From Seated I — Brain, Medulla, Neck
Neck Clockwise — नैक क्लॉक वाइज
Gathering the fingers together, rotate them in a clockwise direction on the muscles of the neck, coming from the ear down to the shoulder — do this from above downward, in various directions.
Begin from the left side and go across to the right side.
| Patient's position | Seated Seated |
|---|---|
| Where the hands are placed | The fingers gathered together into a pad, rotating clockwise on the muscles of the neck, from the ear down to the shoulder |
| Duration and repetitions | Clockwise rotation from above downward, in various directions; no count is given. Begin from the left side and go across to the right side Left Right |
| What it is for | Not separately stated |
Two details earn their keep. The fingers are gathered together — a broad soft pad, not a fingertip digging in — and the circles travel from above downward, taking the muscle in successive bands rather than staying in one place. The side order is stated and is not optional: left first, then across to the right.
What lies beneath. The pad sits on the big strap muscle of the side of the neck and, behind it, the muscle that lifts the shoulder blade. A nerve crosses that strap on its way up to the ear — which is why circling here sometimes sends a feeling into the ear lobe or the jaw angle.
The back border of that muscle is a safe working line. Its front border is the wall of the forbidden triangle. Stop at once for light-headedness, a greying of vision or nausea.
From Each Point in Use
The neck, the shoulder and the arm
Light hands at the front of the neck, and a fence never crossed
Table 17 — The neck, the shoulder blade and the arm
| Point | What it is used for | When it must not be used | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neck ghisai Seated | Beneficial for pain of the neck, head, shoulders, fingers and arms. To be given in cervical spondylitis or spondylosis. In it we relax the muscles all around the neck, in this order: first, with light hands, the muscles at the front of the neck and the muscles at the back; then the muscles of the right and left sides of the neck; then, giving a necklace-like treatment, if anything in the bundle of nerves that emerges from below the bone of the forehead has moved out of place, we bring them back to their place; finally, we also relax the muscles attached to the shoulder blade | (the anterior-neck rule governs it absolutely) ▲ Take care | Four stages, in order, and the first is given with light hands. |
| Necklace Seated | To reduce pain in the head, the neck, or the whole body. For those who have pains in half the body, excluding the forehead. To bring urine under control, and to correct the habit of passing urine in bed. Given in paralysis to reduce pain, and to relax the body | (the anterior-neck rule governs it) ▲ Take care | |
| Raman trt. Seated — (3) Raman × 3 treatments; (6) Raman × 6 treatments | To cure pain in the neck, shoulders or knees, or all the pains of the body. If the shoulder has moved from its place, with this treatment it will come back to its old place. Excellent for problems of the uterus; if the testes are not in their correct place; and for the big diseases that arise from problems of the pleura of the lungs, or the pericardium, or the peritoneum | — | Two counts, each with its own number of treatments. |
| Subclavian trt. Seated | Inside the subclavian junction of the thoracic duct, situated on the left side of the throat or neck, the contents of many lymph nodes of the body arrive. So by stimulating it, the movement of the lymphocytes increases, from which their function improves. This is a very powerful pain-killing treatment, by which pain anywhere in the body comes to an end | (the anterior-neck rule governs it) ▲ Take care | Press onto bone, never deep into the hollow. |
| Thoracic T1/T2 Seated | This provokes the lymph nodes. If there is pain in any part of the body, this puts an end to it | — | The station at the two beads below C7. |
| Electrical waves Supine | This relaxes the muscles of the neck. It has been found excellent for asthma or breathing difficulties. Formerly it was given in fits. But now several other good treatments have come for fits — therefore it is not given | — | A treatment retired from one of its uses, with the reason given: better ones came. |
| Stretch — (6) ← → Supine | Pressing on the tips of the fingers, they are pulled outward, because of which it relaxes the muscles of the neck. It gives tremendous relief in breathing troubles. Therefore it is used in asthma, in bronchitis, and in the Oxygen formula | — | It is not necessary to give both sides at the same time. If the left side is given first and the right side afterwards, the result has been found just as good. |
| Shivaji trt. Seated | Given to the patient who cannot raise the arm properly because of pain in the shoulder — the shoulder has become stiff, which is called frozen shoulder. With this treatment, by pressing again and again, we relax the muscles all around the shoulder, from which the blood circulation in them increases and flexibility comes, and the patient begins to get relief | — | |
| Shoulder blade lower Prone | Those who have pain anywhere behind the chest, in the middle part of the back, below the bone of the shoulder — with this treatment that pain goes out | — | Given with the palms, elbows bent, palms facing the sky. |
| Shoulder blade upper Prone | Those who have pain anywhere in the back between the shoulder and the vertebra of the neck — with this treatment the muscles of that part relax and they get relief | — | Given with the feet, elbows bent, palms facing the ground, arms raised. After these two treatments, giving BAFA will be of great benefit in cervical problems. |
| Tennis elbow | Given to take out the pain of the elbow joint. Sometimes the pain is so great that they cannot even lift a spoon. Give until the pain goes out | — | The count is the pain, not a number. |
Three of those entries deserve a second look, because each teaches something about how this therapy handles its own history.
Electrical waves was withdrawn from one of its uses — formerly it was given in fits; but now several other good treatments have come for fits, therefore it is not given. Not because it failed. Because something better arrived. That is a therapy keeping a ledger.
Stretch says the two sides need not be simultaneous — if the left side is given first and the right afterwards, the result has been found just as good. A sentence written by somebody who tested it, for the benefit of a therapist working alone.
Tennis elbow and T8 set their counts by the patient — give until the pain goes out. Where the atlas can name a number it names one; where it cannot, it says so rather than inventing one.

The neck and the shoulders
Seven ordinary complaints, sorted into two heaps by the polarity rule
This is the short table, and it is the most instructive one in the article, because it is the polarity rule written out as seven ordinary shoulder complaints.
Table 8 — Neck and shoulder problems, and the side that is given Left Right
| Point or condition | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Not being able to turn the neck towards the good side | (11) Left Medulla |
| Pain in the neck or the shoulders | (11) Medulla |
| Not being able to rotate the shoulder properly | (11) Left Medulla |
| Frozen shoulder — not being able to raise the arm fully | (11) Left Medulla |
| The shoulder sloping downward | (11) Left Medulla |
| Pain in the shoulder — the kind that comes from a fall or a blow; that too is because of dislocation | (11) Right Medulla |
| The shoulder coming out of its place and dropping a little — shoulder dislocation | (11) Right Medulla |
Sort those seven rows into two heaps and the rule falls out of them.
Reading the eleventh nerve's two sides
Left is given where something will not move enough: a neck that will not turn, a shoulder that will not rotate, an arm that will not rise, a shoulder that has lost its lift and sags. Left opens.
Right is given where something has moved too far: a joint that has come out of its place, a shoulder dropped by a fall. Right closes.
This is the same rule as the cardiac sphincter and the varicose vein, stated in muscle instead of in plumbing. Once you have seen it here, you will find you can predict the side for a complaint you have never met, and then check yourself against the table.
