Tibetan Pulsing Healing

by Anand Arupo

This form of Tibetan healing used today is a translation of the ancient ritual practices of the Tibetan monasteries into technological understanding for the Western mind. It involves a process of transformation for each individual allowing a jump from the mind to the heart; from the mind-state of living in dualities, in negative perceptions based on past experiences where emotions of fear, anger and hatred settle in the body to the innocence of the heart, to living in the moment, to a unifying with other hearts and thereby experiencing the positive feelings of bliss, joy and love.

Our life-energy, or bio-electrical energy, is the strongest tool we have to free ourselves from pain, emotional suffering and psychological problems. All these personal difficulties manifest in our nervous system as bio-electrical blockages. Fear exists in the human nervous system in the form of negative electrical charges which are connected through the nerves to our memories of painful impressions. These pictures from our past form our perception of our present. We may associate what we are seeing with our bad memories. This is called "ego". It is an electrical defense system for protecting us from acute shocks by inducing a milder shock we call fear. The mechanism is like a long-barrelled electron gun reaching from the bullet of the negative charge in the nerves to the target of your bad memories. Here it explodes into a tension when a similar impression from the outside pulls the trigger. This describes the visual experience of fear. All our senses contribute to fear. Each contributes through specific nerves capable of delivering an electrical shock to the brain.

Up to now most religions and other therapeutic systems have tried to deal with this mental problem from the outside in; by working on the impression of the fear. Tibetan Pulsing Healing takes the opposite approach of working from the inside out. Using the internal power of the heart’s pulsebeat as a motor force, bio-electrical energy currents are created by specific sound frequencies coupled with subtle movements. These stimulating currents are then directed by a pulsing touch through the affected nerves. The negative electrical charge blocking these nerves is neutralized by the in-coming positive flow. The release of static tension in the nerves produces a deep, euphoric relaxation which allows the continuing pulses of positive bio-electrical current flow to penetrate deeper into the static layers of pain. In the mind the pictures of these past experiences pass like an old movie, but this time without the charge of hatred or sadness or fear. Left after the discharge of these tensions, we find a new understanding, a new detachment, a sense of freedom from our past.
