|The human body is surrounded by an egg-shaped, electromagnetic field that vibrates with varying frequencies of light and energy. It extends a considerable distance from the body, but the most intense region can be perceived as a band of energy extending approximately two and a half feet from the skin. This field, which has been recognized since ancient times, has been referred to as the energy body, the human aura or auric field, or the "luminescent cocoon." Although it seldom appears to be visible to the untrained naked eye, it is as real as the light from the stars,|
|Just as the anatomy of your physical body can be deconstructed and categorized, so too can the energy body. In part, it consists of seven major chakras, which appear as spirals or vortices of light and energy that trace vertically through the spinal column. As they spiral outward they fill the energy body with their light. Each chakra is associated with specific glands and organ systems and each plays an important role in physical health, emotional balance, and spiritual vitality. In addition to the primary chakras, a network of sub-chakras radiates throughout the body at various locations.|
|The assemblage point is a powerful vortex of electromagnetic energy. In health, it flows horizontally through the fourth major chakra - the heart chakra. This is the ideal. The assemblage point's actual position is often splintered and displaced due to external influences that upset its desired centering and balance. Whether it is in alignment, and whether it is splintered or whole, both reflects and determines perception and such states as happiness and disease. A misalignment of the assemblage point|
|is both the cause and the effect of a range of energetic imbalances that reflect physical, emotional, and mental health, the energy levels of the major chakras, and the immune responses of the specific endocrine glands and organs with which they are associated.|
|If the assemblage point is a difficult concept, the following analogy sometimes helps. Consider that a thunderstorm is brewing, and the horizon in all directions is heavy with dark clouds and sheet lightning. The electricity in the clouds seems disorganized, chaotic, flashing everywhere but remaining in the clouds, its effects remaining localized. Then, suddenly, some of|
|that voltage organizes into a channel that streaks down to the ground while simultaneously traveling up, from the ground to the cosmos. The power of that lightning streak is great - it can be destructive, or, if properly positioned, it can charge the atmosphere with healing energy. It is the power of lightning that fixes the element nitrogen to raindrops, creating, quite literally, a rain of fertilizer onto the ground. In many ways the human assemblage point is like a constant bolt of lightning, a source of energy and life force, its current running both into and out from the energy body.|
The assemblage point is real. With training, the practitioner can see a client's assemblage point with the conscious physical eye, feel it with the hands, and measure it with scientific equipment. And, one can learn to feel it within the self. Most people who achieve this level of awareness express surprise that they had not felt it earlier.
It is inevitable that each of us, usually more than once in our lives, experience some sort of trauma - physical, emotional, or spiritual, through an accident, trauma, disease, drug or food addiction, depression, grief, pain, loss, and so forth. If, during the incident and in its aftermath, we can make ourselves aware, we notice that we have changed, often in a painful way that does not seem to abate with time. It may feel like a shift in perspective, or an inability to return to normal. It may feel like disorientation, or others may tell us that we've become moody. We may be quick to anger, or to cry. The range of change is immense, because at the root of it is a shift, a mis-alignment, of the assemblage point. This mis-alignment is both the result of the trauma, and the cause of the dysfunction that follows. The mis-alignment changes our reality as well as our physical, emotional, and mental health. By having the assemblage point re-aligned, or "shifted," by a trained practitioner, these changes can be "put right."
A deep shift of the assemblage point is a powerful energetic adjustment, moving a large percentage of the auric field. For the hard scientist, it is akin to what is taught in freshman physics: A large rock, teetering on the edge of a cliff, is said to possess high "potential energy" because of the distance between the rock and the earth below. Though the rock is heavy, it rests on a bed of scree that makes it vulnerable to any forces that might wish to shove it over the edge. Once shoved, down it goes, crashing to the soft earth below, lacerating the turf and perhaps splintering itself as it lands, releasing much of that potential energy as defined by the laws of physics. All of the material that comprised that rock is still present, but it may now be somewhat scattered, embedded, and perhaps wedged. Though the energy it took to displace that rock was significant, it is meager compared to the energy and skill it will take to free it and return it, with all its fractured fragments, back to the cliff top where it belongs, without further harming the earth, the rock itself, or the person carrying it.
The deep assemblage point shift is thought to be the most advanced energy healing known to man at this time. To shift it safely and effectively requires training and experience. The practitioner constantly monitors his or her own state of vitality and inner well-being and acts in self-less service to the client. He or she must impeccably locate the exact position of a misalignment, recognize whether or not there is fragmentation, and shift it safely to a healthier, more powerful position. Thus restored, the assemblage point's energies flow more freely, with greater life force and vitality.
Optimal results usually require that the client commit to a series of three to five assemblage point shifts over a period of one to two months. There are good reasons for this. Like the rock on the scree-bedded slope, the assemblage point is vulnerable to life's traumas that make it prone to release energy and displace. Depending on the depth and duration of displacement, it may not be feasible to move such a magnitude of energy all the way back to "home" in one shift. And, the newly re-aligned assemblage point may tend to lose alignment over time, though not usually to the degree of the original fall.
For optimal re-alignment, in terms of degrees and duration of the healing shift, the shifting process itself is both preceded and followed by purposeful dialogue to implement tools that empower the central focus of the assemblage point. The shift is initiated in the dialog that begins during a weekend gathering. This dialogue provides guidance and energetic awareness in the approach of the shift. It also optimizes the client's ability to keep the shift stabilized by providing direction for energetic follow-up as well as powerful tools that assist the client to habituate to the newly restored energetic signature. The result is a stronger shift, to help keep the rock from tumbling back over the edge. When the client commits to this energetic re-habituation, the re-aligned assemblage point is better able to remain centralized and effect a permanent result. It is analogous to holding the rock in place long enough for it to settle, and perhaps even for foliage to grow around it. Three to five shifts, augmented by that essential preparation and follow-through, often produce what can only be termed miraculous results.
In many cases the effect of a first assemblage point adjustment is immediate. That initial shift is, for the energy body, the start of a prolonged event. For two weeks to six months afterwards, the body's energy field is in flux, continuing to circulate but reordering itself and everything it affects. Second and third shifts strengthen and deepen this movement, returning core essence to the center of the chest and re-establishing balance. This process, this experience, may be initially subtle or profound, but it is inexorable and soon affects every facet of the human experience.
Sometimes disorientation is the first result, just as one may feel disoriented when awakening from a dream. But a greater sense of calm, peace, and harmony soon follow, along with renewed passion and vitality and enhanced powers of self healing. Joy, fulfillment, and purpose materialize in the midst of this integrative process. All of this is a consistently reported, and welcome, experience that leaves the re-aligned individual renewed but also restored to a state that feels both familiar and remote, as though becoming the original, untained, uninjured self from a time before memory.
Displacement of the Assemblage Point
The assemblage point is an energetic lens of perception. Its position literally determines our reality. Trauma, which can be present as pain, stress, illness, injury, loss, heartbreak, and so on, can cause the assemblage point to either drift or be forcefully knocked out of its balanced position in the heart. Where it comes to rest after it is displaced may or may not be arbitrary - we simply do not know whether a specific type of trauma results in a specific type of displacement. We do know, however, that where the assemblage point "lands" once it has been displaced does indeed have specific consequences. Bodily responses, certain physical and mental diagnoses, perceptions, reactions, and decisions can be linked reliably to specific locations of the displaced assemblage point.
|For instance, when one's assemblage point has displaced to a location below the collar-bone, significantly high and to the right of its rightful position at the energetic center of the heart, one tends to perceive life as a stressful situation. A high-right assemblage point position is therefore associated with such reactions as anxiety, panic, anger, rage, and even violence. The farther to the right the assemblage point is located the greater the degree of the reaction. Although everybody has experienced anxiety, anger, etc. at some point in his or her life, our reality tends not to change - if we are over-reacting, on some level we know it. But when the assemblage point is in the high-right location, there is a loss of self-monitoring and a blurring in one's reality. The high anxiety, rage, violence are perceived as real and inexorable.|
|The assemblage point displacements described above cause
energetic imbalance and over time the vortex sinks into the energy body. As it drops below the heart-line it gravitates to the low right area of the
energy body. Whenever the assemblage point settles low right, one will experience depressive states such as sadness, lackluster interest in life, sleep
disturbances, and clinical depression, which deepens as the assemblage point drops lower through the field. These depressive symptoms are easily resolved
with a series of assemblage point shifts.
|In time, low right assemblage point positions result in the onset of challenging and
often debilitating states of disease or dysfunction such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, many of the cancers, and a host
of depressive conditions that powerfully alter our reality.
While right side assemblage point positions are often associated with debilitating or degenerative physical events, Bipolar Disorder is associated with an assemblage point imbalance which is moving between the areas of high right and low right. The assemblage point sliding or popping up and down within the energy body causes alternating manic and depressed states.
|Assemblage point vortices that misplace to the high left of the
energy body most often exhibit some interruption in normal mental function, such as stroke, the onset of psychosis or mental breakdown, hallucinatory
events, fixation in cults, supremacy, racism, radicalism, rigid spiritualism, schizo-affective disorders, and schizophrenia. High left locations also
exhibit street or prescription drug dependency and early alcoholism.
As the assemblage point drifts from high left to low left positions, debilitating manifestations of earlier, highly charged mental states begin to descend to their darker side. Personality dissolution associated with long-term unresolved schizophrenia settles in, "happy" alcohol usage deteriorates into "mean" or "crying" alcohol usage, and reliance on drugs to reach some semblance of a normal feeling. Catatonia, coma, dementia, many neurological challenges, Alzheimer's Disease, and Parkinson's disorders exhibit at low left.
|Whenever the assemblage point displaces, there is a possibility that it will split or fragment. Sometimes splits of the assemblage point have a stabilizing effect, as the splitting polarities themselves may slow the assemblage point's tendency to descend, or drop, through the field. As the assemblage point crosses the level of the navel, death is imminent.|
|The Good News
The good news is that most of the challenges listed above can be assisted, lightened and often entirely eliminated through assemblage point adjustment. As mentioned, this possibility is best approached in a series of three to five shifts. The shifts, accompanied by an associated conversation designed to prepare for, and subsequently stabilize the assemblage point after it has been shifted to the centralized heart location, has proven the most beneficial approach.
Bi-polarism, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Hepatitis C, depression, chronic back problems, relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, expressed or internal rage, rigidly fixated social views, chronic pain, drug or alcohol dependency, eating disorders, poor mental outlook, or general malaise most often respond quickly and effectively to assemblage point adjustment. Deeper challenges such as deeply low right and low left positions require a greater amount of available free energy from the practitioner to effect a rise of the assemblage point. Nonetheless, when the practitioner is experienced and impeccable, the results of the rise from low positions are often very impressive. While we understand many things about these exciting results, many times they are a surprise and a mystery and are simply beyond our comprehension at this time.
The Best News
Early in life, the egoistic frame of consciousness commences its identification process, which masks us in unreality to bury our core selves. During that process, whatever information reaches us from the external world is either maintained to support and enhance the chosen identification, or the information is rejected and dynamically repressed in the individual unconscious. This information, trapped deep in the unconscious, in time, seeks to rise as an expression of our totality. When we are unable to reach the unconscious and experience or express what information lies there, the body is forced to offer this expression at a cellular level. The result, very often, is disease. It is important to understand the process - the repression and the need for expression - because it is important to both the disease and to the healing process. When we are able to turn up information from the depths of the unconscious, and bring the expression to the light, healing is often the result.
Since it is the ego framework itself that has subjugated our wholeness to the unconscious, the egoistic perspective will never co-operate with this process. When the assemblage point is centralized in the chest, it acts to light and waken the heart perspective. We are lent a literal second seat of perception, or container of consciousness, through which the trapped unconscious information begins to flow from our depths. This event restores self-healing, not merely for the physical body, but seemingly, and for lack of a better term, for what might be called the soul. It is amazing to witness. It works. While perhaps not the easiest development we are asked to approach in life, this process is more than worth the effort in every case, without exception.
As health and vitality reach restoration, one begins to realize the forgotten source of disruption that was formerly trapped in the unconscious where, as far as our consciousness is concerned, it simply did not exist. Memories appear, in dreams, visions, and flashes of insight, that enrich us both inwardly and in terms of our view of the external world. As the process continues and deepens, the assemblage point becomes stronger and more stable, and it initiates what is traditionally known as a heart expansion. It enlivens and activates the rim of the heart chakra, which causes an expansion that radiates holographically from our core.
As our seat of perception expands, the assemblage point finds greatly enhanced range of movement. Yes, it can move, when it is centralized and stable within the expanding heart. The assemblage point does not fixate unless it has moved from the core of the heart, and under that circumstance it fixates into problematic positions. Just as the assemblage point position determines reality when out of alignment, so too does it determine reality when it is moving within the expanding heart - the containment for consciousness. In that happy circumstance, we realize reality from many perspectives. We become bigger people with greater range, we live in the world of possibilities, we participate more fully in life and find ourselves joyfully engaged in whatever comes to the next moment of life, perceiving it as a magical adventure and exploration. Time seems to slow as we enter life fully, moment-to-moment. We re-enter "the flow."
As the process deepens and we learn to surrender to its possibility, recall rises from the depths of our unconscious. Therein we discover that which was most lost from us - our core individualized essence. We find our best gifts, our most beautiful pearls, the pearls of the soul. We remember our perfected self and begin to participate in its expression. We find our deepest passions as we touch the uncompromised, fully congruent self. We discover the possibility of full self-realization, full self-disclosure, and we find it in our own way and in our own time because no one - no one but us - knows the uncompromised self that lies within each of us, waiting our discovery. Long gone are the days of uncertainty, emptiness, and the feeling of something being missing. Health issues lie as distant shadows in the path of our restored Light. We find ourselves on the path with heart. The assemblage point has brought us home, to the heart.
