Connecting to the Presence
The practice I have developed over the last 15 years, uses a combination of techniques that synergistically bring people into a state of deep relaxation and peace where the Presence is waiting to nourish body, mind, and spirit.
“The Bowls”
Vibrational Sound Therapy uses Himalayan singing bowls which are placed on the body and are gently rung like a bell causing vibrations which are heard and felt. The sound from the bowls helps to calm our noisy thoughts and soothes our mind into a deep meditative state. While the vibrations that we feel helps to relax our muscles and release tension that is stored in our bodies.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
It is within this state of peace and stillness that we can encounter the Presence. It is nice to just rest in this space when we feel worn out by “life”, or by our worrying mind and endless thoughts. As we spend time in this place, we can internalize this peaceful feeling, and with practice we can learn to experience the peace and stillness of the Presence anywhere and anytime we need. And the more we make peace our intention in our daily lives, the more we ourselves and our lives become peaceful.
“Experiencing a Deeper Healing”
When our bodies are in pain, or we don’t feel “well”, it can occupy much of our thoughts and impact our daily lives, and keep us from being in peace. The combination of massage and “energy work” nourishes our body (and our mind and spirit) and brings health and well-being back to our lives.
At our most basic being we are energy, and our energy flows through us along pathways throughout the body. In both traditional Chinese and Indian medicine this energy is recognized and is called qi (pronounced chee), or prana (concepts similar to qi can be found in many cultures) and it flows through channels in the body called meridians, or nadis. Our energy can be blocked or depleted along these pathways, which effects our overall health and well-being. Massage along these pathways, and acupressure to specific points on the pathways, can release these restrictions in the body, so that our energy flows smoothly.
Not only can we correct our energy flow, but we can also receive pure healing energy from the Presence. This type of “energy work” is done by gently placing my hands on, or holding them near, the client’s body, and focusing my intention on being a “conduit” between the Presence and the client. The healing energy then flows through me to the client, and is used for their highest good.
