Relational Energy Healing

Oil change in Bali

Posted on 31. Jan, 2009 by Dean Ramsden in Health

Most people would assume that psychics don’t need to maintain their abilities. Not too realistic. Like other professionals, psychics need on-going training to enhance and update their skills, they need support from fellow professionals, and they need to keep their own systems cleared of the “gunk” they remove from clients. And so it was that during my New Year holiday in Bali a few weeks ago,  I found myself lying prone on a massage table in Seminyak.  With my eyes blindfolded, a constant stream of oil dripped onto my forehead from a tarnished copper bucket .

To most people this Ayurvedic Shiro Dara treatment is surprisingly pleasant, but for psychics it’s a unique opportunity. The warm and fragrant oil flows through Agnya Chakra ( aka Ajna), and creates a profound effect. The hour-long session was washing my third eye chakra clean of accumulated astral grime, seemingly penetrating deep into the energetic prefrontal cortex of my brain. Something in my Western mind speculated that the treatment generated a tiny electrical field through combining oil and copper with the kinetic energy generated by falling oil, but I choose to ignore myself and keep the attention on the clearing experience. Man, this feels so good.

In the map used in Relational Energy Healing Agnya Chakra is a part of the energetic structures of the prefrontal lobes of the brain. It allows the inner visual function of the evolving human being to place what is “seen” (or intuited) into a meaningful and relational context. We don’t progress in life if we just know a bunch of facts and memorized rules. We need human wisdom to sift through the raw data of our lives, and to recognize patterns and subtle nuance.  Only then can we practically apply what we see to what we do.  Agnya’s function is to provide us with that unique perspective: synthesizing the complex reality of the everyday world with the hidden realities of the spiritual realms. Everyone has an Agnya chakra, and uses it to some degree. The difference with psychics is that the “muscle” of Agnya – and the prefrontal lobes – are more heavily utilized. We all know any over-used muscle or body part is prone to tension and stress. It will need therapeutic aid, just like an athlete’s knee or a dancer’s ankle. Which brings me back to Shiro Dara.

As the oil swirling across my forehead dropped me deeper into meditation I had a momentary thought that I was in a psychic “Jiffy Lube” drive-in service station, getting my oil changed so I could run another 3,000 miles. Probably not too far from the truth.
