sessions
the context in which healing takes place is as important as the healing itself, so an initial session will begin by look at what you expect or hope to gain from the sessions, and how you might receive that, your likes and dislikes, and also what i think is needed. this doesn't have to take a long time and is usually an empowering process, sometimes very healing in itself.
all sessions are tailored to the individual, you will be supported to be authentic, to find and express what is right for you and encouraged to take responsibility for your own healing process.
zen therapy
central to the way i work, where you are guided to allow anything within you that would deny our wholeness to come forward, reveal itself and be healed. it has been described as assisted self healing, because though guided and supported, you are fully involved in the process. This can be a very deep process. much of its power comes from focusing on the solution rather than the problem - at the core of our being is the necessary power to heal and resolve our lives and this process offers a step by step encounter with the truth of this.
this method is then supported by more passive therapies like spiritual healing, touch and sound healing, where you are invited to relax and receive energy, as well as dance and movement therapies which encourage wholeness and embodiment. Some of theses are described briefly below:
sound healing
my method is to connect you with your own inner sounds by singing or playing to you sometimes combined with light touch and passing my hands around the body as with traditional spiritual healing. the songs - in a spirit language -are relaxing yet often emotional, their intent to heal has them seek out your own inner sounds and resonate with them, drawing your attention to them and relating them to your physical and ethereal bodies. obviously all this is not carried out consciously all you need do is lay down, allow body and mind to relax and let go of your imagination, accepting the validity of your experience as it happens for you.
"...these (inner) sound values are literally interwoven in an electromagnetic pattern. the sounds weave themselves through, and help form this pattern. the activity of cells within the body also causes what you might call minute explosions of interior sound. The electromagnetic and inner sound patterns are impinged upon by certain kinds of light. Together these form all form the prototype upon which and out of which, the physical body is formed. When you create a mental image it is composed of the same properties ... there is a definite connection, then, with the nature of such images and the way in which your body itself is composed." - seth, from the nature of personal reality.
spiritual healing
is the channeling of healing energy usually through the hands and underlies all therapies, or should, because it recognizes that the healing is carried out, not by the healer, who is just a conduit for whatever needs to happen, but by nature. our nature, which includes spirit.
tantric healing
tantra is unique in its wholehearted recognition of our sexuality as a natural and spiritual part of or lives and sexual energy as the basis of our creative life force, meant to flow throughout or bodies and our lives rather than confined to one narrow set of actions we usually define as sex. This has lead to the development of techniques for sexual healing, which include learning how to recognize honor and express your own needs and boundaries, energetic and touch therapies.
