What is IST?

Inner Space Techniques

IST is Inner Space Techniques, a set of healing techniques based on the inner space of meditation. IST happens in the inner space, an internalised space of consciousness akin to the space of meditation.

The inner space is a tangible, peaceful, and accessible state in which awareness is turned away from the outer world and the senses, and towards the inner worlds. Some of the IST techniques are highly specialised and technical, working at subtle levels of life force in a similar way to acupuncture. Deep rearrangements of energy can take place in IST.

Although IST is similar to the space of meditation, it has different purposes and results.

When you meditate all sorts of things come to the surface: thoughts, memories, emotions, fidgets, discomforts, desires, and great ideas. And if you are meditating you let them come, let them go. But when things come up in IST, you welcome them, let them come. Because that is how you get to the bottom of them, by seeing where and how they got there.

What kind of things do you find?

Samskaras

Beneath the surface of your mind, buried deeply or sometimes not so deeply, lie samskaras; emotional imprints. They create all sorts of conditioning of your state of mind, your attitudes and your behaviour.

IST works with those negative imprints and resolves them at their source. The problem is not ‘solved’ exactly, rather it disappears because the cause is no longer active.

Experiences of inner childhood and even past lives are not uncommon, however the essence and purpose of IST remains firmly in the present. If you revisit the past it’s to sort out the present, not to go sightseeing into ancient history.

Clearing and Healing

A number of health disorders come from blockages at the energetic and emotional levels. When this is the case, what is needed is a shift in the subtle levels of your life force. This has a deep and lasting effect, more than addressing only the emotional or physical symptoms. It’s not unusual for such energetic healing to happen during IST.

IST can therefore work well with therapies such as homeopathy or acupuncture, to address those physical symptoms that have causes at more subtle levels.
