There is a tendency, sometimes, to look down upon certain practices and cultures as primitive, but that is exactly their strength. A great example would be the Bushmen Shamanism.
We speak of Yogic Asanas (postures) which regulate and initiate energy flows/circuits in the body for balance, health, and spiritual awakening. However, the Yogic Asanas were a product of reverse engineering. When Yogis were in a high state of consciousness and were channeling the universal life energy (it’s awakened form that we know as Kundalini), their bodies would assume certain positions. The students of these Yogis observed these positions, noted them down, and copied them to trigger/simulate associated states of energy/consciousness.
There are certain forms of Qigong called Spontaneous Qigong (both revered and feared) where the innate intelligence of the body (or in some cases, Daoist deities like Pangu that are channeled) moves the body and hence the energy to attain balance and resonate with the optimal frequency.
The spontaneous shaking practices of the Bushmen date back to pre-historic times and are older than both the Yogic and Daoist cultures. These are “pure” practices as they are nearly free from conditioning that slowly increases with time and what we call “civilization”. These bushmen channel primordial forces that are one with nature which bring us close to the Source.
I first experienced spontaneous movements when I received Shaktipat initiation from my teacher around the age of 12. The movements were forceful but also graceful, there was a method to the madness. In my 20s, when I dove deep into Neigong, I learned a few forms of Spontaneous Qigong which were very effective and fast-acting.
Finally, I ran into a gentleman in Dallas airport one night, and he had extensively worked with Bushmen shamans and channeled their healing energy. He sought me out in the busy airport, touched my forehead and I was shaking with orgasmic bliss then and there. It brought back ancient memories of times long forgotten. It felt like restoring the original blueprint that had become diluted due to conditioning with the passage of time.
When I narrated these experiences to Captain, he dove deep into it, entered that state of consciousness, applied his genius to make this amazing experience available to all, and this field was born! One note - both OM and I found it to be very energizing, so watch out in case you use it close to bedtime and it keeps you awake, but YMMV.
At this point, it is going to sound repetitive, but let me say it anyway - Captain, words fall short to thank you for everything you do…
