Shaking Hands-Make Circuit to Keep Your Energy

Posted on 04/10/2015 by Karen L. Semmelman, Advanced EEM Practitioner; JD, AAML(03-12)

Ever watch Bill Clinton shake hands with someone? He has it right—he extends his right hand, places his left hand on the other’s shoulder (let’s say it is Henry) and looks Henry straight in the eye. An expert in energy taught him well. By placing the hand on Henry’s shoulder, he created a circuit so his energy was not dissipated and given away; rather Bill Clinton’s energy flowed right back to him. Obama does the same–check out the picture.

So you ask, what about the Henry’s energy? Ahhh, the story is different. Henry didn’t create a circuit so his energy was freely given away (remember that we have 6 energetic pathways called meridians that begin or end on the hand, each of which controls an organ. On the hands, the meridians are heart, small intestine, triple warmer, pericardium, large intestine and lung). Now who has the most energetic power? Certainly not Henry– Henry got duped. The solution for Henry would have been easy. He could have placed his other hand over top of Clinton’s and then Henry would also create a closed loop, maintaining his energetic balance and integrity. Follow a bit further, if Henry was shaking hands at a political fundraiser, he would be exhausted at the end of the event from continually, time after time, just giving away his energy. Using energy to one’s advantage has been a tool for thousands of years.

For example, in Eastern martial arts, at the beginning of a bout competitors traditionally ‘raised’ their own Central meridian, (boosting their self-confidence and feelings of capability and success) by passing their open hand up over their Central meridian (running from the pelvic floor to the mouth); while at the same time, they would use their other hand to ‘zip down’ the Central meridian of their opponent, to leave them feeling vulnerable and weak. Now you have the tools to not be unzipped by shaking someone’s hand without creating that circuit and thus maintaining all of your own energy!

Business Presentations–Focus Mind at Deep Level

Posted on 04/03/2015 by Karen L. Semmelman, Advanced EEM Practitioner; JD, AAML(03-12)

Last week, the Crown Pull taught how to provide clarity and focus so the audience doesn’t fall asleep or get a sugar high from nibbling due to lost interest in your speech! This week, learn a deep tool that will calm, bring order to thinking, untangle inner chaos, and enable better perspective and focus to be a superb presenter or student! It also works well when feeling extremely upset. The Wayne Cook exercise was developed by a researcher working with bioenergetic force fields, and originally used to assist with the condition of dyslexia. This technique has proven so effective in connecting the energy circuitry between the forebrain and the reptilian back brain, that it is now used to harmonize the energy throughout the body. Energies may be scrambled due to prolonged stress preventing the nervous system from getting rest to begin rebuilding or from a defense mechanism forcing you to stop and regroup. Whatever the reason, the result is the same—an inability to assimilate and store new information due to the energy disconnect between the brain and the body’s energies. The technique is easy:

Sit with your spine straight. Place the left foot over the right knee. Hold the left ankle with the right hand and place the palm of the left hand on the bottom of the left foot, wrapping fingers around side of foot.
Breathe in slowly through the nose while pulling your leg in toward you. Exhale through the mouth while relaxing the body. Repeat at least 3 times.
Switch by placing your right foot over the left knee, etc. and repeat the process.
Uncross the legs and place all fingertips and thumbs of both hands together creating a ”steeple”, resting the thumbs above the bridge of the nose. Breathe slowing in through nose and out through mouth 3 times. On the exhale, place fingers in middle of forehead, push in and pull fingers to the temples. Return hands to original position.

You are all set to “knock their socks off”.

Business Presentations- Enhance Ability to Focus

Posted on 03/27/2015 by Karen L. Semmelman, Advanced EEM Practitioner; JD, AAML(03-12)

The audience was primed for an engaging presentation by a national speaker, but within several minutes many began yawning, fidgeting and pulling snacks from their bags… sound familiar? From an energy view, this person’s energies were scrambled deep in the brain and thus he was energetically scrambling the entire audience, so they couldn’t focus on the words even though they wanted to! At workshops, I frequently demonstrate this effect by having a person read several words forwards (they will “test” weak energetically) and then read backwards (they test strong). Of course we want to be strong when reading forwards, not backwards. I also test 3 others to show how they are strong energetically before reading begins but after the words are spoken, their energies go weak.

So, before a presentation or task that requires focus i.e.: to a group; teaching a course; talking to your boss; preparing for an exam; beginning a new painting, learning to windsurf etc., try this exercise and the one next week—Wayne Cook. The Crown Pull brings cerebral fluid into the head so you may think more clearly, focus your attention. As a comment, my husband, a law professor, does this exercise before each class!

Place thumbs at temples, fingers in middle forehead. Stretch fingers across forehead to meet fingers at temples
Place fingers of both hands at the hairline on the suture that runs from the forehead over top &back of head With pressure, pull fingers apart from the midline of head toward outside of head , about 2 inches on each side.
Continue moving fingers on the suture line over top head, back head, neck and then back of shoulders.
Dig fingers into back shoulders while inhaling deeply. Pull fingers across shoulders with pressure

You will feel a slight buzzing on and in your head—your energies are now set to engage the audience! Deep focus is further enhanced by the exercise you will learn next week.
