The Five Stages of Self-Healing: Standing

June 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Stage 4:  Standing.  Monkey-like.

In the practice of the Five Stages of Self-Healing, what we call standing is actually squatting.  For the first time your spine is vertical.  The soles of your feet connect your body to the Earth. Your spine lengthens up.  Your hands are free.

The front body is revealed.  The chakras are vertical, bringing a new alignment in relationship with the vertical axis between the heaven and the Earth.  You’re more rooted and have more potential to rise up.

This stage is all about flexibilty.  Standing shifts sight and the perception of all the senses.  You can see more of  the three-dimensional world and your arms are free to reach in to the world.  Standing.
