\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What bodywork does for you when your life unravels around you:<\/p>\n

Years ago, I took a reiki class in Reston, Virginia, in Reiki Jinkei Do, taught by Gilbert Gallego.\u00a0 This was at a time when I was taking Reiki classes from anyone and everyone who taught one.\u00a0 I learned something wonderful at each class.\u00a0 I remember each and every class fondly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Giving my memory one takeaway, it is this:\u00a0 Bodywork in general works in our best interest, supporting health and healing on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level.\u00a0 Reiki and Reflexology are in this mix.<\/p>\n

I write a lot about Reflexology and Reiki because I spent the most time studying those two modalities.\u00a0 I teach both of them and I know the good they can do for a person.<\/p>\n

Bodywork in general is cumulative, whatever the modality, which means that the more sessions someone has, the greater effect they will have on that body.<\/p>\n

So far, the only modality I’ve found without contraindications is Reiki therapy.\u00a0 This means you can use it on anyone, anytime, anyhow, anywhere.\u00a0 Reiki is a soft touch on a clothed body so that it can be used in a private healing space,\u00a0 a bus station, airport waiting area, ICU, or accident scene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bodywork of all kinds have reactions.\u00a0 They depend on the modality, the client, the healer, and what is happening in the life of people on the day and time they receive help.<\/p>\n

When clients receive Reflexology and\/or Reiki, their reactions are different each time they receive a session.\u00a0 One of the reasons we don’t think about is the fact that our bodies are different\u00a0 each and every day.<\/p>\n

I’m discussing this now because I’m seeing more and more people whose lives are unraveling.\u00a0 Stress and uncertainty over a long period of time have a way of untethering a person from those things that ground us.<\/p>\n

There are many things you can do.\u00a0 The first of these is to recognize your situation for what it is.<\/p>\n

The second is to list the things you can do.\u00a0 You want to know what you can choose from.\u00a0 The options are, possibly, many.\u00a0 Which ones are more realistic and which ones are less realistic?<\/p>\n

Make your\u00a0 healing list.\u00a0 .<\/p>\n

Be prepared to change your list several times, at least.\u00a0 Maybe you should be prepared to change your list more times.<\/p>\n

What is practical?<\/p>\n

What is affordable?<\/p>\n

What is the option that you prefer?<\/p>\n

Work this list through as you winnow it down to fewer and fewer options.\u00a0 Finally, this list will be short – possibly only 1 or 2 items.<\/p>\n

Until you get down to the final option, there is one thing you can do now.\u00a0 There is one thing which will help you.\u00a0 It probably won’t interfere with your life.<\/p>\n

It can change your daily life for the better.<\/p>\n

And, what is that?\u00a0 BODYWORK!<\/p>\n

There are many modalities that ground the person receiving the work.\u00a0 A good thing to do when the “going gets tough” is to schedule and receive regular grounding bodywork.<\/p>\n

Your body will be grateful for the attention.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One example of this is sleep.\u00a0 Both Reflexology and Reiki sessions can help restore disturbed sleep patterns.<\/p>\n

The effects of a bodywork session are often experienced immediately after a treatment.\u00a0 For example, a client may notice that a headache has disappeared or a frozen shoulder may has become much more mobile.\u00a0 Other symptoms may take three or more sessions to improve a condition or complaint.<\/p>\n

Generally, a disorder that has been around for a long time may take a longer time to improve.<\/p>\n

The problem with this is that we live in a society that wants instant results.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Schedule regular bodywork sessions as part of your life.\u00a0 These regular sessions will stimulate your body’s own healing processes over time as you have regular visits.<\/p>\n

If you find regular sessions to be challenging, take some classes and learn to give sessions.\u00a0 That way, you can exchange sessions with others.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ask a friend to join you in a learning adventure.\u00a0 The two of you can learn together and exchange sessions.\u00a0 This is self-care which is extremely important in these times.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With blogs, books, classes and sessions, I am not here to change your story.\u00a0 Instead, I am here to be a conduit for your own healing.<\/p>\n
