I took Core 1 in 2005, & Core 2 in 2006, so I've been learning, doing, and growing in the work for a few years now. And, I have a question, and would like to pick the brains of all of you who are doing the Core Transformation work.

In the beginning, when I would wait for the "interesting thing," the images that came were indistinct for the most part...geometric shapes, blobs, squiggles, lines, and patchy color shapes. If no interesting thing came to mind or sight, I would simply ask Higher Power to allow me to see this person's "interesting thing," in the context of healing work, so that I could better help him or her. Then I would wait, and in almost every case, an image, impression, or intuition did come. Sometimes it came slowly.

Over time, the images and impressions have changed, and this is the question: Have the interesting things changed for you, over time? More often now, I am getting scenes or impressions of things that are identifiable, rather than blobs and squiggles. I am getting rich color. For instance, I am working with a man in his 30s, with persistent epigastric pain, which doctors, including the Mayo Clinic, have not been able to diagnose. His interesting thing, when I asked (silently) to be allowed to see it, was a glowing white anchor with a twisted rope. The anchor had big flukes, a curved crossbar, and a big "eye" for the heavy rope, which was short and frayed.

I asked him if the symbol of an anchor was meaningful for him, and he laughed and said, "Oh ya, I am anchored to this pain." He describes the pain like something twisted & knotted in his chest. Anchor & twisted rope were dissolved during wombing, & he had very positive results from the first session...and even greater after the second.

So, please share your experiences of "interesting things." What kinds of things did you encounter in the beginning? Has there been change? As you progress in the work, are you seeing interesting things more easily, or more quickly, than in the beginning? Is it getting easier or faster for you to melt them, to push them away?

I started with indistinct (abstract) things, now see high percentage of identifiable things, and am able to dissipate them, for the most part, more easily than when I began. I would love to hear your experiences, so don't be shy, please!

Love to all...

Well Ali,

Wow,
Love how the work and images are progressing for you! That is awesome!

I was working on my friend with the knee problem and I asked for an interesting thing like you do and I got a chair, an old wooden simple chair. Hmmm.. I did not figure that one out. I did get an image of a spider once. I get other images that make me laugh. Spirit has humur I guess!

I also saw with my friend with the knee problem a big mushy red ball that split with holes and red stuff draining out. Lots of times I get images such as gold rivers running through my friends leg yesterday, It is all interesting.

I am looking forward to seeing how things progress for me as well with Core, still a bit of a newbie with it all.

Interesting, Karen...I don't try to interpret the images or impressions I get, I just begin working with that image or impression to "melt" it or move it out. I don't ask what is the meaning.....I trust that this image or impression is there for a good reason, and I just go to work on it. Whatever it means to the healing client, I don't need to know that. Like the CIA, ha ha, we find out things on a "need to know" basis!

The change for me has been from abstract images, to more concrete images, recognizable images. Like the anchor, some are images with a lot of detail. I'm wondering if this is a natural progression of doing the work.

I love the image of a gold river! The icky red ball in the knee is a detailed image, not at ALL abstract! Keep up the good work.

I am sending to Zeus, I just saw your note about him being at the vet's. Hope he will be back home soon & enjoying his breakfast!

Thanks Ali,

A good reminder not to get hung up on the images, really some make me laugh and I guess that is what it is all about. Alain always says just have fun.

Maybe so Ali, you have been at this a lot longer than I have. It is fun though.

My friend had her ultra sound today and it is not a blood clot in her leg but a torn something from riding her bike that has bled and the blood is trying to get out and down her leg. It has moved down the leg. Today I got an image of the muscles separating and rocks falling out. And then turning to fine sand. She was walking better after. We shall see how she is tomorrow.

Thanks for sending to Zeus. He is home and getting into mischief because he is so hungry.
He has now had a second little meal.
Hugs karen

AHHHHH. Excellent!!!!

Thanks for reply on interesting things. Appreciated!

Sleep well tonight, after a day of worry!

Huggzz...

Hello Fambly -- I'm still looking forward to getting more responses to my question.....Or is it that my question is weird, boring, or out of line? To me, it is an interesting thing, ha ha ha.

Has your perception or characterization of "interesting things" changed, as you have progressed into the work? If so, how? And in what time frame? Soon after taking Core, or years later?

I will love to hear your stories and ideas...Thanks.

Interesting question, made think.
When I took Core I, noticed that the way I feel energy, the way I feel something with my "imaginary hands" inside a body has to do with heat. I move my imaginary hands trough a body and say, if there is a problem on the liver, I feel heat on my hands. Sometimes I don't feel heat, I just know that there is a problem, But the feeling of heat occurs more often than just knowing.
The question made realize that I should always pay attention to what is going on inside the client, to feel. Because if they ask me to work on an elbow I go and run energy on the elbow without using my "imaginary hands". I should use them always!

I use then more doing distance QT.
Ali, remember last ime we were in chat room and I talked about my son having a problem on his kidneys ?. We were on a farm 600 miles from Curitiba, where we live. Chris was in the hospital for a couple of days and the doctors didn't know what he had. I awoke early, did my Qigong exercices for 30 minutes and connected with him. When my hancds reached his right kidney I felt a lot of heat, and felt less heat on the left one. Four hour latter his girlfrined called us and said, the Doctors found out : a virus attaked his kidneys, right one was more affected...
From now on I'l use more my imaginary hands, And let you know what I feel more, but I belive it will be heat, because I have been feeling it for the last 25 years.

Dear Ali,
Very interesting observation you made, and detailed descriptions.
It make me to observe more closely what’s going on with my imaginary when doing (being?!) in the
Core.
At first, when I asked to look upon interesting things I also looked at squiggly, wobbly shapes in vivid colors; always in some kind of motion. I always tried to melt them first or to see them dissolve into surrounding womb, and if that not succeed to poke them with the stick, than to run after them until they came back again and then resolve – up to one particular case where neither worked, not even after several attempts.
Surely several attempts made me feel that I’m more in the pushing mode than allowing and observing mode, so I started to ask questions. At „what is the cause of that state“ I started to receive movies about events connected with that particular state, and this movies will last only so long as long as I can watch them without any judgments. They were accompanied with insight or knowledge how those events that I observed on the film affected ( as emotions and conclusions drawn from that experience)that person.

With those films I received I didn't know what to do (I haven't seen core 2 yet, maybe it is well known and described there), so I asked again. It turned out to be that mere observation is sufficient to put „frozen in time“ energy back in flow, and sometimes I receive that I have to describe what I see to the person in case, so he or she can observe it from the different perspective and let go. But mostly I also asked to observe that is solved in a best possible way and then again observe - then either another movie appear again, but mostly, as I asked it, instant change can be felt accompanied with feeling of peacefulness and knowledge that everything is all right.
With Love,
Jelena

Hi, Ali.

For me, nothing has really changed from the collage of colour, blobs, squiggles, dots and shadowy shapes. I think this may be related to a) my comfort with working at this level of abstraction and, b) the fact that I tend not to think symbolically. Mind you, I'm just guessing.

Other than that, I tend to simply 'know' where I am working and at what level by the degree of how much I open myself to experiencing the client's flow. A rather intuitive thing, I must say.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and for the interesting information. I think it's helpful and fun to compare notes on how the work is evolving, what's changing, and what's not. There's much to think about!

Blessings to you all. Huggz from the Ole Poofer, LOL.

Sounds exatly like the kind of visual fireworks paint splodges that I see.
Nice to know it's not just me!!!

Hi Ali,
I took Core 1 in 2006 and I still struggle with allowing the interesting thing. Mostly they are blobs and colors if I see anything at all. What I've discovered is that I feel it more than see it and I go into the feeling of it in the core point. Some days my vision is more clear and sometimes very distinct images, such as the anchor your described, come through. This happens not only with the core work but also with other approaches. Sometimes the interesting thing comes in the form of a scent or a word. Those things are very hard to poke with a stick LOL.

Hi Ali,
For me interesting things have always been (from day one) a combination of shapes like blobs or patterns to actual objects.
I am amazed by the variety of things that pop up and since I never know what it will be it is always unexpected. (ok, there was something a little wordy, verbose and redundant there)

Neat about the anchor tho-

The visual "interesting things" get talked about the most because they are the easiest to describe. My main way of sensing is feeling as well, and seeing is less common. And it's not necessarily that I am feeling something defined, more that I am IN the feeling of the womb. For just Wombing, I feel the opening of the space. For Poking with a Stick, I feel/look for more movement and revel in it; almost dance with it.

Wooo Hoooo, great answers, everybody. You gotta love this stuff. It really does help to have others' experiences to compare with one's own!

Keep them coming, and thanks so much for generous information. Love to you all.
