For thousands of years, human beings have practiced refined techniques of mental focusing that are designed to change the habitual conditioning of the mind. In recent decades, modern science has dramatically confirmed what professional and Olympic athletes have long claimed—that the mind offers deep and lasting benefits for mental functioning, emotional health, as well as for physical health and wellness. Whether it’s mindfulness, meditation, creative visualization, or one of the many other mind-focusing techniques, I can teach you how to better embrace life’s every-changing impermanence, to live in equanimity with the inevitable ups and downs of being human, and to feel deeply connected to the whole of life.
Some of the practical benefits include:
- Marked and lasting reduction of stress
- Increased physical strength and performance
- Increased ability to focus and concentrate
- Clarity of thinking
- Freedom from detrimental patterns of thoughts and emotions
- Increased learning capacity and memory
- Greatly enhanced well-being and peacefulness
Mind-Body Wellness
can apply to all levels of emotional and physical health and wellness. The mind-body connection focuses on the
interconnectedness of a person as a whole, and not just the separate parts of
the body. The mind-body connection can
be instrumental in revealing the emotional, mental, and spiritual elements of
physical disease. Becoming aware of the possible causes of an ailment could be
the catalyst for self-healing. This work is meant to complement prescribed
medical treatment and not replace it.
Mind-Body Healing
Visualization and Guided Imagery is a program specifically designed to
complement current medical treatments, based on the concept that your body and
mind are connected. Holding on to old and limiting beliefs can produce negative
health consequences while positive thoughts are essential to producing improved
health results. A customized Visualization and Guided Imagery program is an aid
on the journey toward physical and emotional healing, and patients utilizing
these techniques have been known to have less pain, less stress, require less
pain medication, and enjoy a more rapid recovery. It is often used during
pre-and post-surgery, during cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and
radiation, and as a complement to physical therapy.
Spiritual Healing
recognizes that our thoughts, feelings, actions, memories, experiences, and
bodies are all one interrelated flow of energy, even impacting each other in
thousands of ways every day. Every thought and feeling we have resonates
throughout our bodies. If we experience trauma, sadness, abuse, fear, or
abandonment, our body registers this emotional content. When we are out of balance emotionally or
mentally, this manifests itself in our bodies and creating balance is our inner
work. This work most powerfully consists of identifying and releasing blocked
emotional, mental, and spiritual energy which is manifesting as pain, hurt,
anger, broken relationships, poor communications, repeating confrontations, disease,
etc.
Hands-on Healing,
also known as Energy, Radiant, or Spiritual Healing, has been practiced by many
cultures for thousands of years. One
form of hands-on-healing is the ancient practice of Reiki. The application of this practice is
encouraged by the medical profession for their patients and is used by many
hospitals to complement in-patient care.
I’ve been a hands-on-healer most of my adult life and am
also a certified Reiki Master Healer. I incorporate this gentle energy work and
guided imagery into my spiritual healing practice as well as to patients and
staff at Emerson Hospital in Concord, Massachusetts where I’m a member of their Reiki and Integrative
Medicine Team.
