Chart No. 24
[See Book 3, Chart 24]
This illustrates a contact under either shoulder to relieve the respiratory reflexes of the stagnant gases.
The other hand is placed in front and on top of the shoulder. It steadies the movement while the fingers press on the top of the shoulder to elicit additional polarity reflexes.
This contact is held and the shoulder is alternately raised and lowered until the gases are released.
Contacts are made all around the shoulder blade. The higher the contact the better, only it is more difficult to get under the blade higher up when there is much congestion. It is then necessary to work at it gently until it is possible to get the fingers under the shoulder blade.
The lifting is done by the operator's knee which supports the hand under the shoulder. The operator's toe is kept on the chair while the heel is raised, which raises the leg. This makes the lifting easier for the doctor.
Go from one side to the other and work where the greatest relief is obtained. One or two minutes usually suffice for each area. It can be gone over again and again, as often as necessary, after working on the other areas. Gases must be gathered and released from the local areas before they can be belched up or expelled naturally. It takes much effort and patience on the doctor's part. Gases are unreasonable and contrary like goats.
Most bad headaches, especially hemicrania, are usually due to gas pressing in the head and on the skull, and may be relieved with these gas releasing contacts.
