Expanding my teaching repertoire to include live streaming yoga classes was almost unthinkable 6 months ago when I felt adding another class would be a challenge. I am very grateful for the encouragement and assistance from DDY. What a joy to work with this crew!
This post is also directed to the loyal and dedicated yoginis for coming with me on this journey through the muddy water. Thank you!
The sadness I feel about the Covid restrictions deepens as I contemplate the changes it has and will bring to the concept of touch. From vital and life affirming to possible fear and avoidance.
Live-streaming the yoga classes and various meeting sites have blunted the edge of isolation but I am someone that requires human touch. The elder population is often starving for gentle touch. Isolation protocols, although absolutely necessary, put an extra burden on the sick and dying. Instead of being able to be supportive and caring, family might feel like they are helpless to visit because they don't want to risk exposing Grandpa.
Prayers and thoughts may seem woefully inadequate in the face of such misery and sadness. A big part of our coping mechanisms for dealing with grief involve close sharing , compassionate touch, and speech. I believe the compassionate efforts we make everyday for ourselves, our families, friends, community and the wider world are being tested during this present crisis. We may not see how those compassionate efforts exponentially expand to unite the human race for it's highest good but we can rest in the surety that focusing on the hope and peace of the mundane, backyard beauty in summer and fall really do shape the world.
To lighten your perspective: Conjure powerfully with Intention.
Conjure has roots in Latin: to pray by something holy, to affect or produce, to summon up, imagine.
Remote Healing Touch is a regular part of the Monday Restorative live streaming class. My certifying organization, Healing Beyond Borders has been offering and promoting long distance healing for many years. Some practitioners use it regularly for patients that are unreachable otherwise. I have traded and documented Remote HT treatments with another CHTP colleague for 5 years. Currently there is little research done specifically to determine the effective mode of action of Remote Healing Touch vs Guided Meditation. Certified Healing Touch Practitioners (CHTP) document sessions and consistently refer this data back to Healing Beyond Borders. Participating in these sessions takes an active role in furthering our knowledge of energy work and its many benefits.
Personal Remote Healing Touch sessions are now available by appointment. please go to my contact page to book a session.
