The term chakra comes from ancient India. Literally translated, it means
wheel. Chakras are spinning wheels of energy having to do with emotions
and endocrine glands. In locating the chakras on the body we will define
each region by its upper and lower aspects and identify them both on the
front and back of the body.
The first or lowest chakra is located between the inferior aspect of the pubic
bone and the coccyx. It is also called the root chakra and has to do with
security, such as food, clothing and shelter. It governs the spinal column.
The root chakra is an anchor for the body on the physical plane. It’s a
channel for the will to express itself. The emotional problem associated with
the first chakra is fear and is associated with a low will to live. Symptoms of
first chakra and balances include hemorrhoids, rectal polyps and
subluxations of the coccyx. The test points for the first chakra are inferior to
the pubic bone in front or on the coccyx in back.
The concept of armor was developed by Wilhelm Reich. Reich attended the
University of Vienna in the early part of the 20th century, where he had the
opportunity to associate with such giants as Sigmund Freud. One of his
primary contributions to the field of psychology is his recognition that
mental and emotional conflicts are in fact rooted in the body. All modern
psychotherapies that work with the body can be traced back to him.
Armor can occur in: any organ or on top of any vertebrae or in any
muscle. Armor in the erector spinae muscles can affect the curvature of the
spine. Armoring at C1, C2 or C5 can effect hypolordosis of the neck. Armor
in the lumbar spine can effect hypo or hyperlordosis of the back. Always
suspect armor whenever there is back pain. It can also occur in any organ.
Emotional upsets are stored in the body as imbalances in the chakras, the
body’s energy center. Organ imbalances are stored as body armor. For more
information on releasing chakra’s armor, we recommend the Chakra Armor
Release of Emotions videotape, also available from Excelsior Productions.
Prior to performing the releasing birth trauma process, it is essential to
understand muscle testing. Muscle testing or applied kinesiology, is a
simple technique by which the clinician can communicate with the patient’s
body. It is based on an electrochemical reaction. A test muscle will appear
weak when key points on the body are stimulated. In using muscle testing, it
is important to be sensitive to your individual patient’s responses. Let’s
watch as Dr. Rettner reviews the correct technique for muscle testing.
1. First find a strong indicator muscle. The most convenient one is the
pectoralis major clavicular. This chest muscle helps bend and turn the
arm at the shoulder. Have the patient hold their arm straight out, level
with the shoulder, palm out and thumb pointed towards the floor.
2. Push down on the forearm, towards the feet and away from the body.
3. When you test, be sure not to push too close to the wrist or overpower the
patient. This will give a false reading. Push only to the point where the
muscle locks.
4. Tell the patient you’re going to push down and out and ask them to hold
their arm in place.
5. When you say hold, pause for a moment to allow the patient to resist. If
you don’t pause, you may overpower the patient and get a false reading.
6. In order to obtain information from patients that may be blocked from
their conscious memories, it is important to get their absolute cooperation.
What we ask is “If your innate intelligence is willing to cooperate with us,
your arm will go weak with a yes answer.” Give me a yes answer.
7. Then you can ask “Give me a no answer.” Are you a man? Are you a
woman?
1. First, test the arm, have the patient think of being born, then retest the
arm. It will probably appear weak.
2. Next, find the emotional block either chakra or armor and find the Bach
Flower that cancels that out.
3. The third step is to complex in all the points in flexion, extension,
hyperextension, right and left rotation, right and left lateral bending.
4. The fourth step is the complexing adjustment.
5. The 5th step is to do the tail wag adjustment, both in prone and extension.
6. The sixth step is to do the CARE. In other words, all the energy will be in
a chakra, so you have to bring the energy up and out.
7. The last step you give the patient the Bach Flower that you found in the
beginning and they say an affirmation.
We will now review the locations of the test point for the chakras on the
front and back of the body.
Test the chakras just about two inches in front of the body.
The test point for the second chakra is right at the level of the pubic bone.
To test the fourth chakra, we test right in front of the sternal notch.
To test the seventh chakra in the back right at the top of the crown.
In releasing birth trauma, there are approximately 30 key points that relate to
the physical and emotional trauma associated with birth. These points relate
to the specific organ or energy imbalances. Each of these points must be
tested in all of the body positions encountered in the birth process.
The first six points are tested with the index finger.
C6 anterior left, C2 posterior right, T2 left, T1 right, T9 left and T-11 left.
Test the coccyx with your index finger and all of the centers of the brain
with an open hand.
Test the organs with one finger. The heart point, the spleen point, and the
adrenal point.
Test the elements using the index finger on the middle toe.
The third phalanx is called the fire toe. It represents the fire element. The
fourth phalanx or water toe represents the water element and the 5th phalanx
or earth toe represents the earth element. In releasing Birth Trauma, the fire
toe or fire element shows up most often due to the tremendous amount of
anger that gets stored due to the birth process, For more information on
polarity therapy, we recommend the dvd “Your Healing Hands, The Polarity
Experience” it’s also available from Excelsior Productions.
In releasing birth trauma there are approximately 30 key points that relate to
the physical and emotional trauma associated with birth. Each of these
points could be released individually in all body positions. Alternately they
may be complexed for release as a single adjustment. Dr. Rettner will now
explain complexing.
Therapy localize the test point by touching it and testing the arm. If it is out
of balance, the arm will appear weak.
Each time you find a weak point, tap the top of the patient’s skull at the
bregma with your fingers. Do this with as many points as you like.
Place the fingers together under the xyphoid. Test the arm, it will be weak.
Retest the arm and it will appear weak, if the procedure was done correctly,
because the patient is in a state of yin. In a few moments it will be strong
again.
If you don’t have a double activator, you can stimulate the acupressure
points using your fingers. Place your thumb and forefinger on each
transverse process and tap your fingers gently with your fist.
Flexion:The first posture was flexion. I asked the patient to bend forward. I
complexed all the points in the position of flexion. The first vertebra I
complexed was C6 on the left in the anterior aspect of it; then C2 on the
right; T1 on the right; T2 on the left; T9 on the left and T11 on the left. I
therapy localized with one finger. Next, we went to the hand mode of four
fingers for armor. C1 on the right, C2, C3, T5, T9 and S2. Next, we did the
coccyx with one finger. Then the centers of the brain. Right occiput, left
occiput, right temporal, left temporal, right parietal, left parietal and frontal
bone.
Next, we did systems:I asked the patient to bend forward and tested her arm.
Then we did the organ armor:Thyroid, thymus, heart, spleen and adrenals.
Next we did the organs: Heart, spleen, and adrenals. Then we did chakras.
It is usually the third chakra in the front, sixth chakra now. seventh, there
were quite a few out of balance. Last we did the polarity elements, tell the
patient to sit with their knees bent. Touch their middle toe and test their arm.
This is the fire element, the middle toe. We finished the first posture of
flexion.
Left rotation: Next we did left rotation. C6, C2, T1, T2, T9, T11; armor at
C1, C2, C3, T5, T9, S2, and coccyx. Centers of the brain: Occiput,
temporals, parietal and frontal. Next we did systems. Organ armor, organs
and chakras. Ask the patient to bend their knees to do polarity elements. We
have completed left rotation.
Right lateral bending:Next we will be did right lateral bending. Bend all
the way to the right side. C6, C2, T1, T2, T9, T11. Armor at C1, C2, C3, T5,
T9, S2 and coccyx. Centers of the brain, systems, organ armor, organs and
chakras. Ask the patient to bend their knees to do polarity elements.
With the tailwag adjustment the patient touches the forehead, that keys in the
emotions. Test the hamstring. Make sure it’s strong.
Then ask the patient to lift their head all the way up, patient is in extension.
Then adjust the sacrum straight P-A again. Then ask the patient to sit up.
To complete the process, we now retest the chakras and administer the Bach
flower remedy. A second remedy will show up as needed to clear the
remaining chakras. The patient then reads the affirmations for each remedy.
This allows for consciousness growth.
We tested to see which chakra was out of balance. Throat chakra. Chestnut
Bud will fix that. That’s the one she had earlier. Ask the patient to open their
mouth wide and place 3 drops under their tongue. Now the energy has
moved up to the sixth chakra. Test for one more Bach flower. We’re therapy
localizing these. Then we gave the patient Cherry Plum for extreme stress.
Put your hand in front of your forehead, but don’t touch. This is going to
draw the energy out of your body when we do the adjustment. The
adjustment is T2-4-9. Take a deep breath in, let it out. Now I want you to
focus on being born, think about being born and how that would feel. Take a
deep breath in, let it out. Now, the magic moment, hold your arm up, and all
that energy is released.
Imagine all of us being freed from physical and emotional trauma that we’ve
had since birth. I am happy to share this information with you. Releasing
birth trauma is actually quite simple and it can be done during a normal
office visit. It releases deep-seated problems that have plagued us for our
entire lives. It is excellent for your seriously ill patients with low vitality. It
will give them an energy boost they will never forget and they will get well
faster too. It’s a favorite with the new age patients. It will give them a
floating feeling and they will feel very mellow afterwards.
I hope releasing birth trauma will be useful in your life and your practice and
assist your patients in achieving a happier, healthier lifestyle.
