“Those readers who have worked with the Greater Mysteries degrees of the Dolmen Arch will recognize some similarities between this material and the work they have learned. The two methods of healing are not identical but they're closely related and can be combined. Experimentation will show how to do this.”
I have avoided asking any questions about this combination due to this comment, but I have reached a point where I feel like I do need to get some input on the results of experimentation to determine how to best proceed with the MOE training. I interpreted “they’re not identical but can be combined” to mean that I could learn to do both as entirely separate practices and then later consider layering them in a healing session. As such, I’ve been mostly keeping MOE practice to early in the day and DA practice to late in the day.
For most of my time with the MOE material, I haven’t felt anything moving between the hands during the healing hands empowerment or when using the healing hands. In contrast, I do feel the energy moving when using the Dolmen Arch techniques quite strongly. I also feel the Healing Jewels heat up during empowerment, clearly feel the palm centers active throughout the day, and feel like empowering the palm centers in the morning increases my ability to sense and work with nwyfre in general and in particular makes work with the Dolmen Arch healing circuit even stronger. Judging by results, it also seems that in spite of not feeling it, I have successfully used the MOE healing technique to good effect.
The issue is that I’ve regularly gotten to the point where I feel like I can start to feel energy moving during the MOE healing technique, but it doesn’t feel like it’s exclusively coming out of the right palm and entering the left palm, rather like it’s coming out of both and kind of “wants” me to open the above and below connections of the DA technique. Basically, when I start to feel it, it feels like the DA technique, and I’ve kind of pushed this feeling to the side, assuming I’m making a mistake of not keeping the techniques separate, and tried to force it to feel like it’s only moving in the one way “circle” described in the MOE papers, at which point I feel nothing.
For one recent MOE healing, I decided to take a cue from what I understand to be John Gilbert’s approach, and totally relax and not “try” to feel it moving at all and simply ask the Divine to guide the flow. The above and below connections of the DA circuit immediately opened up, and the feeling during the healing work was quite notable. Further, I feel like the “foot centers” connecting to the Telluric Current opened even more strongly than they have before, to the point where they parallel the way the palm centers are empowered, connecting me even more strongly to the above and below DA version of the circuit. (This was after the Healer attunement, so I don’t know if there’s any kind of foot center awakening expected with that.)
So I’m starting to feel like I should just abandon the notion that “can be combined” means “kept isolated except at specific times when they’re overlaid” and simply let the techniques fully merge in my practice.
But I’ve wondered if perhaps I’m subconsciously retreating to the “familiar ground” of the DA technique that I already know, and if instead I should push through it and keep them isolated in order to properly learn the MOE technique.
