I offer case studies in order to align you to the healing possibilities that open up when we understand consciousness to be the prima materia. Mostly, I am describing what happens as my imagination interacts with the informational field. In an in-person treatment, this is what guides my hands to apply resonant attention, allowance, and light touch to the client’s fully-clothed body; online, I am just applying attention and allowance and ask the person to place their hands on different locations on the body, though I also use my hands as if we were working in person. Everything I describe is profoundly different than allopathic medical treatment and even most bodywork.
Nona knew that her obesity was probably linked to her history of sexual abuse and came to me intending to transform those problems. I had to explain that I never treat issues, but simply support the body. By assiduously following the body’s lead, traumas are transmuted in a gentle, appropriate order, never collapsing the body’s Jenga puzzle. But we can set intentions, which often powerfully surfaces the linked bodily aspects of those goals.
In this case, Nona’s body brought us to the lung, which seemed to have a clouded area that identified itself as an energetic interference. Going deeper, I realized that the cloudy area was leaking up from the band of muscles at the base of the lungs, the diaphragm, which, itself, seemed to be comprised of two layers of puffy whiteness surrounding an inner blackness. This tracked to four years old and Nona remembered a night in which a neighbor came up into her bedroom.
“My mother later said that couldn’t have happened, but I remember him coming up and I remember being terrified.”
