Mental and Emotional Therapy

1. Check the body for the over-all picture of the distortion to gravity lines; this may include all three nervous systems^[1] in their abnormal functions. And by re-checking, after using the Sympathetic and the Parasympathetic Techniques, through PERINEAL and other POLARITY contacts, it will show how much of this distortion was due to their effects on the skeletal muscles.

Where should the treatment start? Top, middle or bottom? If we say at the top, let us find out why and let the same question apply to the other two regions. Normally, all nerve impulses must pass from the brain downward, over the medulla and the spinal cord, the twelve cranial nerves, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic systems. A sympathetic chain is located on each side of the spinal column. Usually a patient is more conscious of tension in the neck than anywhere else. So, if we examine the neck first, we find the greatest tension, tenderness and strain that the patient is aware of. In the neck we find the locked impulses of the spinal and cranial nerves, the sympathetic and parasympathetic reflexes. They all seem to meet here and become entangled. Outgoing impulses are backed up, and the incoming ones cannot get through. WHEN THE PERINEUM IS RELAXED, THE NECK MUSCLES IN THE UPPER REGION LET GO ALSO. Locked up impulses of emotional tension hold them tight, and the Perineal Technique^[2] releases these energy blocks.

The neck is the most logical place to begin to trace and balance the causes of the stasis in either one or all three nervous systems.^[1] The ancient Norsemen pictured the neck as the rainbow bridge in their mythology, whereby energy fields (gods) reached the brain (Walhalla [Valhalla], the city of the gods [Hall of the Slain]). The reason so many impulses are blocked and piled up here is that the negative pole on the other end cannot receive them; its polarity having been changed, by resistance, to a positive quality. The 'short-circuits' must be dispersed. Then the normal rhythm must be re-established and balanced with the top; the neck outlet with the pelvic outlet below, to return the impulses and complete the circuit.

2. Correlate the function of the vital centers through the re-establishment of POLARITY in the parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous systems by means of PERINEAL and POLARITY contacts and techniques.^[2] BALANCE THE CENTER WITH THE CIRCUMFERENCE - THE WITHIN TO THE WITHOUT.

RULE: No relaxation of the voluntary nervous system and muscles can take place as long as the involuntary ones are locked
