Knees and Connections
Wednesday, 30 March 2011

Today has been a very good day. To the outsider looking in, it probably appears as though absolutely nothing is happening. But a LOT is happening here.

Two weeks ago Bill started to put my knee into this position and ask me to move it one way or other. I heaved and tried to move it any old how, and he stopped this. I needed to connect to the knee with just a thought - and not by moving hips or waist to get something to happen. At first this was a bit demoralising, as I felt I had been doing more before and I wondered how long I would have to do this no-action moving.

Last week, I was getting the thought and knees connected up, and if Bill balanced the knee - which would only stay in that position long enough for me to move my knee one way or other - then I could do it with ease and with only a thought.

Today I balanced each knee as you see in the video. While doing this, I was feeling all sorts of new twitches and sensations. Reflexes and channels that we have been working on have opened to allow this new progress, and reminded me of when I started to lock my knees while standing, all those years ago.

Describing feelings when you can't know what it's like to be paralysed is very difficult and I have tried as we were filming. Feeling new connections is massively exciting.

Clearly, once the leg starts to move, I cannot overcome it at this stage. But with a thought I can chose which way it moves and when. And there is enough going on up into the waist and torso and down into the calves and feet to maintain that balance.

This is a mental & energetic process, and the imprtant physical activities is acting as a marker for what is connecting up. Having taken me back to the thought and the internal, we are now building on this.
