“Calming Restless Agitation” An Article By Ann Seckinger, CHTP

c. Jeri Lawson 2012 All Rights ReservedAnn Seckinger is a Healing Touch Practitioner, the Director of Healing Touch California and a Chaplain. She has written several articles about her Healing Touch sessions that I have found very inspiring. Here is one short article on how she used Healing Touch to comfort a woman during her final days in hospice.

I have to mention again how wonderful it is to be a part of such a gifted community of healers.  I am continually learning from other practitioners.  Enjoy Ann’s story.

Healing Touch Supports Client Going Through Chemotherapy and Radiation

This week’s post is a testimonial from one of my recent clients.

“Jeri was instrumental in helping me get through chemo and radiation when I was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Her gentle healing touch helped me enormously with the side effects of treatment, and consequently I was able to carry on with almost all of my regular activities, including chasing around my three young children! I visited Jeri the evening after each chemo session, and once a week during my daily radiation. I felt exponentially better immediately after each session, and I truly believe that my successful completion of treatment was due in large part to Jeri’s help.”

A Kind and Healthy Way to Feel Grounded After A Healing

Sometimes Healing Touch sessions can feel very subtle. Sometimes Healing Touch sessions can feel quite profound and life changing. In the last few weeks healings have been more on the dramatic side and many of my clients have been staying in an altered space for a longer period of time after the session ends.

This is actually wonderful, except that with our modern lifestyle we many times have to schedule our deep transformational opportunities between stressful work meetings and picking up the kids after school. Even though I book my clients two hours apart, that sometimes is just not enough time after the healing for clients to become grounded enough to get in the car and drive safely.

As I hinted in my post “Getting In Your Body”, an effective way to become more present is to eat some chocolate. I used to have sugary milk chocolate to give my clients (which really worked), but I felt uncomfortable because sugary chocolate is just not that healthy. I was also eating a lot of the chocolate myself.

I have found Kind bars to be the perfect grounding snack after an intense healing session. My favorite bar – Almond Walnut Macadamia + Protein – has 10 grams of protein, tastes great, is gluten-free and uses only “ingredients you can see and pronounce”. Says so right on the box. I also eat them between sessions and feel good about it.

I usually pull out the Kind Bars only when I feel my client is too spaced out to drive. So if you come for a healing and I don’t offer you a bar, just ask for one. I buy them by the case now.
