In its broadest sense, qi can be thought of as the vibratory nature of reality: how at the atomic level, all of manifest existence is energy – an intelligent, luminous “emptiness” appearing as this form and then that, like waves rising from and then dissolving back into the ocean. Our perception of solidity – of forms as fixed and lasting “things” – is just that: a perception, based upon habitual ways of conceiving of ourselves and our world.

In 2012, while at school for Chinese Medicine, I started to pick up on patterns of energy ‘clearings’ that appeared to affect many people at the same time.

How I discovered the patterns:   I would start having physical trouble – a headache or pain somewhere in my body, for instance.  So I would figure out what acupuncture points to press or flower essence to hold (this puts the energetic signature of the flower essence in your energetic space and can cause changes in you without ingesting the essence) to get rid of the pain.  I then noticed members of my family (there are 5 of us) would start to have trouble with the same acupuncture channel or have the same symptom.  And doing what helped me get rid of the problem also solved their issue(s).

A few days later I would be in school and multiple people would mention similar problems to me.  I would ask them to try what helped me and voila! they would immediately get relief from the issue as well.  This happened enough times with different acupuncture channels or Chakras that I got the idea that there was something similar affecting multiple people in a definable pattern.

So I used my own ‘ways of knowing’, as we call it in Chinese medicine, to further discern what was potentially happening.  And here is what I found out:

What the patterns were:  I discovered quite an organized system of affected energetic systems.  I created an Excel sheet to hold all the data:

The chart illustrates the patterns I found.  For simplicity I have only shown the affected systems from Dec 2012 – April 2013.  I perceive that the overall patterns I was picking up on were part of clearings that began in September 2010 and ended January 15, 2014.  After January 15, 2014 a new set of clearings began but I have not taken the time to discern their patterns (for reasons given below in ‘For further study’).

The pattern details:  For the dates, these clearings followed a pattern more similar to the Mayan Calendar than our current calendar system.  So there were 5 day blocks of time that would be equivalent to a ‘week’.  There were 5 ‘weeks’ in a ‘month’.  The months are designated by the different colors in the date column.  There were 7 ‘months’ in a ‘year’ – whereupon the colored months repeated.  This whole block of clearing therefore went on for 7 ‘years’, ending January 15, 2014.  (I perceived there to be no clearings on the final ‘week’).

Two Chinese Organs (and the Shen) were affected in a repeating 13 week pattern as shown above in yellow.  The Emotions did not display a discernible repeating pattern in the time period that I observed them.  Other emotions that were cleared but not shown in the chart above were; Grief/Sadness/Depression, Despair/Optimism, Fear/Fright, Joy/Scattered, Happiness, Worry/Focus, Anger/Patience, and Love.  Clearly these ‘Emotions’ very closely follow those ascribed to Chinese medicine organs.  The Chakras were also cleared in a repeating pattern with one Chakra clearing per ‘week’.  There was a 19 week pattern that repeated. Note the ‘Special’ Chakra sub-category was whatever Chakra needed extra clearing at that time.  So ‘Special’ could stand for any Chakra 1 – 7 (Red – White).  The Body Fluid category consisted of Chinese medicine sub-categories; Blood, Jing, Meridians, Qi, and Essence.  Meridians cleared for 5 ‘weeks’, Qi cleared for 3 ‘weeks’, Essence cleared for 4 ‘weeks’, Blood cleared for 9 ‘weeks’, and Jing cleared for 5 ‘weeks’.  Then this Body Fluid category of clearings would repeat in it’s 26 ‘week’ block.  The final repeating pattern that I picked up on concerned the Chinese Phase Elements.  Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood repeated in a mixed block of 21 ‘weeks’ and then this mix would repeat.

Effects of the patterns:  From the perspective of the Earth itself being thought of as a living and breathing organism, then this Excel sheet is a log of the Earth’s cycles. I feel these patterns show what subtle energy the Earth was clearing and when.   This idea can be extended to show its impact on the human population in two ways.  1. Perhaps the Earth calls upon it’s inhabitants to help with the clearings.  So humans would feel extra stress in the energetic parts listed above.  This extra energy moving through a human’s subtle body might over stress it, causing new physical issues. Once the human cleared the issue/blockage the subtle body part would be more open and the extra energy could pass through easily and unnoticed.   2. If the Earth was clearing it’s subtle body parts listed in the chart and the energy went from the Earth’s core outward to space then those Earth energies would travel through the dirt, plants, and animals on its surface.  We, humans, would then be affected by this energy passing through us.  If we had a blockage or issue with that particular area then we would feel the pain from the extra energy trying to get through but getting restricted.  If we cleared our own blockage then we would stop feeling the pain.  If we refused to help our selves then we would continue to feel the pain or problem until the Earth clearing was over.  In either of these scenarios the result is the same – an opportunity to further clear our own subtle body parts.

Other ‘Evidence’ of patterns:  Sometime after I had established my Excel chart and began to share it with other people an instructor at my school unintentionally offered up support for my patterns. He shared with the class a website that used to monitor patterns in Chinese medicine organ systems!  The site was no longer kept up but he showed us some screen shots he had taken.  I looked up the date he showed on my chart and the organ system the website listed was one of the organs on my chart for that day!  The idea of the website was to let practitioners know which Chinese organ systems were being stressed on which days or weeks of the year.  Additionally many of our instructors would mention how they would see patterns in the type of illness that ‘walked in their door’.  That is to say, one week 5 new patients would show up – all with liver issues.  Some weeks later everyone seemed to be having small intestine issues, etc.  If you asked any aware healthcare provider if this phenomena happens to them I’m sure they would say yes.

What did I do with the information?:  Besides initially finding ways to help myself and those around me after the clearing was already underway – I started to be able to work ahead.  Once I had the chart and saw that the patterns I had predicted were happening ‘on-time’, I started to discern if there wasn’t something I could do ahead of time to prepare for the clearing.  To my relief there was.  I established and performed energy clearings ahead of time (I couldn’t work too far ahead, just a few weeks).  And then I intended for the clearings to be done on those around me as well.  If I ran into someone with the ‘issues of the week’ then I let them know about the clearing I figured out.

For further study:  Once I saw these 5 day week, 5 week month patterns that were going on for 7 years….I began to wonder about longer term patterns.  Were there 1 year patterns? 10 year patterns?  10, 000 year patterns? (we are talking about the 3.5 Billion year old Earth).  And, as you may expect, I found the answer to be yes.  So I intended clearings for all those times as well.  I won’t write all the clearings I found here but I will say, as with many other types of clearings…when I had found ‘enough’ clearings and performed the clearings ‘enough’ times…my intention of always clearing these additional patterns was solidified.  And I no longer had to clear these items daily or weekly, it was done automatically.

Energy Medicine is based on the understanding that any physical, mental or behavioral problem has a counterpart in the body’s energies and can be treated at that level.

Every conceivable health problem, psychological challenge or dysfunctional habit can be improved, if not overcome, by intelligently shifting the energies in the body that are maintaining that condition.

This extends from treating cancer or multiple sclerosis to losing weight to increasing your vitality to improving your performance at something that really matters to you.

And in the process, you become more consciously, intimately and joyfully involved in the deepest workings of your physical body, a journey that extends down to your soul.

The lives of traditional and modern healers, mystics, and shaman are  “. . . lessons in physical, emotional, and spiritual bereavement and disempowerment, followed by rebirth into a new relationship to power.  Behind closed doors, through anguish and ecstasy, mystics gain access to the spirit, access so profound that they become capable of breathing an energy, like Divine electricity, into ordinary words and acts.  They become able to heal others through acts of genuine love, forgiveness, and faith.”
