The most obvious difference between Zoom and in-person sessions is the warmth and comfort of human touch. It’s hard to overstate how valuable physical contact can be. It can make all the difference in a baby’s thriving—and the same is undoubtedly true for adults, too. The drift we’ve made toward online appointments has sacrificed much in that vein. The only reason I moved so many of my appointment to Zoom was to be able to teach at a scale that could meet the urgent need we’ve had since Covid for a new paradigm in medicine. But my greatest wish would be for you to cultivate relationships with bodyworkers in your hometown—or, better yet, to form local practice trade groups. Weekly resonant attention parties anyone?
That said, my online appointments have their own magic. For one thing, they truly demonstrate the principle of Resonant Attention. When you experiencing processing triggered by just attention and allowance, you directly perceive the energetics that normally get masked by touch—and learn in your body that the medical system you grew up in doesn’t cover the whole story. Palpably encountering the field of Interbeing supports your development towards greater understanding and more possibility in healing.
Online appointments actually afford me a narrower window of information—but, paradoxically, that allows me to go deeper. When I’m not able to glean or transmit information through my hands, I have to do it all with my attention. This forces me to rely on intuition to a much greater degree. During online sessions, I’m more likely to perceive energetic patterns, receive intuitive guidance, and read past life information. Sometimes I even channel guides and ancestors. I love this aspect of those sessions!

I always perceive each person’s body as their personal ground zero for everything that ails them—whether that’s physically, emotionally, or in terms of belief, which shows up as German New Medicine ‘programs.’ It’s also the doorway for purely energetic patterns like miasms, strategies, past lives, and entities. But whatever the trouble is and no matter where it lodges, what gets displaced is the soul.
The way I see it, the body is a multidimensional nexus point with overlapping platforms for consciousness. Traumas disrupt one or more of those platforms—and in those places, the soul recedes, unable to resonate coherently through the layers. Resonant Attention (in any form) removes these traumas and seats the soul in the body more stably and comfortably. And the practice of applying Resonant Attention, in any form, is therefore Soul Tending. So that’s what I’m going to start calling my sessions, online and in-person. It just feels more accurate.
If you’re able to easily get to RI, look me up. Email me if you need a reference for someone doing Integrative Manual Therapy near you. And if you’re able to snag one of my online sessions (which I’ll put up in about a week or so), I can’t wait to see you!
Lastly, don’t forget that subscribers get invited to the group healing session I hold once a month. The next one will be July 6th at 10am eastern.
Love,
Stella
As I don’t know of anyone in Galway Ireland who practises resonant attention I will gladly settle for the online version and am very grateful for it. Love your photo
That squirrel looks like an old soul or maybe it saw a ghost. I love your description—yes, online allows less physical distraction and can be oh so clarifying! Love your work, Stella, and these communiques!
