In Tantric philosophy,
it is said “What is here is elsewhere; what is not
here is no where.” What we find and experience
within ourselves is also found in the world around us, and all that
we find in nature and through life will also be found within us.
Making use of resonance
– the sympathetic vibration of something as it comes near or
in contact with the source of vibration – we attune
ourselves to the rhythms and energies of nature in her
seasonal flow and not only resonate with these energies, but also
amplify them through intent. This forms the heart of the Energies
of Healing philosophy, and informs the relationship between client
and practitioner…
As Energies of Healing
Practitioners, we recognize three layers of being – the physical,
the energetic (systems, pathways and elements), and the spiritual
(heart consciousness). The physical is addressed through diet and
herbs, as well as touch, pressure, movement and manipulation of tissues,
organs, joints and various other systems of the body. The energetic
is addressed through working with the various energy systems, pathways
and elements. The spiritual is addressed through awareness, resonance,
intent, visualization, meditation, prayer and ritual.
In our relationship with
clients, we are not just listening to one level or layer of being,
but allowing all levels of being to suffuse and communicate as sensation,
image, thought, feeling… The practitioner allows the logical
to dance with the intuitive, conscious to merge with unconscious,
intellectually-learned knowledge to intertwine with heart-lived wisdom…
Past, present and future merge into a singular eternal moment. Inner
and outer are no longer merely reflections, but exist as one continuum
of being. Spirit becomes solid – palpable –
and physical dissolves into an ocean of energy…
This is the realm of the
traditional Shaman. It is the traversing of many planes of existence,
many ways of perceiving at once to allow an image to emerge built
of body, energy and spirit that describe the person, the time, the
condition and the potential for healing. And it is the
realm of the Energies of Healing.
