LANDSCAPE OF
THERAPEUTIC TOUCH
Picture this. I am standing quietly with my eyes closed
holding the palms of my hands a few inches apart. I am aware of the rhythm of my
breathing. Consciously I deepen my in-breath,
breathing in the sturdy strength of the tree image I pretend to be, with roots
reaching down into the earth. And, on
the out breath, releasing into the earth all that I do not need in the
moment. Relaxing and letting go.
The sound of my
breathing comforts me. I feel the soft
breeze of my breath on my skin beneath my nostrils. I feel the space within my body expand as my
breath fills me. I feel whole and at
peace. Connected. My thoughts have all but vanished. Man made clock time is transcended. I am in the moment.
The space between my
palms feels like a beach ball of energy.
Grounded and centered, I am ready to reach out and explore the realms of
the energy field I have been invited to explore.
I open my eyes and
raise my hands to scan a few inches above my client’s physical body noticing
differences, little speed bumps that I will come back to. I use my thought mind, imagining the person
being grounded to the earth as I hold their feet. Again, I slowly gently rhythmically wave my
hands above their body. This time my thought
is of unruffling, smoothing out the speed bumps. This energy dance of offering the healing
universal energy that surrounds us continues, my hands drawn to where they are
needed.
Scanning again, my
hands glide through the energy field checking the flow. All the while I am listening to those
intuitive nudges, colors or images that pop into my mind. I trust the flow of the bigger picture. I am anchored in the present moment of
time. An intuitive sense to end comes
when the work is done.
Finishing off by
grounding again, I step back as I honor the client’s ability to continue their
healing work. I encourage them to rest
awhile.
Eventually we are
both pulled back into the man made time realm we live in. We share our experience with each other often
marveling at the similarities. I am
humbled and grateful and feel truly blessed to be a part of such an intimate
connection. The landscape of my being
has been truly changed by the experience.
