Self-Mind Clearing Technique

A light touch technique that balances the energy flow in the brain.

Purpose: To promote relaxation and peacefulness.

Uses: To focus or quiet the mind, reduce anxiety, clear stress-related headaches or induce sleep.

This technique may be done either sitting or lying down. All hand positions are to be done with light touch. Hold each for approximately 1 minute.

Self-Mind Clearing – rationale for hand positions

Hands over clavicles (collarbones): (Grounding & centering can be done in this position.) To open and clear the thyroid, parathyroid & thymus glands. To relax the muscles of the anterior neck and chest.

Brow and neck: To clear congestion front-to-back down the mid-line of the brain, between the 2 hemispheres. To encourage free flow of spinal fluid around the brain & spinal cord. (I think this is the most calming & de-stressing of all the hand positions, and recommend using it if you only have a few minutes.)

Thumbs under base of skull: To clear and balance the brain stem & cerebellum. To relax the muscles of your neck, shoulders & upper back (trapezoids). It is OK to use a little traction here.

Index and middle finger on crown: To normalize blood pressure and heart rate, & send healing light down through your body.

Fingers above both ears: To connect and balance the 2 sides (hemispheres) of the brain. (According to Rudy Noel, this is the most important hand position.)

Palms over eyes, fingers on forehead: To relax the eye muscles, clear negative thoughts about the past or future, and decrease tension. (Rubbing the hands together to warm them before doing this hand position makes it more effective for natural vision healing.)

Hands along the hairline: To open and connect the frontal lobes (home of personality, and where over-thinking & worry happen.) To open the 3rd eye (brow chakra) to wisdom & intuition. To sweep away any remaining worry or negativity.

Rubbing the TMJ’s (jaw joints): To open, clear and relax the jaws, and reduce soreness and muscle pain in the jaw muscles.

Brush down face: For releasing any remaining tension or energy congestion in the face, and to promote relaxation. (Do this 3 or more times.)

Holding Cheeks: For nurturing and giving yourself unconditional love. You ARE fully worthy of this love.

Final hands on collarbones: To thank yourself for the self-care, feel gratitude for the healing you received, & then to ground yourself.

The same basic rationale applies to the hand positions for the Mind Clearing technique for use on others.
