The Healing Catalyst
Welcome
Issues in Your Tissues is a book about becoming more whole through stories, shared wisdom and exercises that help you integrate and realign physical, emotional, mental and spiritual parts of yourself. It explores emotion as a key factor in pain, illness and dis-ease and what you can do to alleviate the symptoms you experience.
We all experience fear, sadness, anger, and joy but we don't always have an appropriate outlet for them.
Where does the energy of unshed tears go?
What about aches and pains that don't go away or come and go without apparent cause.
Who doesn't have stress these days? What are the physical ramifications of stress and what can we do about them?
Issues in Your Tissues answers these and many more questions, plus gives you insight and tools to help you make healing connections in your own body.
Your body continues to experience physical symptoms as long as you carry the emotional “charge” or vibration associated with them. Your bones may have knitted back together and you may have regained physical function, but if you have not also released the sadness or anger or fear in those tissues, your body will continue to let you know there are still issues to work on. The trick is recognizing your symptoms as an indication that there may be something non-physical to heal and then letting your body guide you to a solution.
What is a Healing Catalyst? In chemistry, a catalyst is the agent that causes a reaction but is not specifically part of it. In a bodywork session, I don't do the healing - that's up to you, your body and the divine - but I can help you make connections that set your healing in motion. I intuitively listen to what your body is asking for via pain and other symptoms. I then use my skill and experience to interpret that asking into terms your mind can understand and apply. Often it's simply a matter of reassuring and relaxing your mind so that it gets out of the way for your body to heal itself.
My goal with my book is to help more people make those connections in their own bodies - and feel better.
Over the 35+ years I've been doing bodywork, I found I say the same things to people over and over - things we have forgotten in our modern rush through life. We've learned to live in our heads, largely detached from our bodies and the information they give us about how to be wonderfully healthy. We go to doctors to ask questions about what's ailing us yet the answers are already there, in our tissues, if we but remember how to hear them.
You can get many of the benefits of an intuitive bodywork session by reading Issues in Your Tissues. You can use the tools I give you in conjunction with bodywork or use them entirely on your own. You can return to it again and again as new layers of understanding reveal themselves. Plus, the book costs a fraction of what a massage would cost!
The book has stories from my years of healing work to illustrate my intuitive approach to bodywork. It's like sitting at the feet of an old healer telling stories that say, “This is what it can look like. You can heal this way, too.” The stories help you make connections between the tension in your body and the emotional issues that may underlie them. You see how you might also open up to shed your energetic “armor” and it gives you indirect permission to do so. The results can be amazing. Professional massage therapists will appreciate the candid recounting of sessions as a touchstone for their own work and as confirmation that we’re finally ready to discuss intuitive bodywork openly.
