The mid-back sequence
A read of this page, with the plate.
Name. Permission. Alone in the field. Age. Then the muscle — and only then the meridian.
Course 01 closes in the body, not the notebook. Class 1 put students in groups and ran one sequence: four opening questions, then the mid-back. Every later session still starts here. You already have the pieces — muscle testing, presenting age, the five emotions, week-one channels, cords, the slow trace. This is the order they belong in.
The opening four
- 1. Is this the name?
- 2. Is it all right if we talk with you?
- 3. Are you all alone in your auric field?
- 4. Are you the age you stated?
These are not small talk. A yield on permission is a stop. A yield on 'alone' is a cord or a split — you do not run a meridian through occupied space. A yield on age is presenting age, not a lie. Calibrate the name first, the same way you did in the body-dialog lesson.
The sequence
Class 1 Lab — break into groups to do the initial sequence / mid-back.
Opening questions
- 1. Is this client's name?
- 2. Is it all right if we talk with you?
- 3. Are you all alone in your auric field?
- 4. Are you client's age years old?
Questions for Balancing Muscles
- 1. Is it O.K. to ask questions about your mid-back muscles?
- 2. Is the energy field of your (muscle) optimal (just the way you like it)?
- 3. Is it too tight? Too loose?
- 4. Is one side tighter than the other?
- 5. Is this side tighter? (ask each side)
- 6. Is the meridian associated with this muscle out of balance?
- 7. Is it the ______ meridian?
- 8. Is this about (emotion)?
- 9. Do you know when this started? Before 20, 10, 5 — determine age
- 10. What happened when you were (age) years old? (this to the client, not the body)
- 11. Listen to the client's story
- 12. Body, is that the issue?
- 13. Is that stuck in the ______ meridian?
- 14. Is that the best one to start with?
- 15. Are there any cords in / out?
- 16. Is it O.K. to run the _______ meridian now? Trace meridian slowly
(There is no step 17 in the Class 1 PDF.)
- 18. Is the _______ meridian balanced now?
- 19. Does that feel better?
- 20. Is there another meridian that needs balancing in conjunction with the (muscle)?
- 21. Now is this muscle going to be balanced?
How you use the lab
On yourself. Strong holds; yield gives. If a step says stop, you stop. Question 10 is speech; question 11 is listening — there is no muscle test for a story. There is no step 17; after permission to run, you trace, then ask whether the meridian is balanced. Occupancy still holds after the last yes: if the field was not one person, you asked that first.
Practice
Walk the lab on your own mid-back. Journal one sentence: what the body said first, and whether you stopped anywhere.
Check
The four opening questions of a Class 1 session are:
- Favorite color, rising sign, crystals, and a mantra
- Name, permission to talk, alone in the auric field, and stated age ✓
- Which chakra is prettiest, then the whole Living Clock
Name, talk, alone, age.
“What happened when you were that age?” is asked of:
- The body, by muscle test, so you do not have to listen
- The person — then you listen. The body confirms afterward ✓
- A medical chart from childhood
Question 10 is speech; question 11 is listening.
If the mid-back field tests already optimal, you should:
- Trace all twelve meridians anyway, to be thorough
- Stop inventing work. The session can close ✓
- Press harder until you find a problem
Optimal means the way it likes it.
There is no step 17 in the Class 1 PDF; after permission to run, you:
- Trace, then ask whether the meridian is balanced (18) ✓
- Invent a missing step so the list looks complete
- Prescribe the mid-back
PDF skips 17. Do not invent it.
Mid-back is the Class 1 target because:
- It is random
- Spleen (mid-trapezius), liver (rhomboids), and bladder (paraspinals) all speak there ✓
- It is the only muscle
Ask permission for that region.
The Class 1 lab opens with:
- A favorite color, a mantra, and a crystal grid
- Name, permission to talk, alone in the auric field, and stated age — then the class asks ✓
- A milligram list you write before the first yes
Every later ask belongs on that permission. Occupancy before the trace.
A yield on permission is:
- A suggestion to press harder
- A stop ✓
- A dose you write
You do not run a meridian through a no.
“Are you all alone in your auric field?” — a yield means:
- Talk louder so the field can hear
- There is company — a cord or a split — and you do not invent chemistry yet ✓
- The person has failed the course
Company in the field is not a channel problem. Check cords and splits first.
Show / hold a name in this lab means:
- Write a milligram and a brand
- Hold the name as a question — literacy, not a dose you invent ✓
- Skip permission because the PDF listed an ingredient
Kapel's list is asked. This academy does not invent dosing language.
If a step says stop, you:
- Skip it so the lab looks complete
- Stop. The field still holds after the last yes ✓
- Press harder until you find a problem
On yourself first. Strong holds; yield gives.
