involved with showcasing
our Healing Hands of Universal Love. Heather Ding has returned to California,
but a number of the New York City chapter members have volunteered continuously
at St. Vincent.
Out of that volunteer experiences the program has evolved into the Stress
Management Integrated Clinic. The Clinic is part of the Behavior Health
Department. Twice a week, the clinic offers free of charge various healing
modalities to those people in the community in need to deal with the various
stress related symptom arising from the events of 9/11. The main component of
the clinic is anchored by the offering of ear acupuncture treatment, other
modalities of complement energy work such as reiki, johrei, feldenkrais,
massages, polarity, cranial sacral and reflexology as well as healing hands are
offered.
For myself in the 4+ years since my association with the clinic, I usually will
see about 10 clients each time. The most common reactions shared by the
receivers of healing hands are the sense of relaxation and general well being
from the experience. For those who are extremely fatigue the experience can
often put them into a gentle slumber or a quick energy recharge. Occasionally I
will have an emotional response from the receivers. One time a young woman
cried softly while I gave her a session of healing hand. Upon completion I
asked if she will share with me what transpired. She told me she was about to
be evicted from her dwelling and there was money problem at hand. She fell very
helpless and hopeless, the crying was an outlet of those feeling. However, she
also felt there was hope and a belief that she can cope with the situation at
hand. Another time a client who has lost her father recently unexpectedly in an
auto accident was able to have a good cry that previously was denied to her. I
think that when I offered my services of Healing Hand I send out my blessings
and offer my unconditional positive regards to the individual in front of me. I
believe that intention is received each time. The manifestation of result of
such interaction may differ from person to person.
Looking back to my overall experience, I feel that my own reaction has also
evolved. At first when I offered the healing hands services it was a compassion
ministry to taking care of people who were less fortunate than myself. From
that experience I learned to appreciate all that I have been blessed with. As
the time progress I find giving Healing Hands was a great way towards my
personal cultivation. While performing Healing Hands I become almost in a
meditated state whereby I become inner directed, centered and very resonated
with my spirit. It is during these times I feel oneness with the universe and
totally fulfilled.
Love and Light,
