The energetic counterpart of Ablon deals with bioelectromagnetic healing. This method is applicable to balancing the body’s energy system, which, in turn, may enhance the psychoneuroimmunological system of the patient. Pressure on specific urat (langkok tangan) is applied in order to stimulate the emergence of energetic blocks followed by bio-energetic extraction and balancing.

What to Expect

A no-nonsense approach to healing is adhered, which has excelled in a clinical setting to help speed up the healing process of impediments resulting from, but not limited to:

• Back problems
• Stress
• Repetitive strain injuries (carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, etc.)
• Accidents
• Neck problems
• Headaches
• Nerve disorders  
• Sprains
• Dislocations
• Toxicity
• Sport injuries
• And other conditions

In addition, functional restoration of range of motion, strength, flexibility, endurance, power, and biomechanical functional performance are also increased.

During a session of bioelectromagnetic healing, sensitivity may be felt on the urat. For the majority of patients, this method is reputed to be very powerful, although patient response may vary.

Shortly after a session, clients may feel temporary heaviness or tingling, but in a euphoric state. A dramatic improvement, however, accompanied by an enhanced bioenergetic circulation, can be experienced even after the first session. 

Holistic Awareness

When healing the “whole” person, the following areas are considered:

Physical Level: When an imbalance, injury, or disability takes place, the practitioner of Ablon manipulates the neurovascular and musculoskeletal systems through pulling, stretching, pressure, joint mobilization, and other indigenous therapies in order to promote equilibrium.

Mental Level: During the consultation process, body mechanics may be analyzed to help point out the probable cause and effect of the patient’s condition.

Emotional Level: Emotional tendencies can play a major role on the physical body. Trauma, for example, can be recorded on a cellular level and expressed through physical holding patterns. The experienced healer would facilitate the release of these patterns and associated emotions through the application of Ablon to corresponding urat.

Spiritual Level: The ancient healers realized that at least 80-90% of illnesses were spiritual in nature, while the remaining 10-20% as physical. Supporting this belief is the saying, “Where the mind goes, the body follows.” It is therefore important to realize that peace, harmony, and humility should be attained as a way of creating a healthy environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Ablon characterized as?

A: There are different components to Ablon. In describing the healing modality, Ablon is characterized by the application of structural therapeutics; neurovascular and muscluloskeletal stimulation and manipulation; and bioelectromagnetic healing.

Similar to the sciences of Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, and methods of Osteopathy, Ablon is a hands-on modality. It may resemble massage in some cases, but like these other modalities, Ablon is not a massage. Massage (aprus, pekpekkel), rather, is a “sub-category” of Ablon.

Q: Is Ablon painful?

A: Pain is a messenger of imbalances in the body and mind. It is a reflection of what has manifested on a physical level, whether its roots are due to genetics, injuries, or on a mental and emotional level. It is therefore important to be in touch with any noticeable pain.

One of the characteristics of Ablon is “innervation” which, according to Taber’s Medical Dictionary, is the “stimulation of a part through the action of nerves.” Pressure on the nerves can be naturally sensitive. When systematically applied, however, this sensitivity acts as an ally with the rewards of long-term pain relief following the session.

Q: Is there anything I need to do during the session?

A: Yes. It is best to relax and let go. During moments of sensitivity, deep and slow breathing is helpful in releasing tension, while holding the breath and tightening the body may result in pain and fatigue, and the inability of the body to assimilate the healing response.

Unlike the Western concept of avoiding any pain during the healing session, I uphold the belief of having the recipient experience any pain associated with the site of concern, at the same time, experiencing the healing response. By doing so, the recipient will also become more in tune with the body. It is, therefore, important to express your sensitivity through your breathing. This will give me an awareness of your response to what is being done in order to make any necessary adjustments during the session.

Q: Will I feel sore afterwards?

A: The majority of clients feel very relaxed after the session. Through my experience, however, I discovered that those who are high-stressed and resist going with the flow, perhaps due to chronic holding patterns, are those who sometimes experience soreness the following day. Nevertheless, this soreness is natural and part of the healing response.

Q: Is there anything I need to do after the session?

A: Rest if possible so that your body can adjust to the physiological changes. It is a practice to avoid temperature extremes after receiving Ablon, otherwise pasma may set in as understood in traditional Filipino medicine. In Humoral Pathology, pasma is caused by internal shock to the system. This can be in the form of taking a hot or cold shower, drinking cold liquids, or exposure to wind.

Traditionally, general guidelines include taking a shower either before the session or the following day; avoiding cold drinks; and sufficiently covering the body to prevent exposure to draft. An increase in water intake will help hydrate, flush, and balance the body.

Q: When should I schedule my next appointment?

A: Ideally, it is more effective if sessions are “over-lapped.” What this means is that the gap between the sessions are kept close together so that the healing response has a continuous flow, as opposed to spreading them far apart, which may allow the condition to revert to its imbalanced state.

Q: Is Ablon right for me?

A: Only after discussing each case am I able to assess if the individual can benefit from Ablon. Although I have successfully dealt with many different cases, especially those of a neurovascular or musculoskeletal nature, I do not treat specific conditions and I strongly urge the individual to consult with a medical professional if needed.

At times, I may feel a “specialist” would be more appropriate to handle certain cases such as chronic diseases. Through my network of associates, I can refer you to one if you request.

Testimonials

"I had been experiencing pain in my neck, shoulders, and lower back for some time. My body pain was from various past auto accidents as well as what I refer to as 'emotional body locks'; a result of the body storing emotional memory and/or stress in certain parts of the body, thus leading to pain over a prolonged period of time.
    When a dear friend introduced me to Virgil, I was explained the multiple benefits of the Ablon technique he uses, and I was immediately open to try the work. 
    Virgil worked on the areas of my body mentioned, using both a hands on approach, as well an energetic approach. The treatment was incredibly deep, but non invasive nor was it too painful. The slow and methodical movements he used to manipulate some of my limbs, allowed, my mind to signal to my body that the work being done was working in harmony towards the direction my body wanted to release. As my body began physically releasing the areas that had been blocked, Virgil then began to work on releasing deeper layers through the subtle movement of blocked energy. 
    Towards the end of my treatment, I started to feel a deep release and a vibration resonating from my inner self. The vibration was a result of my body having been restored in such a way that I was receiving energy back that had been deficient. 
    The following day, I tried my “new” neck, shoulders, and lower back in my vigorous yoga practice. The results were astonishing. I experienced no lower back pain and though my neck was a little tight, the amount of freedom I experienced was the most I had been able to have in years. My shoulders were also considerably more open. 
    Today, after a few weeks after my treatment with Virgil, I continue to be free of lower back pain and the movement in my neck and shoulders continues to get freer. 
    The gift(s) that Virgil has been blessed with are a true testament to the commitment and true value he brings to his work in helping people heal. I am one of them."

“I spent some time in California in May 1997. During my stay, I had the pleasure of receiving treatments from Virgil J. Mayor Apostol. The treatments he gave were exceptionally good. He demonstrated excellent skills, the most thorough I ever had. During my first treatment with Virgil, I noticed his very special, delightful hands, where he seems to emit a healing energy, so that every treatment gave great pleasure, well-being, and peace of mind.”

“. . . I happened to mention to Virgil that I had gone to a neurologist who stated that I had the beginnings of carpal tunnel. I also mentioned that I was having severe tingling down my right hand which was extremely painful. Virgil proceeded to work on my hand, shoulder, and neck for about 20 minutes. I tell you, the results were immediate. The pain to this day has totally gone from my wrist with absolutely no more tingling whatsoever. 
    On another occasion, I had the worst attack of colitis I have ever experienced in my life. I had to take two Donnatol a day just to survive the pain. Virgil started to work on my feet and back, and within one hour the pain was gone. I could not believe it!”

“A few years ago I stepped in a gopher hole and twisted my ankle. I ignored it but it got my attention recently. The ankle and foot began hurting so much that I was unable to walk or just barely. Nothing took the pain or problem away and I tried many things.
    Virgil has gotten me back to walking again and the ankle and foot are much better. He is also working on old problems in my back and neck and I am getting relief there, too. I always feel better after I see him and for some reason my blood pressure is more stable, also. My advice? Go see him.”

“We’ve tried Chinese massage in Beijing, China, and Thai massage in Bangkok, Thailand. Both countries are famous for body massage. Virgil’s is still the top BEST. Try him or prove us wrong.”

“Being a Naturalist and an Herbalist, I am seldom healed by medicine if I get sick. I was sick of a high, off and on fever for four days and was forced to take medication which had no effect. Instead, I lost hope because I felt that I was getting weak mentally and physically. I prayed earnestly that God would send his holy angels that very day. . . Praise the Lord that Mr. Apostol responded which, until now, I am thoroughly healed. His hands have a healing power from God which healed me immediately just after a few hours. I thank him so much that until now, I am enjoying good health and a sound mind.”

“I have felt a tremendous relief after the session with regard to the entity that was attached to me. The fear of lacking I was experiencing daily has seized and the confusion in my thoughts has stopped. I have started to feel like I should move my legs more, whether by walking longer or exercising at home. It feels like I should create movement in that part of the body that I usually want to ignore and judged as ugly.  
    I am so very grateful for the work you have done for me. Your technique is so unique and powerful that I feel strong about recommending you.”

“I am deeply grateful for your healing and my neck is so much better. I can feel the difference and I felt my body going through a healing process beyond the three dimensional.”

“The first thing I noticed when I met Virgil is how intently he was listening when I was telling him about my health concerns. That in itself was a pleasant experience. Once Virgil had a clear vision of what was troubling me he started to apply pressure to various spots on my body. The pressure he applied on one specific spot in the upper part of my body released blocked emotions. It was very healing to me and it was exactly what I needed at the time. I’m looking forward to another session in the near future!” 

                                            Tania S. – Los Angeles

“I met Virgil in February of 2005, thanks to the recommendation of an old friend. She informed me that a healer had been invited to spend three days in Warwick, NY, with a group of local counselors and healers that had sought him out.
    I have coronary and carotid blockage problems that were identified and surgically treated in 2004. A brush with my mortality scared and confused me, but it also awakened a dormant spiritual energy that has prioritized the importance of a search for meaning. 
    If you have any inclination to explore the healing potential of personal energy alignment and spiritual vibration, I offer personal testimony that my meetings with Virgil have led me to an energy source that has forever changed the way I look at things. My spiritual quest is now an adventure . . . it is really cool.”

“The session was great. It released me of neck, upper back pain, and the headaches I was having. When I went to the Reiki gathering later that night, I did not feel energy like I normally do when working on people, but everyone I worked on said they felt extreme heat from my hands on the areas I was working on.” 

                                            Dori G. – New Jersey

“Virgil Apostol has been given a gift... that of a healer. Furthermore, he uses his gift with grace and humility.
    I went to see Virgil in a desperate state as I was suffering with continuous pain in my shoulder blade. I went to Virgil because I trusted him and knew he could help me as well as support me in healing myself. Virgil’s amazing touch immediately helped relieve my physical pain. His work also brought on an unexpected emotional release, which I attribute to his loving intentions and the safe space he created.
    Virgil’s work goes deeper than healing the physical body. His intentions are pure and full of Spirit. I have tremendous respect for his work. 
    I am grateful and blessed. Virgil is a true healer.”
