Chart No. 23
[See Book 3, Chart 23]
This is an illustration of a double contact on both shoulders, with the operator's fingers stimulating the area in front just above the collar bone, for the pneumogastric [vagus nerve, CN X] and spinal accessory nerves [CN XI] as well as other polarity reflexes from the abdomen, while the thumbs grip the muscles of the shoulder for steadying the hands and completing the polarity contact.
The process is one of holding firmly and gripping the area with also a slight rocking motion. Repeat this several times, BUT HOLD STILL WHILE THE BELCHING GOES ON.
The operator's knee acts as a fulcrum and support against which the back is gently pulled. This knee support is moved up and down the spine, wherever the best results are obtained by the response of gas pressure release. The upper contact remains the same for this particular movement.
FIGURE 2 indicates a thumb contact along the spinal groove on either side, with a gentle flexion of the head against the contact, for stimulation and gas release, especially over the third, fourth and fifth cervical vertebrae [C3, C4, C5] for brachial plexus and stomach release as well as the polarity action of the two phrenic nerves on the diaphragm.
