Some Situations

"..it helps to tell `em what ya told `em.."

These situations are applications of the General and Specific instructions without making reference elsewhere in the manual (couple of exceptions). With your new-found doing as background, you will see how easy and natural it is to talk about internal moving and faint matter, and begin to see consequences of faint matter removal. Some of these, and others in the manual, would make quaint TV commercials.

Throbbing Temples.
While your temples are throbbing or pounding, do this instead of pills....

Eyes closed, don't move or talk. Be at the lesser prominent temple. If they are about equal, choose one. Look closely at the region for lines or other connectors. If found, be at the juncture of a line (one at a time if more than one) and region, cut the line, push it into itself away from the region to the other end. Repeat with each connector until the region stands alone. Go to the other temple. Repeat the above until it too stands alone. If there are no connectors at the regions initially, the regions are standing alone. Choose the lesser intense temple. Be on the inside turned facing the region and the surface of the temple. Push the region out of the temple and continue pushing until you cannot find it. Repeat the positioning and pushing-out on the other temple. Finish with the gentle internal massage. Go about your business. You have just removed the faint matter that periodically has manifested as throbbing temples, but no more. Headaches also show up as other faint matter regions; this is a start. You can do it.  

Sore Kidney.
The left kidney had been very sore for a long time. He had planed it on and off getting sufficient relief to go on to other business. Lately the right knee was paining, swelling some, miserable.

About eleven o'clock one night he decided that was enough. He got up, went to the den, sat cross-legged on the pillow, closed his eyes, took a couple of quick breaths, then went to the top of the region at the kidney, positioned to look down on it then started to push down. Immobile, as it had always been. As he increased pressure the resistance increased to equal it. He breathed out, long and slow without letting up the downward pressure, then breathed in, long and slow without letting up the downward pressure. In two or three minutes it was clear the demarcation line had receded a little. That cinched the resolve. He would stay with it this time to completion. It took forty-five minutes of unrelenting downward pressure and the region was gone and with it the pain. Near the end, a string-size line from the region across the back down the right leg to the knee became definite. As he finished the kidney region he pushed the string down into the knee region and felt relief at the knee, enough so to end the session. The knee still swollen. The next two days he finished the knee region with intense abrasive planing. The pain and swelling gone. That was 20 years ago, no recurrence of kidney or knee since. One severe, one moderate congestions, minor network. 

Excessive Overeating.
In most cases you can go right to the region, but with urge what are you looking for. Consider excessive overeating as typical. Here is the straight-forward instruction.

When the random urge for the snack comes up, stop, right where you are, close your eyes, be silent and you will notice a (usually) vagueness in your mouth, palate, throat, chest or stomach. That is the region. Be above it, move front-to-back repeatedly and progress down into and through it. (Regions on the centerline of the body, front or rear, usually respond well to f-t-b and u-&-d planing.) The urge changes. Open your eyes, go about your business. Do this every time the urge arises. Exponential decay. 

 System is back in balance, no other part thrown out of balance--no adverse side effects--as consequence.

        Intensify.
A common put-off is I don't feel any region so I just go ahead and eat. Satiated urge is artificial and temporary as is an aspirined headache and as equally futile to attempt working on. When the troubled person (many excessive overeaters do not consider themselves to be a troubled person) decides to really do this thing because of regret or danger, then follow this intensification:

When the random urge for the snack comes up, stop, do not reach for the snack. Turn away, engage in an activity -- anything. Changes the subject momentarily. When the second urge arises, stop, do not reach, turn away, do something else. When the third urge arises, ditto. When the fourth urge arises, stop in your tracks, close your eyes, be silent, be at the region which now usually is vivid, or intense, or unmistakable. Plane, push, pressure. When through immediately engage in a task (to not dwell upon what just happened). Do this quadruple put-off every time the urge arises. Exponential decay.

Replace "excessive overeating" with any other excessive urge and repeat. EOTOI suggested for severe drugs, smoking, alcohol or any other situations.  There are exceptions, but don't use that as an excuse for not giving IMHealing a fair chance.  

NYC Drug Rehabilitation Event.
In the late-90s a TV documentary presented the New York City Drug Rehabilitation Program. Two scenes illustrated behavior due to faint matter being completely ignored by practitioners simply because they had no idea of the importance of the relationship and consequently no sense of how to handle it.

Scene 1: In the Rehab Facility hallway. Camera on the doctor, behind to the side the patient being talked about. The monologue; extolling the treatment and therapy. The patient; face twitching, licking his lips, nervously opening and closing his hands, glancing furtively.

Scene 2: Camera in the car, passenger seat. Psychiatrist in driver seat. Patient on back seat behind driver, sitting so as to be on camera. Car parked at intersection in small business neighborhood. Psychiatrist had been describing how the patients at the Facility were coming along pretty well with the medication, but in patient-to-patient talk they became uneasy when reminiscing on street action. So they were brought to the neighborhood (as now) and it really agitated the patients. After many such visits they seemed somewhat better. Throughout this the patient was clearly disturbed, face flushed, beads of sweat, lip-licking, hands flexing, breaking into the conversation once or twice nodding, agreeing that just seeing the corner where he had had many dealings and fixes brought up the feel of the urge to do it again.

In both scenes the practitioners were oblivious to the patients' outer behavior concomitant with the just-then-created faint matter -- the still-present urge. Medication may have masked over but did not remove either the minutiae-of-life imbalance producing the faint matter or its trigger.** Both instances were the ideal moment, standing or sitting, on-the-spot, now (see Urgency), for EOTOI to annihilate the faint matter and re-balance the minutiae, markedly accelerating exponential decay. Short of that, persevering patients following the written instruction (Excessive Overeating, Intensify) would make rapid progress.

(** Dissipating faint matter stands betwixt cause and effect (Two Girls in the Park) sidestepping debilitating peripheral Chicken-and-the-Egg debate (which see).)  

Bashed Thumb.
During pounding I whang my thumb. Things occur. First, Urgency. I am at the fork of two roads.

Road One, the usual one: Screech, fling hammer, wife hit, grab hand, ladder falls, paint topples, howling, much ado about it all leading to soaking the hand, pain-killer spray, resting, done for the day, etc.

What transpired: Immediacy gets my attention, but in the customary way it stays on the pain, reverberating through all pathways, gradually settling on outside help, while surveying shambles of short-lived chaotic behavior.

Road Two, the IMHealing one: Freeze, quick in-breath, no sound, hold hammer, no moving. A statue, immobile up to a couple or so minutes. People, except wife of course, wonder what is wrong with that nut. Gradually relaxes, opens eyes, resumes normal breathing, surveys thumb, gets off ladder, no shambles, hydrogen peroxide the skin break, Band-Aid, in short while resumes pounding.

What transpired: Urgency brought up marshaling as result of prior experience with internal moving instruction as follows, approximately.

At the moment of whang when all the pathways overload, first volitional event is do not move (throw hammer, fall from ladder), do not talk (screech, howl, blaspheme), catch the breath (part of rapid marshaling), close the eyes (to stop blinding open-eyed seeing), these rapidly expose the internal pathways. "Be There..."

What I internally see out there someplace is a basketball-size fuzz glob. I internally "feel" it as intense. I am scattered and wavering all over. With the breath stilled I now internally touch the huge glob planing rapidly way overshooting the vague edge and pushing into and through the amorphous stuff. Soon there is less scattering.

I keep at it. The basketball is down to a honeydew, planing not overshooting as much, is becoming selective. Repeated approaching from arm toward thumb is more explicit, meeting more resistance. There is less wavering.

I keep on. Down to a baseball, much more definite, planing is deliberate, exact, powerful. A dense center is appearing, the baseball diminishes finally to about thumb-size. It is clear-cut, dense, losing intensity. Pain has been lessening all the while, now is mostly gone, some yet but that's all right. In a short while I move, test the thumb. It's O.K. I relax more, open my eyes, breathe easier, look around, closely examine the wound. It's there but that's all right, a little hydrogen peroxide to clean it. I get back to work. People, except wife of course, shake their heads and really do wonder what is wrong with that nut. What do I tell them? Anything they will believe. Which won't be much. Or, I will have a new convert in one of them.

Later as the pain returns I repeat the latter part of what I did. Each return, the pain is less, healing rate is increased over Road One, sessions decrease with time.  

Foot Cramp.
Just as she settled down for the night in bed, her left foot cramped and curled inward. Excruciating. This was a Bashed Thumb, Road Two Event, instant marshaling.

Without changing posture she went to the region in the foot and recognized a very faint line going up the leg (she remembered being instructed to look for any faint matter). She followed it to the top which was right behind the hip joint in the lower back, where it ended in a small spot. She got above the spot, pushed it down into the line, then the line down and into the foot region which suddenly started lessening somewhat. She abrasively planed (Scrubbed) the region moving into and through it, various directions. The cramping eased, could move the foot, the marshaling began breaking down. She planed it, internal massaged it another minute or so. Foot, leg, body relaxed. She went to sleep.

When you find such a line, get to the uppermost end and work down. This was a simple network, unsuspected, undetected until the local imbalance and faint matter arose.

Carpal Tunnel.
While writing, the wrist swelling and intense pain finally surface, so instead of pain killers do this:

Sit down, eyes closed, press the wrist between thumb and forefinger until you locate the sorest spot. Plane the spot until changed. Move thumb and finger slightly and repeat. May take several minutes. Flex wrist to pull against the pain, plane different directions. You will know when the session is over, even though still paining. Rest. Overnight.

Next day, if still evident be more intense as follows:

Sit down, eyes closed, elbow bent, wrist close to body, pulling against the pain. Inhale, then with the out breath move, internally, down the arm from elbow toward wrist until you contact the region. You will know. Quick full breath, then push down against the region. ("down" is from elbow toward finger tips irrespective of arm position.) The region is immobile, it will not move. Increase the pressure, let the breathing adjust. Keep up the pressure. Do not "back up", keep downward pressure. Let the wrist and arm turn as they might. As the demarcation recedes into the palm and fingers, stay with it. Sitting stance may shift noticeably, Do not let loved ones try to do anything for you; they will only interfere and stop the action. When the pain is lessened, and even though you are not through -- or if socially interrupted -- stop the session. May have been ten to twenty minutes. Rest. You need it. The swelling will be there. Later, start again and repeat the above sequence. Continue the constant pressure down the receding region into the palm and fingers (usually little, ring and middle), and off all fingers together or one at a time. When the pain is gone, and you will know, stop the session. Mobility of the wrist returns. Go about your business. Repeat later if visage of pain recurs. The swelling will be there, but that is all right; it may take a few days to disappear.    

Arthritis.
When the pain is up or starting up, grip the joint between the thumb and a finger and move them around until the spot of worst pain appears. If the spot is distinct edge, nibble until too vague. Move thumb and finger to the next spot and repeat. Again and again. If the region is too vague to nibble, plane it under the thumb in one direction then again at right angles, repeat the two directions under the finger then plane between the thumb and finger without overshooting until eased. By now planing should be intense. Shift thumb and finger and repeat.

As you do this pull against the pain remembering that the intense spot is crucial, so don't stop. If you were scattered earlier -- ho-humming it -- by now you won't be and wavering will be much less. The planing will become more abrasive, precise. Keep it up a quarter to half hour. Then stop. Rest. You will need it. Let the region settle down. Do two or three sessions, then come back later. Let the interim healing take place. As time goes on you will look back and realize the change.

This replaces something you take every day to mask the pain with something you do every time you think of it to eliminate or reduce the congestion producing the pain. Pain killers overwhelm the internal contact essential for internal moving healing.

Work on the enlarged joint that has lost mobility but does not hurt -- established congestion laid down over time by the imbalanced living minutiae -- as follows.

With the other hand pull against the stiff joint to its limit then press the thumb into the stiffness hard enough to evoke a little discomfort. Follow any lines to the other end then push them into the region. Nibble the edge if distinct, otherwise plane two directions, until subsided. Shift posture, thumb pressing, repeat. When you recognize scattering, get back with it. This is your stiff joint, your chance, your effort. Become aggressive. 15-30 minute sessions. Relax and repeat as above. You may stimulate soreness in the joint. Great! That is change! Use the joints. Exponential. You must muster the quartet--effort, marshaling, perseverance, patience.

It has taken you years to accumulate the congestion, it may take you many hours to eliminate or reduce it.   

Toe Fungus Itch.
At night when the between-the-toe itch starts and it is too cold to get up, do this under the covers.. On your back bring up your foot so you can reach it. Press the guilty gap between your thumb and forefinger, e.g., thumb on the bottom, finger on top of the gap between pinkie and toe four. Plane between the thumb and finger, any which way, until through. Repeat between other toes until through. You will know. Sleep well. In the morning, wash your feet. 

Toothache.
She woke up to the swollen left cheek and severe pain in her upper jaw which had been developing over two or three days. She did this...

Sat down, eyes closed, two fingers on the swollen cheek, started planing, one or two minutes. Shifted fingers to another sore region, plane, again shift, plane. After several minutes pain lessens to tolerable. Went about her day. Later when the pain recurred, general planing revealed two lines, one going toward the ear, the other toward the eye. Doing one at a time, she got to the upper end and pushed the line into the region. Kept planing with finger pressure assist inside the mouth on the gum. Pain almost gone. Rested. Much later recurred but far less, planed. Exponential. The swelling took about three days to disappear. Swelling, but no pain.

Also: Clamp the teeth together. Plane the sore region in the direction that hurts most.

In another instance discomfort developed gradually and the periodic dental exam x-ray revealed decay around the root of #19 (lower left jaw). By the cold test #19 was dead. Too late for root canal, extraction recommended. Held in abeyance. So at home he did this....

Sat, eyes closed, finger inside the cheek at the soreness which extended a tooth ahead and two teeth behind #19. Planed under the finger f-t-b along the jaw and u-&-d. When abated, shifted finger, repeated. Several minutes total. Mostly gone. To bed.

Next morning awoke to much lessened pain at #19. Did this while in bed......

Finger inside cheek along the pain region and pressed the tongue on the region from the inside so that the region was between the pressing finger and pressing tongue. Planed through the region between the finger and tongue. When abated, shifted, repeated, pain gone, took a couple of minutes. During the day when realized the soreness was evident, stopped, standing, silent, eyes closed, planed between pressing finger and pressing tongue, few tens-of-seconds, done. On with the day. Exponential. #19 still there.   Stay tuned.

Before pain-killer medication, extraction or root canal, give yourself a chance. Internal Moving is more than just triggering a pain killer, it is an influence you exert to alter bacterial or other life-forms within yourself. Does that deserve thoughtful consideration?   

Hemorrhoids.
While the pain is up, position yourself to put a lubricated finger inside your anus alongside the paining region. Plane the region until gone. Move the finger and repeat until the entire region is dissipated. Sometimes one session, sometimes exponential.   

Cool Down
At the end of your cool down, lie flat on your back, arms to the sides, eyes closed. Be at the top of your head and move down to the first prominent region. Nibble if distinct, plane, push. If another region pops up, work it also. You may find the topmost end of a lower region that has eluded you. Disconnect and work both. As you do this you become less scattered. When finished, or enough so, move down to the next region, repeating until you have gone through the body. Do as many full body passes as your time allows. This can expose regions you did not know you had, hasten elimination of exertion waste and reduce post-exercise soreness or stiffness.     

Early Morning Racing Thoughts.
At 2 or 3 am you can't sleep because you are racing over the doubts, fears, what-ifs, regrets, incompetencies and all the other rumblings only you know. So what do you do. Most likely you fret and fume until exhausted or succumb to the TV ads and take $omething you bought from them. Standard today. Here are two naturals. Both free.

After you catch that the racing is under way, close your eyes take a couple of short breaths and upon the next deeper inbreath be at the top of your head and make the editor's curly-cue mark for delete--right out of your head--as you sharply exhale. Usually in two or three seconds you can't remember what the topic was. Good night, sleep well. If that is ineffective for any of several reasons, do this:

Soon as you catch on that the racing is underway, get up, sit on a chair, close your eyes, be at the top of that vague, maybe definite, region you now detect in your head. Start moving front-to-back or side-to-side (one may seem more natural, but during a session they can interchange) repeatedly over the region and progress down into and through it coming out the bottom at which time, if you have not interrupted it, the planing will stop on its own. Pause a moment, check for the racing, if gone this session is over. Any change signifies successful internal moving. If visage of racing is still evident, or if you notice something else, be at the top, plane, progress downward until coming out the bottom. Repeat as needed. You will know when you are through. Back to bed, sleep well.

While you are sitting in the chair doing this, things may happen. The planing may stop in the head ("..come out the bottom..") or neck, arm, hand, back, sides, buttock, leg, toes; let it, don't interrupt. It may progress steadily, speed up, slow down, get stronger, weaker, change direction, be broad stroked or very narrow. If you make several passes, all of them can be different. The planing may intensify to become an abrasive scrubbing. It may become a pressure against the region. The region may move; if it does, push it out the body or until you cannot find it. You may drip mucous, tears, sweat--do not stop to wipe up the mess, do that when you are through. Your position may shift, slightly, a lot, you may look contorted. No matter, your body is responding to the internal moving and will regain composure as the faint matter dissipates. You may undergo a series of emotions. Persons watching can become quite disturbed, because they have no idea of what is going on. This can breed ridicule, incredulity, intimidation or pity. Don't let loved ones "..there, there..." you or offer pills, sympathy, advice, call 911, and so on. They only interfere. No one can do this to you or for you. You do it and you are the one who gains. Would you classify thus conventionally "treat" this "trouble" as physical, mental, emotional or ?? These categories tend to evaporate while working with Internal Moving Healing (see Chicken-and-the-Egg).

You have just recognized an imbalanced (troubled) region (faint matter interpenetrating your living meat) within yourself that you did not know was there, deliberately internally touched and perhaps internally saw that faint matter, assigned an internal feeling, then exerted your internal moving (planing, pressure, etc.) to dissipate the faint matter and restore balance to that local community of your minutiae-of-life, thereby ridding the trouble. You used your internal moving to restore your well-being without inducing any adverse side effects under a circumstance you would have never guessed.    

Swelling Knee.
The left knee swelling was finally sore enough to cause limping, and hurt to put weight on it. Do this..

Just before bedtime and away from outside disturbances, sit in a comfortable chair. Cross the offending leg. Pull the foot toward the body to somewhat exaggerate the knee. Eyes closed. Start pressing the pudgy region with one finger to locate the prominent local pain spot. Couple of short quick breaths, be just beneath the finger, plane that local spot until eased. Shift the finger to the next sore spot , repeat the planing until eased. Pull the leg closer to the body to expose more spots. Continue until all local sore spots are gone. The pudge is still there. That's all right. Stop the session. Slowly get the leg oriented, go to bed. May have taken five to twenty minutes. Healing proceeds during the night.

2nd day: If still evident after breakfast, sit again, foot and leg bare. No one around. Eyes closed. Check for and plane any local spots, knee, leg or foot. Then with the foot pulled close to the body to exaggerate the knee, couple short quick breaths, be just above (hip end) the region and push against it, breath-disconnected (no reversal with in-breath) push steadily (a little planing may occur but the major effort is pressure) and relentlessly (keep it up). You gradually realize the demarcation has receded.

As you catch yourself being scattered onto other events, conversations, etc., deliberately come back to the pressure and/or planing deliberately more intense (re-marshaling to minimize scattering and wavering, which becomes easier when you do recognize the receding of the demarcation). Continue the pressure on each region down the leg and into the foot. Can get complex. Finish, or nearly so, the immediate pressure line then go back to another and repeat until all knee, leg and foot congestion is gone, at least for now. During this the foot may cramp, let it. Considerable contortion may accompany this, it is body-movement assisting in marshaling.

When through, and you will now, ease yourself back to normal, and if practical, rest awhile and let the leg settle down. Again there is a lagging healing period. Repeat the next day, and later, as the general congestion diminishes.

3rd day: Pudge reduced. Repeat finger pressure/planing on localized pain spot on inside of knee and half way down the lower leg. Similarly with major region on left ball-of-the-foot.

        Body-Wide Planing . . .
While standing, started planing high on the trunk above mid-shoulder blade pain region. Planing became intense, deliberate, about one second per pass. Gradually progressed downward into lower back, then simultaneously down both thighs, knees, lower legs, feet and off the toes. Left leg markedly more congested than right. Two more body-length planing passes, each noticeable less congested than the one before. Left knee, lower leg and foot still "plugged up", less intense but more delineated than when started. Took about twenty minutes. Exhausted; bed.

4th day: Left leg seemed better until weight upon it, then congestion definitely felt. Pudge gone. Midday spent half hour left leg crossed finger pressure/planing the clear-cut sore spots, knee, lower leg and foot. Tired. Late afternoon laid down flat on back. Immediately aware of very faint line from knee up the thigh to a tiny region on left side of spine just below waist. Finally! The unveiled uppermost region. Be at the top of it looking down and push down. Major marshaling. Took quarter hour to get to hip, then continued pushing (pressure) to knee. Considerable body contortion with t-m-y (tears, mucous, yawning). Leg tightness relaxed. Gradually the session abated. Rested. Leg more mobile, still sore, affected gait. Needs overnight healing.

5th day: Almost completely gone. Gait unaffected. Couple more days will be normal. Continue occasional pulling against the residual soreness-congestion with finger pressure/planing and internal region downward planing.

This incident happened to the author while writing this manual. It is included to demonstrate what can develop as result of congestion acquired over a long time, which suddenly manifests as near-debilitating behavior -- major limp, destroyed gait, painful stepping, hunched back, etc.-- and which is labeled various ways. Had the author let it continue it very well could have become worse, more widespread, incapacitating and easily passed off with "well, go to the doctor, what do you expect from an eighty-year old". Or seventy-year old, or 50, or 30, or your age.

Several points: Catch it as soon as you can. You must interplay working time and healing time.* Do not expect miracles ("if it doesn't work in the first meager session, forget it"-attitude).* While working stay away from people, even if they know what you are doing, they will distract you (deliberate OTOI excepted). Each session can be quite different, adjust to the situation of the moment. You will quickly learn about marshaling or you won't get anywhere. You must muster the quartet--effort, marshaling, perseverance, patience. Do not let starting late upon a long-established pain discourage you. You have no idea of what you can really accomplish until you do it. (Re*; Some lightly bound congestion, regions or networks are eliminated in a session or two.)   

Opening (Decongesting) the Back. 
                              "When the back is clear, many pains disappear."
Sit erect on the edge of a low, soft chair with your legs crossed in front, feet by the chair, so there is no weight on them, or muscular strain on the lower legs, thighs or hips. Trunk weight is on the buttocks.

Close your eyes, don't talk, don't move. Be at the crown of your head (where the hair whorls). Start deliberate s-t-s planing across the back of the head, firm, definite, barely overshoot, progress downward into neck, then onto spine, downward to tail bone (coccyx). Either exit body there or continue down both legs and off the toes.

Keep the planing firm, definite, abrasive. Planing, breath and posture will adjust to each region according to your increased marshaling. T-m-y (above) may develop; clean up later.

Make three or four passes. Each can be different. Follow any and all leads. When through, rest.

Later, maybe next day, in the same posture, be at the spine/skull juncture and start deliberate f-t-b planing along the spine and progress downward to the tail bone. In the lower back the planing may tend to spread out. Include the genitals and anus. Exit at the tail bone.

As above, three or four passes, follow leads, rest.

Both s-t-s and f-t-b may revert to intense downward pressure at a demarcation. Stay with it. You will know when to resume planing.     

Relieving Nose & Bowel Congestion.  An Aside.
Different than IMHealing dissipating faint matter, this was shown to the author by U Ba Khin , Burma, 1965.

Do this when your nose is stopped up: (1) Seated, eyes closed. Take several slightly exaggerated breaths, letting them taper off to nothing, so that the breath is stopped, completely neutral, with no pressure on the lungs--no noticeable exhaled or inhaled state. (2) Maintain the posture without breathing and without strain. When the need for breath becomes strong, exhale very slightly, just enough to offset the need for breath. Continue holding breath and posture without strain. (3) When the second need for breath arises repeat the slight exhalation and continue holding, no strain. (4) Same for the third need for breath. (5) When the fourth need for breath arises, take the full breath. The event will be completed by then. (6) If not, repeat the steps. You find out the results on your own. Sometimes it takes two or three attempts to catch the idea. Also works if constipated, no straining. If your nose is plugged and you are constipated, be sure you are on a toilet when you do this.     

Common Cold.
Internal Moving Healing rids or relieves pain, misery, distress, symptom--trouble--by internally detecting and dissipating the accompanying faint matter through clear, fully aware thinking. It is crippled by anything you do or take to dull that thinking or mask or hide the trouble.

Start early as you recognize first symptoms; many times this forestalls development of later ones.

Throughout all this, don't talk, try to be still. With eyes closed, standing, sitting or lying down--home, office, toilet, lunch hour, park bench, plane seat, mountain trail. With eyes open--boring conference, traffic light, airport, social gathering, horseback. If you are confined, have a pan ready; spit out the phlegm -- particularly at bedside.

That funny taste at the back of your mouth; place your tongue on it gently. If distinct edge, nibble until gone. Or move side-to-side (s-t-s) or front-to-back (f-t-b) just under your tongue. When through, move tongue and repeat.

The start of the sore throat; be at the upper end, if distinct nibble until gone. Otherwise s-t-s or f-t-b down through it. The planing adjusts--speeds up, slows down, broadens, narrows, more detailed, intensifies, eases up, changes direction. Let it. This is typical of all to follow.

Chest heaviness; at the top, do the above, also up-and-down (u-&-d) progressing sideways or front-to-back. U-&-d and f-t-b are particularly effective along the chest or body centerline.

Chest sore spots; local finger tip pressure, planing just under the tips, then move finger, repeat.

Nose/sinus congestion; as with start of sore throat above and/or Sinus Congestion, one type (Specific Instructions). Also Relieving Nose Congestion--An Aside (above).

Watery eyes; nibble if distinct edge, push out, plane, gentle internal massage. Sometimes Gummy.

Headache; push, plane, pressure, cut, nibble,......

You discover the outcome yourself, only then will you believe it. (Not always true; even after experiencing results some people still won't believe it.)

During bowel movement or constipation; Be above the region, plane, push, massage. Also apply Relieving ...Congestion An Aside (above).

General body-aching; select someplace, e.g., an arm, s-t-s down through it. Select another, repeat. Do the whole body; start at top of the head, then down to the toes.

If you have several symptoms at the same time (you started late in your ongoing episode) start s-t-s, f-t-b or u-&-d anyplace, you will get the hang of it very quickly, then localize to the appropriate above.

If you can't sleep, lay there and work on yourself. When it gets bad your urgency, and intensity, increase to match it. Best time of all to work. You will live. If you become overwhelmed, stop a while, come back to it later. Remember: Any change at all shows it is working.

You will know when you have finished a session. Rest. Exponential decay. During your gyrations do not let anyone try to assist. They cannot. When you are over your siege and look back, you probably won't remember much of this; it is so natural it just drops away. No big deal. Except at the time. And until next time. What do you tell your friends who observe your rapid recovery without adverse side effects? See Bashed Thumb, Road Two.    

Do This Just Before Getting Up in the Morning.
Soon as you wake up and are becoming alive again, lie flat on your back, eyes closed, and test for those regions over your body that are stiff, hurt, painful, tight, foggy, muffled, whatever, in your head, neck, teeth, ears, trunk, arms, hands, legs, feet.

Take a couple of quick breaths, hold an instant, then on the inbreath be at either the uppermost or the most prominent region in the body, taking in the whole region, hold a few moments and watch the region change. A little planing or gentle internal massage may occur. If needed, shift posture slightly to pull against the region and continue. Then go to the next region, just being there, no judging, no battling, but shifting as needed. Then to the next, until you have been to every region. When through, shrug it off, get up, go about your making a living.

You have just replaced your sense of battle with all your troubles and have made peace locally with many of the life-forms that comprise you. And why not. They are trying to make a living too. Many times your being friendly pays off both outside and inside.

During the day when that tension, ache, work pressure starts arising, stop where you are standing, motionless, silent, eyes closed, be at the region, encompassing it, hold, watch it dissipate. Then break, go about your business. It is good when your agitated minutiae-of-life get reassuring gentleness from your body-as-a-whole. The wise, benevolent CEO.

Not every trouble is war, sometimes it is just misunderstanding. Outside and inside.
