Long Term Implications for Healing Touch

From 1999 until 2003, for four years, I attended a healing school.  The school presented many challenging lessons that needed to be learned; many of them involved personal processing, but many were also healing techniques.  We would learn a healing technique each time we went to school in either New York or Florida and that technique required considerable focus, discipline and of course we had to be evaluated on the extent to which we learned each of those techniques.  It was a rigorous training program.

The most useful healing technique that I learned that I have always used on myself is the one that I described to you a few days ago.  It requires no training.  It requires no trips to New York or Florida.  It requires no specific discipline or focus.  It requires not even any intention.  It’s quite marvelous that you can literally take your hand and place it anywhere on your body that is troubling and you will find there to be relief.

Instead of beating up on our bodies, instead of being angry they are not working the way they are supposed to as far as our standards are concerned – instead, we literally pay attention, we listen, and then we place that hand on the body part that needs attention.

I really do not understand what happens although I do this every night that I go to sleep.  I do know that by placing your hand on the particular place on your body that needs attention, you are able to call in the frequencies that are needed at that particular place and that particular time.  Don’t ask me to explain how or why this works.  I really don’t have a clue.  All I know is it works.  I know it works because I’ve used this every night since I’ve learned the technique.

  • It is easy to do.
  • It is fun.
  • It will console that place on your body that is calling out to you for attention. 
  • It is soothing.
  • It helps bring your body back in to balance.

Most obviously, instead of having thought forms that have very low frequency and that are disastrously judgmental – instead, you have a tender, loving response to your body that really is working beautifully.  Enjoy this technique for the rest of the week, and again, if you’re like me now that you’ve learned it, every time you go to sleep, if you have any place on your body that calls out for attention, you will be placing that hand there now and forever more.

Healing Touch

Whether we currently experience the neurological symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease or not, we all have aches, pains and disturbances throughout our body from day to day:

  • A toe that aches today
  • A knee that is troublesome tomorrow
  • A shoulder that become tight tonight
  • An arm that emits pain over the weekend
  • A finger that happens to be painful next week.

There are many reactions that we have when our body sends out signals of discomfort.  One of those reactions is to make a visit to the doctor who will prescribe medications or perhaps even surgery.  That is one solution and it works well for some people.  A second solution is to get furious at that part of your body that is sending out signals of angst.  We can always fuss away at our body. We can always be angry at it because it is not doing for us what we want it to do in the moment.

There is a third response that I invite you to mindfully attend to this week.  When you notice that your body is sending out some signal of discomfort, for example, a left knee that happens to ache or a right shoulder that happens to be somewhat painful, instead of going to the doctor – though that might be important and necessary – and instead of beating-up on your body, try a third strategy.  Take one of your hands and place that hand on the place that is calling out to you for attention.

For example, if it is your left knee that happens to be troubling you today, place your left hand on that left knee.  That is all you have to do, nothing else. Just place your hand on your left knee.  If it is your right shoulder that is bothering you in the moment place your left hand on your right shoulder; just hold your hand up there.

Finally, and perhaps mostly helpful is when you’re going to sleep at night, do a scan of your body and ask yourself, what body parts happen to be calling out to you in the moment with some degree of distress.  Do the same thing here. Place a hand over on that shoulder, that stomach, that hip, that thigh, or that knee. If it happens to be your foot you can obviously put yourself in a position where you can place your hand over your foot.  Make it so that your are totally comfortable and you can actually go to sleep with your hand on that body part that is troubling you.

I emphasize, nothing else is required––no thoughts are needed of any type.  Simply place your hand on the body part that is calling out for attention.  It is called “healing touch.”  No workshops are required. No  special skills are necessary and it is not necessary to read any instructional books – just touch that place. Leave your hand there as long as you can.  Apply healing touch whenever the occasion calls for it this week during the day, but especially as you’re going to sleep at night.

Try it. You will like it.
