Q. Dear Donna: I have a
close friend who is the father of four children. He is caught in a terrible depression,
and he recently tried to kill himself. Is there any way that energy work can help him?A. I feel for your friend and his
obviously desperate situation, and I know that you must be very concerned. In addition to
whatever professional help you can get him to seek, there are some energy techniques that
could improve his state of mind. Try to get him to do the 5-minute "Daily Energy
Routine" (Chapter 3 of Energy Medicine) at least twice a day. This will
immediately help organize some of his basic energy patterns. Whenever he feels unable to
handle things or out of control or particularly depressed, have him do a
"hook-up" in that moment (Energy Medicine p. 119). All of this he can
do for himself. The following will need someone else’s assistance:
Find out if his energies are flowing in a homolateral pattern by energy
testing him while he looks at an "X" and then again while he looks at a pair of
parallel vertical lines. He should energy test strong on the X and weak on the parallel
lines (this indicates that the energies are crossing over properly between the left and
right sides of his body). If you get any other result, have him do the "homolateral
crossover" (Energy Medicine pp. 233 – 235) instead of just the cross
crawl during his daily routine.
Hold the main neurovascular points (the "Oh, my God" points, Energy
Medicine p. 90) on his forehead for several minutes. These points not only help to
soothe the emotional system, they also help us to think better.
Balance his chakras (see Energy Medicine Chapter 5). They are a
key component of the energy system. They store information regarding our past, our current
challenges, and our emotions. And they energetically connect us to the universe. Having
them in balance can help him make a tremendous difference in how he feels and in how
clearly he can think.
Trace figure eight patterns slowly in front of his face several times
and have him follow the patterns with his eyes. This creates a neurological effect that
can help loosen the grip of long-standing depression.
