An advanced decontraction journey for dropping the painbody (armor/shell/ego)
The philosophy of the Inner Arts practice is self-disclosure, self-meeting, self-communion and self-melting.
By the mind's eye I mean the kinesthetic
felt-sense and directional focus of the brain. This feels like a
connection between the third eye region and the brainstem. While
directing the mind's eye, the closed eyes point in the direction you
are focusing on. Thus you can even look out through the back of the
eyeballs and down into the brainstem, or in any other direction of
focused intent.
Following is the full version of the
Psychosomatic Release, however as a shorter daily practice you might
simply track the blockages through the neck-shoulders and torso, then
the thyroid, jaw and pulling the tension out of the head via dropping
the tongue into the belly.
Lying on the back:
1. Feel the most prominent area of holding in the body--perhaps it
is the right neck and shoulder. Put your hands on this area and focus
your mind's eye into it. Go deeper into the feltsense of the area
melting it with the power of your mind's eye. Dropping into an infinite
void and then dropping some more, bringing the mind's eye back to the
spot if you drift off for a while. Progressively dropping consciousness
into an area will repolarize the nerves, relax the muscles and bring
new life and blood to an area, essentially making it more conscious.
You can readily feel the shift in "charge" when the body reclaims an
area and it starts to let go. The contracted body part will not let go
of its accord unless it is made conscious through focused awareness.
Use whatever visualizations you need such as imagining melting butter
or seeing gentle waves lapping the sand to melt into an area.
2. Shift focus of the melting onto the next area of holding such as
the liver by putting one hand on the right side of the heart and other
on the liver. After that the next areas of holding might be the solar
plexus and then the bottom of the belly. Progressively melt each area
as it arises in awareness with breath, the mind's eye, visualizations
and your hands.
3. Once you are done with the side of the body with the most
apparent holding move over to the other side and run through areas
moving down the body eg: the left neck and shoulder, then down into the
spleen, solar plexus and belly.
Lying on the side:
4. Hold the sternocleidomastoid area under the ear on the side that
is down and the clavicle of the topside gently pushing the clavicle
down toward the feet.
5. Push the top of the lungs by pressing down under the clavicles and hold to melt.
6. Hold to melt the jaw on the bottom side while working the scapula topside.
7. Thumb push slowly up ridge of shoulder girdle.
On back Again:
8. Place hands lightly on/over the thyroid at the front of
the neck and melt this area with the mind's eye, drop your tongue
progressively releasing tension as you do this.
9. Tap the thymus gland which lies under the sternum for a few minutes with your fingertips to stimulate the immune system.
10. With the body released you might find that pressure/pain in the
head is felt--drop the tongue into the belly drawing down the
brain...continue to pull the brain down into the belly by the tongue
for at least 5 minutes until head pressure is released.
11. Cup the bottom of the ribcage with the fingers and push ribs
into the diaphragm...breath into the pressure for about 5-10 breaths.
12. Reach under the mid back and press fingers into and melt the
adrenals and then the lower back, moving down to work into the sacrum.
Melt any tension, holding in these areas with the mind's eye, warmth,
breathing and visualization...progressively bringing the whole bodymind
into the void till it is free of static charge and holding.
THE MOUTH OF GOD
Opening the "Mouth of God" or "Bindu" Center to the spiritual
inspiration of the “Flute of the Gods,” cosmic mantra or logos. Also
known as the Jade Pillow by the Chinese. This area lies at the base of
the skull, above the first cervical (neck) vertebra is part of a pump
that draws spinal fluid and chi energy upwards. While lying your the
back...at the back of the neck, in the dip where the spine meets the
cranium place the tips of your three middle fingers and with the other
hand press the third eye region—while toning Huuu with the mouth open
for more resonance...and meditating by pulling energy up the
spine. To this add the Inner Smile to assist in opening the Mouth
of God—smile and extend the energy-sense up into the jaw and past the
ears around to the Mouth of God. It helps to wiggle your ears while you
are doing this. This is the fastest way yet I have found to work on
detoxifying and integrating this region, allowing a more perfect flow
of ecstatic energy into and through the brain.
THE POT OF GOLD
Pot of Gold is the completing sequence of the Inner Arts...the other
practices involved developing the skills and nerve pathways to get to
the Pot of Gold. Simply what Pot of Gold does is turn off the
sympathetic activation and removes recriminations and worry-mind; it
quickly stops all “egoic mind chatter” and generates Presence. Building
up and tuning into the parasympathetic nervous system, if your
sympathetic nervous system is running away on you, this may be a way to
balance the panic and hyper states of kundalini and stress in general.
It can also be used in any and all social and psychological issues, and
to set the vibe to blissful equanimity prior to making decisions. Not
only can Pot of Gold be used to alleviate depression it can also be
used to enhance creativity. The amrita chemicals produced in the brain
during this process increase visual acuity and transcendental vision.
This is a simple method of generating ecstasy, peace and equanimity.
You lie on your back on the floor or bed, like the NER worthiness
position make a J with your hands around the right side of the
heart—cupping your clavicle with your left hand, and the right hand
under the left-breast with the thumb pointing between the beasts. Turn
your head to the right, drop the tongue down into the belly, focus the
mind’s eye on the brainstem and silently repeat the word "peace" with
your gentle belly breathing. You can tone also, but beginners may find
this extra element hard to include with so much to focus consciousness
on. The more you generate a huge charge of peace-ecstasy with this
technique the more you change your nervous system away from sympathetic
activation of defense circuits, which generate nerve-static and high
blood pressure.
Right Side of the Heart
Thought-emotion-feltsense-chemistry-energy-spirit are different but
simultaneous aspects of one and the same thing. The generation of the
solar heart involves the two main factors self-love and individuation.
Self-love generates equality, equanimity and focus on expression of the
Muse, while conversely low self-esteem generates inflation, bombast,
hierarchy, usury, and enmeshment. Thus we can use the Inner Arts to
install worthiness in our cells and generate the amrita with which to
become authentic...that is filled with the Presence. Bliss is when the
Presence of Spirit fills that which was cut off and occluded from the
light of the unity of body, mind and soul (organism-total). The
"return" is felt as blissful honey moving into that which was in pain
or numb. It seems we continually want to go back and revisit our pain
so we can feel like we remember who we are. But this is just the
perpetuation of the memory of the false self.
The ecstatic
brain juice "amrita" is the Universal Medicine. It is the Elixir of
Equilibrium with which to conquer love and hate and build the solar
body. The amrita produced in the crystal chamber of the
pineal-pituitary area travels with lymph and blood and down into the
right side of the heart creating perfect entrainment between head and
heart brains, and the constant deep ecstasy of soul-embodiment. The
Sufis say the left side of the heart is associated with the mind, the
right side with the Soul. The right side is more palpable with the
fingers as electrical energy or bliss sensation, because the right side
of the heart has the most neurological tissue.
Turn the head
to the right during meditation or CMR and you can often get a sudden
influx of amrita to the right side of the heart that puts you in unity
consciousness (Samadhi)...that is if your kundalini is already charged
and you are spiritually and vitally open. The "channel for immortal
bliss" is none other than tryptamine charged lymph (cerebrospinal
fluid) entering the bloodstream and flowing into the right side of the
heart thereby entraining the brain fully into the heartfield.
Further
on in the alchemy the lower belly (hara, lower tantien ) becomes Solar
as well as the Heart. This sets up a permanent current of bliss between
the center of the brain (crystal chamber), the Heart and the lower
belly. This marries intuition with intellect, so there is a lived
psychic experience in daily life as the general course of things. The
activated Philosopher's Stone however is not the end of the game, but
the beginning of a truly human existence. Go see "91 Platonism and
Alchemy" video at videogoogle.com, it will tell you what I mean.
Through the Heartfield we establish the intrinsic value that is
love, worthiness and primordial trust. Love ignites being to its depth
potential. Deeper IS faster. Shallow is wasted life.

of Bruce's excellent books I found that this Inner Arts work is rather
like Taoist energy arts. The taoists have been doing the same kind of
work of melting into the body for thousands of years.
