Workshop Two

Acknowledgement

The purpose of Acknowledgement is giving of yourself to your Self, an action of expanding beyond the present experience. In this is the process of knowing where the self is and how it got there. This places the self in an slice of time and space. By acknowledging the self you are remembering the "more" of who you are.

Breath

This breathing technique is useful for meditation or simply raising your vibrational frequency for increased clarity, and can be done anywhere that breathing is permitted!

Color

The color of the Second System is infrared; but, as people cannot directly perceive this color, use a bronze or tan color as substitute. These can represent Earth colors, lighter flesh tones, neutrality, and movement, as in shifting sands and flexibility with other colors.

Sound

The wholeness of all and the potential flow of energy between every part. This flow is a process of balancing. The Greater Self receives, processes, lets go and gives back by directing the flow into the openness of the Eternal Self. Neutrality allows inclusiveness.

Initiation

Because ONA is about you becoming conscious, we feel that no one can initiate you, but you. You do not need our permission to embark on this journey; you only need your own. Because you are making an agreement with your Innermost Self, it is appropriate to stage the agreement in the form of a ritual. (Ritual is a language that communicates more deeply with the Innermost Self, which is why people instinctively use it regarding matters of importance.)

Hands-On

Besides being able to direct this energy for your own personal use, it can be shared with others. One of the ways to share is to give another person a session. When working with others, the neutral viewpoint is very important. Being and keeping centered while allowing the greatest view possible will facilitate the most expansion for everyone. Before you start any session, do a complete session on yourself by using breath and sounds to center yourself. The greatest goal while working with others is to support them to know themselves better. Healing can only be done by the individual self. You and this energy are there to facilitate the remembrance of wholeness. There are guidelines to enable a balanced flow of energy and comfort to all.

Technique

There are levels of physical pain, as well as levels of awareness regarding injury and pain. These may range from a not-yet-painful erupting pimple, to a major wound. In each case, you need to recognize that any physical pain that the body experiences includes some level of unconsciousness. You heal much faster when you are more aware of what is occurring. You can learn to direct others to examine their energies and focus, so that conscious awareness and life essence returns to any painful or numb area.

Questionnaire

Please take a week or so to practice the techniques you learned in this workshop. Each workshop builds on the skills learned in the workshop previous. Then, take a few minutes to answer the following questions. This is not a test; it is intended to give you a baseline against which to measure your progress. The �right� answer is the honest one!
