Summer Vacation
Ed Altman, San Rafael, CA
My wife, Noël, and I went horseback riding this past summer, and I was given a very willful stallion named “Michael” to ride. I had only ridden horses a couple of times in the past, and I was having some difficulty with the restlessness of my horse.
I began to ground the Chi through the soles of my feet. I also concentrated on moving with the horse from the T’an T’ien. Then I began to practice the “Violet Light” technique which is taught as part of the Maximum Chi Program in Seijaku. After 3 – 5 repetitions of the “Violet Light” the horse became considerably calmer.
At one point during this time the horse turned his head and seemed to look at me with curiosity. It was obvious that he was feeling something as I continued to practice the technique. When I had finished I had no trouble with him for the rest of the day. He responded to my directions and was a joy to ride.
