Elizabeth Corea, a friend and Eden Energy Medicine Certification Program graduate, and I recently did an exchange. We tried out the kinesiology approach from this youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI3MaInxMlM&feature=player_embedded . Thanks to Kelmie Blake Spires for posting it.
I have plenty of old injuries to work with! We didn't cover everything at this session because after about 1/2 a dozen I experienced a familiiar Triple Warmer meridian overwhelm reaction. That's my body's way of letting me know "enough change already!" In my case my mind is often more willing to just keep on going. My body will let me know that it's time to stop, often by shaking uncontrollably.
On this occasion Elizabeth and I were plannning to do an electric session. After some general body preparation moves to assure that the body is open, relaxed, and receptive, the practitioner holds one of the several highly electric points on the body. A favorite one is the power point in the indentation in the center of the back of the neck. This taps into the electrical energy system which the body will then use whereever it is most needed. An electric session is very good for healing scar tissue, and in this instance our intention was to address scar tissue from blood draws on the inside of my right elbow that is making getting blood for lab tests painful.
When Elizabeth initiated the electric session the first place my body directed the energy was to the hip. When I got up off the table the pain I'd felt earlier was about 85% resolved. I'm wondering if this would be useful immediately following any procedure, surgery, mammograms, x-rays, etc so the body doesn't have a chance to store the memory.
I recall a process first encountered in a CP Review class preceding the practicum which was called "Ancient Echoes." We hadn't done it during the CP classes, but some groups apparently did, so it was included in the review. It involved similar movement of the head, but without making the specific connection to old injuries. The testing of circulation/sex was used as in the video, demonstrating the connection between hip and neck flexibility. I think the principle is the same. However, the process posted on YouTube in specific directs the body to known areas of cell memory.
Elizabeth and I decided to follow up to see what the long term impact will be. We also each have more areas of cellular memory left to "play" with. Later that evening I found that I could do the corrections on my own simply by placing a hand on an area of prior injury, and initiating the head movements on my own. It's not nearly as much fun as doing this with a partner, and I couldn't test the range of motion in my hips. It still remains unclear how long lasting this correction is.
I also found it sobering that root canals, mammograms, and sprained ankles were chosen for this demonstration. I imagine that not only root canals, but all dental work would qualify as cell memory to treat, as it is so very invasive.
At the same time, a process like this reminds me of how very resilient bodies are. They withstand so many assaults and just keep on keeping on. It's nice to have more ways to support them in supporting us!

How wonderful to have an 85% reducing in severity of pain, in one go. Seems like doing the deep electrics work after shifting pain memories is a good way to stabilize the system and maybe help TW to find steadiness. I also wonder about inquiring into the seed cells to see if the Injury Recall technique might erase more of the holding patterns, by involving the seed cells when doing the head-drop motion... more for the EM Lab! I'd love to hear more about your experiences with releasing cellular memories, working with Elizabeth. I appreciate your sharings Judith, thanks!

Judith and Lyn, I am really delighted that you both shared about these processes. I was previously unfamiliar with them. I'm very interested in exploring the possibilities. I'm a big fan of clearing out old energy patterns that no longer serve.
I also like the idea of engaging the Seed Points (new name for what Donna used to call Seed Cells) while engaging clearing processes like this one or chakra work or EFT, etc.
EM Lab: I like that, Lyn. Feels like there's a possibility for us to actually gather for an EM Lab at some point... to explore deeply around a few themes to see what we can evolve together.

I'd love to see more information on the Ancient Echos process. I'd never heard of it, but I did see the IRT video that Kelmie shared (thank you!!!!). This was quite eye opening since I've had numerous sprained ankles.
I love the EM Lab concept. It's so great to experiment with combining techniques to see what will best serve the person we are working on.

Andie, the Ancient Echoes practice seems to be something that is part of Eden Energy Medicine Certification Program Clinical Practicum.

Hi Judith- We actually did learn part of this in our CP class, it was called Neck Drop. I don't think the leg part was demoed, I remember it sort of morphed into the Bruce Wand technique when it was taught...Ancient Echoes sounds WAy better than Neck Drop! : )

I believe you, of course, Kelmie, but have no recall. I do remember it being presented in the review class, and none of us claiming to be familiar with it. But it's not surprising. I've had the opposite experience as well, when I remember learning something that had particular significance for me, but others present at the class having no recollection. This aspect of mind and memory holds my fascination!

Ande, Lyn Milum's article describes the Ancient Memories process in much more detail, and it is similar though not the same as the Injury Recall Technique applied kinesiology process found on youtube by following the link.

Here's a direct link to Lyn's Ancient Echoes article: http://crescent.typepad.com/eem/2011/06/ancient-echoes-and-injury-recall-technique.html
I really relate to what you are sharing, Judith, about what people learn and how little that has to do with what any teacher may have been intending! I always set an intention that participants in my workshops, gatherings, etc. get what they need... not what I'm talking about or sharing! ;-)
I experience myself as someone who can help link people up with their authentic selves... and that connects them with what they need. Anything else I'm doing is just a conduit for that to happen.
