Hands-On

Personal ONA Session

Now that you have gone through the Workshop One material and given yourself your Initiation, you are ready to perform an ONA session on yourself. You may do this for purposes of healing (to ease a headache, or discomfort from arthritis or skin rashes, for example), for meditation, or even as a very mild stretching exercise.

You are going to give yourself an ONA session. You will start from the head and go toward your feet first. Then you will start at the feet and go toward your head. The first step is the breath. Start with The 12 Systems Breathing Technique. This activates your consciousness and begins your intent of working with the whole of you. The session will include at each position the use of The 12 Systems Breath and saying the sound of Foundation. (If you have not been given this sound, you may do this by intent, or using the sound ONA instead.)

Step through the photos below, copying the position and doing the breath at each position. Pay attention to your experience at each position. You may want to dialogue at each position in the various Fields and Inner Aspects to see what you have created there: for information, a purpose or something you wanted. Expect to hold each position for three minutes. Every part of you wants to communicate. There is no waiting to receive the answer. Ask the question in a different way if you do not receive an answer (or be open to receiving the answer in an unexpected way or at a later time!).
