Body therapy or bodywork can mean massage, somatic therapy, acupressure, shiatsu, Tui Na, Rosen Method Bodywork and any kind of energy healing including Reiki – if it uses touch or is hands-on.

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress.

The difference between alternative medicine holistic therapy body work and massage is that clients remain clothed in their  session or treatment. Due to the clothing, lotions and creams are generally not incorporated. There may be some kneading, pressure and manipulation of tissue but that may not be the case as some modalities use predominantly light or gentle touch.

Bodywork is a tool for managing stress, which translates into:

  • Decreased anxiety.
  • More balanced energy.
  • Enhanced sleep quality.
  • Improved concentration.
  • Feelings of well-being and peace.
  • Greater confidence and optimism.

Bodywork like CCT, acupressure, shiatsu, Thai massage and Reiki can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork therapy can:

  • Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
  • Alleviate emotional factors that are a component of healing.
  • Bring the body into balance.
  • Ease medication dependence.
  • Ease grief, life transitions and highly emotional life changes.
  • Help release entrenched patterns.
  • Help athletes and performers of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts and performances.
  • Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin.
  • Increase joint flexibility.
  • Balance the chakras.
  • Lessen depression and anxiety.
  • Enhance mental attitude.
  • Improve flow.
  • Reduce postsurgery healing time.
  • Reduce allergies and infections.
  • Help release tension and contracted, overused muscles.
  • Release endorphins—amino acids – feel good chemicals – that work as the body’s natural painkiller.
  • Relieve migraine and headache pain.
  • Help relieve fibromyalgia.
  • Bring nurturing comfort and greater feelings of well-being.

Sometimes traditional massage and bodywork bring up fears, anxieties, and grief and sorrow. Not all massage therapists or bodywork therapists are experienced in handling these kinds of emotions.

A bodywork therapist or body-centered energy practitioner who is trained to understand the mind – body – spirit connection can help you make sense of where the emotions are coming from.

The body is a storehouse of information and with the right guidance you can bring conscious awareness to patterned behaviors (e.g. chronically tight shoulders, torqued hips, tension headaches, allergies and certain stress-related illnesses). Each of these physical ailments has an emotional story to tell.

How many times have you been seen by a professional massage therapist, chiropractor, or medical doctor for a tight neck or severe headache only to have it return once you’re out the door?

A bodyworker who works in a holistic fashion (with acupressure, meditation, mindfulness, Rosen Method of Movement, stretching, and flower essences, for example) will help you to explore and possibly connect with the root cause.

A conscientious practitioner will refer you to other holistic professionals like yoga instructors, psychotherapists or your doctor for your greater well-being.

Body therapy or body work, as with any therapeutic treatment, involves a willingness to seek ongoing support if appropriate. It is an investment in one self, short term and long term.

 

Hooked on Reiki? What?
Think about it.

 

Isn’t it better to be “hooked” on an energy balancing/meditation treatment than on drugs and alcohol?

A high school student began to have weekly sessions of Reiki with me. If I were a parent I could have been worried. I have talked to parents who don’t know much about Reiki and decide to learn about it when they see their son or daughter grow into more confident reassured individuals after several sessions or after a Reiki Level 1 class.

When a third grader asked his mother if he could have a Reiki play date every month, she could have been worried, but she had read about Reiki and realized it was helping her son. He no longer drank pop all day long and seemed less antsy and contented than before.

A parent might wonder, is Reiki addicting?

No. Most individuals come for one or two sessions or for several months on a weekly or monthly basis.

According to the HBO Addiction Project, “addiction is a chronic relapsing brain disease. Brain imaging shows that addiction severely alters brain areas critical to decision-making, learning and memory, and behavior control, which may help to explain the compulsive and destructive behaviors of addiction.”

Addiction has been considered physical and psychological dependence on psychoactive substances (for example alcohol, tobacco, and drugs) which cross the blood-brain barrier once ingested, temporarily altering the chemical makeup of the brain.

Addiction to drugs or alcohol is often a response to trauma or shock, peer pressure and to feelings that a person has difficulty with. S/he may feel a great sense of hopelessness, anger, frustration, fear, tension, or the pain of low self-esteem and shame. Alcoholism is also a disease that creates a dependency that is extremely difficult to break even with professional guidance.

Going for a Reiki session is first of all a way to come into balance, release stress and stressful thoughts, and usually come to a sense of well-being and peace. But it can be more.

Sometimes it leads to greater awareness of what underlies a way of being. That awareness can become a tool for positive change.

Sometimes Reiki becomes a spiritual practice and although I have heard that such practices can be addictive, they serve more to restore balance, bring peace, change attitudes, and resolve differences.

Reiki serves to make the world a better place. That’s a program I can get behind… Hooked on Reiki, Hooked on Fishing, Hooked on dancing. Yes.

Do you have a distressed child? Do you have a teen who doesn’t want to go to school any longer?

I work with youth like these and I’d love to work with more of them. I am quite unusual in working with children. As a Reiki teacher, children’s writer, former children’s and young adult creative arts and dance teacher, and a CCT/Reiki bodywork therapist, I have the unique ability to come to the child’s level and see through his or her eyes, while having the insight and training of an adult. Together, we come up with unusual solutions.

We may find a wonderful stone that feels calming and calls to us. We may talk about energy and energy fields and discover how to set our energy field like the ancient Hawaiians so we feel more grounded and more at ease in our lives.

We may connect to our energy and discover that the Force is with us like JEDI Masters who don’t need lightsabers.

We may remember that we can text GOD, Super Pickle, or some wondrous protector at any time we need. We may find a new understandings about people and places.

When I was growing up, I had an invisible yellow cape that I put on that helped with fear. I discovered it through a play process that is meditation. I consider it a brainpower practice but in other traditions it might be called imagining, visualization, or a form of Hawaiian journeying or shamanism (a shaman being a wise woman/guide).

While I am with a child I may use an energy modality like Reiki to help calm the child and reach a place of balance in which we create a temporary resting place where the child feels safe. Sometimes the temporary “fix” becomes the solution. Often the child becomes empowered within so that s/he continues to create and resolve situations and challenges for him or herself. Once in awhile the child so enjoys the experience that s/he may ask to return for another session or sessions with me.

My prices are reasonable. And be assured that when a behavioral therapist or medical professional is needed, I advocate using their services. Reiki and all that I use in a session with a young person can be accommodated alongside any belief system, spiritual or non-religious, and any medical practice.

DM or e-mail me for more information and we can set up a time to Skype or talk by phone about you and your children.

Crystalline Consciousness Technique or CCT as most like to call it, is a self-empowering energy healing tool that offers individuals a way to grow their conscious awareness and the benefits of improved quality of life, accelerated learning, spiritual and psychic development, enhanced creativity, and more. It can be used with traditional medical treatments and medicines, as well as other alternative and complimentary healing systems.

When we see no way out, when we can’t “think” our way through an obstacle, like Reiki CCT allows us to feel better…

CCT works through sacred geometric healing chambers, vibrations of energy, five unique life force frequencies that offer you the opportunity to release patterns that no longer serve you while they allow you to follow the process of your growth through the stating of intentions.

The CCT practitioner holds the space–the “container”–in which growth, empowerment,  “healing,” transforming and creation take place.

Those who see energy will tell you they see gridwork, fibers, spirals, cubes and other geometric shapes of energy in and around us. They see such energies shift, transform and come in during a session.

People always want to know what the crystalline in the name refers to. It’s a vibrational reference that some people call liquid crystal.

Crystalline structures are the elemental building blocks of life arranged in an ordered geometric pattern or motif that determine their shape and name. Each has its own vibration or resonance. In mineralogy and crystallography, a crystal structure is a unique arrangement of atoms in a crystal and I feel strongly that this is like the atoms and vibrational reference that practical intuitive Laura Day uses in her Circle Meditation and in her book, The Circle.

CCT is holographic in nature, quite like in Star Trek-speak.

I think of CCT as Jedi Master training, working from the inside out, a sensing of, or gut instinct. You might also see it as having a relationship like in the movie Avatar. Whether you’re in a session, or training to be a professional practitioner, you are evolving yourself and your conscious awareness without using traditional thought processes.

CCT is a multi-dimensional experience.

CCT addresses what we are attempting to do intentionally and intuitively. It grows us.

It is spiritual practice at its best. When our thoughts, beliefs and mindsets get in the way, CCT works with us to evolve us to righting our upside-down way of being in the world. We work with our guides or our Super Intelligence.

How does CCT work? Energetically and holistically – body mind spirit. It’s a process. One session involves three phases which can be performed on a sofa, bed, or massage table–almost anywhere that provides some comfort to the one receiving.

A series of sessions might be used to work with childhood trauma or to help an injured dancer whose body for some reason has resisted healing.

CCT like Reiki can also be done distance, so anyone can receive a mini-session or full session anywhere in the world. I’ve given non-talk sessions to people on their lunch hours at work in California, New York City, and England when I’m in Ohio. I’ve also worked with groups this way through one person who sends me the intentions of any colleagues who wish to participate.

Businesses can improve teamwork and grow their unique vision in this way. Individuals and groups can meet and conduct goal-planning or visioning meetings in a CCT session and talk.

In the first phase of a CCT session, Opening, the body is prepared for deep healing. As physical therapist Marion Rosen says of her Rosen Method Bodywork, this phase in CCT helps relax the ego as the breathing changes and we open more fully to receive healing than we can do on our own.

In phase two, we do a bit of spring cleaning. Our body-mind is cleared of its debris… like clearing a field or taking out all your recycleables. This is the phase where the geometric healing chambers are invoked or called in, and where we are able to release patterns that no longer serve us. Then through the stating of powerful intentions, we bring in new energetic patterns and perspectives that better support and fit us. The mind takes a rest during this process.

Like in Avatar we feel connected to the ground of us (for one sort of image)–our divine link up–so we more easily receive what we need of a divine or spiritual nature.

Phase three is a smoothing out of the process a participant in CCT undergoes, a final polishing, a deeper opening in which we experience gratitude for all we are.

Today, I went to one of Ener-g’s squidoo lenses in search of a phrase she used about donations. I had received a free money reiki energy healing the night before from Amy Flynn, which I felt in my body and which was so relaxing that I had to lie back in my lounger.

I saw that Ener-g had changed that lens, and before I knew it, I was following along.

I came to the photo of her healing hands and felt the energy coming off it. I stated an intention silently as I connected to something that had at times felt like I had a pinched nerve and had a wooden crutch under my armpit on my left side.

I thought that I’d like to receive more help with that. As I gazed at the photo, I felt that my arm was in a sling and saw a hazy picture of it in my mind’s eye. I also heard, “now move it to the right side.”

I started to shift it then thought–it’s a release of some kind.

“Expelliarmus! Magnetize this energy out!”

The left pinched area felt a bit lighter.

I saw in my mind a sling and then noticed that the sling held my right side as well as though by pulling up on points on the top of my body midway between my neck and shoulder.

The feeling in me was that whatever was there being pulled up was much lighter than on the left.

I recognized the visual of the sling as the kind that a stork carries a new baby in. Since I’m not pregnant and am not planning to be, I knew it was symbolic, a metaphor for giving birth to something. But what?

I wondered, Is it this story, fable, adventure? Or is it something else? The rebirth of A Place4Us?

If you who are reading take the metaphor of APlace4Us and allow it to enlarge in your imagination, what happens? What is APlace4Us for you? Where is it? And is it one location, many, the earth?

Breathe. Grow. Blossom.

Are you one of those people who only go for a massage once a year?

Are you too busy to go for a massage because you have to undress and then worry about messy oils in your hair? Too much hassle?

We have solutions for you:

I intend serenity, stillpoint, ease, openness, and flow or something similar that comes to you from your heart and intuitive sense

  • Follow one of the links  on this site and enjoy a variety of relaxing forms from art and music to Reiki, sound healing and meditation
  • Set up a lunch hour session of energy realignment from a CCT/Reiki practitioner and breeze in and out without having to undress, re-dress, or worry about messy oils (in northwest Ohio, click here)
  • Look at your life differently. Perhaps this will help you: Author G.K. Chesterton once said, “In everything that yields gracefully, there must be resistance. Bows are beautiful when they bend only because they seek to remain rigid. Rigidity that slightly yields is all the beauty of the earth. Everything seeks to grow straight, and happily nothing succeeds in so growing. Try to grow straight and life will bend you.”

Let us and others know what worked for you so we can pass along the good vibes, or click on the donate button to give us an energetic thank you for the service we provided.

In northwest Ohio, set up an appointment with a CCT or Reiki or Faerie Realms Reiki practitioner at Kneading Time Holistic Therapy. Need a name to mention? Try Melanie.

So many of us in this place for us–planet Earth–are crying for love, attention, emotional support and freedom. But how many of us know where to go to make in roads on these situations for ourselves?
Having received sessions and training in the following touch modalities, I recommend: Rosen Method Bodywork, if you want to know about and fully experience in your body what is behind your crying, needs, yearnings, and desires in a way that feels safe and supportive.
Rosen is immensely spiritual, and, if you’d like to learn how to meditate but need a guide, this is a wonderful form of meditation in relationship.
Choose Reiki, if you want gentle change that feels personal, safe, warm and wonderful…
And Crystalline Consciousness Technique (CCT) if you are ready for the high tech model for change…
Best of all is being able to have the support of energy healing modalities at your fingertips–whether it’s through self-healing (available in CCT and Reiki training) or healing sessions from others or both.
I love how accelerated and yet loving and personal Reiki feels from within the container of CCT. And I’m constantly surprised by how CCT evolves. I’ve moved from being a rather anxious person, lacking confidence in myself, to discovering gifts buried deep inside that allow me to feel joy, delight, and yes, incredulity as I bring them out to show and see people experiencing the same feelings I feel.

Crystalline Consciousness Technique ™ is an energy protocol that cuts out the distracting and distorting energies that get in the way of seeing the results of the change you’d like to see in your life in your life. Working with conscious intent and the crystalline system of the body, people using CCT rapidly become the vibration of that which they wish to manifest (that is, they align with what they wish to manifest). And they hold that vibration easily throughout the time lapse between stating their intent and its manifested form. That is the main secret of manifesting in a consistent and powerful way.
