LEARNING ABOUT THE 'FRAMES' IN HANDS-ON THERAPY

LEARNING ‘FRAMES'

This essay focuses exclusively on the effective and ultimate techniques of ‘hands-on’ procedures. I will temporarily postpone/defer addressing the 'academic' issues, i.e., teacher inexperience, inadequate education, disingenuous and inappropriate motivation and behaviors, etc.

As in all the arts, to achieve the desired results as a professional, it is recommended to slow, even pause, the educational and experiential ‘frames’ which occur within each of our applications.

Occurring within our learning Akashic Record or spirit, these ‘frames’ are internal imprints and recordings of our experiential operations.

For survival and for the purpose of being able to reference at a future time, our brains naturally produce carbon copies of these 'frames'.

So that the brain stops producing carbon copies, this is also the reason why we want to stop a baby's hysterical crying as soon as possible.

Aside from the purpose of survival and for our brains to reference at a future time, these carbon copies also serve as replicas for our mind’s scholarly propensities to fulfill progressive learning, and again, to survive.

Accommodating an ‘akashic opening’ within several of the therapeutic learning ‘frames’, I have discovered a jewel.

Thirty years of full-time experience with thousands of treatments documented in the art of yoga massage shamanism, I am happy to share this valuable instructional ‘Jewel' with my esteemed colleagues.

Intuitively, I feel assured that students and other enthusiasts of transformational healing will appreciate this discovery and will reflect my exhilaration.

Oh, noble colleagues, for the art of expert practical therapy, herein, please accept this contribution of mine.

Located at the juncture where a practitioner transitions from one application to another is where this instructional ‘jewel’ is set.

Yet an even more precise position can be identified.

Getting Calibrated.

Distinguishing the moments between the new ‘position’ and the moments previous to ‘initiating the therapeutic intent’ is the more precise position, and this moment is of priceless therapeutic value.

For an expert practitioner, a Zen moment, a stylistic pause of yoga massage therapy can be savored in this moment.

Regrettably, the merging and loss of identity of these two moments is the more usual and commonplace procedure amongst neophyte, immature practitioners.

Frequently and unfortunately, in my earlier years of practice, my treatments also demonstrated no distinction or awareness between these two therapeutic moments.

The remarkable space that differentiates and segments the requirements of ‘being in a new position’ from the requirements of ‘applying the therapy’ dramatically supports an empowered professionalism of autonomous therapeutic value and must not be undervalued or overlooked.

For example, recently, a valued practitioner requested my commentary on a session he completed with me.

With all due respect offered to the talents he had accrued from his first lessons with me just three years earlier, my critique of him and his treatment was a targeted and direct, albeit firm, correction.

I offered this aspiring practitioner a correction, which included adjusting his awareness to accommodate the ‘space’ living between his ‘new base’ and the moment just previous to his ‘initiation of a therapeutic intention’.

In other words, while ignoring this valuable transformational Zen option and other positive availabilities, he had rushed blindly, as quickly as possible, to achieve full expression of the therapeutic asana, while ignoring the valuable Zen space happening between being in base-place and initiating his therapeutic intention.

Furthermore, the quality of negligent therapy demonstrated by his example removes the possibility of satiating the curative resolve and, even worse, his negligent demonstration will further exacerbate the internal craving.

In addition, his inferior example reveals that he had no understanding or sensitivity that there are connoisseurs of yoga massage therapy who have embedded and encoded in their brains a rich and deep appreciation of the ZEN MOMENTS, the priceless physical, emotional, and spiritual experience that naturally generates from the conscientious and momentary therapeutic pause just prior to offering the therapeutic intention..

Could the spirit that this practitioner was unfortunately exhibiting be included in the categories of grandstanding his ego, wasting time, negligence, and amateurish ignorance? Yes, it could

Connoisseurs of Yoga Massage Therapy

A cherished, even vital, ‘neurological reprogramming’ transpires for the fortunate receiver with this deliberate, conscientious ‘application-less pause’.

For the customary experience of serenity to be introduced into the treatment, an inspired therapist needs to respectfully pay heed to the moments and times that govern ‘getting calibrated’ and, progressively, to the moments and times encapsulated within the actual therapeutic initiative.
