An Question of Ethics.

I had occasion to ponder this some time ago and thought It might be wize to bring it up here for debate. The working asumption is that those reading this are gifted as energy/light workers but NOT trained as Social Workers or in other forms of "Talk Therapy."

Several years ago I was giving a massage to a friend of mine whom I had known for well over a decade. She was psychicaly gifted and we were very comfortable interacting on both the energetic and 3D planes. She told me she had a… Continue

Help! My Client is an Energy Vamp

We've all heard, seen and most importantly felt an energy drain from working with certain clients. The drain can wipe us out for hours and sometimes days.We often attribute it to some shortcomming of our own or some issue our client has. But what if it's intentional. I mean Really Intentional. I'm not talking about the creepy ones...The ones that make us bristle long before they get to our table. I mean the subtle ones. Sometimes they're men sometimes they're women. They come in looking and… Continue

The Gains and Pains of Energy Exchange

I'm sorry this took so long. I spent some time in Tampa recently at a Facilitated Pathways Intervention class given by Flo Barber her paradigm shifting work is amazing. I'll be devoting a post entirely to her work in the future.

Of late we've been covering energy at it's most basic. Now we move on to managing our energy exchanges with others. Energy exchanges occur at all levels between friends, family, clients and clerks. Literally every one all the time. Humans, as a means of self… Continue

E=MC2 What Einstien knew about massage

OK, that's it! Relativity?! Some one obviously fell down and hit their head! Keep the linens on your table and we'll take a stroll back to high school science. We all remember that E is energy and M is matter. Right? The sign in the middle is equals. Einstein theorized and subsequently proved that matter contains energy and energy contains matter. Therefore all things including ourselves and our clients are made of matter and contain energy. In physics when matter interacts with other matter it… Continue

Energy - Where and When

Energy, what some call life force, is everywhere. It's in all things and flows through all things. Yes, the living and the not so living. OK so my car has energy?! Sure, does the engine give off heat? Have you ever noticed how some mechanics just seem to have "a knack" with cars? It's almost like the car TOLD them what was wrong! This happened to me a few years ago. My car was almost 10 and started to make an odd sound. Knowing about how energy worked, I asked what's wrong? I heard "the… Continue

Feeling the Heat:The Energy "Phenomenon"

I was reading recently about MT's struggling with energy over loads occurring during massage treatments. If you've experienced something like this good on ya! You're connecting with your clients on a deeper and more valuable level than simply manual technique based massage.

We all learned manual technique as the core of our required training for certification/licensure. Depending on our school's focus, energy techniques landed some where between a core competency and dangling on the… Continue
