Reiki Research

I came across the above link and wanted to share.  It pretty much says it all!

I’d like to share a personal story.  For the past year now I have felt in a funk of sorts with so much transitioning, mostly having to do with private practice, and incorporating my new Massage Therapist and Reiki Self with my Art Therapist Self.  I have been caught up in the details of private practice, not paying enough attention to my own vibrational health.  And the holidays brought along with them a overendulgence of wine, cookies, & chocolate.  Lack of sleep and exercise didn’t help much either!  Yesterday a close friend and I decided to spend some quality time in elevating our energy and nurturing our souls…  with Reiki.  As I drove home after our trade I was reminded of the power of Reiki Energy and  how simple it is really to get back on track.  It’s not rocket science!  After a profoundly deep and restorative sleep I woke with a renewed sense of who I was.  I feel rested, clear, and happy!  And then I came across this wonderful Reiki Research link.

We are energy.  Our bodies are merely a vehicle for this energy allowing us to experience the relationships that being human is all about and able to learn the lessons we are presented with lifetime after lifetime after lifetime.  Our soul is energy that is pure and whole and can never be destroyed.  But this dynamic of being human here on this earth plane can at times cause congestion in our energetic selves that makes our bodies ill and clutters our minds with superfluous chatter.

Energy work can help remind you who/what you really are.

Did you know that Massage Therapy can ease clients’ symptoms of Fibromyalgia?

“Fibromyalgia has been described as a deep and superficial, soft tissue aching pain of at least three months’ duration, characterized by specific tender points in 11 of 18 locations.  This is a perfect definition for this painful condition, which can be profoundly affected by intelligent and thoughtful massage therapy” as is outlined in a current issue of Massage & Bodywork, September/October, 2011, ABMP.

Massage Therapy addresses the clients’ pain (using desensitization techniques), insomnia, anxiety, and irritability (by placing the client in a deep parasympathetic state), generalized stiffness and joint pain (relieved with gentle range of motion stretches), and breathing difficulties (relieved with massage strokes).

I am happy to be able to provide individuals with alternative therapies choices in addressing specific needs, but also taking into consideration the entirety of each individual; body, mind & soul.  Consider Massage Therapy as an adjunct therapy in coping with this life altering condition.

My Tree by DASG

is where Rochester Therapies started.  Signs, symbols & metaphors…  our experience personified in art making.  Art springs from the subconscious…  providing a voice for your soul.  And then IT grew into exploring the vibrations that feed and nurture our soul; Reiki.  Now growing further to include the VEHICLE of our soul…  our living, breathing body…  with touch therapies and energy work.  Finally on to the WHOLE of IT with Past Life Regression Therapy.  And now Soul Exploration.  Sessions that include all that I have to give.  I feel I have joined a new generation of therapists…  we tend to the body, mind & soul.  I’ll call it Soul Psychotherapy.  

What will come next I wonder as I dream of my upcoming trip to Omega and another week-long training with Dr. Brian Weiss?  What more can he inspire in me?

I’ve got goosebumps!

to my Past Life Regression Therapy work…  only an artist would come up with a subconscious mind dollhouse!  And then play with the photographic image!   I love that the interior is ever changing with the use of chalkboard paint and pastels!

A Soul’s Journey by DASG

I have been sharing the most amazing, healing experiences with my clients using Past Life Regression Therapy.  It certainly provides a fast track to understanding your soul’s path…  which often includes clarifying those recurring patterns that may be causing pain and disruption in your life.

Dr. Brian Weiss, my teacher, my mentor, has written so many wonderful, heartfelt books on the topic of reincarnation and Past Life Regression Therapy.  It was a struggle for him to gain acceptance as it has been for me.  I always tell my clients, there is no need to believe in the concept of reincarnation for the healing to occur.  Your mind, for whatever reason, always finds the perfect metaphor to explain your current situation.  I have gotten the  most amazing results by starting a conversation with the client’s “higher self” (whatever that means for each individual).  And I always have the client meet up with a personal guide.  For me, it feels like I am directing a 3D Art Therapy experience.  My client is walking through and experiencing their own personal imagery, symbols, myths, and metaphors.

This is a most exciting time in my career as a therapist, providing Art Therapy, Massage Therapy, Reiki and now Past Life Regression Therapy in private practice.  I encourage all to keep an open mind in exploring the concept of Soul. 

From the PREFACE in Same Soul, Many Bodies, by Dr. Brian Weiss, 2004

When Catherine came to me as a psychiatric patient twenty-four years ago, she recalled with stunning accuracy her travels into past lives she had led that were as far apart as the second millennium B.C. and the middle of the twentieth century, thereby changing my life forever.  Here was a woman who reported experiences and descriptions from centuries past that she could not have known in this life, and I – a Yale – and Columbia-trained psychiatrist, a scientist – and others were able to validate them.  Nothing in my “science” could explain it.  I only knew that Catherine was reporting what she had actually seen and felt.

As Catherine’s therapy progressed, she brought back lessons from the Masters – incorporeal guides or spirits possessed of great wisdom – who surrounded her when she was detached from her body.  This wisdom has informed my thought and governed my behavior ever since.  Catherine could go so deeply into the past and had such transcendent experiences that, listening to her, I felt a sense of magic and mystery.  Here were realms I never knew existed.  I was exhilarated, astonished – and scared.  Who would  believe me?  Did I believe myself?  Was I mad?  I felt like a little boy with a secret that, when revealed, would change the way we view life forever.  Yet I sensed that no one would listen.  It took me four years to gather the courage to write of Catherine’s and my voyages in Many Lives, Many Masters.  I feared I would be outcast out of the psychiatric community, yet I became more and more sure that what I was writing was true.

I am excited to be going once again to The Omega Institute for more training with Dr. Brian Weiss this summer.

No rhythm in life

Give me a sign

             Ease my mind

Shoes danced in a dream

Wearing just socks

No Mass after all

Then

Ouside

In the grass 

HE brought out two

Not alike

Men’s shoes

I recognize

Scoot back inside

To find

What’s left behind

Strewn in the aisle

And

On the way out

Slipped sandals back on

Dirt caked white socks

Arranged the pile

Neatly

In pairs

They noticed that

Then

Skipped

Down the stairs

     *shoes are a familiar pattern in my dreams
