A Self-Help Series of Postures for Special Conditions

The hard palate is shown in figure 12. It is a vital area for stimulation. Either thumb fits perfectly here. The thumb from the same side has a soothing effect, while the opposite thumb has a stimulating reaction due to crossing over of the currents.

The body is in the same position as shown in figure 5, but now the contact is in the mouth. The cushion of the thumb is pressed upward on the hard palate on any sore spot found there, for many central reflexes in the head and in the body. The front of the palate reacts to the front of the body, the back portion to the back, and the center to the middle of the body, and each side reacts to that particular side. This makes it easy to localize reflexes. Being right under the brain, it is a positive pole with powerful reflex actions in its areas.

Most sensitive and responsive contacts are in the posterior portion of the hard palate. The stomach can be reached very quickly through this sensitive reflex area; also other abdominal organs will growl and show their response by the moving of gases. Energy currents which do not travel the usual path of nerve conduction are put to work in this way. Sympathetic reflexes are involved here, plus the wireless currents of energy flow which built the tracts and pipes of conduction in the first place by the soul's pattern in the embryonic state of the body. By gentle testing and pressing on these areas, reflexes will be discovered which reach every part of the body, benefiting eyes, ears, sinus areas, head congestion, etc.

This posture lends effectiveness to the contacts by using physical forces liberated in the body, through energy currents released and directed by the polarity of the hands and fingers through positive pole reflex areas in the head. Working with these reflexes and energies - research and discovery in application - makes one forget the posture taken.
