This is a discussion of Congs, Bis and Tauros as shamanic
healing tools.
A Cong is
a square stone (typically) with an open
circle in the center, often intricately carved with the four directions, faces
. One opening is usually slightly larger than the other. Often there is a face
and the mouth side is usually the wider side.
It is a portal, a Shamanic tool. These tools were used by the Shamans
of the ancient Chinese Liangzhu Neolithic peoples (3300 - 2200BC).
Many congs
are made of Jade. Jade is soft enough to carve. But congs can be made of soapstone or other
soft carving stone. I have one from South Africa that is made of quartz
crystal. Soon I’ll start carving
soapstone and catlinite (pipestone) congs.
Jade was
once worked with a hard abrasive sand to carve each detail, so a Cong was
time-consuming to carve. Now-a-days we have modern drilling and stone cutting
machinery that make these much easier and faster to carve
The Chinese
regarded jade as imbuing one with the attributes of wisdom, beauty, grace,
justice, loyalty, sincerity, chastity, truth and purity.
Congs were used by Shamans to work
with the energies between the Cosmos (heaven) and Earth. It can be used as a
calendar. A cong was carried by the Shaman to clean and purify the Chi energy
in any given space. It was also used as
an offering to ancestors.
They could be used as a calendar, or
in a Shamanic ceremony. The big Cong below has twelve faces (one for
each moon). The 13th moon is accounted for by the circle in the center.
Energetic tool uses. First raise your own vibration and set your
intent:
· Hold the Cong
between your hands.
· Align the opening
from your feet to your crown.
· Close your eyes.
· See a white beam of
light rushing up and down the opening.
· Let that beam of
light widen until you are completely surrounded with light.
· Breathe it in. Breathe it out.
To cleanse a room:
· Place the cong in
the room with the the energy moving upwards (bigger opening facing upwards).
·
Optionally, place a clear quartz on top of the cong to amplify the
energy.
To cleanse someone's aura of stuck
energy:
· Set your intent.
· Place the cong to
your mouth, with the bigger opening facing outwards.
· Blow front &
back at crown, heart, solar plexus and root.
For healing purposes, run 11-11-G
attunement. <insert picture>
· focus the energy up
and down throughout the body,
·
cleanse each level, from the Cosmic to the Molecular
BI stones
Similar to the Cong are Bi rings,
which are more flat, wide and round. Bi rings were used to help the souls of
the dead move into a higher realm by protecting their bodies. The bi rings were
placed on the bodies so evil spirits would not inhabit the deceased.
Bi rings are still worn today as
objects of protection. Obviously the longer you wear an object the more of your
energy it will carry. If a bi ring breaks while you are wearing it, it is said
that the stone has given its life for you (it saves you by absorbing the
negativity).
Big Jade, 6-row Harmonics BI. Vortex - rub dots counter-clockwise,
ring bells send thru harmonics (in)/dragons (out); to send/release
Side with dots: harmonics, 6 rows of 3 wide in 4 directions
is vortex;
dragons on opposite side provide protection; used as “feet” and for “doming”
Male side has dragons; female side has dots.
Little Jade Bi – massage tool
3 dragon heads on each side; vortex different on each side; has orange, yellow,
pink and green jade, with black
stripe(s)
1 black stripe, male, cool energy, steady spray
2 black strips, female, warm, surrounding waves
Balanced use:
Use right hand (male side) w/2-stripe down (female energy)
Use left hand (female side) w/1 stripe down (male energy)
Tauros
A Tauro is both a grounding tool and an ascension tool. It looks like a donut.
The energy flows:
in through the hole in the donut, out the other side,
down and around, up, around and down.
As a grounding tool, and for daily living, bring the energy upwards from the ground.
As an ascension tool, bring the energy from the Cosmos, downwards into the luminous body.
When there is heavy iron content, such as with a meteorite, a tauro can be focused to generate energy into the Earth. Volcanic rock, Tektites, or Andesite, with
air pockets, tend to generate energy upwards or outwards.
Orient your tauro, discovering which way the energy flows. Paint Coca leaves on the side, directing the energy out. Incoming figure eights are painted on the other, directing
the energy inwards.
When this energy is focused, it can be used to bring in energies of the Cosmos or send out specific energies.
