AH, THE AGE OLD TRUISM of the plumber’s house; its faucets leak and the toilet is plugged. Then there is the electrician’s family, dining by candlelight, the painter’s leprous looking house, and the car mechanic whose wife gets stranded by the family vehicle. Until something becomes an emergency, it can wait. Who wants to continue working on their time off?
Ever hear of the massage therapist in a cast from carpal tunnel syndrome? How about the energy therapist with migraines? Or the lightworker who needs anger management? We, who are perpetual caretakers of others, are especially guilty of putting our selves last on the maintenance list. In reality, this line of thinking is not only backwards; it’s destructive.
Our primary responsibility should be to ourselves – to be as healthy as we possibly can be, so that we can then help others. What good are we incapacitated or unwilling to do our own inner work?
As a massage and energy therapist, I have a wide variety of clientele. Some come for relaxation while others work on attaining their next best level of being. Interestingly enough, it is the energy workers who are least likely to receive bodywork. It has been my experience that those who run the most energy are the last in line for self care. I have heard every excuse, from “I don’t need work done, the Universe takes care of me”, and “I don’t have the free time or extra money”, to “There isn’t anyone vibrationally higher than me that I feel can work on me effectively.” Then there is this one, the most uninformed of all: “The body isn’t important, only the spirit”.
It is essential that lightworkers understand that the body is our connection point here, the body is our conduit for source to run through! Even though the body is the slowest, densest layer, it is still a vital part of our being. Energy is as energy does. Intent rules energy which simply flows where it is directed by thoughts and emotions. If a person believes the body is unimportant and ignores the wisdom that the body holds (which never lies), or has fears based on past physical experiences, then they are less likely to take care of the physical self.
Our physical layer contains every energy signature we have ever encountered. Every cell contained within has absorbed information from pre-birth. It just makes sense that if the body is filled with dense, trapped energy then we cannot run as high a source as we need to channel. Master Jesus said it best: “You can’t put new wine in old wine skins for the skins will burst. It is best to put new wine in new wine skins”. Running extremely high vibrational energy for long periods of time will cause your physical layer damage if the physical layer is not brought up to matching vibrational speed. The dissonance of the vibrational disharmony will tear it apart.
Having an energy treatment done, such as Reiki, Healing Touch, Polarity, Therapeutic Touch, or Quantum will clear the higher vibrational layers (emotional and mental), easing congestion in the bio-energetic fields so that clearing can begin in the physical body. This clearing can be done on a regular basis so that the physical body can respond with less heavy restrictions. It is the slowest, least responsive layer we have. Energy therapy is a good path for clearing the body but it is a slow process. Adhesions that have been present in the connective fascial tissue (like the white of an orange) will often take years to respond to energy therapy alone. Organs that have been restricted and function minimally need to be stimulated and released of their bonds to full functionality.
Massage and bodywork are simply the best in relieving congestion in our slowest layer. Massage creates more circulation in the vascular and lymphatic systems by stimulating the skin. This breaks down adhesions in our fascial layers, which ease the restrictions of the energetic layers. Massage creates friction in the cells that actually increase the rate of vibration just as exercise. This speed increase allows the slower trapped energy to be released into the etheric layers which can be removed via the lymph system and/or energy clearing.
The organs of the body do more than what the medical profession states. They carry and cleanse our most intense emotions, and hold our deepest secrets. Every organ makes contact with other organs, musculature, ligaments, bone and fascia. When an organ is restricted by tight fascia, its functioning decreases. Massage and bodywork such as Visceral Manipulation, frees restrictions that surround the organ itself. The stagnated trapped energy is now able to be metabolized and removed by the other circulatory systems.
Many lightworkers have a history of being abused. This creates a type of blindness towards the physical body, as if it really isn’t there. Dealing with imbedded emotional triggers is excruciatingly painful. Having a massage by a trained, loving professional can help you heal simply by being touched in non-threatening manner. This healing goes far deeper than an energy treatment alone can accomplish. There simply is no substitute for hands on work in this area.
Many healers, abused or not, simply need to be reminded that they have a body! It’s almost like an afterthought for some of us until it screams for attention. Touch is quite underrated in our society. It is one of the elements of a healthy life. If newborn babies are not touched, they will wither and die. Here in America, touch is as undervalued as it is essential. Massage creates a wonderful sense of well being in the person. This feeling of wellness is so abundant that it attracts the higher vibrations of health, love and prosperity.
The energy available to us right now is phenomenal, astounding, enlightening and profound. We need to do all that we can to be excellent conduits for this new high-vibration energy. We can only be the hollow bone through which spirit moves if we allow the clearing to transpire.
