CHAPTER SIX: AMANAE, for the Child's Sake Amanae is a trip through the spiritual spin cycle. Those who choose Amanae are accelerating both their personal and spiritual evolution with a powerful multi-faceted therapy that has a spiritual twist. Approach this only if you are dedicated to powerful cleansing and the filling of light. If you have connected with your inner child, then you know the importance of clearing up issues on that subject.

When we are physically or mentally hurt we feel a threat to our very life! Do you remember a pain or hurt that caused you to contract your muscles and pull away from the threat to protect yourself? When this happens repeatedly we "chronically" contract with a reaction that locks into our cells and tissues in a process called "Armoring". Your fear from that threat can unfold as anger. If we are not allowed to, or can't release this anger, it's bottled up within us, then nature turns it against us. There are a handful of powerful modalities that can reverse this by energetically releasing this mass storage of traumas and fears. Armoring can be released and the result is that you become more of your true self, the self you were meant to be before others who raised you twisted your emotions permanently. A most powerful way is to take an Amanae workshop from two to five days.

Traumas from childhood are stored in the tissues of the body as well as the mind, even perceived ones that are no real threat or can cause no harm. As children we may feel that our parent or mentors do not love us or are not concerned with our well being caused from incidents that had little to do with love. Pain and suffering caused by injuries and physical damage are also locked into the cells. Your body is like a file cabinet or a computer hard disk drive that stores and archives your life's miseries. We carry this throughout our lives like dents and scratches on a car's body as it ages. Would you like to cleanse and purify those stored cellular memories in a relatively short period of time? Do you have the desire to advance spiritually by breaking the Ebeneezer Scrooge- like chains that hold your spirit to this earth? Are you willing to sacrifice a little to become "Lighter" in your spiritual evolution and shake off burdens of the past? If you are willing to go beyond the typical slower healing techniques to break the barriers , then Amanae is worth considering.

Amanae is like taking your soul out to be laundered, cleansing it, beaten on the rocks by the stream, run it through the rollers, shaken –not stirred, then hung out in the sun light to dry. When you have pumped out the negative programming forced on you by those who raised you. Then Amanae energy can take it's place. This process of emptying and filling with spiritual light is done repeatedly during a session or workshop by stripping the armor and cleansing your soul. This is not for the faint of heart. Your commitment must be strong with the willingness to change deeply, as in the joke: "How many transpersonal therapists are needed to change a light bulb?? Only one, but the light bulb must wish to changed."

Amanae bodywork can involve experiencing the very trauma's that are stored, but with the advantage of YOUR being an adult that can regain the power lost to others as a child or from past lives. Afterward, you may experience emotions and learn to live with them in a positive way that was not allowed, when you were growing up. Quotes from those who attended the five day workshops included: "My body was changing for weeks afterwards." " Incredible lightness." . "It was the toughest thing I ever did in my life, but the best thing I ever did in my life!!" Add to this some of the most powerful spiritual energy coming in and you have a concept of this intensity.

Amanae is at least four different techniques combined to form a powerful releasing system. The practitioner does a deep tissue massage to break up the armoring or blocks, and at the same time does a deep breathing. The client on the table also does a deep breathing, which helps reduce the discomfort by bringing in LIFE energy to the point of being worked on like breath work. The practitioner will stop and do a "laying on of hands" causing a flow of strong celestial energy when the client starts releasing stored negative events from the cells. This deep breathing by the practitioner stores up Prana or Mana (life energy) and is used to help transform the negative energies and release them to the earth or outward. The releasing differs from one person to another but often includes crying, releasing anger and screaming as the traumas come foreword and are released from the body cells. THIS CAN BE THE MOST PROFOUND ENERGY WORK YOU MAY EVER EXPERIENCE.

The founder's history is a story of crisis and recovery, plus discovery of true life dedication to the work involved in helping others clear negative patterns. Christine Day was dying of Lupus in an Australian hospital and was recalling grim memories of childhood when she realized her death wish. Seeing this inner rejection of life gave her the light to see that her recovery was dependent on taking responsibility for her own healing and health. Christine's choice to live and rid herself of life-long negative patterns brought her into healing modalities involving meditation, herbal remedies and body work.

During a morning meditation, Christine received the transmission that showed her a series of cellular repatterning techniques which heal the inner child's problems and effectively breaks down armoring. These were used with remarkable results on those who came to get help from her. Next, she was directed to teach and bring the remarkable system on the west coast of America. Here in Northern California she settled down to one of the nation's hot beds of radical and powerful therapies which draw many from around the world. The best quote from Chistine is "I have been given the gift of remembrance - of connecting with ALL THAT IS and living in their divine essence."

In Ukiah, California a group of dedicated individuals has formed as a team to teach and train practitioners of Amanae. Classes are often held there and also at other communities, depending on the demand. They offer both two day and five day workshops of the Amanae work where one can work with others to break through lifelong issues. They also teach a lightbody system and each year more practitioners are being made available in areas all over the state, so contact the office for literature as to finding the closest practitioner to work on your issues.

It is hard to verbalize what your individual reaction or end results might be, or what will change in your life. To define your true self at the end of five days is difficult, because it may mean big changes after months for the better that you can not conceive of yet. I can relate my personal experiences to give you an example of results and there are interviews of others who have done the practitioner training.

My attraction to Amanae was to improve spiritual development and work on my childhood traumas through cleansing and purification. What I encountered was my inner child at five to seven years of age when I lived with trauma such as abuse from my father, and from teachers in the school system. I again experienced, these traumas but played them out with different endings where I reclaimed my power and fought back the aggression to empower my inner child. I didn't have a very abusive childhood but there were experiences etched on my mind and body that had gained control of how I would react at any given time to stressful or awkward situations.

I remembered a horrible first grade school teacher who would shame us into conformity. She was a hostile, abusive dictator, which was all I could remember. But working on the heart area in a five day Amanae workshop, what came out was the hatred for the women school teachers that dominated my life for five years. I did not realize it's importance until I released this traumatic part of my life during the session, when I fantasized about bulldozing and burning down the school with the teachers inside. This was followed by a fantasy about digging up their bones and desecrating them for 1000 years. After energetically releasing this area in my heart I began to laugh uproariously at the destruction of the school and it's teachers, which is not at all like my personality. How did this change me? My attitude towards women had been tainted by these heart-felt injuries all my life without my knowledge. It has been stored in my subconscious and did not come to the surface until this work.

What this accomplished was to change the foundation of my emotions toward the women in my life. My expression of love was different, and my unconscious fear and distrust of women had changed for the better. This is one example of a released trauma engrained so young that I either did not want to remember it, or had blocked it out. I suffered abusive times from my father that came up when the lung area was worked on. The fear of the father had impacted me in the throat and lung area from one incident, and when that came out it was clear that I was able to access much more inner power. This was a truly empowering time for me to experience the trauma, then regain control of the situation.

I was worked for over an hour on the lung area by three people, and it was tough to get through, but when I got off of the table I felt as if someone had shoveled a pile of rocks from my chest. When I stood up and walked from the room, I felt a sense of true power that was new to me, and I know it was a dramatic realization of being my true self had emerged. The muscular structure of my chest area changed; the armoring had receded and the evidence was how far I could push my finger into my chest. My background in massage had proved useful for measuring my body for the changes from this work.

Those who will benefit from this transformational work include those who are hard on the spiritual path and want to advance faster, using an intense cleansing of the body armoring. Others will find a significant life changes, if they have had an abusive childhood or have experienced sexual abuse which affects their lives and emotions. Many can release, energetically, the abuse stored from decades past, also release the emotions and relearn and rewire them with much more insight. As children, we do not understand our parents reasons or motivation for what they have done to us. As adults, we can realign those distorted emotions in a new light and become ourselves again. We can have a new clear vision of how these emotions should have been all along. This section concerns interviews conducted with practitioners of Amanae who were trained in a nine month program. Those interviewed are referred to by their initials, and mine are shown as KR the interviewer.

KR: What were your long term benefits for you from Amanae from the first class to further work?? PR I have had a lot of work being in the nine month training program. It was clearing the body so that you can do the work and hold the space for people to do emotional releases, what ever their releases. I have some major things that sometimes seem subtle but are very big and basic. My trust in the universe is pretty complete, my self esteem has changed drastically. I can't imagine a situation where I would not feel good about myself, that is not to say I am competent about everything, but I feel OK about being incompetent. (laughter!) KR. You are accepting more about yourself, or your true self. SR I never really thought I had a self esteem problem before this. (Amanae) My connection with spirit is much stronger. The most fun thing is that I can feel my heart open more and feel more of everything. (laugh) My health is much better. I had chronic fatigue at the start of the nine month program, just walking to my mail box was a lot. I was commuting five hours to the program and after the first weekend my energy changed drastically and was back up, although it was an up and down thing but that is definitely gone. KR As a practitioner, what were your clients finding it beneficial for? SR There has not been all emotional release, there has been a lot of spiritual integration. You have enough experience with the work to know there is not always a sharing of what goes on, it is a personal experience with yourself . I have people having spiritual experiences such as having Jesus coming in and giving them messages and that sort of thing. One woman accessed the Akashic records and they told her what her life is about. Emotional release, sometimes of physical aliments or muscular type occurs. KR When you went through your first classes, or the nine month training, were you releasing childhood stuff or more with experiencing spiritual energies or changes in that aspect? SR I had a fair amount of both. A lot of the emotional release was way more than childhood stuff, but I got a real sense of the thread weaving of an issue through lifetimes (past lives). For example there is a place in the upper gullet, and someone touched it and I had an issue present time wise , then back to my childhood and then suddenly it was an abandonment thing . Suddenly I felt my jaw rotting and disintegrating and I was abandoned and left to die, then another event of abandon and left to die, and then I was left on a planet. It went back to layers and layers of separation. I am not one to dwell on past lives, I like to keep things present time. KR I met someone that every time they ran Reiki they got a vision of how they died in past life, I wouldn't want to do that!! SR One thing that I got, big time, from this is that -if we are going to change cellularly, and if we are going to be doing death differently perhaps by choice or not at all. If there are a lot of patterns in it cellularly and in mass consciousness that such and such happens..... then you start to age and die. I was finding a real pattern relating to the chronic fatigue dealing with a certain issue and even a specific person interwoven with lots of lifetimes. Something would happen with them, and I would die. KR What about personal growth, was it more accelerated or more personal growth to you?? SR That is all one. The more that you can accept and love and hold a place for yourself and your personality and issues , the more you can feel love in all areas. Through feeling and love is the connection to spirit and your divine self and clearing your body of a lot of patterns allows more light in. I also finished just a few weeks ago on "PAGE SEVEN" training. KR I recently had a private session with Christine with that. I was considering taking the training. SR It was awesome and I had an experience in there, but it was the most profound thing that ever happened in my life. We were doing this work and it was over, and Christine came over and laid her hand on me and said "Well, we are going to finish up now and go into meditation." I just sunk into this deep pit, and I felt effective. It felt like the core belief system, that was really the dysfunctional belief system of my life or lives. It was so hard to be there but I went to it and it was like an aspect of my self, and it was in there, and it was in there going , "You came here for me" (like visiting a dark aspect of the self). I just did not want to leave myself there, It was painful, very emotionally painful, but I went back there for three days.

Then one morning I had a dream about surrendering to love and I knew it was over, and I have been really different since.
