The Energy Field Properties of Spikenard
How Spikenard (Himalayan Valerian or Jatamansi) affects the Human Energy Field

It is with great joy that I write this - an article more than 20 years in the making - about one of my most favorite herbs ever. This amazing herb is called 'Spikenard' in English and 'Jatamansi' in Sanskrit. There is almost no ancient healing practice on earth that does not revere its healing and rejuvenating properties. Its connection to love, romance and wellbeing are documented in the Bible in the Song of Solomon and in the New Testament as the expensive perfume used by Mary Magdalene to anoint the feet of Jesus. Odes to its healing properties are sung in almost any of the ancient texts - be it Kabbala or Ayurvedic.

Spikenard represents the connection between two twin passions I've had ever since I was born. One is the Bible, the other is the energy healing properties of Herbs and flowers. Naturally among the first herbs I studied, were the herbs mentioned in the Bible. But Spikenard eluded me. It just didn't grow in the place I grew up in, in South India. That didn't stop me though. I made my way to it - all the way up to Himalayas - finally making contact with its raw form at age 24. Since the first time I held it in my palm - brought to me by a hillsman who knew where to find it growing wild (7-14,000 feet above sea level), I have been fatally in love with it.

In its herbal extract form, its great for digestion, stress relief and nervous system repair. But what it does in its pure energy field form is just amazing. I will try to list its effects here but keep in mind, this is a study in progress, I keep finding new ways it works. This is because it is one of those herbs that affects people differently.

For example, given to children it helps them stay calm in stressful times - like exam-time, and gets their digestive system going. In teenagers it stimulates the production of the sex hormones so their reproductive system develops properly, a great help for those teens who are stressed out about not developing physically like their peers.

In adults Spikenard's energy field causes hormonal re-adjustment to new environments - imagine what that means for people who move house to climates they are not accustomed to! It also balances the energy field by removing blocks on the vertical energy axis. This means that no matter where you lack energy in your body, Spikenard will cause energy to go just there!! You see, Spikenard has an intelligence of its own.

This is also perhaps why it is one of the most difficult herbs to understand. What's a healer supposed to do if a herb that's supposed to make someone sleep better, actually causes the person to feel more awake?

You see, Spikenard is unpredictable because it simply stays in the center of the energy field, and lets itself be directed by the polarity of the person's energy field itself rather than move according to its own pattern. Unlike garlic which causes energy to flow out from the center, or lime which causes energy to collect up towards the center,Spikenard just prepares the energy in our center to be ready to move. What happens next is totally dependent on how your energy field wants to use the energy. Just like wind moves from an area of high pressure - where there's lots of air - to an area of low pressure - where there is less air - so energy in our energy field moves to where its needed. Spikenard just makes that possible by making our energy center open to sending out energy. How beautiful is that!

In the field of Energy Medicine I am trained in, this property is spoke of this way; 'No matter what you want to do, Jatamansi (Himalayan Spikenard) helps you do that. If you need to cry, you will cry. If you want to sleep, you will sleep. If you want to dance, you will dance, if you want to love, you will love. Do not try to control Jatamansi (Spikenard), it follows the path of the divine in the body of the human.'

Some of the amazing applications of Spikenard in Energy Medicine;

1) Melatonin Balance in the Pineal Gland

Spikenard is the vital energy field I use to treat imbalance and enlargements of the Pineal Gland. It is the only energy field that I know that will reduce the amount of melatonin in an overactive Pineal Gland. This is an invaluable aid to sleep cycle correction, treatment of chronic clinical depression and all manner of sleep and nervous system disorders. It also greatly helps those who have unbalanced psychic activity. The chain reaction set off in the body by the Pineal Gland balancing its function (and even size over time) are just as amazing.

When the Pineal Gland rejuvenates itself it slowly stops piling on the grey ash-like deposit of calcium that settles over it with age - this is one of the foremost triggers of 'ageing' in the body as the light reaching the Pineal Gland gets blocked off by the calcium. Slowing or stopping this depository activity means ageing in the body itself slows down as the Pineal Gland continues to direct the body's energy to flow just as in youth. This means proper Vitamin D synthesis because of the light exposure and this leads to great sleep, mental and nervous balance, weight balance, skin health, bone health, robust immunity, hormonal balance and so on.

2) Treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome - from Babies to Adults

IBS is caused by a long term imbalance in the chemicals in the bowels making our tummies hyper sensitive and unable to deal with various substances. Spikenard's energy field property of simply sending energy where it is needed ends up balancing the chemical reactions in the stomach as a secondary effect. It is a great help when little babies obviously have a digestive problem and you don't want to give the baby strong medicines which could negatively affect the little one's immunity or histamine balance. Two drops of water charged with Spikenard's energy will help the little one's stomach calm down immediately and generate the right hormones to balance the inner lining all through the digestive system.

3) Treating Chronic Bad Breath

Chronic Bad breath is simply staleness or infection somewhere in the digestive tract (mouth to intestines) or ear-nose-throat canal. If you know where the infection is, its easy enough to treat. But chronic bad breath is usually difficult to place. There doesn't seem to be any one particular place, and the person is otherwise in completely good health, so what do you then? The solution here is the energy field of Spikenard because it simply sends energy where it is needed - to push out stale energy, or decaying cells, or energize cells to fight infection.

4) Rejuvenating Voice Function

This is one came as a surprise. A childhood friend of mine who has always been a great singer suddenly developed a strange problem one fine day. She was singing right, in the right pitch and had no problems holding notes for a long time. But it sounded like she was choking somewhere. Her sister and I just couldn't understand it. J was very hurt by it, because people began joking about her voice - her Dad even said her voice was 'breaking'. J garled with salt water and took all manner of respiratory tract clearing medicines but nothing worked.

At around the same time she also developed chronic bad breath for no reason. To treat the bad breath I got her to try my energy medicine, the main energy field being Spikenard, but even after two days there seemed to be no change whatsoever. On the third day we were fooling around her room when she suddenly straightened up and said she felt a tightening in her chest. After a few uncomfortable minutes she took a deep breath and when she spoke again the 'choked' quality was gone. In that same moment the bad breath also was gone (I checked personally).

Since then I have seen Spikenard helping those with energy blocks the vocal cords and tracchea - as area otherwise not very easy to treat. A 'voice' is a combination of healthy flexible vocal cords and a clean passage for air from the lungs right out the mouth. Keeping this area energetically clean and balanced helps us have clear voices, and aids in getting control over the vocal cords.

5) Preventing Cancer anywhere in the Body

Preventing Cancer can be tricky. Those who have cancer prevention on their minds most are usually those who have fought with cancer once and do not want to go into remission. This can be difficult for a body that has just been bombarded with radiotherapy and chemotherapy as these therapies drastically alter cell health in the body. Herbs and natural foods that promote overall cell vitality - like Maritime Pine Bark help. But how do you specifically send fresh energy to the previously cancer affected area so that that very vital area gets rejuvenated first and foremost? Spikenard does that by its own energy field property of sending energy to energy depleted zones. In fact, it is the only medicine I have ever heard of that does this without causing any side-effects on the way.

This is also a great help for those men and women who have family members who have or have had cancers of the reproductive or endocrine systems (breast cancer, testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, thyroid cancer etc). Any cancer to do with the endocrine system can be prevented only if the hormonal balance is really robust and stable. This delicate task cannot be done by going through tests every few days even, we need something that will every few hours at least send energy doses to exactly those areas where it is needed, automatically. Spikenard does just that, and for this reason is an invaluable component of energy medicine for both cancer recovery and cancer prevention.

6) Healing Bone Injuries, and boosting Bone Health, Joint Health

The energy the body requires to heal bones and keep them functioning and growing normally is not the same energy that is available - for example - in the stomach to digest food. This energy is produced in the body only in the second and third stages of sleep, when the Brain judges the body free of any other demands for the moment.

By promoting energy balance in the body during waking moments, Spikenard promotes energy balance in the sleeping hours. This is because when enough waking-time activities are finished with in the waking time, the body has the time to work on the other areas needing replenishment in the sleep areas. Otherwise these activites overlap each other making us have restless sleep digesting our food while sleeping (which should be done when we are awake) and feeling sleepy, cramped and heavy in the limbs when we are awake (energy is still moving to areas it should be moving to only during deep sleep when we are motionless).

Spikenard balances this energy sharing activity when it is taken regularly for a few months and this means relief from various bone, joint and skeletal system related problems, from osteosarcoma to arthritis (even rheumatoid arthritis) and bone repair.

7) Fighting Antibiotic Resistant Infection (like Golden Staph Infection)

If you have an infection that is not responding to antibiotic treatment, what can you do? The energy field of Spikenard is invaluable here, because it sends energy to the area of infection and because it is not carried by the blood but by the energy meridians in the energy field, it cannot be resisted by the infection carrying cells. The antibiotic resistant infection is trained to disable the body's immune system's access to fresh energy, and kill off the weakened anti-infection cells. But it has no way to stop an energy flow that's not coming in through the blood. Its like a Star Wars battle where one party on the battlefield is being attacked by missiles coming out of the invisible unknown and is therefore not resistable.

If you want to treat yourself or a loved one (human or animal) to Spikenard's amazing energy field healing properties, you can use one or more of the following ways to capture energy fields. The strength of the treatment depends on the purity of your source of Spikenard. I am fortunate to have access to wild spikenard root or flowers from the higher Himalayas by virtue of my location here in the foothills, but I understand the only form of Spikenard available in most places is the Essential Oil of Spikenard. If you buy it from a trustworthy source chances are it will be effective enough for home use.

The first and simplest way to enjoy Spikenard's energy healing properties is to put a drop or two of its essential oil into another carrier oil (olive, walnut, almond and so on) and rub a drop on two on your wrists, between your eyebrows, or on your belly button, twice a day. The scent can be strong inspite of the dilution so the next method is for those who don't want to deal with the scent on a daily basis.

You heat a pan of clean (pure/distilled) water. You need to do this when your kitchen is free of other strong odors or other things beng cooked and releasing substances into the air. When the water comes to a boil, turn the flame down to half and put in two drops of Spikenard's essential oil. (Be sure not to add more than two or three drops. If you accidentally put it more DO NOT subject anyone under the age of 25 to the treatment).

Count to 10 after the drops are in and then hold a plate, spoon or bowl of pure silver over the pan, with tongs. If you don't have an instrument made of silver, try a spoon or bowl of hardened glass. Wooden or metal surfaces transmit their own energies to the vapor and modify the resulting energy field.

The drops of water vapor that settle onto the pure silver (or pure gold/ glass) surface are charged with Spikenard's energy field. Gently pour the drops into a clean bottle that is not made of wood or metal, and that's dark colored (to keep light out). Its ok if you've got just a few drops. Now pour in some more clean water - 10 drops of the charged drops for 100ml of water is an ok dilution level - shut the bottle and kept it away from the sunlight. The fridge is a good option if you live in tropical climate. In the normal section of the refridgerator this mix will keep for 2 or 3 days. You can freeze some of the liquid in the the freezer and melt a cube every two days. In the freezer it will keep for a week or two.

All you need is two drops directly at the back of the mouth, or in any liquid that's not hot, twice a day- preferably around sunrise or sunset.

In this form, Energy Medicine is very gentle, and slow to act. If you want a more potent form of Spikenard's energy field, you'd need to get an experienced energy medicine healer to make it for you using silver or gold electricity or laboratory distillation without diluting the distillate.

In its more potent forms, Spikenard needs to be combined with other energy fields to balance out its effect so that the rush of energy doesn't make the energy field volatile and electrically over-charged. The energies of Juniper, Banyan, and Wheat are among the energy field stabilizers and absorbants that I use for this purpose (depending on the area of the person's birth, age, sex and previous energy field history).
