Day 63 of 365 - What the Body Holds
The interview I listened to last night in the Sacred Science of Sound series, featured a practitioner who uses specialized tuning forks to balance the energy field around the body in healing sessions. I was actually aware of this practitioner previously from another source. Her belief is that all our experiences are stored in layers, like the rings of a tree, which radiate around the body. The sound wave energy from the tuning forks, when held within a certain range of the body, bounces against these rings and gives feedback about where there is stuck energy due to trauma. Stuck energy disrupts the usual balanced flow. When the blockage is removed and balance is restored the stress response can let go and the client feels relief.
This description is an oversimplification to illustrate a concept that many have believed for hundreds if not thousands of years. That is the notion that we store stress of all kinds in, or around our body and that it creates dis-ease or illness as a result. This used to be considered a rather 'woo-woo' concept, even as little as twenty years ago in the Western world. But now, you see it in health related articles on a regular basis, that one of the major causes of illness in our modern times is stress.
Many body workers, such as massage therapists, seem to have an intuitive ability to sense these stored areas of stress in the body and even to have an awareness of what it is about. Some people have significant emotional release experiences when they have body work done. This may also occur for some people with any kind of energy work experience, such as Reiki for example.
This does not usually happen for me. Perhaps it is because I exercise such strong mental control. I may be tracking the flow of energy during my own sessions as a client, but it is primarily a mental and analytical exercise for me.
Ironically, and in the vein of learning what we need to know for ourselves, I completed several years ago training in what is called medical intuition. I think that term is kind of a misnomer, implying that those practitioners primarily make medical diagnoses or give treatment prescriptions. In the style I learned, that is not the primary purpose. Without going into a lot of detail, I learned to intuitively focus on the body and energy field of subjects, to scan the body, and to receive information from it which is then reported back to that person. The information could be from many sources: physical, emotional, mental, past or present, even from past lives. The biggest hurdle to overcome in that training is to get your own mind and tendency to interpret out of the way. It is the client who the information belongs to and it is their choice how to have it interpreted and how to act upon it, themselves or via their healing team.
In that practice, I certainly experienced many intense emotions as I connected with that stored energy in the bodies of clients. One of my strengths in doing that work was to be able to connect deeply with emotional experiences and to be aware of a lot of detail around them. So, I know I am capable of it; I just don't practice it much on myself. (And, for anyone who may be wondering; no, I do not go around 'reading' other peoples' energy or scanning their bodies without permission. That is unethical.)
But, getting back to where I started this post, I am always fascinated to hear about techniques which claim to remove energy blockages. I don't think it is just a placebo effect. It's an energetic exchange to restore a natural homeostasis. Perhaps the success of the technique is dependent to a certain extent on the receptivity of the client.
I think this topic warrants more than one post to explore. Stay tuned.
