waking up Kundalini by a sort of attunement) and there were lots of good comments about a training called Kundalini Awakening Process (KAP).

... and so I joined ! :-)

This is a 12 weeks step by step process, based on martial arts (ninjutsu), yoga, chi kung (Mantak Chia), and various other sources. My teacher is a scientific, like me, and also a Virgo so it helps to connect :-) It is so fascinating to see someone with a good knowledge of anatomy / physiology and chinese / ayurvedic medicine...He is like an encyclopedia of energy medicine!

So I started doing the practice progressively, this is a daily practice that takes 20-40mn max, and is a collection of the best of the best as for energy cultivation. 

Last week we added 5 point breathing technique which is breathing energy through your hands and feet, as well as your 7th chakra. Combined with the many other techniques already seen it gives a big boost to your practice.  For example the first night I did it I felt water in the air above my head, like a cloud of water above me for more than 1mn, a very strange sensation. The 2nd time I felt fire but for a shorter time...After a week of practice unfortunately, I had a problem. I was at the office (after having practice the night before) and I felt super dizzy, my head was spinning a lot. Indeed I was carried via a wheel chair to the infirmary where I spent 4 hours trying to get up because all my body was weak and my head was spinning...They tried to associate my state with temperature or drop of blood pressure but there was no signs of it when they measure it every 15mn for 4 hours. 

While most healers would naturally think that problems/illnesses are connected to a lack of qi in the aura, there can also be problems when an excess amount of qi is stuck at one place. It is rare so you might not have experienced it yet but you will probably at one point. In my case, too much energy was running in my head chakras because I didn't remove the excess at the end of my practice. Indeed I just pumped energy from outside into my system and didn't ground it after. Maybe because I was not believing my teacher when he said this practice can have an effect on electronics around you, can create a field around you that is electric and that can make people react to it, and as such this is a very powerful technique... Not believing because usually I believe what I have first experiment with...

While we might think that it is really great to develop the upper triangle (5th-6th-7th chakras), you can't really enjoy it if your lower triangle is not as strong. Indeed my teacher later told me that ideally either they should all be at the same state of development or you should have a very strong base (1th-2th-3rd) with strong nadis in the legs, even if upper triangle would be not as developed.
