"It should be only your own magnetic energies that are used." These words of wisdom echo continually through my mind; they were foretold by a friend, a public health nurse. Although she died some years ago the truth of her words lived on and proved to be factual; they left an impact which helped lead to the discovery that we have the ability to channel into our Vivaxis.

Marg and her family had a summer place near us and she became very interested in my initial discoveries. One summer she arrived suffering considerable pain in her back due to cancer of the spine. The pain had been very severe and her doctor had operated hoping to relieve the agony; at the time of the operation he predicted she had only three months to live.

At that time our experience with energy waves was elementary but from experiments with ice, in various sized round containers and with water Vivaxes, I had discovered the atomic particles of ice and running water are flexible and have the ability to align as a unit to the magnetic field existing in their immediate environment. Thus, if ice is taken from one place to another, its particles quickly change alignment under the influence of the magnetic fields characteristic of the respective locations.

I found the most practical and efficient sized container for the ice is one of two gallons where the contents can be frozen into a solid round block. My husband, Dick, was the first guinea pig! As a result of an injury, he had been plagued with chronic pain in the upper part of his back for some twenty-five years. Vertical travelling waves spiral upwards from the centre point of the solid ice and I was able to effectively transfer them by holding my left index finger over the centre of the ice container and my right index finger over the injury on my husband's back. For a few days the swelling receded and ache disappeared but inevitably the trouble would return. Tests showed I was introducing energies that produced an alignment, but one that was foreign and eventually rejected by his own predominant field.

In our observations of other types of magnetic and contact healing a realignment to a foreign field can very often be detected. In some instances one or more brain receptors have taken a permanent alignment differing from that of their own Vivaxes; instead of one Vivaxis these people have two or more. Sometimes this is justified, especially where people were critically ill and recovered as a result of realignment. In many of these cases, however, personality changes and unpredictable behaviour are side effects that appear to have a direct association with the conflict of alignment in the brain receptors. Foreign fields introduced by treatment with powerful magnets also tend to build static potentials that are cumulative and lead in many cases to serious nervous tensions. Similar adverse effects have been observed in children who play with strong magnets, for example, magnets sold as scientific instruments and capable of lifting forty pounds. The strength of these magnets, unfortunately, makes them also capable of interacting with the child's atomic arrangement.

Returning to our story of Marg, it was heartbreaking to witness her suffering and we discussed how the magnetic waves transferred from the ice temporarily helped Dick. Marg experimented and found it also gave her relief but only for short periods, three to four hours at a time. She analysed the problem and reached the conclusion that, "It should be only your own magnetic energies that are used." At the time we discussed the possibility of returning to our Vivaxis, the exact magnetic field to which our energies were aligned, but the chances of locating the precise point appeared too remote to consider seriously. Marg's life slowly slipped from her as the doctor had predicted.

Her interest in my research had devoleped a strong bond between us and the news of her death sparked an urge to search further. Marg had requested to be buried in a cemetery on our small island; my husband and another friend dug the grave. Her family, who had travelled from distant parts of Canada, came to our home after the funeral and it was there her husband and daughter further fanned the incentive to probe deeper as they spoke of Marg's strong conviction of the importance and reality of my findings. I realized it was a key capable of unlocking many universal secrets and Marg helped to spark the necessary desire that gave me the power to use that key.

The words, "It should be only your own magnetic energies that are used," were firmly imprinted on my mind. The morning after the funeral I awoke about four, with an irresistable urge to experiment and investigate the possibility of locating a channel leading to what we now term our "Vivaxis".

My initial experiments that early morning were conducted with two swivel chains held between the thumb and forefinger of either hand. I had previously learned the necessity of holding my spine erect and feet apart in order to record energies and, in addition, I took the precaution of holding my head level while testing with the two chains.

Observing the results, I noted the chain in my right hand circulated while the one in the left remained stationary. I turned a few degrees into a new position, paused and noticed that the chains had described the same motion. I continued to repeat the manoeuvre, moving a few degrees each time. About the fourth occasion after I paused both chains suddenly started to swing back and forth in an alternating motion keeping in perfect phase as if obedient to some natural law, as indeed they were. With a compass I checked the direction in which the chains were swinging and found it pointed towards Vancouver, my birthplace, or as we later termed it, my "Vivaxis"; I marked the bearing of this line. I tested when faced at right angles to the marked line; the chains immediately swung in unison back and forth in contrast to the alternating motion. I faced with my back to Vancouver and the chains reacted in the same manner as when I faced the original direction.

I carried out further tests by facing towards my Vivaxis and tilting my head slightly from the level position; the alternating motion of the two chains promptly changed and the one in the left hand came to a stop while the right one circulated. I tried twisting my spine and found that both chains lost their motion. These were important lessons in wave behaviour and stressed -the importance of keeping the head level and spine erect while testing.

This was my first giant step towards the realization that we could utilize and control our waves through channelling. The permanent cure to my husband's injury was subsequently found through realignment by "specific channelling" with his own magnetic waves. These methods will be detailed later in the book; prior to this discussion we will recount the techniques of channelling in the next chapter.
