The Twelve Minute Session

Practice full-out, non-stop, everywhere, and with everybody until, as referred to by Tibet’s medical Llamas, ‘Upon seeing a person, you will heal’.

In T. Lobsang Rampa’s book The Third Eye, He describes his living and schooling at Tibet’s top medical lamasery-ashram known as Chakapuri. Though living and training there since the age of six till into his twenties, we get to hear from the author of an event when an enemy assassin lost his footing on a mountain side and failed in his attempt to murder the Dalai Lama of 1940’s. Despite the assassin’s attempt, the compassionate (metta) resident doctor- abbots performed the necessary surgery to amputate the assassin’s legs and save his life. The author T. Lobsang Rampa tells us that the only anesthesia that was administered was a trance meditation induced by T. Lobsang Rampa’s beloved teacher, Mingyar Dundop, who gazed into the assassin’s eyes before removing the damaged legs “WITHOUT ANY DISCOMFORT”. There was no discomfort to the assassin upon revival either.

For the last half of the 70’s, I was a Hare Krishna monk following a strict classical Vedic (yogic) lifestyle, andBhakti Yoga, the sacred spirituality of practicing unconditional loving service, became my breath and life. Unimaginably fortunate Grace guided and altered my footsteps as I learned about bhakti and that bhakti is loving devotion to a Personal Deity. Emerging essentially as even more vital was the knowledge of devotion to the art of devotion. Bhakti-Yoga. Discussion of Bhakti is a joyful subject. Discussion of bhakti is the discovery of a cache of jewels in a jeweled cave!

Devotion to the love of the anatriptic (touch) arts produces the consummate expertise in the desirable 12-minute session. The potency of a succinct and powerful 12-minute session manifests subsequent to uninterrupted practice and focus on the massage art. When this procured vital essence is transferred upon a receiver, the signs and indications will be obvious and equivalent to the affect of an hour long treatment.

How is this possible? Please consider the following.  Within the 12-minute treatment’s ambiance is the transmission of quality (shakti) and seasoned experience which is the elixir of medicine formulated from tested and weathered times doing massage. This will cause positive affects replicating symptoms identical to a person who has received an hour procedure.

The brief treatments are all comparable. For example, the 6-minute session, the 7-minute session, the 8-minute session, the 9-minute session, 14-minute session, even a 3 minute hand or foot or ear reflexology massage, are all valid durations to entrance a recipient with recovery, attunement, psychological inspiration and the relief from duress.  Sublime medicine describes these brief, proficient sessions.

In 2005 at an alternative medicine celebration taking place at the Nashville Convention center in Tennessee, 200 persons received my massage in 2 days. No charge/money was required.   The sponsors at our exhibit were as surprised as I was at each recipient’s delighted and elated response!

Yet to summit this mountain and attain to what equates to becoming an authentic conduit for cosmic healing abilities requires steadfastness, diligence, persistence, vision, belief, and of course, Devotion.

I feel many therapists are presently in possession of this elixir/talent called expertly the ‘brief treatment’. However, absent from our view are these valuable practitioners because a certain courage and conviction are needed to step into the light of therapeutic confidence which will be forged genuine only after going into our soul’s potential for commitment.
