Umbilicus Function Energy

Pathway

At 10 p.m., Diaphragm Function Energy becomes Umbilicus Function Energy at the outer edge of the ring fingernail. From there, it begins a superficial descent along the back of the wrist, elbow, and arm joint. At the shoulder, it moves downward through the rib cage to reach the area of the third front rib, where it divides into two flows—one descending and one ascending.

The descending branch [T2, p.30, 2a] first scatters at the opposite third rib cartilage, then gathers again at the fifth rib, eventually flowing into the heart. From there, the left Umbilicus Function Energy continues through the pancreas into the stomach, while the right flows through the gallbladder into the stomach.

The ascending branch [T2, p.30, 2b] moves upward through the neck muscles, crosses the body at the first thoracic vertebra (TV1) to the opposite side, and continues ascending until it reaches about two inches from the ear, where it divides once more. One branch flows diagonally through the head, emerges at the inner side of the eyebrow, and then crosses to the outer corner of the eye. The other branch passes from behind the ear into the ear itself. It reaches the lower eyelid at midnight, where it becomes Gall Bladder Function Energy.

How To Harmonize

  • Ring Finger
  • 11-15: For the right flow, place the left hand on the right shoulder (R11) and the right hand on the right groin area (R15). Reverse for the left flow
  • Build yourself a halo: For the right sequence, place the left hand on the right shoulder (R11) and the left hand on the following: right 12, right 20, left 12, one at a time. For the left sequence, right hand on the left shoulder (L11) and the right hand on the following: left 12, left 20, right 12.

Further Commentary

Did you know that there are only two self-help sequences given in Text 2 by Mary Burmeister? One of it is the Bladder self-help on page 24, and the Umbilicus self-help adjustment on page 31 just above the regular harmonizing sequence.

Guardian of the body

Umbilicus nourishes all 12-body Function Energy. Mentally, Umbilicus helps if you feel worn out, and embattled, and you are in a dire need for renewal, healing, and regeneration, Umbilicus Function Energy is your friend. Out of the 12-fold Body Function Energy harmonizing sequences that Mary Burmeister gave in her Text 2, only two have self-help sequences. One is the Bladder and the other is the Umbilicus Function Energy. 

Umbilicus and the ear

The final ascending part of Umbilicus goes directly through the ear before it becomes Gall Bladder.  Two other flows help the ear as well: Kidney and Small Intestine Function Energy.  While Kidney helps ear infection, and Small Intestine Function helps deep ear, disharmonized Umbilicus FE can lead to ear ringing [T2, p. 30]
