Harmony and Communication

Mary-Anne Wielinga • February 12, 2023

Today I will explore two forehead points: Frontal 3 and Glabella.



Frontal 3 was one of my earliest discoveries. It essentially represents being of “one mind”. 

Ok, so let’s rewind a bit and I will walk you through this. 

We have two sides or hemispheres of our neocortex – our thinking, perceiving mind. Lots of people talk of being right or left brained. In fact, we should be a beautiful synergy of both left and right minds dancing together to experience the world and resolve any challenges. There is a bridge between the right and left hemisphere: the corpus callosum. This bridge is the communication point between our left and right minds. The old saying, "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" – if you cut this bridge – that is exactly what happens! We are unable to communicate within!

So, I imagine this Frontal 3 point is like the theoretical external manifestation of the corpus callosum. When we are functioning with both minds (left and right) in synergy, we are of “one mind”. We perceive information, we process input in a balanced manner, rather than “seeing” only one side.

To me the left and right sides of us can be what we perceive and what we believe. These frequently clash. When we are "open minded " to whatever we experience, this means we don't fight with ourselves internally. We are communicating well internally between our "minds". We don't make our experiences fit what we believe. We allow ourselves to be stretched by our experiences. It is good to challenge what we believe, and it is great to not just accept how things seem on the surface.

Frontal 3 can give you pain when you refuse to take in account "evidence" that doesn't fit your world view. This is when what you see and experience doesn't fit with your internal world view. Here are some examples.

Gallileo observed that the earth was revolving around the sun and that did not wash with those in authority, as it didn't fit with their beliefs. Until then, the earth was seen as the centre of the universe.

Germ theory also fits here. More than one doctor fought their whole lives to have hand washing bought in (autosopy then onto delivering a baby with out washing your hands anyone?). These two illustrations also fit with the Glabella point down lower in the body. I'll take the example in the opposite direction now. To me, it is so obvious that we are more than body and mind. We obviously have spirits and electrical fields, and as a result have experiences that don't fit easily into the medical model. How do twins on the other side of the globe know one is injured? How do some people sense other people’s feelings when they are in distress? It's a long list. The issue is taking in all information without bias and processing this information. When we are especially stuck or blocked in the process, this point can hurt.

When we are not in harmony within, it is hard to be in harmony with others. Which is our next point, Glabella.


Glabella – this is essentially between the eyebrows.

This point is more about how you feel and interact with others. Disharmony within us results in disharmony with others. If you have one opinion and others see the world differently, you can be “sulky not humble”. You may really take a dislike to egotistical people, or to people you think are arrogant, which is, let's face it, arrogant. You are humble when you realise and allow others to have different opinions. It can also show up when you feel everyone always treats you like you are wrong, or even if you are gaslit by someone (to cause a person to doubt their judgment).

Honestly, the most obvious time this showed up with people was during the covid Christmas. Ideally, we have our opinions in life, and we can peacefully and kindly negotiate with others that have different opinions. This I call “humble” for simplicity. When you are threatened, pushed or bullied by others’ opinions, or do the pushing yourself, this centre can hurt. Christmas time 2021 for many people resulted in nasty fights in families due to non/vaccination disagreements and people turning up to parties with covid and creating spreader events. There was over-analysing, justification of position and irritation at the egotistical nature of others… resulting in sulking.

In my experience these points can hurt like a pressure on the head, as well as tingling, itchiness, and other sensations. Didn't begin with an easy point again, did I? Please be aware there are many points in and around these two mentioned. If you get an ache near there, but can't relate to these emotions, it may be something else (a different emotion, a physical aliment etc). These points correlate with the location of the 6th Chakra. They may relate to the 6th Chakra, but are not it. Perhaps they represent two blocks of lego- in a house made of lego; when I work it out, I'll let you know.

I have a list of essential oils and flower remedies I have used to help people with these points so far. I am fairly sure there are a lot more to be discovered.

Tall yellow top. is a gorgeous remedy for alienation and isolation. It is particularly for when your mind takes over from your heart. Bush Fuchsia for integrating information.

Rosalina is an Aussie Melaleuca, related to tea tree. It is great for shifting heavy heart feelings.

Steady and Balance are doTERRA blended oils for re-centring and being balanced and calm, especially great for the over thinker.

I have taken several days and drafts to write this post as it was hard for me to express what I am seeing with these points. I still feel as though it has been pulled out of me not fully formed, so please let me know if it still doesn't make sense. Most of the time when I explore these points with people, I will get small pieces of info and occasionally a full story. I have persisted and presented this to you my dear fellow travellers as I consider them to be very important. How we see the world, and how we interact within ourselves and with others, changes everything else. I followed it on from heart 2 as they link with each other, and both are about perceiving and communicating.

May you Enlighten the eyes of your heart and see the world

Healing as a whole person

By Mary-Anne Wielinga • January 29, 2024
One concept of health is wholeness in body, mind and spirit. Yet what I consider 'health’ as is not a ‘perfect’ whole body, mind and spirit. Perfect is not really achievable for many (and is the top athlete ever truly happy with their health? I don't know!). We need to look at health in a living state of our body, mind and spirit. The World Health organisation describes health as; "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".

seeing the whole body

By Mary-Anne Wielinga • December 4, 2023
We have been looking at the links between our body, mind and spirit. The question remains: how are they linked when we are unwell? The idea that what we think and feel can make us sick has been around for a long time. On the flipside, it is very clear that sometimes we are sick independent of thoughts and feelings. Yet the emotions appear to be there anyway. How does that work? They seem to be impossible to unravel. In fact, I suspect it is simultaneous; it happens together. It may appear that one precedes the other, and perhaps that is true. My theory is that the WHOLE self changes its function and it manifests in one form, most visibly in the body. Yet, body, mind and spirit are damaged at the same time. I know this appears to be different to the comment I wrote in my last blog - that a ‘broken’ body can be whole and healthy. Perhaps the examples in my mind are people that have grown as a result of their injuries? An accident ends with a body becoming paraplegic; however, the person’s mind and spirit grow in strength and stamina. Spiritual and emotional well-being can be independent of physical health. Perhaps this is the exception? Or a goal? If we are blessed to age, we have changes in our body, markers of our life, such as arthritis in the fingers, bellies that sag, and wrinkles. These are normal. For example, corrosive thinking wears down the body, which aligns with basic histology that shows cells can take decades to change their form. The cells are eventually worn down. They function differently for a while, then change shape and become functionally different. Specific example: type two diabetes doesn't come out of nowhere; the body is attempting to cope for a long time before it can no longer work its insulin magic. Change means that time is a key factor. My limited understanding of physics suggests that the answer will eventually come from there. Give it another 50 years. There is some very cool information on simultaneous time (time appears to flow forwards and backwards) as well as quantum entanglement. We are peeking at a problem in another room through a little keyhole! In my practice, I have seen how the WHOLE self changes its function and sickness manifests in one form, most visibly in the body. However, with an ill body, the mind and spirit are damaged in a linked timeframe. We have so much more to learn. In my next post I talk about this with concrete examples.

I have used this term ‘balance’ quite a lot in my blogs, but the meaning may at times be elusive to its actual function in our bodies.

Update

August 20, 2023
Hello my friends! A little update to let you know how my project is progressing. I now have a sight on when I will finish getting the last 10% of my "scribbles" into confluence. 10th of September! thats the plan ! keep me accountable, ok? I have hit a few snags in this last bit. Firstly when I started writing down my arms work several years ago, I muddled up the drawings of the arms. It turns out if you don't draw enough land marks it is quite easy to mix the orientation of the arms.. don't ask, its a painful, irritating mistake. The result is I will need to remap the arms again. As well as being almost finished with digitising, I would say I am close to having mapped the body "completely" the first time around. Perhaps 80-90% ? ( hmmm maybe that estimate is a bit high..) As I have said earlier I expect to need to travel to other communities to complete the work fully, as well as needing about 10-20 years to finish it to a satisfactory level. What do I mean by that? Each Body point is its own story and journey within it and will need many, many datapoints over time to round it out and make it complete. Time is the only remedy for that one! I've decided to have an open day on the 10th of September (2023) if you are local and can pop in, I would love to see you. I am planning to have all my work out, with Tracy's gorgeous illustrations to be seen! I have a few hundred pages by the way! I plan to show everyone a little of how it works on the day. If you are curious, this is the day for you! xx Mary-Anne

Madness

August 17, 2023
I thought I was going mad. I have been feeling like an old typewriter... following a trail of ideas and attempting to go back to the beginning... over and over again. Do you remember the typewriters that have the lever so you can use "return" and start the next row? But rows flow? "ting!" My madness was in thinking that the way I have been creating was "wonky" or "wrong". The weird idea was that I was supposed to follow one path of ideas to completion and then start the next idea. WRONG! Instead I have been working on multiple threads of projects all at once… like a mad busy lady. I realise now, if I followed that way, I would lose so many leads of information and lose an immense amount of time (I'm guessing years, people!). Sigh. Relief. I am what I am. Those of you that know me well would be fully aware that I am a sensitive creature that tends to not care and also fret - all at the same time. I feel a sense of relief that this way of working, my way, is indeed perfect for my job. At the moment I am attempting to create a cohesive picture of the Chest. It involves about 11 paired lung points, the 6 heart points, an undetermined number of intercostal points, possibly 9 paired breast points, as well as the rib margin points. Also, did I mention the points around the collarbone? Many of these are very close to each other and may overlap. What makes it extra tricky is that mapping and recording one point this morning resulted in me working on a left foot point, in an entirely different system (wait what.. another system? Yes, I am creating 3 different systems at once… that info can just remain hidden for a few more years). Chest, breast, foot, now… where was I? So now you can see why I feel like a typewriter... I must continually return my little brain to the beginning.... "ting!". But I also need to acknowledge the threads and links… and that is where more knowledge and insights may lie.  My darling cousin R said years ago I was like a Rosella... noisy, colourful, messy and creative, and just to be myself. Slowly, slowly, I see that this insane, haphazard way of creating is just fine, thanks ! Thanks for listening! xx Mary-Anne
