BONE MARROW CLEANSING FOR CLEARING KARMIC BLOCKAGE
Bone Marrow Cleansing at the skin level
Question
If someone was clearing what appeared to be a 'karmic' blockage what would be the best level at which to practise Bone Marrow Cleansing.

Answer
The best level to clear karmic blockage is at the deepest level, i.e. the bone marrow level. Sometimes it may be cleared at the internal organ level. And sometimes if the cause is no longer valid and the effect manifested as physical blockage, it may be cleared at the meridian level.
Karma means cause and effect. If we plant a mango seed, for example, it will grow into a mango tree. Planting the seed is the cause, and growing into a tree is the effect. Hence, in general karma can occur in the past, the present or the future.
But when we talk about karmic blockage, we usually refer to causes that happened before a person was born but affect his present life unfavourably without him consciously realizing it. If they occurred in his present life when he was aware of them, even if he might forget them later on, we called them energy blockage, or just blockage.
For convenience, karmic blockage may be classified into three areas: while he was a foetus in his mother’s womb, the genes he inherited from his parents or forefathers, and in one or more of his past lives. For example, while he was a foetus, his mother may experience shock which would affect his development as a foetus and be may be born with a defective kidney. Or he may inherit faulty genes from his parents which result in his being born with low intelligence. Or in a past life he was killed when an enemy drove a sword into his stomach, resulting in him having stomach pain or fear of knives for no apparent reasons.
Let us examine the above three examples.
In the first example, the shock experienced by his mother resulted in a person born with a defective kidney. Here the shock is no longer in him. It was borne by his mother. The effect of the shock, i.e. a defective kidney, is still in him. By generating energy flow at his defected kidney, he may rectify it and become healthy again.
However, in some cases, the shock might be imprinted in his defective kidney. He would need to not only rectify the physical defect but also clear the memory of the shock. In classical terms, he has to purify the spirit of the kidney.
Please note that “spirit” is “shen” in Chinese. Here it has no superstitious or religious connotation. But if “shen” is wrongly translated as “god” by writers who lack a deep understanding of chi kung philosophy, it would cause much confusion. Readers would be puzzled as what is actually meant by “purifying the god of the kidney”. What it means is that the negative emotion of shock that was mixed with the energy that eventually formed the kidney and rendered it defective has to be cleared away besides rectifying the structural defect of the kidney.
In the second example, inheriting faulty genes was the cause, and having low intelligence was the effect. Here both the cause, i.e. the faulty genes, and the effect, i.e. low intelligence, are still in the person. He must treat the cause, operate at the bone marrow level. If he only treats the effect, he would not have lasting cure. Chi kung cannot change his genes but it can rectify its faulty. Suppose his genes are supposed to give him an intelligence level of 100, but because some genes are faulty, the genes give him an intelligence level of 95. Chi kung cannot change his genes and give him an intelligence level of 110, but it can rectify the fault to restore his intelligence level of 100. In classical gterms, this is harmonizing his pre-natal chi.
In the third example, the cause was a sword thrust into his stomach in a past live, and the effect is his feeling of pain or fear of knives for no apparent reason in this life. Although he has a new body in this life, his spirit or consciousness is still the same. The traumatic experience in his past life made a deep imprint on his spirit. He has to treat the cause, i.e. erasing the imprint. And not treat the effect, i.e. trying to stop his stomach pain or explaining to him that he needs not be afraid of knives. The level to operate on is the bone marrow. By cleansing his bone marrow, he can erase the imprint, and he will no longer have stomach pain or fear of knives.
