Creative Cycle Healing Sounds

Button Pushing

Think for a moment about what pushes your buttons. What causes you immediate fear, worry or doubt? What causes your immediate reaction to be anger, resentment or guilt? These are unconscious emotions from the past that are applied to today, our reactions (re-action=acting again the same way as we did in the past).  Beyond button pushing there may also be a chronic emotional atmosphere of grief, anxiety, depression).

Creative Cycle

These emotional habits are set in childhood and reinforced throughout our lives. In studying distant treatment with Ken Koles and Beverly Clarke I have learned how to begin to clear the energy held within certain organs in the body. In my book, Well-Being, published by Llewellyn Worldwide) I diagramed the Creative Cycle in Feng Shui. Wood fuels Fire. Fire burns wood to ash and forms Earth. Earth becomes compressed and forms Metal. Metal sweats and forms Water. Water nourished Wood to grow.

Each element is associated with an organ in the body. Wood is associated with the Liver, Fire with the Heart. Earth with the Spleen. Metal with the Lungs. Water with the Kidneys. These are the 5 Yin organs of the physical/energetic body.

Sounding to Activate the elements and transform your Emotions

Here’s the cool part of all of this. We can identify a negative feeling or a positive feeling we wish to have and “sound” or “tune” the organ/element to transform the feeling. Sounding on the exhale in a moderate to loud voice beings to move stuck energy. Attempting to sound the same note on the inhale brings fresh energy into the organ and element. Note here – the inhale is not easy or pure at first and takes lots of practice. But maybe, just maybe, spending 5 minutes each day in sounding is the key to overcoming reactive emotions we no longer need.  Try it for yourself below and let me know how you did. I do at least 3 exhales and 3 inhales on each element at a session.
