Unleash Your Potential
Sharing the Work of Dr. Barbara Brennan, by Sharon Hartnett LMT
Over the last few decades, Dr. Barbara Brennan has seen her healing techniques and teachings spread across the globe, touching the lives of many students, clients, and people who have attended her school and/or studied her books, “Hands of Light” and Light Emerging”.
Her four year program at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing” has continued to provide a sanctuary for people from all aspects of life in which to learn about healing and how their personal healership can support positive change in the world.There is no other setting quite like this school that can offer such a profound sense of community, bent in service to the Higher Purpose of Life. BBSH is a unique container of intentional movement toward the evolution of the human Spirit.
As a graduate of the school, I’d like to share some of my insights into the many benefits of attending this school:
A little bit about the school from a graduate’s perspective: The school is based on a four year curriculum, planned out to promote self awareness and energy transformation. In the most simple terms, the first year is very gentle and explorative in a nurturing sense. It is an opportunity to gain better understanding of Self, and how our Human Energy Field operates. As one approaches the second a year, a different template of energy is held to deepen into our whole sense of Self by further exploring our dualistic beliefs, wounding, defense systems and how we create conflict and resolve issues in our relationships. In my opinion, this year often opens us up to aspects of self where we dared not look in a long time. However, as we learn to listen to our Higher Selves, we gain insights from our darkness, and the light begins to shine brighter and brighter revealing our true natures. The third year takes us on another turn. This year challenges us to examine our relationship with God. Often authority issues are revealed and our limited thinking is dropped to open us to be more closely aligned with the Divine Mind. One learns to restructure chakras, to hold the 5th level of the energy field and so much more. Finally, when one enters the fourth and last year, the students take the time to write a research project and present a Case Study. This last year pulls the work together through working with the intention of Hara and rediscovering the Core Star connection we each have to the Divine.
To enter this portal of deep transformation and change, one has to be very committed. One has to learn to trust that by letting go of our old paradigms, that new wisdom and light will lead the way through our darkest trials. Students learn to recognize their strategies and defenses that no longer serve. With all pretenses dropping away, we have learned to become transparent and reconnected to the Whole. Even after graduation, we continue to question and explore in the dance of the Light , opening our hearts and our minds.
Most people who graduate, take the work they have learned from Barbara Brennan, her teachers and community out into their regular daily lives. But something integral to our way of Being has shifted. As we continue to use the skills, we weave our insights and essence into everything around us. We wake up to Source in everything we see with fresh eyes. Blocks that once held us frozen still dissolve easily, and the passage of life is easier to transverse.
I am not going to say that going the Barbara Brennan School of Healing is an easy journey. But it is a journey worth taking. The curriculum and support that show up at the school will help to heal your deepest wound. It will help you to navigate through life with more ease and grace. It will loosen your ties to the past and free you up to live more fully with Presence in the Moment.
Dr. Barbara Brennan dedicated her life to teaching and sharing her work. The Template of study and experience will dramatically change how you view life no matter how you look at it. If you are wanting to discover your True Essence, this is the place to start. If you want to look toward doing healing work with others out in the world, this school will give you the tools and Presence. Open up to your deepest longing and allow this community to support you in rediscovering your potential and True Self. Your beliefs are not you. You are so much more than you ever imagined yourself to be.

Mindfulness with Massage
Is your mind going 1000 miles per hour when what you really need is to relax?
One way to receive massage is to just allow touch to carry you away. And it often does. However, at Lighten Up Therapies, we often get clients who just don’t know how to unwind and may need some help.
By bringing mindful awareness to touch and exploring your experience during your massage, the body sends messages to the brain that may help you to reframe or reorganize patterns of thinking and feeling. This sacred space lends to releasing and renewal in so many ways. People often feel re-energized and more centered after a session at Lighten Up Therapies, here in Columbus, Ohio.
Awareness
It is also very helpful to take meditation home and make it a daily practice. This can be achieved by:
1. Be curious. Stay in a mode of asking.
2. Observe what is happening in the moment. Be as objective as possible with this practice.
3. Experience life as it is. Acknowledge your perceptions and sensations. Be authentic in your intention.
Using these skills can help you to calm and move through anything that is negatively affecting you in your life.
A helpful article I found on mindfulness was in the AMTA archives. If you are interested to learn more about meditation, check out:

How a Massage Therapy in Columbus Ohio Protects the Things that Matter
How a Massage in Columbus, Ohio Protects the Things that Matter
When you have a job to do, your mind and body must work together to get it done. Jobs in all fields rely on this natural union— finding integration in oneself so that performance is optimal. Becoming aware that when either the mind or body gives out, a worker’s capability to do their job is severely halved, might spur one into making better decisions about self care through Massage and Bodywork. Not operating at full capacity can translate to the loss of income for a period or, even worse, the job itself.
For renowned physical therapy author and lecturer Debbie Roberts, the feeling of losing a job can’t be more familiar. In her article on Massage Today, she shared her experience in treating an oral surgeon who was on the verge of losing 20 years of education and practice. The following story shows just how powerful Columbus, Ohio massage therapy can be.
Case Study
Oral surgeons spend a lot of time holding and working with tools to perform various operations. With aching hands, however, there’s not much an oral surgeon can do but to resist the pain and keep his hands stable. Roberts noted that the surgeon was losing his grip strength, which can be disastrous in operating high-speed precision tools.
Analysis of the problem shows the pain extending as far as the neck, along the arms. Roberts targeted specific muscles with her massage therapy, which also includes hot and cold treatments, to deal with the unbearable pain. After a few more visits, the surgeon manages to keep his 20 years of experience, performing dental operations more effectively.
Assessment and Treatment
Client assessment is an important part of massage therapy, just as diagnosis is to medicine. After all, what’s the use of blindly treating a wide area when the pain still persists after that? There are many ways to perform an assessment of the client: stretching, relaxing, pressure, hydro-therapy, and so on. By knowing what hurts and what doesn’t, therapists can zero in on a more specific area.
Body pain is, more often than not, like a leak in the roof; it may be there, but it may not be coming from there. Assessment helped Roberts’ treatment take significant effect on the surgeon and prevent his career from crumbling in the process. Columbus, Ohio massage services, such as Lighten Up Therapies, promise to listen to the body’s cues and follow through with the best care to protect the things that matter to patients the most.
