The Unrecognized Power of Touch

Oct. 31, 2005 - Touching Awareness

The words "Touching Awareness" may not make any sense to you. However, I just returned from a weekend with my long-time teachers, Drs. Arny and Amy Mindell, founders of Process Work and internationally renowned teachers. Through powerful awareness exercises I experienced deep ways to deal with difficulties by discovering and bringing in what he calls"The Big U." (Go to aamindell.net for more info.)

In all the various "energy psychology" healing work I've experienced, none of it can be accomplished without the use of our touch system, which includes movement and feeling the emotions and signals within our body, as well as physical touch. Waking up, individuation, enlightenment, whatever you want to call the becoming of our greatest self, means first of all, we must FEEL. Our intention to pay attention allows us to be aware and heal so much. Moment by moment, we can become a "new, revised edition."

I love the notion of a "new, revised" me! Think of it. Our bodies really do renew themselves, so nurturing that renewal through touching awareness is especially powerful.

Great stuff, Paula! Thank you.

You're right, Paula, touch is essential. I never thought of touch being linked to feeling but of course it is. Without a touch there is nothing to feel. Even emotionally we feel what we touch mentally. I also never thought about Reiki being based in touch (since no physical touching occurs) but it is totally about energetic touch since it is all about feeling energy.
