Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 >I'd love to hear from others who have 'obstinate' triple warmer >energy that resists efforts >to tell it what to do. Group, Judith, Can I give my frame, which is vastly different than what has been given up to this point. I'd do a different frame, ie, in the form of a blessing towards the triple warmer, like what Donna actually teaches and does. In your frame you used antagonist words, ie, " obstinate " , " resists " , " won't do what it's told " . The TW is needed and it does have a valid function. But it does need to have simple explanations once in awhile. The words you used will go into the unconscious mind, the mind of the Triple Warmer as if necessary, ie, " I need to be more obstinate " , " I need to resist more " , " I need to ignore what is being told " . So I build into my clients certain things that they can do that will " cause them to relax instantly " , that will " cause them to go out of fear vision and into peripheral vision " , that will cause the sympathetic nervous system to relax so that the parasympathetic nervous system is automatically turned on with a specific word said a specific way, with a certain way of using the eyes, with a deep breath-relax and expel. Things like that. on my group in the files section is a report one of my members wrote that has 38 ways of reducing triple warmer. Reducing TW, to me, can be done way too much which does cause a TW polarity response. I'd rather notice what I want instead, then notice what is stopping me from getting it, and then figure out what is necessary to 'get it'. John M.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Doc, Love your response. Too many times we talk about the war on ... and notice if that war has been successful. In so many cases things are not better and sometimes even worse. For example, look at the war on drugs. Do you think things are better in any way? Working with triple warmer like a friend since its aim IS to help us can be so much more productive than attempting to manipulate, alienate or bypass. From what I have read that can lead to a backlash further down the road even if it looks like it was successful initially. I'll bet TW responds better to thanks than criticism. I do forget that myself at times.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Doc, thanks for all the great ideas and reminders. That peripheral vision goes a long way toward helping to relax and getting energies to respond. Judith, I have an experience to add to this. I recently worked with a student whose TW wasn't responding to the acupoint sedating method. So I checked the acupoints for irregular energies and it turned out the TW points, and several others, were frozen, so I unfroze them and TW was able to respond. I also appreciate my TW's enthusiasm for protecting me. My role is to teach it to channel that enthusiasm where it's needed when it's needed .

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Yes, well, I do appreciate the importance of languaging. Unfortunate part of a typed conversation as opposed to voice is its hard to hear the tongue-in-cheekiness of it. Meantime, forgetting about this thread I posted my latest ‘duh’ thoughts about calming TW as a response to Susan Shanley’s TW handout. I suspect that I’ll make headway if I include balancing heart/small intestine in the mix, and think of BALANCING rather than SEDATING. Turns out, in my case, in Chinese Astrology I have a tiny fire element a great big metal. Before this week I just hadn’t thought much about how the 4 fire meridians work with each other.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 How true, Doc. Â I have found situations when TW feels truly needs strengthening and appreciation because of it's effort. Â This is also why we sometimes do a 3 point technique: Â strengthen/sedate/balance\ And, as we learned in Portland, sedating with the little finger so that Heart meridian is doing it is good because TW doesn't resist and HT has all the energy it needs to support TW. Â When TW is at it's most vigilant it only makes sense that you would increase it's sense of security and support before it would feel able to relax.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I always thank Triple Warmer for doing it's job and being vigilant and then have a conversation with it before doing any work. I go over the possible stressor and suggest it might not be a life or death / fight or flight type of situation and maybe it should only pull energy from the other meridians when really necessary. TW is your friend Just the conversation itself may help TW release it's stronghold on energy. If you do TW work, consider the idea of soothing it, calming it. And I don't do TW sedating points all the time. That would be something more in crisis mode (if it wasn't an instance that TW might need to be strong - like anaphylactic shock - sp?). Instead, I do my conversation - if need be, I tap the gamut point or TW4 (it's Source Point), smooth behind ears, do TW/Spleen hug, or a variety of things first. Go with your intuition and consider making TW your friend and work together versus against each other The goal is balance. This thread is a reminder there are many ways to balance. For instance, if Fire needs balancing, there are Fire Element balancing exercises we can use instead of targetting TW. I do feel that if TW is focused on too much and considered " negative " , it can feel attacked. It is intelligent. It is doing it's job. Donna herself has recommended conversing with it (internally or externally). I use a soothing, calming tone as that is my intent when the full TW burst of energy is not needed. If I followup with an exercise, I keep that intent in mind while doing the exercise - I am soothing TW and thanking it for working so hard and letting it know when it perhaps is not necessary / might even be counterproductive. It's a dance Many blessings, MichelleH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
