ROSALIA’S DREAM

 I had a car accident  seven years ago. Since then I have had nausea and vertigo due to the cervical trauma.

One night, almost one year ago, I felt ill; I could not walk because of the vertigo, I had a crashing headache and nausea. I felt like a boat in a storm. I did not know what to do. As I did not have even the strength to walk, I started to think about Lao-Shi. I fell asleep and soon afterward I started dreaming. I saw Lao-Shi coming towards my bed, and telling me what to do about my pain. In the dream I was told to wall squat holding myself to the jamb door. In addition I have been showed how  to do the movement  and what to feel inside and outside my body. A ball started to form at the level of the first cervical vertebra and then it moved inside the spine, into the bone marrow, till sacrum.

At this level the ball rested on the sacrum moving the sacrum forward, while the coccyx  was moving upward hooking around the ball preventing this one to drop.

At the sacrum half of the ball was outside and half inside the bone. The outside part allow me to be light and hanging, while the inside part allowed me to be balanced and grounded. In the dream this was the image to help me to go down during the wall squatting.

The image which allowed me to stand up during wall squatting came just after the first image. I saw Lao-Shi hand taking gently and firmly the outside part of the ball; rolling and pulling it through the bone marrow of the spine. During the ascent the ball became smaller and lighter disappearing at the first cervical vertebra.

When I woke up, I crawled towards the jamb door. Then I tried to wall squat and as soon as I finish the second wall squatting I went to the toilette to vomit. Afterwards I tried to do two wall squatting and the I went to bed.

The next morning I was fine and since that day I have not had vertigo, nausea and headache anymore.

I feel that when I use this visualization my dantian is moving freely.

LUCIO’S IMAGE

I was walking downstairs with Rosalia and  as my knee was hurting, I was recovering from a recent sport accident, I was limping. She noticed my effort to walk downstairs therefore she suggested to use my dantian and to move my sacrum forward. She told me to visualized a big ball over the sacrum. As soon I used  my dantian and that image I manage to walk downstairs easily and painless.

In the afternoon we had the Chi-Lel seminar and we did some exercise. Time run and we did some wall squatting. During the exercise I imagined to have a big ball in my dantian and a rope connected to that. I visualize somebody to pull me down from a cliff and then pulling me up. This image helped me a lot during wall squatting. In addition I followed the Luke advice which was given to me previously; I touched with my nose and forehead the wall, then I bent my knees slightly and imagine they were fixed like a hinge. Finally I went down using the image reaching a point comfortable for my spine. Then I let my Dantian to be pull up hence going up. I discovered with this method that is not necessary to touch the floor. The exercise is more effective and more beneficial when is performed properly.

At dinner time I was talking to Luke and I told him about the image , he tried it immediately and he loved it. During the explanation we modified the image slightly. The rope was passing through the spine bone marrow. We shared the image with the rest of the group because was effective and helpful.
