I have been working with this concept for a long time and am curious what others consider an allowing state.

I personally like to get as deep into a sense of opening within myself as I can. To do this I like to use the Core breath (from Core Transformation class) to enter into a state of total fluidity and connection to the "all that is" that I can. From here whether you choose to do a more Yin approach (core focus or "opening") or a more Yang focus (basic and SC or sending) is up to you.

The key is to become less formed in ones own being so there is a sense of blending with everything. This in turn provides less resistance to both the offering process and the receiving process. In this way oneness is experienced. The sense of separation leaves and possibilities open exponentially. This in turn provides faster and deeper results for the healing process, at least in my experience.

Comments or other views please.

Hi Alain,
To me if I can put it into words what I feel,
Allowing is the freedom the wide open space of "anything can happen". Being in the pure state ,greeting and honouring the divinity in the other and yourself and knowing/feeling and trusting all is done for the Highest good of the other, its a no mind state and one step closer to feeling we are all One.

With Love and Light ^I^

Hi Alain,
To me allowing is a totally relaxed feeling in the center of my being.
I might start with the intention of allowing, accepting what is, but I've arrived when I have no thought and I am being rather than doing (thinking).

Keeping 'Ego' out of the equation. Bringing in 'space consciousness'.

Allowing is a state I reach when the "me" comes out of the equation. When all simply is and I am not trying to do or be anything.

When using Yang I reach it by focussing on the breathing and by keeping my eyes open and staring on the floor or in the distance. THis focuss brings me to a space inwards. Then all becomes one, there is no distance between me and the person I work on, and the process unfolds on its own.

When using Core it happens by just going in core point and not work hard at trying to be or remain there. I just let it happen and by mere presence, consciousness is brought to the area. Ah here's a conductor, lets all get synchronised to the beat of consciousness the area seems to say.

The mild thought: Do not hold on too tightly because that will prevent the chi from flowing properly, but do not let go completely or you Will Just go limp and fall asleep.

SUNG: The foundation of every kind of energy is sung. Sung is less about being relaxed and more about being open. Opening up the body and removing the blockages inside, both physical and mental. The sung state is like a tender, new leaf; soft, fresh , and full of living force.

Sung comes from cultivating the chi flow in the body, People often mistakenly talk about “creating” chi or “building” chi, like building a fire. But since chi is the very essence of the universe, it cannot really be created or destroyed, it can only be managed. There is no good chi or bad chi, Just chi in the wrong place or the right place. Relaxation is like a process, a state of mind, but the state of sung is the result.
This is from the book "The Medicine Box" by Shan-Tsung Hsu

So, for me, when we run QT on a SUNG STATE, we are allowing.

For me, allowing is the opposite of resisting. It's relaxing my mental and physical state, creating space and an overall sense of receptivity. It is also, in another way, the opposite of intending, that is, imposing my will in terms of what I want to happen. It's almost like my consciousness becomes a willing medium for collective being and unfolding.

Blessings,
Alfred
