Body work therapies

Back in the day, my mom's church friends would say "Oh she needs some laying of the hands." I have always thought that to mean, someone was about to get a serious spanking or how it is said today... THE BEAT DOWN. However I have learned that saying to mean a non-invasive hands on healing. Although some would also consider a serious spanking, a laying of the hands, a healing. O_o

The mind, body and spirit can hold negative energy that would often times cause dis-ease and illness. There are many methods used to release that energy through body work therapies such as "laying of the hands."

I had been studying energy work for awhile before I even had a session on me done. A colleague of mine was starting her healing practice and had just finished her training in this hands on healing modality called Reiki, pronounced RAY-KEY. I was all for supporting her in this journey so I signed up. I had no idea what I was in store for.

I laid on this massage table (fully clothed) but covered with a light sheet or blanket. I was to lye relaxed. My eyes closed was my choice. I had them closed but every now and again, I opened them to see what she was doing. Candles were lit, and very soft meditative music played in the background. As she hovered her hands over my body from head to toe, she identified the areas of negative energy that she was sensing. She was surprisingly accurate. I could feel the energy from her hands as she moved up and down my body without even touching me. I was impressed. Where do I sign up. (if you have been reading my blogs, by now you know that I almost always sign up for a class after I have had a particular experienced it myself.)

What is REIKI? - "Reiki is a Japanese word meaning universal life force. It is a method of hands-on healing that taps into the energy referred to as KI in Japan, CHI in China and Prana in India. Reiki is not a massage or a tool for diagnosing illness." From experience I can tell you the effects from Reiki can sometimes be subtle, and I have experienced the effects of a session where the change was NOT so subtle. It is possible that you can experience a variety of emotions during a session. Reiki can alleviate stress, chronic and acute conditions and can work in conjunction with any medical procedure and medicine without interference.

In addition to the other hands on healing modalities that I had been studying, I managed to get certified as a master in Usui and Karuna Reiki. Body work therapies have changed my life, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. I know that it could change yours.
