The "Recapitulation" technique
At this time, I will state that I am not a professional and may not be held liable for any negative effects that may occur from having performed this practice. Here are some general effects:
It may allow forgotten memories to resurface.
It may help to remove "build-up" of habitualized energy & thought patterns which have been enforced by wrongful and/or toxic past impressions.
It may reduce the onset of certain varieties of aging.
If you desire any further degree of explanation, please contact me and I will be happy to provide it. >>----------------------------------------------------------< After some span of time, negatively-impacting memories and/or associations begin to fill up a "space" in our consciousness. This space is directly linked to the "Akasha" (Sanskrit) or "collective unconscious," but on a more individualized and also limited level. Every ingrained association, especially the traumatic, become attached to this personal space of "free" energy we possess. Once an association of previous disturbance gets "logged in," as it were, it stands in the way of a free flow of information between the conscious and non-conscious parts of our mind. Like an onion peel, these moments of memory may begin as a small percentage of our overall “energy.” Then, other related moments get wrapped up with them. This arrangement is part of why, as we get older, we begin to age more quickly. Our consciousness usually has direct effects and influences upon our bodies. In performing the technique, one is freeing this limited space from attachment to certain negative associations. Any time a “bad” memory enters into your consciousness (often, many times), seemingly out of nowhere, a possibility to address it is presented. The way I think most appropriate and intrinsically natural to do this is with the recapitulation technique. Generally, there are two ways in which to engage the technique. One is to make a long list of all the negative memories one is able to remember. The second is to simply wait for a bad memory to return. Once a memory is present, allow it to "live" in your consciousness for a few moments. Turn your head to the right. Breathing in, turn your head more slowly to the left. As you are breathing in, you are seeking to pull the energy of the memory back to you. Then, slowly turn your head back to the right, allowing your attachment to this memory (to God, the Void, etc.) to be released. This "pass" should be done as many times as feels necessary in order to feel it has been successfully accomplished. I usually need five or six passes to feel that almost nothing is left, but everyone may be different. After the passes are complete, your head will again be facing to the right. Without breathing, turn your head (either slowly or quickly) once more to the left, then back to the right, then back to center. This final, breathless pass closes the ritual. It is important not to exclude it. In a little while, other forgotten memories will begin to surface. Assuming that they are "negative," deal with them in the same way. After that (or, perhaps more quickly), older memories may also begin to appear. These are often non-traumatic, good or neutral memories. You may not know how you'd forgotten about them, but they may suddenly “appear.” By this point, your life will already have begun to change.
