Touching Held Memories
For years I have studied and worked with the Reiki Energy. For the past year I have extended my studies to include Touching Held Memories. I thought it would be important to share this unique form of healing with all of you who may be interested in learning about this form of energy work. This comes information comes from my teacher, Bruce Winkle http://elementsofhealingllc.com/ . Bruce is the director of the healing center called, Elements of Healing.
As we proceed on our personal life’s journey, we encounter traumas on physical, mental, emotional or spiritual levels (i.e., death of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of friends, injuries, every day stress and divorce). When these events occur, we attempt to keep going forward by burying the event thinking we will release it at a later time; more often than not never occurs.
With traditional massage and other body work modalities, we are trained to physically connect to the body and follow the physical aspects of the body, without understanding how to engage the energetic or cellar memories that are also involved.
In traditional energy work, such as Healing Touch and Reiki, we are taught how to connect to energy fields but our connection to the body is limited to sensing the imbalance between connection points. Unfortunately, many energy workers do not receive training on how to interact with the specifics of the different energy systems nor how to connect to cellar memories.
During my early years of energy work (Reiki, Healing Touch, and the adaption of the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine) with clients, specifically those who had or were recovering from breast cancer, I felt that I was not able to fully assist the release of their deeply held issues. These memories invariably impeded their full return to a harmonious state of being.
My challenge was to discover how to facilitate the release of held traumatized cellular vibrations on both the physical and energetic levels.
I have continued to study many healing traditions, as well as current medical research, to understand how the body and energy systems record traumas. One thing that continues to be evident is our cells are at the core of our held memories. Each cell has its own memory and is connected to other cells which are also holding the same memory. Ironically, as cells die off and are replaced by new cells, they transfer these memories to the new cells and so the cycle of held memories continues.
As a result of understanding that connecting to cellar memories and releasing the energetic components of held traumas is the major key in restoring a person’s vitality, I developed Touching Held Memories.
Touching Held Memories is a unique and powerful way of working with the body and its energy systems. It facilitates the release of deeply held memories, trapped in the tissues which have created imbalances in the energy flow of our bodies.
By combining the gentle connection of touch and the power of energy movement, many deeply held traumas can be cleared.
