We are all like this shell; our shadowy parts enhance our loveliness.
Dear potential client,
Here are some things that may help you understand what happens in a Lyrical Healing session.
I’m trained in CranioSacral Therapy, EMDR, Zero Balancing, Clinical Massage Therapy, Reiki, and counseling psychology (but I am not working as a counselor), and I use my intuition. Intuiting to me means listening deeply and noticing subtleties. Some may call those subtleties “energy.”
I believe that everything is energy; muscles, God, Prana, Chi, sadness, joy, etc., and that everything is interconnected. Emotions can change our biochemistry and even which genes are “switched on” or off. And our biochemistry and genes and physical state can affect our emotions. Thus I attend to your muscles, fascia, the Transcendent, your inner critic, and your Inner Wisdom and to the ways in which they intersect or interact.
I use touch because 1) it helps me to sense and understand what you are feeling physically and emotionally. 2) You can hopefully sense my neutral, respectful touch and viscerally understand that I am honoring the wisdom of your body and psyche. I am “listening,” tuning in, attending to you in a way I can’t solely by listening to your words. 3) Since I’m Reiki attuned, I channel “Universal Lifeforce” energy through my hands (as perhaps all of us do). 4) With my hands in contact with your body, I am ready to gently assist the tissue or muscle or joint; to help facilitate whatever change the body/psyche calls for. You and I partner together to find your own highest good for each session.
Lying on a massage table helps you relax and relaxing is conducive to deep work, to accessing the subconscious. Deep work has the most profound impact. Sometimes we access parts of self that clients have repressed or ignored. Hidden or disowned feelings or urges or parts of ourselves do not fade away; and listening to them, befriending them, eases their forcefulness and allows for creativity and change.
My approach is very gentle. CranioSacral Therapy, my “default mode,” is based on the premise that what you judge won’t budge. I don’t try to fix or change. The body knows, the psyche knows, I merely listen, allow and facilitate.
