SR Tool - Grounded in Our True Essence

Holly Nielsen
 

'I have been listening to the Tool for being Grounded in Our True Essence twice a day for the past two weeks.  What I have been experiencing is a bit of a revelation to me in the subtle ways of thought and feeling that I have used to keep the idea that I am "separate" and distinct from others.  It has led to a sometimes frightening reappraisal of these little voices that we all have... Lots of time meditating in the wee hours about this...

It led to a great feeling of opening and dissolving and, with that, a strong sense of vulnerability - a sense that everything "out there" is really "in here" and that we are really only our own worst enemy when we have these ideas that make for this fallacy of a separate self.  Difficult stuff!  And that great big November supermoon, the moon under which Osiris was killed by his evil brother Set, I'm certain contributed to this experience as well.  With relief, as the moon and this inner crisis is past, I have more of a feeling that now, when I look out and experience the "Other", what I am truly experiencing is another aspect of my "Self".'

TIPPs Case Study
'Celebrating, She Sings Herself'

The history of her joint pain began several years ago but was very much a background concern up to this point.  She complained of it on several occasions, separated by many months, and only experienced discomfort while eating very chewy food.  It always resolved within day or two.  In May of this year the pain returned in an extreme sense.  It preoccupied her completely, as she was unable to open her jaw more than ¾ of an inch at any time, was unable to eat many foods and was often in tears.  This also left her unable to sing and she worried over being able to keep her recent posting to first soprano in the high school choir.  Over a period of two weeks, the pain would improve slightly only to again get worse.

Following the TIPPS protocol, and having no obvious physical cause, the emotional and mental background to this condition in her life at this point was examined.  Emotionally, she was experiencing the beginning of the sort of emergence or blossoming which usually occurs around this age in children, it seemed nothing really unusual.  She had been mostly homeschooled up to this point, now she would be entering public school.  She had always been the “good daughter”:  well-behaved and at times almost obsessed with obedience and pleasing her parents and the teachers in her life.  She had been lately more rebellious and out-spoken, finding ways of being which differentiated herself from her roles within the family.  These small rebellions were often met with anger on the part of her father, which in turn caused a cascade of stress within the family system.  

Continuing with the TIPPS inquiry into the experienced physical, mental and disease states of parents and grandparents that may be associated with Z.’s condition, it soon came up that her father has temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) and seemed resigned that Z. would now develop it as well.  It was significant to me that her father experienced the beginning of his TMJ at age 13, the same age as Z..  He seemed to attribute it to getting braces.  However, further questioning revealed that his similar mental/ emotional states during this time were met with anger from his own father.  Z.’s father grew up in a strict southern Baptist community, where his compulsion for self-expression and the inevitable rebellion that naturally arises in the early teenage years was met with extreme anger and physical and emotional abuse from his own father and other members of his school and church.

Further inquiry led me to Z.’s paternal grandmother.  She has been heard at times to complain that her doctor gave her radiation therapy as a child to ensure she didn’t get any scar tissue from the removal of her tonsils and that it ended up destroying her thyroid later in life.  I did some research on this and discovered that people who receive radiation treatment for thyroid tumors often complain of joint pain and that it actually degrades the joint itself, often leading to TMJ.  My theory was that the epigenetic effect of this radiation treatment of the thyroid (by ingestion of radioactive iodine) set the stage for the experience of TMJ in later generations.

Because this physical trauma of radiation exposure was the initial and most obvious precursor to TMJ problems in subsequent generations, I determined to release it first.  I was delighted to find that Source Medicine has a releasing resonance for Nuclear Radiation.  The first time Z. listened to it she experienced immediate relief.  She listened to it twice a day for two weeks.  She regained full range of movement in the joint and experienced no more pain.  The following week she missed listening to the resonance for several days and the pain returned, to a lesser degree.  Following this, she listened to it at least once a day for two more weeks and since then has not experienced any further discomfort in her jaw.  It has been wonderful to observe her blossoming and striding out into the world; speaking out in the strength of her own unique voice and thriving.  She is also still joyfully singing first soprano in the choir!
