Neurovasculars of love

Hello! So glad to be able to share thoughts and experiences with EM here on this wonderful project. I wanted to give some background to the way that I work with healing (especially within the EM context).

I came to work with health through the paths of Reiki and Body work. Always having been able to see energy, it was very natural for me to see how and where a client/friend/loved one could be helped by connecting certain systems to other systems. I could see that by holding ‘this’ point with ‘this’ point made a huge difference to the amount of energy in their overall system, but what I lacked so greatly was the language through which to explain to the individual what I had done, what had happened with their energy and how they could continue to support such transformation in their daily lives. Enter Eden Energy Medicine. More than anything else, the gift of the language of energy was the gift that working with Donna’s understandings and the Certification Program gave to me.... truly being able to explain what had been effective and why.

Today I want to concentrate on an area of EM that is very dear to my heart; that of neurovascular points. I LOVE neurovasculars (NVs). The power of those dime sized areas is immense and there are very few sessions that I give that don’t include working with NVs in some way. They are mostly concentrated around the head, although there are the NVs that relate to the Triple Warmer meridian and Gallbladder meridian in the notch at the base of the throat, and also the Gallbladder meridian NVs behind the knees. NVs work on the regulation and flow of blood, in the body, with each meridian having a NV that relates to it. By gently holding the NV it is possible to bring balance and energy into the merdian system.

Children and women are my biggest client base. I find that NVs can be wonderful at balancing hormones and also are great with children. Many kids can get quite antsy while having acupressure points held, or feel restless while using any longer EEM protocols ...even with using all my techniques as a storyteller while they are lying there, it can be challenging. But place my hands over NVs while working with children, even if they are simply sitting and we are talking about how they are, and immediately the whole energy system starts to regroup, to begin to act cohesively again, to return to health. And all within the warm comfort of relaxation. That is what NVs are to me... they act like a much loved blankie, a hug, a soak in a tub, a favourite teddy bear, or favourite food. In short, I see the NVs as being related to the Radiant Circuits, starting to spin comfort and warmth around the body allowing for relaxation, health and vitality to find its natural balance once more.

I once heard Donna (Eden) talking of an accident that she witnessed. A woman was trapped under a bus and was severely injured. With all of the amazing EM arsenal in her toolkit, Donna simply sat there and held the main NV points on the woman’s forehead until the bus could be lifted and the woman taken to hospital. She believed that working with those main NV points kept this badly injured and traumatised woman alive. And I totally get it. The NVs are about so much more than blood. They are about transformation through relaxation, rejuvenation through whole-system nourishment. NVs aren’t the bread and butter of our energy body, they are the most delicious, nurturing, cell-delighting meal you could ever create.

So I want to share with you one way that I work with NVs that works deeply with the Control Cycle in the 5 Rhythm Model. I frequently use this way of working with NVs on myself when I get into bed at night, and I also teach it to clients so that they can do it on themselves. It works to bring balance to the whole system, is gentle, easy to do and both deeply nourishing and relaxing.

1. Hold the Kidney NV at the back of the head to represent Water with the TW NV at the turn of the head to represent the Fire Element. Hold at least until you feel the pulses come into their own gentle rhythm. (Water controls Fire)

2. Keep your hand on the Fire NV and move your hand to the crown of the head (Heart NV) to represent the Metal element. Hold together. (Fire controls Metal)

3. Keep your hand on the Fire NV and place other hand at the base of the throat, covering the GB, to hold a Wood NV. Note, we do not learn NV as a Wood NV in the CP for we use the GB NV near the temple, but in my experience this works excellently as a Wood NV and can be held while still holding the control of Metal. (Metal controls Wood)

4. To hold the NVs for Wood and Earth, lie hands flat on each side of the face, covering the Stomach (Earth) NV on the jawline and the Gallbladder (Wood) NV on the temple. This has the added advantage of also covering the Kidney NV in front of the ear. Hold the Wood and Earth NVs until you feel them come into their own balanced rhythm. (Wood controls Earth)

5. Sometimes I finish at that point (especially if I am doing it in bed before sleep as by this time I am quite deeply asleep!), but often I finish with laying the flat of my hands over my kidney (Water) NV in front of the ears and the Spleen (Earth) NV above the ear, completing the Control cycle by finishing on the same element as we began (Water). (Earth controls Water)

As ever with any of these ways of working, it takes a lot longer to write it down and looks much more complicated than it is!!! I welcome you to experiment with this technique that serves me so well and brings such great results.

Thanks for reading. With love, prune

Amazing post! Is there any way you can add an image of the Neurovasculars?

[Andie 97]

I can't wait to try this. I love doing Neurovascular work. Thank you so much for sharing.

[Rose Mattax]

I love the creative integration of control cycle and nv work. Have you tried it with the flow cycle too? I'm going to try this out soon.

[Rose Mattax]

althought I wanted to ask, in step three do you hold the Fire point or the crown of the head with the throat?

Thanks for the kind comments. I am not able to add an image of the NVs as I am currently travelling and won't be back to my charts until the beginning of July ( I don't have a digital copy). I believe that Donna Eden's book Energy Medicine does have an image of the NVs (please correct me if I am wrong anyone!). I have used the flow cycle also while working with NV's and find that the control cycle is especially effective, although of course it depends I am trying to correct within the body. And Rose, to answer your question ...you hold the crown of the head (metal) with the throat (wood).
