| To Review: Charge by rolling until you feel a slight stickiness, then draw you breath in, create an image of the crystal in your mind, and pulse the breath with the eyes closed." Vogel has worked extensively with crystals as healing devices. He believes that they are particularly useful in releasing harmful fields of energy that surround the body which in turn facilitate healing a wide assortment of illnesses. Vogel's concept of "Transformational Medicine" began taking shape in 1980 when Dr. Tang, a San Francisco physician, asked him to give a talk to some medical doctors. Says Vogel, "There were about 20 doctors. They brought in every type of patient you can imagine, suffering from everything from cancer to Parkinson's disease. A person who was left blind left the room seeing. A man with very high blood pressure had his blood pressure drop to normal within minutes." Many of the doctors were so impressed that they continue to work with Vogel six years later. "The primary point of entry in working with these crystals," says Vogel, "is the thymus gland which controls the immunological activity of the body. To identify the thymus gland you go from across the shoulders and down about the width of a hand from the chest. It's just below the top of the shoulder blades. To activate the thymus gland, you thump. You do this a number of times until you hear a hollow sound. Approach the thymus gland with a charged crystal moving in a counterclockwise rotation. Stop about one-and-a-half to two inches away and rotate slowly in a clockwise direction until you feel a resistance." Of his healing technique Vogel says, "I want to find the correct spacing between the physical body and the subtle, or etheric body. I want to be in the etheric body, not into the etheric double, which is about a half inch off but into the pure energy body. Now I scan in an up and down, and transverse direction until I find that point of resistance which defines the subtle body, and especially the energy emanating from the thymus gland. I hold the crystal steady and rotate my free hand until I can come to the maximum point of resistance. When I do that, I feel a pulsing vibration in the left hand. When a charge flow takes place, the crystal pulsates in exact rhythm to what I experience in my left hand." This may take a few seconds or it may take minutes, but Vogel says patience is required in holding the crystal steady, and waiting for the person being worked on, to acknowledge that they feel an energy flow going into their body. "There is no control of my breath or theirs. It is purely a matter of establishing an energetic link between myself, and the body of the person and my other hand. Once that energy starts to flow then I start breathing. "When I go into the body of a person, and link, I take one breath, and slowly release the breath until I come to the half breath, and then I hold my breath. If the person cannot make a linkage within that breath, I then relax, let my breath out, breathe through the nostril, and try again. It's in the holding of breath that this charge builds up and links to the person. When I feel a charge motion, which the other person acknowledges, I then synchronize my breath with the person's breath. | |
