Overcoming Self- Sabotage

Oversoming Self-Sabotage

It may appear safe to assume that, once we have made up our mind to use Psycho-Bio-Acupressure (PBA) in order to work on ourselves, we are fully aware of what we are doing and that our willpower is strong because we really have the intention of getting better. Or, if a patient consults us for the express purpose of improving well-being, it seems as though that should be the case. 

  However, self-sabotage can manifest in any of us, when a conflict arises between the conscious and unconscious. Consciously, the patient may indeed want to recover, but her unconscious mind may not. Without realizing it, she may be drawing secondary gains from an unpleasant situation. For example, a woman suffering from a severe depression may honestly believe that she really wants to get better, whereas her unconscious wishes for this situation to endure, as family and friends are concerned and take care of her. Somehow being the center of attention is a benefit of some sort. 

  This concept has been well explained by Roger Callahan in his remarkable book Five Minute Phobia Cure (scroll down for details) in which he discusses the concept pf "psychological inversion." Other scientists mention this notion as well, such as Doctor Patrick Veret in his work La medicine cosmogenetique ou l'Energo-medecine (Cosmogenetic Medicine or Energetic Medicine) (Editions du Rocher, 1991) or Michel Dogna in his impressive book Manuel du nouveau therapeute  (Manual for the New Therapist) (Edition Guy Tredaniel, 2012).

  Both Veret and Dogna also present the value of what I term "muscle testing" to determine if such self-sabotage is present. Doctor Jean Elminger from Lausanne (Switzerland) develops this notion as well in his book Rediscovering Real Medicine : The New Horizons of Homeopathy (Element Books, 1998). Doctor Veret called it "neuromuscular testing" and Michel Dogna called it " universal bio testing."  Whatever name it is given, the important thing is that it really works. It can be used to check whether the vibrations of a chemical affect our system in a negative way. In the situation that interests us here, it allows us to check on a person's real desire to recover and to remedy the situation instantly in case of self-sabotage. 







It is a very simple procedure. First ask the patient to keep his left arm in a horizontal position, and tell him to prevent you from lowering it. Put your own left hand on his right shoulder to help him keep his balance, then, using your right hand, press upon his left wrist as hard as possible in order to test his strength until his resistance limit is reached. Now ask your patient to think or, even better, to say aloud, that he wants to get better (or to stop being afraid, or to lose weight, etc.) and repeat the pressure upon his wrist. If the patient's intention is strong and if his desire to recover is genuine, then his strength will remain the same. But with self-sabotage, the strength to resist disappears and  the arm just drops (see illustration above).

  If the arm drops, make the patient close his fist and, using the point of your second finger, tap 35 times on the fold below the fifth finger as shown in the following illustration.
 



Repeat the operation on the other closed fist. When this is done, repeat the muscle test and ask the patient to say again that he wants to  get better and you'll observe this time

What Is Five Point Touch Therapy or Psycho-Bio-Acupressure (PBA)

14+What Is Five Point Touch Therapy or Psycho-Bio-Acupressure (PBA) 

  In the beginning, I was inspired by a "five point acupuncture" technique, which is taught in Australia and in different parts of the world. In France, Doctor Patrick Veret was a precursor in this field. Rather than considering the energy of an isolated acupuncture point, the initial reasoning was to to stimulate five points at the same time, so as to produce a printed circuit on the human body. Derived from the original energy that circulates within the meridians, a specific energy would start flowing within the circuit. Each specific circuit ( constituted of five points) was seen to correspond to a particular issue.

  I was taught this particular technique about eighteen years ago (i.e.,since 1995) , and I decided to use it in my practice. I learned certain circuits through Dr. Veret's writings and others from other sources. My purpose at that time was to use the circuits in order to deal with physical disorders such as hypertension, sinusitis, or sciatica. 

  Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.High blood pressure usually does not cause symptoms. Long term high blood pressure, however, is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, vision loss, and chronic kidney disease. Sinusitis or sinus infection is inflammation of the air cavities within the passages of the nose. Sciatica describes leg pain, numbness or weakness that starts in the low back and travels down the sciatic nerve in the leg causing sciatica pain.

  However, the results I obtained were a bit surprising. My patients did not seem to draw any benefit from the circuits, at least not on the physical level. Unexpectedly , their psychological reactions proved unanimous: they reported feeling better, more relaxed, with their usual stress gone. 

  After giving this a lot of thought, I carefully experimented for a long time. Eventually I could not help but draw the unanticipated yet crystal-clear conclusion that those circuits produced an unknown psychological impact. Let me now try to explain it to you in simple terms and by using a comparison. Certain aspects of our human brain and of our human body (which depends on our brain) share similarities with a computer; if the computer is not connected to the right voltage, or if its battery is low, certain programs just stop working. The same happens with our human brain: as soon as it ceases to be correctly fed, certain "programs"stop working, making us unable to handle the situations at hand that come our way. This comparison with a computer is obviously just a useful metaphor ( for the human brain is not a moronic-machine, but is a very intelligent organism), but this metaphor makes the whole process easy to understand. 

  The energy that goes to our brain and feeds it originates in large part from our thoughts. Thought is pure energy: the full meaning of this concept as well as its implications is very important to understanding five point touch therapy or psycho-bio-acupressure. Thought is an energetic phenomenon and its impact is not to be underestimated. This is a concept made familiar by quantum physics. 

  Quantum physics is  the branch of physics concerned with quantum theory. "quantum physics allows for particles to be in two states at the same time". Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics or quantum theory), including quantum field theory, is a branch of physics which is the fundamental theory of nature at small scales and low energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles.

 Of course, we receive energies from our metabolism (hence the importance of trace elements), as well as from our cosmic and telluric environment. A telluric current (from Latin tellūs, "earth"), or Earth current, is an electric current which moves underground or through the sea. Telluric currents result from both natural causes and human activity, and the discrete currents interact in a complex pattern. However, the thought-induced energies are the ones that have a major impact on our human brain ( and are liable to disturb it), This is also an observable reality. Each of us experience a glimpse of this every day.

  Just observing the way we feel when we are speaking with an angry person makes us aware that we are dealing with fields of energy: whatever efforts that person makes to conceal his strong feelings of anger, we just know it, we feel the energy that emanates from that angry person; that energy originates from his/her thoughts and radiates powerfully. However hard the angry person endeavors to appear collected, we pick up on that energy of anger. On the contrary, the energy of love coming from a person in love with you is warm, powerful, and beautiful. 

  Unsurprisingly, each time we charge our brain with negativity, our "voltage" decreases, and this is what makes us unable to cope with our challenges. The more we are charged with negative energies, the more we disturb the way we function, util we finally switch to different energetic systems, which can be systems of depression or panic. The particular incident that triggers our destructive emotion might be so unbearable that it makes us lose control or "blow our fuses," and this is how a "scar" is produced in our energetic system. Such "scars" have enduring effects on our future.

  To come back to our comparison with electricity, let us just say that if a number of fuses, which have blown in your home, are not fixed, the small appliances that correspond tot hem fuses will just stop working.  This situation will last forever if nothing is done. This much is very clear. The same process occurs with our human brain. However, just as we can repair the electrical blown fuses in our homes, we have the possibility of restoring balance to our energies. 

  This is where five point touch therapy comes in. By stimulating certain specific Psycho-Bio-Acupressure(PBA) circuits, an energy antidote will start flowing ; in a matter of minutes, our energy will be restored; relief will be  instantaneous.

Application Technique.
Let's suppose, for example, that you want to stimulate point 4 of the circuit against depression.

Separate you left thumb from your left index finger. Place you right thumb right into the angle that has been produced. Press firmly. Slowly rotate clockwise till you hit a more sensitive zone: here is the acupressure point you want. Remember this special sensitivity: this is what you will be looking from when searching for any of the other acupressure points detailed in this blog. 








  Nonetheless, if you don't find this sensitive zone, do not worry
too much, as it is possible that this specific area does not feel particularly special on you. Just press your finger on the point as shown on the diagram and apply a firm pressure. You can't go wrong because the surface of your finger largely covers the area you want to target. 

  Don't forget that a firm pressure does not mean a painful one: press firmly, dig deep to make sure you find this special sensitivity; the elasticity of your skin allows you to do that. It is of the utmost important that, after you have pressed upon the five points and closed your eyes to mentally check on them, you still feel the pressure lingering in each of the five points: the five points have to remain activated together for a few seconds for the circuit to start working and become effective.

  Also do not forget to remove your watch (because of the batteries) and to empty your pockets of items such as mobile phones, remote controls, and magnetic bracelets or necklaces, as these objects could interfere with the action of PBA.  In the same way, if you are working , doing PBA on somebody else, ensure that they remove all such items, too. 

  When you are working on someone else it is also important to mentally build a "mental shield", see the Fourth Golden Rule, to protect yourself against negative energies, and to wash your hands carefully once the session is over. It does not serve anyone if you become charged with energies that are not your own. Click here to learn Fourth Golden Rule for Retaining Energy Balance and continue learning.
