Opening the heart
Interview with Christine Day, founder of the Amanae approach
Question: "How are blocks removed in different areas of our lives?"
Christine: "With Amanae the first thing we do is we open the heart...because the heart is the area that receives your Light and gives out...to the self and to others. So the heart chakra...or the heart area...is very important with this process. And we don't work with the chakra system. I call it the heart chakra, but we don't work with the chakra system at all. This work is not aligned with the chakra system. It certainly changes the chakra system but it's not in any way aligned with it. And I'll have to say this,too...from the time I was given the work I was told not to read anything, so I'm very ignorant when it comes to anything else. As far as other modes of healing, I only know what other people have said who have come...who have done a lot of healing in other areas...and they say it's really not like anything else. So, I don't know about that. But I just work with what I'm shown and this process has unfolded because of that. And I'm glad and grateful that I haven't read anything. It keeps a pure line coming through to me and I don't make assessments. I just allow this process to unfold."
"So, the work deals with doorways. We call them doorways because they are openings that allow openings in your life. They allow you to walk through doorways. Doorways feels very appropriate. And the doorways are located through the back of the body and through the front of the body...so they're almost right through every area of the body. But with Amanae you may not work the full...you probably would not work the full body during a session. It's physical openings into the body so it's certainly a physical work...it's not just hands on Energy work. We call different areas different things in the body. Like we have an anger areas, we have sexual areas, we have childhood areas...where the tapes are stored. We have fear areas. The lower part of the spine is a fear area with Amanae. So, there are different areas through the body that hold specific emotions. It doesn't mean they only hold those emotions, but they tend to contain more of that emotion than anywhere else in the body. So different areas work different ways. We always start with opening the heart. That's very important. So the heart is where we hold the feeling. We wouldn't be able to work the body with the heart closed...we'd want that open.
So we start working in a doorway. There's a breath that is accompanying this work. Now the breath is your way of giving permission for the process to take place. And the breath is like a deep sigh in and out the mouth...it's like you just climbed to the top of the mountain and you take a deep sigh in and out the mouth. And the breath says two things...It says "Yes, I am willing and my intention is to let go and allow myself to let go". And the second thing it says is "Yes, I am willing to receive my Light". Because as the doorways open, the doorways access the stored emotion...the blocks...that are stopping you from receiving yourself, receiving from other people, or getting on with your life. So the doorways get opened in a physical way. You start breathing into the area and the body starts to shift.
