Is The Stacking Method Necessary In Kinesiology?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Christine.

Christine: Hello, Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. Thank you so much for everything you do. I get so much out of reading your posts. I’d like to ask a question, please.

I am a new Kinesiologist, and as you would know, this modality involves the practice called “stacking”. So when there is an indicator muscle change, the information is taken into the proprioceptors of the Kinesiologist by moving the hips and the jaw as a way of storing the energetic information to be corrected, balanced, and/or released.

Council: And we would say right here, let’s go over this. Is this comfortable for you to do? Do you like doing this? Do you believe in it? Is it something you want to do, that you feel you have to take the client’s energy into yourself?

We would try to say there is no reason for you to take on anyone else’s energy to help them. You look at the area that is in question and you do the healing. And the healing can just be where you touch that area, you touch that muscle, you touch that joint, you touch that bone, and with your intention send healing energy to that part of the body, and it will respond. You will see more of a response than if you go forward with the stacking.

We would not advise to do the stacking. But you being the creator, you will create in your life what you want. And our question to you is: Are you comfortable with this? And follow that feeling. When you can pay attention to your feeling and give yourself a chance to believe in it, then you’ll see more and more how those feelings are right for you.

Christine: Is this really necessary?

Council: No, not at all. It is so simple just to see with your intention this part of the body. See this person whole, and well, and happy. That will do more than any sort of hanging upside down, or holding your breath when you do this, and all the other modalities that other people have come forward with.

It is your responsibility to learn as many modalities as you can, and then put together your own way of what works for you, what makes you comfortable, what makes you happy, and what shows you that it is working? And so that is a major lesson. Find out what works for you, and go with the way you want to do it. And no one else has to do it your way. But you will see, when you follow what works for you, you will have many, many wonderful experiences.

Christine: I find it cumbersome, and it looks odd to the client.

Council: There you go. You have answered your own question. And why would you want to do that if it makes the client uncomfortable?

Christine: There are a few Kinesiologists that don’t do it because they believe it works without it. Is there an easier way of collecting the energy of the indicator muscle changes before doing the correction?

Council: You do not need to collect any energy. Just tune into what needs a healing and work with that.

Christine: Or is it completely unnecessary? I want to be a good practitioner and help people as best I can. Do you have any other advice?

Council: Exactly what we just told you. It is your lesson to learn what you like and what works for you. And play with this way to do it, and that way to do it, and maybe take something from another modality and add it to what you’re doing with Kinesiology. Play with it. You will surprise yourself.

Christine: Thank you, and blessings.

Council: And so we all send you all the love from spirit for you to take in, to feel it, to picture it, and send it out again. And then you are on your way to healing not only America, the United States, but the whole planet.

How Can I Overcome My Drug Dependency?

This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.

Anonymous: Hi, Council. What is some advice you could personally give me on getting over my drug dependency?

Council: Do you think you are in the same place, with the same thoughts, and the same feelings as when you started with your drug dependency? So we ask you to examine it and see how far you have come. Has it gotten worse? Has it gotten better? Who is around you? What is your lifestyle like?

And you have to get to a place where you are determined to change it. And you know that you can change it easily with the right thoughts and the right actions.

And so now what else makes you feel good? Does having coffee make you feel good? Instead of drug dependency, does being with the right people make you feel good and get your mind off of these thoughts?

Any time there is something that disturbing, know that you are in control of that with your thoughts. It’s so important that what we are trying to teach at this time is about thoughts. People want to know: How do I change my life? I’m tired of it being this way. I don’t like it being that way. How do you change your thoughts? You must get to a place where you can have happier thoughts, thoughts that make you feel good. And eventually that grows.

And if you can start one day just having happy thoughts for 30 seconds, and do it for several days, and maybe the next time hold happy thoughts for a minute, it will get easier and easier. But your intention, your mind, your higher self knows: Oh, okay. This person is where they want to go now into a pleasant life, handling things differently, having different people in their life, and getting help easily.

Your higher self knows what you want to do. And you wanted to be dependent on drugs. You wanted to go on this path, but now something is making you not want that anymore. And that’s your higher self saying, “Okay. You’ve experienced everything in this field that you wanted to know.” Now you are to say to yourself, “But I can handle it. But I can change it. I know how. I will have the discipline.” And when you are so determined, the right help comes. The right people come, The right atmosphere comes.

It is thought, and we say that to everyone. Thought, thought, thought. Everything you are thinking now, you are creating in your life at a future time, whether it be later today, next week, or next month. Every thought you have is creating your future life. That’s a big responsibility, but you knew coming in here that at one point you would get to the place where you can get a grip on this. And that’s where you are now.

Anonymous: Also, ever since I started my spiritual journey, I feel as if I may have some psychic abilities that I’ve been ignoring my whole life.

Council: Everyone has these psychic abilities, and it seems now everybody is sort of getting an upgrade and becoming more aware of it, which is wonderful. So play with it. How would you like to use it? Would you like to see things that are going to happen? Do you want to be able to help somebody with an answer to a question? Would you like to know what to do one day when you were going to do one thing, but somehow you know not to, and it changes the whole day for you and makes it great? How do you want to use it? Do you want to play with tarot cards? Do you want to get a crystal ball? Whatever it is, do you want to experience dreams that when you are awake, it happens? You can do all of this. Set your intention. How do you want to use it?

Anonymous: Or is it just my ego wanting to be different or special in some way from others?

Council: It’s no ego. It’s you coming to realize how much more you are than what you think you are.

Anonymous: Or to feel like I actually have a sense of purpose in this life? Thank you so much for all you do.

Council: Have fun with this. And what we see here, you will. Don’t take it too seriously. Don’t be too strict with it. Just see what happens. There’s a little game people play where they’ll say, “Okay, in the next day, or the next hour I want to see a red Volkswagen.” And see if it comes along. You want to see a man walking down the street and he’s got a top hat on, and keep thinking that. You want to see it, you want to see it. It will happen as you get better and better at this. So play with it.

Blessings to all, and have fun with your creations.

How Can I Heal Past Traumas And Lead A Full Life?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, P.

P: I’ve been traveling for ten years and I wish to find a place and people where I feel at home. I wish to heal myself and find my way and my mission so I can live my life fully – a lightful, meaningful life that radiates love and light to others.

I have many connected questions. Please feel free to answer one or more, or all of them if you wish.

How can I fully heal myself psychologically, physically, emotionally, and energetically, and my past traumas so I can live this life fully?

Council: The main thing for you to do is lots of sitting quietly. Whether you meditate or just sit still, even if it’s ten minutes a day, and think of what it would feel like for you to be out of your body and experience yourself as just energy. You’re floating along and you have the power to create anything you want in this reality.

Everything you manifest and every feeling you have must come from energy first. We advise you to do the energy work, to sit and create that feeling, and just sit and wait. Ask for that feeling and it will come. That’s the beginning.

Then energetically reach for the feeling of joy, whether it be something you remember from your past that gives you joy, or something in the future that you fantasize about. When you’re in the state of feeling like pure energy, reach for the joy, and in that state you can create what you want.

And how do you do this? Think of every part of your life, physically, mentally, and energetically. If you don’t know how to do this, have the intention that you want to heal all of this. Then let go, be in that joy, and imagine your life in any way you wish it to be.

There’s nothing you can’t create with your thoughts. When you’re constantly in joy, and you’re constantly thinking of what you want your life to be like, it must come to you. There’s no struggle involved. There’s nothing you have to do physically to heal, What you have to do is get into the level of energy and joy. And when you’re in that state, everything you want must come to you. There’s no doctor or counselor you have to run to.

You’re here now, as all are in this reality, to learn how to heal whatever it is with your mind. It’s a big leap at this time how we, as spirits, are going forward. You must use your mind to create, to pretend like a child would pretend, and see your life the way you want it to be. There’s no stopping what you want. The thing that stops it is not believing what you want, and doubting because what you want isn’t coming fast enough. You must take your mind and switch it to a place of joy and the perfect life you’d like to create. That will bring everything you need. The universe will supply you with the right people, the right situations, and everything you need. Get into a state of joyful energy.

P: And how can I manifest my full potential and my higher self in this lifetime?

Council: You are your higher self. You don’t have to manifest it, you need to connect with it. You do this through meditation. When you’re going through your day and there’s a period where you’re laughing and feeling good, you’ve connected to your higher self. Your higher self will take you in the direction you need to go. There’s no separation between you and your higher self. You are your higher self. It’s just that you need to get into a state where you feel connected.

What connects you to your higher self? Joy does. Again we remind you to get into that state.

If you don’t know what you want to do in this lifetime, if you’re confused about what direction you want to go in, when you meditate every day, when you work to be grateful for what you have, and when you do the work to want more joy, to see your life loving and fulfilled, when you keep doing this it must come to you. It’s the power of your mind. With your mind you can move mountains. You may laugh and say that’s not true, but in the future, people will see that it is true. The mind is powerful.

You’ve volunteered to come into this life to have challenges. And with your mind, with the power of light, with the power of joy and happiness, you planned to change your life and bring whatever you want into it.

P: How can I manage the darkish energies that sometimes manifest strongly in me?

Council: How do you see this dark energy? Do you see it as something evil? Do you see it as depression? Do you see it as fear? This darkish energy you speak of is only thoughts you connect with that you’re afraid are around you, thoughts you feel some uncomfortableness with, and so you feel it is dark energy.

When you feel this uncomfortableness, it’s because whatever you’re thinking, whatever you’re doing, doesn’t agree with your higher self. Your higher self will have you feeling uncomfortable. And when you feel this way what can happen is you say: What am I thinking of? Let me let go of that and go back and search for the feeling of joy.

The dark energy is just your higher self saying: Okay, you’re going off your path right now. Come back to the joy. Come back to seeing yourself surrounded by light. Come back to seeing yourself as a spirit with so much power, and the thought of coming here to have the fun of changing everything. When you do this you won’t feel the dark energy. It’s only your thoughts you need to change.

Have fun on your journey. We’re here to support you, help you, and cheer you on. Have fun. That was your idea coming into this reality. Enjoy the adventure.

Listen to the entire 9-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for P and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it. You can also ask The Council your own question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages.

Can You Rewrite Your Soul Contract?

This post answer questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, LoveHearsAll, who ask if a person can rewrite their soul contract and closeout early so their mission is revised and completed at an earlier age?

The Council says you can always rewrite your soul contracts with other people.

Yes, you can close out earlier, but when you do this there will be unfinished business that you would return to in a future lifetime.

You can opt out of a soul contract if you commit suicide, but like closing out earlier, what you haven’t finished in your current life you’ll have to finish in another lifetime.

You can decide to no longer complete the role you assigned to yourself in spirit in your current lifetime. All of these things can change by your intention and by you intuitively following how you feel.

Remember that your higher self (which is who you truly are) knows what you were trying to accomplish and knows if you really want to finish that in this lifetime. If you want to finish what you planned you won’t opt out early, but your life will change. The path you’re on will change. Your lesson will change. Your life will become easier for you.

When your life is finished and you return to spirit and review this life, and you’re ready to come back into a human reality, you’ll have the chance to experience that lesson with another person, or with the same person, until you’re both satisfied the contract is complete.

When you rewrite your soul contract, this doesn’t mean you’re rewriting your whole life and changing everything. You rewrite the part that’s most difficult for you. Your life would continue, but that one part that’s too much for you at this time will be lived in another lifetime.

The Council speculates that what LoveHealsAll means when he says “close out early,” is either finish the lesson they’ve contracted for or finishing their current lifetime. Either one can be done, It’s your choice.

Regarding the part of the question about the mission being completed at an earlier age, The Council says you can’t complete something you wanted to learn, at an age earlier than where you are now unless you create another similar lifetime where you change everything and complete it. You can’t complete a soul contract earlier in the life you’re currently in because you’ve passed that time period.

Listen to the entire 4-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for LoveHealsAll and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask your own question.

What Can I Do to Have Good Health?

This interesting post contains questions from a reader named Marie, who asks The Council about issues with her health. Marie’s been healthy most of her life, but starting over six years ago she’s experienced breast cancer, lymphoma, and skin cancer, one after the other.

The Council says Marie needs to fully understand that going through these different illnesses doesn’t have anything to do with being a bad person, and has nothing to do with what she believes as karma (her illnesses aren’t payment for things she’s done in other lifetimes). She’s experiencing these illnesses so she can balance her energy.

In this lifetime and other lifetimes it’s the intent behind Marie’s words and actions and what she wishes for other people that creates this imbalance of energy when these words, actions, or thoughts are negative. As Marie came into this lifetime, her focus was on what she desires to bring into balance.

Next The Council said something about Marie not having to experience what she’s created, but she needs to understand it and learn the reality she’s living is the most important one because it’s creating the energy that needs to be balanced, and it’s creating an easier lifetime when she goes forward into other lifetimes.

At this point in the session, The Council asked Bob (as they frequently do) if this is understood, and Bob said, “No”. After a little laughter on both The Council and Bob’s part, they attempted to re-explain.

The Council said if you don’t understand when people go through poverty in another lifetime, you would experience going through poverty at some point in your future lives to try and understand it better. As you grasp that you’re going through this poverty, The Council says you can experience compassion for yourself.

When you can accept the experience of poverty (or in Marie’s case, illness) without judgement (whether you judge yourself for creating it or you judge it as a horrible situation that you’re angry about), you are balancing this energy, and when you do this with understanding and love, the poverty or illness will cease to exist.

The Council says there were a few lifetimes for Marie where there was no patience on her part for being around people who were sick. There was a time where there was a loss of a limb and there was a lot of sadness and judgement against what Marie experienced as her God. In another lifetime Marie was angry for experiencing bad luck.

Now Marie is setting up her life to go through these illnesses, not to judge them or be angry for going through them, but to simply understand this is what it’s like and to work through it. And in that understanding and peacefulness of wanting to learn and grow and take the next leap on her spiritual path, future illness will not be necessary.

Marie asked if she planned these illnesses before she incarnated into this physical life, and The Council says, definitely yes.

Marie asks what more she can do to get on a stable path of good health? She feels like she’s on some kind of a loop. The Council says this feeling of being on a loop is because she’s trying to balance many other lifetimes in her current lifetime. They suggest she think of all the health issues she’s experienced in her current lifetime and in a peaceful way, accept that she’s created this to understand it, feel what this is like, and to keep moving forward.

The Council adds that this situation of illness after illness is able to easily turn around for Marie, and if she is able to calmly come to a place of understanding what the illnesses feel like, these illnesses will disappear.

The Council closes by saying that in the greater scheme of things the experience of these illnesses is a good thing for Marie because as she accepts this and wonders about it in a calm way without judging it, she is creating wonderful energy for future lifetimes.

Listen to our entire 10-minute session with The Council to hear all their guidance on balancing and understanding illness for Marie and the rest of us, and let us know how you feel about this, or ask a different question.

Are We Really Channeling Divine Energy When We Perform Reiki?

This post is inspired by some excellent questions from a reader named Marie about a healing technique called Reiki. Marie asks about Reiki’s validity, whether she’s really channeling divine energy when she performs Reiki, and whether the person receiving Reiki can receive the same energy just by meditating and visualizing the energy coming to them.

The Council says there’s a single great healing force. And because of the existence we’ve created on Earth, people are able to tune into this healing energy through many different paths, including Reiki, and we are drawn to the path we’ve used in other lifetimes or feels familiar.

The Council says when you believe you’re able to heal without any formal training it can be done. They say healing occurs by intention, by wanting the best for the person receiving the healing, seeing them whole and getting them to see themselves as whole and healed. Healing happens when our spirit decides to accept this energy.

The Council points out we are already healed and whole. They say what we’re going through creates the sickness because there’s something we need to learn from going through this, but as soon as we remember who we truly are as spiritual beings and decide to let the healing energy in, the wholeness is remembered and the healing occurs.

The Council says many people love the idea of going to school, but they say healing happens whether you are trained or not, because the healing is all around us. They recommend we enjoy the different healing modalities. When we feel the healing, know it’s always there for us and that we’ve decided to let the healing energy in.

In Reiki there are certain healing symbols that are used and Marie asks if they’re necessary. The Council says they aren’t necessary, but if they help you believe you are working with the healing energy and it helps the recipient feel this energy, by all means use them. They add that whatever it is that helps us connect to the idea we can help another, use it.

Marie finishes up by saying after she received Reiki training she felt the formality of the training was becoming obsolete and asks if this is the case. The Council says this is a belief. Believing the formality is necessary makes it necessary, but if you believe the formality isn’t necessary it becomes unnecessary.

The Council says Marie has done healing in other lifetimes and Reiki is how she’s connecting to this healing in this lifetime. If her training enables her to connect with something magical and powerful, they suggest she use the formality.

At the beginning of the session one of our cats began playing with a toy and making noise. When Bob got up to stop the noise, The Council said it’s a vibration of fun and happiness that should never be eliminated and to let the cats enjoy themselves. This is included in the recording below as, 1. “Prelude”. Listen to the entire session with The Council to hear all their guidance on healing for Marie and the rest of us, and let us know what you think.

Healing Ovarian Cancer

This post is about an excellent question from Katie, who was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer and would like to know if there’s “a way I can get my higher self to work with and through me to cure myself of this cancer?” And she asks, “How does one renegotiate a life plan that seems to suck, and rewrite or edit it to remove the suffering, and attract health and a happier and more fulfilling life?”

Katie’s question indicates a general awareness of the spiritual principals discussed in other posts in this blog, but she’s looking for guidance on how to apply them in her specific situation.

The first thing The Council mentions is Katie’s beliefs about cancer and how sick she gets when she has chemotherapy. The say because she expects to experience being sick from chemo, she is creating that experience.

Next they tell Katie her spirit created this cancer as a way to get her to sit and think about what is spiritually lacking in her life.

The Council reminds Katie the physical body isn’t solid. There’s space between the structures of her body. And spirit is always flowing an energetic life force to feed the body. On a physical level when you don’t allow this force to flow freely through you, eventually it will cause physical problems. And what stops this flow of energy is fear.

Katie’s spirit created this cancer to look at the fear within her. So as she asks where in her body is the fear, and why is the energy not flowing there, The Council reminds her to think of this fear as fluid, not solid. It is there to be felt, to be perceived differently, and to flow through her and out of her body.

The Council suggests allowing the energy of love to flow freely throughout her body, picturing it any way she can. And ask her body to show her the fear and ask why it’s not moving. As she begins to feel this energy of love flowing more and more throughout her body she can notice it taking away the nauseousness from the chemo. This movement and love will help her get to the point where she can heal this cancer.

This cancer wasn’t created for Katie to suffer. It was created by her spirit for her to stop and change how she perceives herself, how she perceives things she’s experienced, how she’s dealt with emotional and physical hurts in the past, and to now change this. This is how she renegotiates her life plan. She changes how she perceives herself and who she really is. She changes how she perceives what will happen in the future while working through this cancer.

The Council says just with the intention of finding the love within her, just with the intention of having that fluid movement, just with the intention of connecting with spirit she will begin this healing process. Even if she doesn’t know what she’s doing in the beginning, it is her intention to start this healing and find the answers she needs. Even if she doesn’t know how to picture this fluid movement in the beginning, her intention that she wants to do this will already begin her healing.

Listen to the entire 25-minute session with The Council below to receive all of their guidance, and let us know what you think.
