| As
we age there is a tendency for the body systems to decline in function.
One of the places where decline is most noticeable is in our short term
memory.
Memory loss is not only a brain phenomenon; sometimes there is an unconscious
decision to forget traumatic events from our infancy or situations which
in general are not welcome at the forefront of our consciousness.
It is often assumed that memory loss is a problem of the aged, but recent
studies indicate that the symptoms of memory loss begin as early as
thirty years before they are undeniably evident. Memory loss may begin
as early as when the person is in the early 30’s.
In the ancient Chinese medical system all functions associated with
memory are under the administration of the kidneys and most specifically
the marrow within the spine and the brain. Ultimately the kidneys are
under the direction of the heart-mind.
In this class we are going to focus on strengthening the spinal and
brain marrow with a series of exercises utilizing movement, breath,
mantra, hand gestures, diet and emotional work clearing obstacles in
the ancestral line which are affecting the blood and reducing the potential
of the heart-mind.
The class includes the techniques for empowering the skeletal marrow
which functions as an antenna connecting us with the heavenly and earth
energies, and is, in effect, a counterpart of the central channel of
the individual consciousness. First we strengthen the individual consciousness
to make it capable of persevering in bringing positive change, and then
focus on the empowerment of the spinal and brain marrow as well as the
emotional and ancestral factors which are at the root of memory loss
and subconsciously wanting to forget.
The outcome of strengthening the marrow has the potential of not only
improve memory, but is also the foundation for fulfilling our highest
goals in this life since the ability to persevere is administered by
the kidneys.
