Releasing Pain

Releasing Pain

How do you react to pain?

Do you try to avoid it? In order to release pain from the physical body, one has to become mindful of his/her internal environment. Because pain is a signal to help us understand that something is distorted, we must learn to listen to resolve deep underlying issues. Our bodies and the world we live in are constructed out of the creative energy pulse of the Universe. We are Energy Beings. When we allow things to flow, we are in health. When we resist, fight against harshly, we block ourselves from the Source of Life. Healing may help the body to recover from serious illnesses, and miracles do happen. But more importantly, the soul will come to peace much easier when we bring awareness to our sensations, feelings, hearts and minds. Sitting in the mystery of our humanity and living fully brings true peace and harmony.

Open Your Heart with Horses

Open Your Heart with Horses

Judgement often keeps us from opening our hearts fully and compassionately.

How can we rediscover our inner joy and happiness?

Resourcing the wisdom of horses can reflect back the pure essence of “allowing”.  Working with our equine friends gives us an opportunity to think more freely and reflect on our habitual thinking patterns and behaviors with more clarity and compassion. Moving beyond words, and tasting life from an equine perspective often gives us insight into the constant flow of life.  When we interact with horses and nature, it is much easier to trust what is real and to allow the way of the Sacred.

Open the doorway to Nature.   Let the horses lead the way, if only for a day.

Following a Dream for a Grassroots movement toward personal and community growth and healing…

Massage in Columbus
Opening Your heart and minds through inter-species communications.

 

For many years, I had a dream to move somewhere where there was land, open sky, green grass and a change of seasons. My husband and I looked up and down the east coast from Florida to Maine, and then considered going westward to our old stomping grounds near Denver.  So we were very surprised when we discovered a nice little farm right outside of Columbus, Ohio that called to our hearts.  This farm was very close to where I attended the Ohio State University, and only a few hours away from where we were born. As soon as we situated ourselves, and with horses already on the land, I started to realize how happy I felt in their presence. Whether with one horse at a time or walking within the herd, my heart began to open and I felt great.  My appreciate for nature and all that it has been teaching me here on the farm is constantly bringing me more depth and growth on so many different levels.

So here I am, enjoying the early morning light pouring in and feeling at home with the tractor out in the fields and the gorgeous maple and walnut trees outside my windows.  I am excited to spend part of this Sunday focusing on creating my new Integrative Equine Therapy Business that is being developed one step at a time.  For the last 6 months, I have been researching Equine Therapy and have been thrilled to see that there has been some great success with these programs in the Columbus area.  I have found that that there are programs lent towards personal discovery, mental and behavior issues, job skills, social team building, sensory impairment, terminal illness and so much more.  Most of them are non-profit and based on utilizing the community resources for the betterment of individuals and groups.  My hope is to add this farm to the list of successful businesses interested in making their homes, stables and communities a place where we can contribute and make this world a better place to live. My hope is to bring meaning into a world where so much is Unknown and Unexperienced.

With this new Equine Therapy Program, my dream is to create a grassroots program where local people get involved and use their talents to produce an experiential approach to health and wellbeing. We will hold an intention to learn about ourselves through interactions with our equine friends, the horses here on the property and with those that visit.  My vision may be a little different than others.  While I admire what is already in existence, I’d like to take a more holistic apporach. From a bodyworker perspective, I find that dialoguing with horses in a therapeutic setting can  have a dramatic effect on how we feel in our bodies, as well as emotionally, in our thinking…hearts, and with our spirituality.  So this program will be a Holistic model meant to enhance all those aspects of our lives for who participate.  Included, we will offer integrative services such as education,  bodywork, acupuncture, energy healing, psychotherapy, meditation, women’s groups, corporate leadership programs, 1:1 therapy work as we grow.  These modalities will be part of the program  to strengthen and educate people about the connection between humans and our equine friends.  Indeed, with mutuality with animals and nature, we learn to live more consciously in harmony and unity.

In the last couple months, I have been studying with a very wonderful and insightful woman named Jackie Stevenson, the founder and CEO of “Spirit of Leadership LLC” about how to lead companies and individuals to coach and educate equine participants in individual and group dynamics”.  It has been an enlightening experience and I am highly anticipating my future in sharing her work along with my other skills in the near future.  I remember the first day I went there and she asked us to go out into the field and spend time with the herd.  I thought to myself after standing there for an hour, “what the heck am I doing standing out here with these horses”.  But then the land and the trees began to swallow me up and I felt myself grounding down and opening to so much more than my usual daily life.  Ever since that first day, I have looked forward to the next class.  My relationship with each horse and the group is awakening me to so many new possibilities and intimacies.  I feel met in a comprehensive way. In the meantime, I have been questioning and implementing some of Jackie’s ideas and techniques into my already strong foundation in the field of Healing Education.  For sure, the herd is based on inclusivity.  However, in order for people to come together in an order that work, a learning process takes place.  It often takes patience and observation to find out how to fit in and make something work successfully.  

I am thrilled to be part of the Cleveland Community, and furthering the process of bringing something similar to the Columbus, Ohio area.  Our equine friends, and also all other aspects of nature and inhabitants on this planet have something to offer.  We live on a planet where mutual compassion and understanding can help us to find confidence and thrive in a land that is meant to be heaven.  Earth is our home, and we all have each other.  

I am planting seeds wherever I go with my ideas and enthusiasm.  I am reaching out and asking for help and participation for whoever has a gift or a challenge that they would like to offer.  

If this sounds good to you, give me a call upon this invitation, and let me know your interests and how you might want to participate.

Warmly,

Why Choose Craniosacral Massage?

     Craniosacral Therapy is gentle and effective.

Gentle Touch

Touching into the Intelligence of Life

 

Often clients who find their way into my Craniosacral Therapy (CST) office are frustrated because they have searched for help elsewhere without much success regarding their health and wellbeing.

In this blog, I won’t claim that CST is going to fix everything in one session.  Nothing I know of can.  But what CST does do is listen to the Craniosacral rhythm and help awaken the natural healing energy in your body to your benefit.  Your body knows how to heal and that intelligence Within leads a CST Therapist through the session to support healthy movement and integration.  If you are a person who is overstressed, gradually you will begin to relax and re-center.  If you are a person who has low energy, the nervous system usually picks up and helps you to feel more alive.  With issues of  nerve compression or stuckness in your body, the gentle techniques may remind your body how to release and open up to its natural organic functioning ability.  Some of my clients with MS feel more connected, others with learning challenges such as ADHD and dyslexia find more clarity,  one client I had with fibromyalgia felt much more free and comfortable in her body. It’s the body’s own healing ability that begins to resolve longstanding issues.

Through our studies at the Upledger Institute, we learn many skills to work with the Cranial System and the many aspect of healthy living , but our clients are our best instructors.  Believe it or not, your body is always searching to find balance and health.  We are trained at the Upledger Institute to follow a basic 10 step protocol.  But as our experience increases, we learn to blend those skills with objective listening and a more free form type of session. For example,  you might find the first session to be a general listening beginning at the feet and moving up toward the head, but by the third or fourth visit, once a deeper relationship is established, the dialogue runs the session verses the fundamentals.  We follow the CST and the energy and see where it leads. It’s an incredible experience to trust this profound process of healing.

I love being a Craniosacral Therapist.  I feel better after each session because it gives me a structure to be mindful, in respect, and using my skills to promote Health.  It is my sacred time as it is yours to be in a relationship for the highest good.  Sometimes, whether therapist or client, we need to set aside time to have the intention to be at our very best.That’s why I offer sessions and make sure that I continually receive support myself. We are all in the cycle of life together, and it is in working together that we feel our best.
