I met my healer last year shortly after I began my studies in massage therapy. At the time, I was focused on my inner being and spiritual wellness and not so much the physical ailments I was having. I didn’t realize how helpful the combination of spiritual healing and massage would be for my daily challenges.
My healer is a seriously intuitive, compassionate, REAL person who is an energy worker, LMT, psychic and an all around good person. I consider her to be one of the most amazing humans I’ve ever met. I’ve worked through issues with her that I’ve suffered with for years in one session. She incorporates massage into her treatments, when needed. Prior to my hiatus from our sessions, I had experienced a few of those massage treatments. It wasn’t until I more recently started to have massages specifically for my CF problems (deep massage to treat the spasms from coughing) that I realized how complete the spiritual healing sessions were. I am now doing both.
My healing sessions are different every time and my healer utilizes all the tools including touch, sound, site, and visualization to help me reach my goal in each session. What I’ve found is that, I hold the power to better myself spiritually, mentally and physically. She is like a conduit who reads my body, mind and spirit and guides me to the answers I’m seeking. In my last session, she helped create movement internal and externally through a series of stretches and massage.
In general, it seems people indulge in receiving a massage on occasion and not for the health benefits. I personally feel it should be included in every health care plan. Although massage can be relaxing, it can do so much more. It increases circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs. It improves range of motion and decreases pain. It reduces stress, the cause of nearly 90% of disease we face. It releases endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller, therefore reducing the need for medications. It stimulates lymph flow and supports the body’s natural process of detoxification.
My LMT (not the spiritual healer), explained my pains like this…every cough is like a mini spasm and continual coughing causes tiny spasms throughout my whole body resulting in cramps, tightness, aches and other uncomfortable sensations. I have started to pay attention to what muscles are tightening when I cough….EVERY FREAKING ONE!!! Even my feet flex when I cough. My back and chest and belly are the most affected I’ve found. Talking about getting an unintended work out.
Between the two therapies, I am finding my mind more focused, my body less tense and a positive flow of energy making everyday a little easier.
