Essentially, treating someone for PTSD, intense recent grief, or severe insomnia is a treatment that will share core qualities.  May this be very helpful to all who encounter it.

The first principle in each case is to calm the Spirit.  Right now, the New Moon is your best tool for gentle yet profound treatment of a Shen or Spirit disorder. This is because: The heart houses the Mind, the Heart stores the Spirit. 

Be sure to let them listen to Ohm. It is so important to call them back to themselves. After grounding with Ohm at the feet:

Sweep at the throat with the New Moon 5th. Use the New Moon also at the 3rd eye, and you can also use it at the Crown. Keep paying attention to how your client is responding. If it feels appropriate, you may feel it is the right thing to follow with Full Moon for any of these points. You may want to use your bowl and Solar forks after opening and clearing the heart and the 3rd eye and crown.

Next, Open the 4 Gates with Zodiac 3rd: Liver 3 and LI 4.
You can follow with a layer of Chiron if that feels right.
(If your client has started out quite agitated or angry or upset, you may use the 4 Gates after grounding and then proceed to calming the Spirit. This may already feel like a very powerful treatment to some people. 

Want more?
Add Spleen 6 with New Moon and followed by Full Moon. This will stabilize the Earth element, which is enormously important to feel safe. It is also excellent for treatment of anxiety and insomnia. Add Kidney 3 Great Ravine with New Moon, then Full Moon. Feel free to add a layer of Chiron here. Remember that Chinese Medicine includes the adrenals in with the Kidney system. Anyone suffering from acute or longtime PTSD or chronic insomnia has some level of marked Kidney deficiency.

Now for some Eight Extraordinary channels:
If your client primarily has issues with anxiety and /or panic attacks, choose the Yin Wei channel (P6 and Spleen4) and pair it with Ren or Chong.

If PTSD is the primary concern, the Chong channel treats the muscle memory, especially traumatic memory. Use New Moon, then Chiron, then Zodiac to release those memories from the body, the mind and the Spirit.
If Insomnia is the chief complaint, choose the Yin Qiao Mai (Kid 6 and Lung 7) and the Ren or Chong. Use New Moon and follow with Chiron and /or Full Moon for Yin Qiao channel.

You do not have to add two of the eight extra. If it feels like they need it, add them.

Using the bowl at the feet is very soothing, as is using it on the belly. Sometimes I give the client the mallet and they use it on the bowl on their belly for themselves.
If you have a bell, it is a very special tool for all of the three concerns. The bells are profound over the heart, as well as gently around the throat (not too close). It calls the Spirit back to the Heart, which is commonly needed in all three cases.
Please note:
I have not recommended Earth Day or Solar for any of these concerns. In most cases, the first treatment will not involve tonification in that direct fashion. There are many exceptions, but this is a guide.

Always end with Ohm at the feet. Kidney 1, to help them leave feeling grounded.

Protocol for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - Advanced

This protocol works by releasing the client from the repetition of victim / wounding by shining light and bringing consciousness into the time / space lockdown that they are trapped in. This liberates the Chiron wound that causes suffering, waking them from the endless dream.

2. Heart Chakra: Mid Nibiru / Low Uranus 
3. Third Crown (about 2 ft above crown):  Low New Moon / Mid Neptune 
4. Above Knees:  HF Solar 1 / HF Pluto 
5. Third Crown:  Mid Full Moon / Mid Solar Fork
6. Heart Chakra:  Low Saturn / Mid Full Moon 
7. Earth Chakra:  Mid Zodiac / Mid Earthday 
8. Above ST. 25 (Celestial Pivot):  Mid Neptune / Mid Solar Fork 
9. Earth Chakra:  Mid Full Moon / Mid Chiron 
10. Axis Stretch:  Low Saturn (pointing to feet) / Mid New Moon (pointing above crown)

​Our forum teaches how to treat a cold, flu and allergies. But here is a way to avoid experiencing them in the first place. This is what I do for my clients on a regular basis, adding individual points and intervals as needed.

In Level I, we teach a basic (yet extremely effective) Acutonics tune-up protocol for the Earth Moon Professional Set. This protocol contains Chiron as well as Mars and Venus for those who have those forks. No problem to omit them - you will still get very good results. This is wonderful for Self-Care as well as for your clients, friends and family. (All fork combinations are used 3 times.)

Start with Ohm Unison, really listening for a good deep Ohm refresh.
Do this 3 times, then bring the 2 Ohms to Kidney 1, Gushing Spring, at the soles of your feet.
If you have the Low Ohm, (or 2 of them), repeat with Low Ohm.
Now you or your client are on the way to feeling peaceful and grounded.
 
A tremendous amount of research has shown that breathing deeply, even for short periods, lowers blood pressure. It also Calms the Spirit in Chinese Medicine. This is a powerful first step in strengthening the immune system.

Use New Moon/Ohm in a sweep around the throat, off the body, opening the Windows of the Sky points.
Next, use New Moon/Ohm at REN 22, Celestial Chimney, located at the sternal notch.
This opens the Throat Chakra, as well as opening the lymphatic region of the throat.

Next, to clear any stagnation or stuck energy that prevents free flow of Qi:
Use Zodiac/Ohm on the 4 Gates: Large Intestine 4, Union Valley and Liver 3, Great Surge.

Feel yourself feeling less constricted, more in the flow of your life. Follow with New Moon /Ohm on these points if you wish for cooling and more clearing. If you have Chiron, add a layer of Chiron/Ohm to the 4 Gates if you are chronically overworked or struggling with depression, frustration, anger, or overwhelm: each of these can lead to an impaired immune system. Chiron addresses the wounding aspect of chronic problems.

Next , let’s strengthen your Qi  and resilience:
Use Earthday/Ohm on Kidney 3, Great Ravine (inner ankle).
If you have Mars/Venus, this is a perfect spot for them: strengthening Yin and Yang of the Kidney and the whole body.
Follow with Stomach 36, Leg 3 Miles: this is a premier immune point.
If you have digestive issues, you can use Chiron/Ohm or New Moon /Ohm first. Otherwise use Earthday/Ohm.
You can use Mars/Venus here as well.

Come back up to the sternum, where the Thymus gland is located. The Thymus is said to be the “University of the Immune System”, so use Earthday/Ohm to give it a boost. If you are chronically challenged by allergies and colds, use Chiron/Ohm here first.

Is the mind busy? Add New Moon/Ohm to the 3rd Eye 👁
To finish, listen to Ohm again.
Sweep the Ohm Unison down to the soles of your feet, Kidney 1, to bring your energy down to the Earth, to feel your connection to the things that are truly abiding. Take a few deep breaths in Peace.

You can do this every day if you wish. There are many, many ways to customize this for yourself and your clients.

Come in for a session and I will be happy to give you a personalized preventive protocol as well as a treatment.

This protocol is very fast - it can be done in about three minutes using the Earth/Moon professional set of Acutonics tuning forks!

Are you feeling triggered? Have a few minutes? Got forks?

This is a fast way to Pacify the Heart and Calm the Spirit, or in Western terms:  Calm the brain and nervous system and reconnect to the Heart Wisdom, lower cortisol, and find your breath. Remember, you are connected to the Divine.

This is also a very good way to clear the mind and create enough spaciousness to meditate when your mind is spinning. You KNOW that meditation is good for you; you hear it and read it all the time. But how to do it when you feel so triggered? Try this out!
