PALMS 1                                                   PALMS1.TXT
        **********************************************************************
        The active partner should place his/her palms, facing downward, over 
        or on the solar plexus of the other, allowing the vital, fiery energy
        to flow into the palms. Once the palms have been "charged" in this
        manner, the active partner should move them in a series of sweeping
        gestures, making *sure* to extend the fingertips, over the previously
        identified sites of tension or blockage. I understand that Reiki and
        Jin Shin Jyutsu use similar techniques to restore energy flow; but 
        have no personal experience with these methods.                                  The sweeping, extended, palm-downward gesture is called a *mystic
        pass* and has been used by hypnotists and psychic healers, as well as
        Yogis and Yoginis. It is *extremely* effective in channelling energy;
        keeping in mind that both partners must focus on the transmission and
        reception of the energy consciously and unwaveringly. The entire
        psycho-organism can be recharged in this Way; including organs, 
        tissues, bones, fascia, glands, emotions, and mental function.  

        The active partner should recite a protective/focusing mantra:  
        first aloud, then softly, under the breath, and finally mentally;
        such as AUM BHUR BHUWAH SWA--invoking the "three realms:" the physical 
        world, the next world, and Eternity.
