Organic Sodium: Nature’s Fountain of Youth

According to…Mikio Sankey in Support the Mountain, “People diagnosed with arthritis, or those with stiffness and pain in the joints, need organic sodium, but not table salt” (151). Table salt is the familiar Sodium Chloride (NaCl). Chemically speaking, organic sodium simply is sodium (Na). Organic sodium is important for the life of cells and the lymphatic system, the gastrointestinal tract, and the joints of the body (150,153). In fact, when organic sodium is not being ingested in sufficient amounts, health issues can arise, for there isn’t enough “organic sodium in solution in the blood to prevent the body from leeching calcium out of the bones. The first place the blood will usually start to leech calcium from the body is from the jawbones” (152). The next target is usually the spine, and then the joints (152). Sankey writes, “If the blood is still trying to balance its pH level by needing to leech more calcium, then eventually that person will develop arthritis or bone problems such as osteoarthritis or osteoporosis” (152). How many health care practitioners advise ingesting organic sodium as prevention and remedy to health problems?

Organic Sodium has to be, as Sankey says, “very refined and is found in organic greens, celery and carrots” (150). So, when your doctor says for you to ingest no salt, it most likely is not organic sodium to which he or she is referring, for it is difficult to have youth, vitality, and life without organic sodium, nature’s fountain of youth.

“Organic sodium is an alkaline biochemical mineral,” writes Sankey (151). Sufficient amounts are needed in order for the blood to “retain a healthy alkaline pH level,” and the unused sodium can be stored in the stomach (151,149). In bodily secretions, sodium is in greater quantities compared to organic potassium which is greater within a cell’s wall (150). If you don’t ingest organic sodium and leave your body deprived, then health issues will surely await you. As Sankey writes, “All cases of arthritis indicate a lack of organic sodium in the body” (151). Pain and stiffness in the joints, a “lack of openness in life,” and “not being willing to view all options in front of you” are easily prevented with the regular ingestion of organic sodium (151).

As most people age, rigidity in the body may become noticeable. What about the stubborn, rigid thinking? Sankey states that, “flexibility is also associated with the mind and how expansive and receptive we are to new or different views and ideas of life” (150). Organic sodium allows for “expansiveness of thought” as well as physical flexibility, thus truly assisting people with feeling and appearing younger (150). After all, Sankey says, “Flexibility is associated with youth and youthful spirit” (150).

Organic sodium is not the only sodium the body requires, in Sankey’s opinion. He says, “I personally feel that the physical body needs small quantities of high quality salts for optimum health. The blood and most of the fluids in the body contain some level of salt” (152). Sankey is not referring to commercial salts and sea salts purchased in the average store (152-3). He says, “Commercial salts are devoid of any beneficial minerals or trace minerals. Commercial salts are bleached, excessively heated to a very high temperature, and have very little nutritional value except for tasting salty” (153). Many people are under the impression that regular, white, sea salt is beneficial. However, sea salt lacks the important trace minerals and electrolytes of the higher quality salts such as the gray Celtic or the pink Himalayan salts (153). Moreover, commercial salts “can be detrimental to the human body when taken in excessive amounts” and also contain additives to make the salt flow from the shaker (152-3). If the salt you use attracts moisture and becomes clumpy when left uncovered, that’s a good sign that you most likely are using a high quality salt.

Celtic or Himalayan are two high quality salts. When cooking with either of these salts, do not add the salt until the food has been removed from the heat. Sprinkle it on just before serving, because heating high quality salts will destroy many of the valuable trace minerals (153). Avoiding excess heat also goes for the organic sodium found in your fruits and vegetables. As Sankey says, “Raw foods have more life force and have enzymatic activity” (154). While consuming fresh and raw foods ensure that more of its natural, important qualities, like organic sodium, are still potent, slightly steaming vegetables is alright. Sankey says, “To obtain organic sodium through your foods, eat organic, slightly steamed or raw okra and especially freshly squeezed organic celery juice” (151). He goes on to warn, “Most of the store bought fruits are picked immaturely, so they will be lacking in the quality and quantity of organic sodium needed” (151). An apple or apricot tree, a carrot garden, and a strawberry patch, are all ideas for your backyard, so you can enjoy organic sodium in freshly picked foods.

Don’t fool yourself. You can ingest an excess amount of table salt and salt within processed, packaged foods and still be deficient in organic sodium. Fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, or “fast food” and medically prescribed drugs, the choice is yours. The outcome is yours. What you ingest today will decide if nature’s fountain of youth is with you tomorrow, or not.

Esoteric Acupuncture Revisited

According to Mikio Sankey, acupuncturists might have better results with their clients if they looked for the qi emanating from the person’s true acupoint rather than merely looking at a book’s generic definition of where the point should be located on everyone’s body.



How may an acupuncturist see, feel, or simply know where the center of a specific acupoint is appearing on any given client on any given day? When a practitioner follows the same guidelines they present to their clients for living well, the acupuncturists will refine their own Qi (energy) and thus work toward intuiting the location of points. The guidelines given and followed are to receive acupuncture in conjunction with eating foods and beverages that promote life. This means avoiding the chemicals frequently found in beverages, food and drugs. According to Sankey, even a sip of alcohol sends its energy from the practitioner through the needle to the client. Under normal circumstances this may not present a problem. If the client is a recovering alcoholic, however, the practitioner needs to be aware of the state of his or her own Qi and what he or she is bringing energetically to the treatment room. Meditating and/or doing Inner Plane work as well as performing Esoteric Acupuncture on clients will contribute to increasing the practitioner’s awareness, intuition, and ability to see or feel subtle qi.

Here is a surprising fact. The client’s Intention for the outcome they wish to receive from the treatment can actually effect where acupoints will show up at that time on his or her body. Of course a hand point will always be in a similar area on the body. It would not suddenly be accessed on the foot. However, astute acupuncturists will notice that from person to person particular acupoints are not consistently found in exactly the same spot, nor even on one person from treatment to treatment. Even with these adjustments, the acupoints will always be in the proximity of the book’s definition; however, several factors influence whether a treatment has offered all that was expected. Did the client and practitioner have the same Intent, or any Intent at all? Is the practitioner able to sense the point’s location? Some people prefer a practitioner who is aware that they are in process and working toward the same wellness and high awareness goals as their clients. Other clients hold any doctor in high regard simply for holding a license and the clients are unconcerned with the practitioner’s state of health and state of mind. A client’s decision s about their practitioner’s standards will also contribute to the treatment.


The Chakras, spinning energy vortices, are located in a person’s Astral/Emotional Body, which is outside the Defensive/Protective Qi area of their physical body. Incarnating humans consist of five bodies: the dense physical body and the four subtle/finer frequency bodies, which Sankey says are “actually distinct vibrational fields extending outward from the dense physical body.” Each body is named for the plane on which it resides. The physical body resides in the physical plane, for example, yet each body is contained within all the bodies that precede them. The subtle bodies from most dense to most fine are the Etheric, the one that houses the acupuncture meridians; the Astral, the one with which traveling and work may be accomplished away from the physical level while still incarnating; the Mental/Casual, the Mental acts as a filter for incoming information and the Casual is a higher level of the Mental body; and the Spiritual, which is actually separated into the Buddhic, Atmic, Monadic, and Logoic. Energies come from the Mental plane through the Chakras in the Astral body to the physical body. Imbalanced Chakras may pull in greater energies from our other subtle bodies and planes of existence. Due to being laden with charged emotional energy, the frequency now working within the Chakras may be lower, and the spinning may go in the opposite direction for health. (Clockwise is a healthy rotation for those in the Northern Hemisphere. Counter-clockwise is healthy for those in the Southern Hemisphere). Chakras must be clear, open, and activated prior to working consciously with kundalini energy.

Sankey writes, “Kundalini refers to an electromagnetic energy field of consciousness” that is stored at the base of the spine. It slowly rises up the etheric spine over the course of someone’s life, unless he or she, along with their Inner Plane work and meditation, is working with it purposely. In Sanskrit, kundal does mean coil; however, kunda can mean pit, as in the cranium. Sankey points out that “the dissection of the human brain reveals that it resembles a snake coiled upon itself.” Westerners can think it all hog wash, but it is a good idea to research and understand the effect of kundilini, diet, and the power of unexpressed emotions because in ignorance one risks the rising energy getting stuck, usually around the third and fourth Chakras in middle age. It is common to know someone who died of a heart attack around forty years of age.


When people are out of balance, they might like to find their center, which actually rises with their changes toward health and along with increased understanding of their subtle bodies. Esoteric Acupuncture can assist a person with this endeavor through Sacred Geometry, among other disciplines. Humans are not flat. When Sacred Geometry is Intended through using Esoteric Acupuncture patterns, energy folds, flops, and twists, affecting a person much like a combination lock that first turns to the right, and then to the left. With each “click,” a person’s consciousness is closer to “opening.” Building the Antahkarana, Rainbow Bridge, is assisted with this work. Building the Antahkarana is building the center. The concept of the six surrounding the one is made manifest with needles, or oils and crystals, for the non-acupuncture treatment. Bridges, or connections, between the sixth and seventh Chakras, that some meditators have long been aiming to establish, may occur now. Knowledge may come to those receiving regular Esoteric Acupuncture treatments without reading or hearing the information. For others, simply being able to understand a once hard book may be the noticeable outcome. Full Sensory abilities may first show up with peripheral clairvoyance, seeing into other dimensions out of the corner of the eye. Other benefits may include calmer, more balanced relationships and accompanying improved physical health.

When a client visualizes the acupoints connecting to each other, picturing golden light making triangular shapes, and consciously moves energy in figure eights, the client becomes a living Yantra. A Yantra in Sanskrit is a tool that can be used during meditation in order to express otherworldly ideas, something that can perceive and receive. Yantras sometimes look like beautiful designs in the shape of a circle. Another example of a perceiver/receiver is the human body. Esoteric Acupuncture is a tool for assisting with an awakening through the Yantra of the human body. Esoteric Acupuncture is a tool making a spiritual “download” possible.

Esoteric Acupuncture can guide a person on a journey to understanding finally that the ancient Hindu belief that we are all connected to everything is true. When someone makes the decision to refine their Qi (energy), it is as if a veil has been removed and the whole world opens up for them. With the New Encoding patterns, needles are placed in and are also later removed from acupoints in an exact order. This sequence acts very much like a combination lock. The client does more than simply relax on a massage table with the needles in place, they experience what NASA refers to as “spin field.” Esoteric Acupuncture can assist a person with their Intent to build minor energetic bridges within their head centers in order to eventually sustain a bigger bridge, the Antahkarana, the Rainbow Bridge. Energy will not go to the Crown Chakra, it will jump if something, like the Rainbow Bridge, is not set up in advance. Needling one point and having it travel to another not within its meridian system is possible with Esoteric Acupuncture.

Esoteric Acupuncture works on multiple levels: physical, etheric, astral, mental/casual, and spiritual in order to support a client in preventing illness, maintaining health, and experiencing wellness on previously unknown levels.
