Light the Fear

Love Touch Heal

We are a body made up of mind, matter and energy.

When receiving bodywork, the attitude of the client can greatly impact the efficacy of the treatment both in terms of changes in the tissue, as well as treating the whole client to a greater sense of happiness and purpose.

Love-touch-heal is a model for bodywork where the client focuses on the things about their own body that they appreciate, admire or have affection for.  

Even as we work together to treat and heal the areas of their body that are bearing the brunt of their muscoskeletal existence, they engage their mind in deliberate positive, affirming thoughts.

Every person uses their body differently, so every client is unique, but what is not unique is the ability for every client to re-connect with their body through "loving" thoughts as we together heal the chronically overused or emotionally impacted muscles and joints in their bodies, 

Intentional body work is an opportunity to take a session of touch and connect it with each client's personal goals in their relationship with themselves.  Often unspoken, and yet very real, this "first" relationship with our own body is an important component in effective bodywork.

Beyond sore backs, locked shoulders and bent hips, love-touch-heal seaks to bring a positive, fun intention  between client and their body to every bodywork session. Whether discussed or internal, the process is effective to get the most out of one or more bodywork sessions.

Building off wherever each client is to wherever they want to go, when the mind equals "love," the matter can be touched, to heal the energy of anything that has happened to anyone.

Holding space with clients, is having a loving, non-sexual intention for the greatest good in their bodies as we help them relax, recover and return to a better feeling experience in their body.

By encouraging clients to focus on being "loving" to themselves, they supply the love, we supply the touch, and the healing happens naturally from that combination.

Happy Body + Buoyant Mind = Healthy Energy

Protect Your Well

You are a collection of systems and functions, varied and powerful human body, and yet beyond your anatomy you are also an energy system of motivation and emotion, a passenger and the pilot.

Being a bodyworker, a massage therapist, a physical therapist, an assistant for the eldery or special needs. A parent, a sibling, a friend or a lover, we're all fueled from a well of energy available for those relationships and needs in our life. 

Everyone draws from their well to face their day, to navigate their life. And each of us does it in dialogue with the "other" of your anatomy: your mind.

A mind is a powerful thing. The shaper and filter of reality, your mind is the manager of your well. Don't poison your well. Don't take more than you need.  Don't sell it or give it to another, for any reason. Don't give up on your well.

Share willingly and understand that, like groundwater in an ecostystem must be shared by many wells, your consciousness is shared by the world you encouter daily among the people you live with and think about. It's a fact of physics that we are energy beings emitting and processing the signals around us.

As such, the health and well being of each "well" is a vital collective interest we all share.

In fact, it is the strongest, and most common interest we share because it is, by definition, the one thing no one else can do for you, or for the world.  The MOST important contribution you can make to your life, and to the lives of those you touch and care for, is to take care of that think you call "me." 

Give to yourself daily.  Have a program of self-care. Be proactive and protect your wellspring, your root to our society, your contribution to our future, and it will nourish you all your days.

If  you touch or physically care for others, whether in your family, community and/or job, a program of Self Care will bring a depth and an enjoyment to your life that is nearly necessary to fuel the energetic demsands of doing that work.

Spend time with your well, so you can be proud of your well.  Seek it out, and develop it as you like. But do develop it.  Use a program of Self Care program to make it happen.  It doesn't matter what you do, only that you do something.

The care of something so precious is best not left to chance.

Protect your well. Grow your mind.  Find your ???

Biochemical Individuality, Systems Medicine & Personal Energy

The advance of modern medicine has been so profound for so many generations that most of us never pause to consider the accuracy of the fundamental principles behind most medical treatments.  Core among all sacred truths in medicine is the universality of the causes and solutions to disease.

Yet this view is finally changing as our genetic and chemical understandings increase, and many now feel that the universal approach is not sub-optimal method to heal, but actually may also be the cause of chronic disease in many individuals. 

By treating us all the same, modern medicine has missed the point that we are each dynamically individual with natural (and positive) variations across the core function of our biologic systems. In fact, as we uncover the complex interplay of genes, epi-genes and environmental factors, we now know there is a wide variety of chemical operational variation among humans.

So what is most important is not what your lab results say about the exact chemical nature of your blood or other bodily samples as compared against the mythical "normal human," but what is the interplay of your biology, your energy and your environment.

Systems medicine treats the core operations manual of the human body as an information system with DNA and genes operating not as a simple recipe to "make us," but instead, DNA is a complex decision making program that operates in the individual context and environment to express its amazing instructions into the actual cellular life that comprises each of us.

There are many gains to be had in ignoring our diversity and pushing ahead with the study of medicine that helps as many as possible, and yet, this core universal applicability model of medicine also dead ends many patients in "chronic" uncurable conditions, e.g. autism, fibromyalgia because no universal solution may exist.

Yet a "cure" may exist for these patients through a different approach to their own individual needs and expressions.  Our biochemical individuality, like our energetic individuality is from our personal source of being and purpose, and thus systems medicine asks more of its patients, just as it asks more of its doctors.

The doctors of the future must be co-collaborators with patients in manifesting health through a patient study and understanding of each individual's needs.  It means training doctors not on a disease by disease basis but on a system by system basis, focusing on the interplay between health and attitude in patients.

Likewise, patients of the future must know more about themselves.  In Bio Sense Suit terms, the pilot of the suit is in the best position to run and understand diagnostics.  Doctors will be there to help, as will an individual genome map, and yet systems medicine, if done right, empowers patients to take control of their own care and health.
