Three Method Corrections

At the end of Textbook 1, on pages 55, 56, and 57, are given three harmonizing sequences called First, Second, and Third Method Correction. In my class notes, I have the following quote from Jiro Murai (by way of Wayne Hackett) regarding the function of these three sequences.

“The application of any one of these three flows may be sufficient to reverse a lifetime of disharmony.”

Jiro Murai

Some of the steps in the Corrections are hard to apply to oneself for self-help. Below, I offer the variations I do for self-help.

First Method Correction

How To Bring Harmony

Left Side

  1. Left hand on Left 11, Right hand on Left 22
  2. Right hand on Right 2
  3. Right hand on Left 8
  4. Right hand on Left Hi 19

Right Side

  1. Right hand on Right 11, Left hand on Right 22
  2. Left hand on Left 2
  3. Left hand on Right 8
  4. Left hand on Right Hi 19

Commentary

First Method can help lung congestions, tension in the shoulders, and high-fever conditions according to M. Burmeister [T2, p. 55]. It also helps 1st and 2nd Depth projects, since it relates to the Surface Function Energy (Lung and Large Intestine, and Stomach and Spleen FE).

First Method helps us free ourselves from emotional history – the memories of past trauma and suffering that eventually become entrenched in the body. Mentally and emotionally, it brings spark back to life. It also relates to the Bust Line in the 3-Line Division and brings the Mediator in harmony with itself.

According to Carlos Gutterres, it helps the Thymus, Parathyroid, and Thyroid gland functions.

On a physical level, according to Wayne Hackett, the last three steps done in reverse order can help us in emergency situations when we are having trouble breathing:

  1. Left hand on Left 11, Right hand on Left Hi 19 (on someone else, we reach for the Left 10)
  2. Right hand on Left 8
  3. Right hand on Right 2

Second Method Correction

How To Bring Harmony

Left Side

  1. Left hand on Left 15, Right hand on Left 2
  2. Right hand on Left 1
  3. Right hand on Left Hi 19
  4. Right hand on Left 4

Right Side

  1. Right hand on Right 15, Left hand on Right 2
  2. Left hand on Right 1
  3. Left hand on Right Hi 19
  4. Left hand on Right 4

Commentary

Second Method Correction clears up the hip line and restores the Mediator – Supervisor relationship.  It helps alignment issues and it is called sometimes the “chiropractor”. Second Method is also related to the Hip Line and because it resonates with 2 and Duality, it helps with discomfort due to physical misalignment. It is particularly good for pain and numbness in the body, for bones and spine alignment.

The entire flow releases accumulation in the body and is very helpful before and after surgery or aggressive therapies that tax the body. In general, it helps everything physical. 

I’ve used the steps above to open SEL 2 and alleviate any physical discomforts along my legs – from toes and feet up to the hips.

Third Method Correction

How To Bring Harmony

Left/Right Side (there is only one side of it just as the Main Central, and the 13 flow)

Place the right hand on top of the head and the left hand on the coccyx.

You can find a 9-step Self-Help sequence for Third Method Correction here.

Commentary

Third Method Correction restores the relationship of the Mediator with the Main Central. It is powerful and all-round helpful. It can be used in emergency situations when we don’t know what else to do. This sequence has no sides just as the sequences for the Main Central and Safety Energy Lock 13. By the way, all three sequences help directly the Main Central Vertical Harmonizing Energy.

The experience of the Third Method Correction is the closest in Jin Shin Jyutsu that can help us change our mental attitudes. Sometimes we get caught up too much in thoughts of sickness and misery that we forget that we were meant to be happy and healthy.  The application of the Third Method can help us change our mind and become open to healing again. It also works to release accumulated tension in the Waist Line.  It helps us recognize our illusions and to reconnect to the Source. It is particularly helpful in cases of guilt, hurt, mental and emotional projects, to stop the destruction, and when the zest for life has been lost.
