Innsbruck

Yuck - stick, Chö!- therapy

!  Not cited in the Gyu Shi – the Four Tantras,

!  Formalization relatively late in TTM history.

!  Complete effectiveness if: how, where, with what, for what to beat and what intention.

The origines

!  Two essential origines!:

!  the medical gTermas tradition,

!  yogis monks and the Ngakpa, the laities yogis.

!  The two explanations are similare, the gTerma tradition emphasize the provocations.

The Masters

! Tertön RATNA LINGPA: sticks with mantra therapy.

! The Tibetan doctor GYALWA YONGONPA: a medical practice and the use of herbal bags.

! Master DIUMAR TENZIN PUNTSOK: a comprehensive book about sticks therapy which was originally passed by OGYEN PAL.

! OGYEN PAL had been teaching sticks therapy by the Dakini of the Light of the Sun, Nyimai Odser.

Sticks to vibrate body

!  Five long sticks and four smalls, traditionnaly with rattan.

!  Two long sticks with wood balls.

!  Two with herbals bag.

!  A single stick.

Sticks

!  The length of a long stick: 1 cubit (44 cm) ou 1 cubit and 4 fingers.

!  The length of small sticks: like the index and the annular. The third is 12 fingers (around 20 cm).

!  On each stick, we can write tibetan letters «!OM, AH, HUNG!» (top, middle, bottom).

Wood eggs

!  Wood balls, make with olive wood or eagle wood (rLung), the ball is like a egg :

!  chicken egg,

!  eye yack,

!  eye vulture.

Herbals bags

!  The little cotton bags are filled with medicinal powdered herbs:

!  Garlic, anise seed, ginger, nutmeg in equal quantity.

!  Black or white mustard seeds are used under provocations.

Transporting the set

!  Texts say the box must be white, yellow, blue or three together.

Protect

!  A ring of red thread around annulars of the hands and feet of patient,

!  Turquoise or protection mantra for the therapist (Dorje Gotrab by exemple).

Red thread prevent the energy bLha of the patient to disperse outside the body because it can exit through the annulars especially during vigorous massages or external therapies do at wrong places. For the therapist, it is this guard against an invasion or an attack of bad energies or provocation.

Begin the session

!  Medicine Buddha, Yuthok or Hayagriva mantra: seven times. Dakini mantra can be used also.

!  During the session, we recite inwardly a mantra according to the situation.

Relax or treat

!  For relaxation, begin by the foot and finish on the crown point of the head.

!  For treatment, some points are solicited. The points of the head are treated late in the session.

How to hold a stick

!  Held the stick with four fingers below and thumb above. The movement of tapping must come from the wrist.

!  Use the nervousness of the stick and the pulse of the wrist.

How to tap

!  200 à 300 taping on each point; 15 played softly then 15 strongly.

!  Begin always soft, alternating sequences soft – strong and finish softly.

!  Maintain the same vibration, only the intensity changes (soft – strong - soft).

With what to tap

!  Wood eggs: muscles.

!  Herbals herbs bag: head, bones and all the points.

!  The stick alone: rolling, bitting, rubbing, etc.

Where to tap

!  The «!royal way!»: vertebrae, moxa and bloodlettings zone, head points, muscles and some organs (with the usual precautions), channels Buguchen, Jache, Ratna.

!  The «!byways!» are network of points that we mobilize during the session.

… especially for

!  Pathologies of rLung,

!  Pathology of liver!: «!diaphragm white!», Chin Dri Karpo!, «!diaphragm black!», Chin Dri Nagpo,

!  Pathology of spleen!: exces of rLung and Bad Kan in the spleen, Cher Lüg,

!  Pathology of stomach!: stomach cramps, Po Log, the «!small erturbation!», Nyong Bu,!

!  Pathology of bladder!: the difficulty in urination and urine retention, Chinsi rLung,!

!  Gynécology!: the bacteria become activated, Scrin Bu - «!Qui réveille”,!

!  Mental rLung diseases.

No use when…

!  Infectious deseases, intoxications, great fever, grippe,

!  Skin lesions, wounds, boils, varicose veins, cancer,

!  bLa points : of yesterday, today, tomorrow,

!  Not tap on sens organs, articulations, fractures, lymphatiques network

Treatment of provocations

!  Takes the annular of the patient with the hand and while reciting Hayagriva mantra, tap with mustard sticks on the back of the arms and back sides.

With what intention

!  Mind open, focus on energy with sticks,

!  Spiritual power,

!  Be the Deity, recite the mantra and tap, soft – strong - soft. This technique comes from gTermas.

Crush the bad energy !  Light versus dark,

!  Positive versus negative,

!  Transformation,

!  We handle the sticks with our spirit, our soul.

That produced the hits

!  Harmonic oscillator,

!  Taping by vibrational resonances where energy flows can restore, revitalize, rebalance.

!  A wide spectrum vibration and wave vertical and horizontal.

!  Resonance phenomenom,

Tensigrity

Fractal attractor

The action of the sticks

!  The imbalances and focus at the point and emerge from the body by the point: concentration process,

!  (Omnipresent) rLung pushes blockages and the obstacles to the flow of energy:: disperstion process.

!  The vibrations dislocates accumulations making the channels clear.

Why

!  The secondary cause of the disease is the catalyst that

triggers the disease,

!  Each humor has her places in the body,

!  When accumulation becomes excessive, the humor flows from its place by invading the meridians or subtle channels and can go in places where are other humors.

!  An imbalance may occur because of a mixture or a conflict of territory between the humors.

What time?

!  Gap in time between the sensibility of the point and the diseased organ.

!  When the organ is not sick and the point is sensible: the channel is blocked.

!  The energy imbalance produces organic modifications if the balance is not restored,

Know where to type !  Connexion between surface point on the skin and

organs.

!  Signal of imbalance: when pressing a point, it is very sensitive and sometimes painful.

Decrypt the pain

!  Pain of rLung is not fixed,

!  Fixed and acute: disorder of blood.

Skin reacts !  Many yogis used (and use) the sticks to self treat by typing until there is a skin reaction.

!  Tripa or blood disorders: reddening of the skin cupping or acupuncture or bloodletting if the point is hot.

!  rLung: itching (positive sign). Similarly, sign of relaxation of tensions: the point becomes painful and the pores open, color of skin: darker or gray.

!  BadKan: white reaction massage.

!  Point painful and hard: stop and massage and cupping.

!  Point rigid: continue to use the stick longer: about 100 gentle taping.

!  Pain, inflammation or swelling: stop immediately, apply sesame oil, working the point gently with your thumb.

Comparison with others techniques

!  Moxas : temperature, heat a point to increase the heat in the channels. Bloodlettings, do the opposite, dissipate the heat.

!  Acupuncture: activation of potential difference, concentration and deconcentration.

!  Fingers: pression et depression, opening and closing.

!  Sticks: vibrations act first on the energy : its «!skeleton!», circulation, purity.

Spiritual healing?

!  A Teaching from the Dakinis. Sticks are the instruments of Hayagriva,

!  Visualization of the Deities,

!  Mantras,

!  Quality of our internal state. A machine can not do that.

Healing to a vibrating body

!  The body vibration in the handling of the sticks, the energy vibration by the Deity, the mind vibration by the Mantra,

!  Then comes the right frequency: the frequency of the taping, the frequency of the voice, the frequency of the heart.

Synthese: resonance and correspondence

Cleaning channels help to reduce undesirables and provocation channels

Clean channels = “crystal” music

«!If we are interrested by spitritual healing, the association of visualizations, mantra therapy with the sticks and moxa is an excellente combination. We can do much with it all!» Doc
