TRANSCRIPT OF EPISODE
You can activate your ability to heal, develop and evolve by going on a journey into the most primitive part of your information system: the governing vessel. The governing vessel is a current of energy that acts as a roadmap for your body, directing the process of development from a fertilized ovum into a fully fledged human being. By connecting to this part of yourself on purpose, you can enter into a whole new phase of human development: conscious evolution.
Welcome to the Light Body Activation podcast, where you can explore and directly experience developing parts of your energy system. My intention is to provide reliable, safe, life promoting information that allows you to access parts of yourself that you may have never before identified or felt. Using a practical system to expand perception, you can expand your strength, knowledge and flexibility while coming into more synchrony with your soul vibration.
Governing vessel pathway
Today we will journey into the world of the governing vessel, the most primitive part of the human information system. At the moment of your conception, a circuit of energy was created: the governing vessel. It held all of the information needed to direct your development from a fertilized ovum into a fully fledged human being. You could think of it as a roadmap for your body.
The Governing Vessel directs the development of the more specialized energy currents (meridians) in a growing embryo, as well as the creation of the nervous system, organs, glands, bones, etc. The spine itself is the material manifestation of governing vessel energy. By using our awareness to travel inwards and interface with the governing vessel and its related components, we activate our ability to not only heal, but develop and evolve.
In order to get started today, we’ll begin with some freeform proprioceptive exercise, which was introduced in the episode https://www.buzzsprout.com/1050907/4683413. Then we will be connecting to many of the physical layers that lie along the pathway of the governing vessel: vertebrae, spinal cord, cranial sacral fluid, meninges, muscles and ligaments. We will also do work with the seven main chakras, since they interface directly with the flow of governing vessel. This process will empower you to utilize the information and energy available right inside of your very cells, as well as empower you to become an active participant in the your evolution.
There is a whole modality of healing bodywork called Shin Tai that focuses on the governing vessel. For those of you who are shin tai practitioners, this episode is a wonderful way to deepen your understanding of this pathway and how to work with it in the body. If you’re not a shin tai practitioner but are interested in learning this type of hands-on therapy, we offer a series of online instructional courses that you can check out using a link that’s in the show notes. The classes are appropriate for anyone who’s interested in using their hands and their heart to support the health of family or clients.
Ok, let’s expand our perceptions, power up our bodies, and take an adventure into expanded frequencies of experience. I suggest you set yourself up in a quiet, comfortable space on the floor. Turn off your phone and make sure you won’t be disturbed. I don’t recommend you do this while doing something else, like driving or working out. You will need to really focus on just this in order to get the optimal benefit. Here we go….

Conclusion
You’re accessing information from a very primitive, cellular level when you go into your body in the way we did in the process. You don’t need to figure everything out with your mind right now, just feel. The sensations themselves are information. They will often filter down into intellectual understanding a bit after the actual visceral experience. We specifically activated the flow of governing vessel, which is particularly effective at liberating your unique endowment of life force. Your ‘Inner Director’ is now more able to steer you with clarity and strength as you navigate your daily life.
Be gentle with yourself as you exit this experience. Try not to rush into your regular activities right away. If that’s not possible, make sure to drink some water or tea and have something light to eat in order to help contract your membranes.
Keep some of your attention on sensations in and around your body during the next days. This will amplify the flow of energy in your system. Your attention is like sunlight to a garden: it nourishes both your physical and vibrational layers and helps them to develop, grow and bloom. Often our attention is scattered outside of ourselves, dispersing life force away from our home base. When you practice paying attention to your body, you are giving a gift not only to your own self, but to everyone else in your life. You’re cultivating a balanced and energized inner environment that can emanate strength rather than exhaustion. You become a model for not just sustainable living, but flourishing living.
Thanks so much for your presence today. I really enjoy doing this work with you and look forward to another light body activation adventure soon.
