Energy Healer Helps Boulder Therapist With Posture And Unresolved Grief
Length of time in care:
October 2011 to August 2015
What brought you to the BioSoul Integration Center?
I met Jay at the Louisville Farmer’s market this summer. I was there with my husband pushing chocolate samples on passers-by. Jay came by and tried the samples. I remember him savoring each piece carefully. He said one of the varieties made him feel happy.
Then he shared what he was offering: free healing sessions right there at the Farmer’s Market. I took him up on it because, as a former gymnast, I have some degenerative issues in my thoracic spine, neck and joints.
I had worked with a chiropractor in Illinois before moving back to Boulder, and I was ready to find someone to help support me in this way. He came along at just the right time, and the subtle work he did with me that day spoke not only to my heart, but also to my body, as my nervous system started responding to the work immediately.
What results have you experienced?
When I first started working with Jay, we talked about my posture and what it said about me. It said I had gripped down on my femininity, that I had given myself a masculine spine to manage the athleticism required by the intense gymnastic workouts I put myself through for 8 ½ years. My spine told us that I have also been curling around my pain and unresolved grief, that I’ve been storing my emotions in the contortions of my spine. This made a lot of sense to me, and as we’ve worked I’ve felt huge changes taking place, not only in my physical body but also in my emotional body. I can feel my heart opening, in fact, there have been times when I felt like my chest was breaking apart. One night I cried for hours after watching a movie which hit me in that space of unresolved grief. I lay down on a pillow, my heart open to the sky and cried. It felt incredible! And this is only one example.
Why do you continue to receive care?
It could seem crazy to someone on the outside looking in on my process. I’ve had melt downs, and I’ve woken up in the middle of the night with pulsing pain in old injuries. I’ve also had huge breakthroughs. I have been feeling my body healing and my nervous system reorganizing. It hasn’t been comfortable, and there is still plenty of work to be done but, for the first time, I feel my body healing.
I continue doing this work because I feel more myself, and I feel more feminine. I feel more competent in my professional work and my personal relationships. I feel like I am growing into my body, and I know this is just the beginning!
What experiences do you enjoy most at the BioSoul Intgration Center?
There are two things I love most about this work. One: the way my body tingles in response to the healing touch Jay intuits. His open heart touches me exactly where I need it, and tingles rush up and down my spine, sometimes through the top of my head and down to my toes. It’s incredible! Two: I love the talks Jay and I have about what he senses going on. I know this work is effective because every time we talk, what he hears my body saying is right on. I am a talk therapist. I work with teens and their families. I feel like what Jay does is talk to my body. And, to be honest, my body is a lot smarter than my mind. So, now I am learning to listen to my body as well. And I’m sure it’s only going to get better from here.
