Hi Michael and Shakopeh,

Your discussion on healing methods is fascinating. I am a firm believer in Reflexology - learned it on my own back in the 70s and have used it consistently with patients and families ever since. Shiatsu and Reiki really intrigue me as well. When I use to practice as a nurse (I teach nursing now at a local university) I used to apply Therapeutic Touch to my clients (and taught their families how to use it as well - they found it very empowering).

One thing I admire about Therapeutic Touch is that it is so accessible for people. As you know, it came out of and is very associated with the nursing community. It illustrates that energy healing doesn't have to be associated with anything too 'mystical' for some people.

And it seems pretty easy to learn (if you take the time), so it's a good self care technique as well. And that's what I like about Reflexology. Reflexology has a real history of self care. And that's empowering for people. That's also what I hope my writing will be, empowering for people. Maybe that's what you do, June, in your tarot and other teaching (it sounds like it's what you do in your readings as well, from what I've read of you... great materials by the way).

And like I said, my wife does Reiki. I think she is more sensitive to energy than I am. I feel it sometimes, but I think I'm a little slow to feel it. I think my path is more in line with a balance of the more 'tactile' therapies with energy work. That's where Reflexology and Shiatsu come in, they're both energy modalities, but they are very touch/pressure oriented. Anyway, enough of my rant... like I said, interesting stuff.

Oh, and I'm interested in that book, I think it's called 'Tarot and the Healing Heart' (it's on June's Amazon book list). I had it out of the library before, but I think I need to learn more about tarot basics first. I'd be interested in anyone's experience of it.

Oh, and beautiful websites, June. I haven't had a chance to check them out thoroughly, but the artwork is stunning. Have you ever created your own tarot deck? I'd love to see that. Be well.

I began studying accupressure & moxibustion about 7 years ago so the shiatzu thing just kinda fit right in. I've been doing energy healing since the early 70's. I went into nursing in 89 so i get to use what i learn and combine it with energy often <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />The shiatsu if you decide to persue it will fit right in with what you are doing. Can your wife pass attunements for reiki yet?
I'll be looking for your newsletter over the weekend.

June! i love the art work in Rajunas refuge. I cant get the links to work in the healing & crystal sections but the others worked just fine. I wish i had more time to read but i'll read as much as i can . Very interesting stuff from the little i have read.
Is theraputic touch anything like reiki without the symbols? I've heard of it but dont really know what it is.
Reflexology is wonderful. I went to a chinese massage therapist who did tuina but also did reflexology on the feet... Gosh it was like walking on clouds when he was finished with me.
I'm so glad i registered here. Although its a bit late for the contest it turned into a very nice chat.
Thank you Michael & June for such interesting conversation

My wife is a level 2 (practioner), and hasn't felt guided to teach/attune yet, so has not gone on to level 3 (master). She's also an MFA in creative writing. She's got an short article lined up for this 'Mother's Day' newsletter-- our first collaborative effort in years (except for baby Rafael of course ;-)-- it's about mothers writing their birth stories. It should be pretty cool. She wants to teach a class about it. If we get the newsletter out this weekend it will be Sunday afternoon/night. Thanks for your interest.

Hi Michael,

I too signed up for your newsletter - it sounds very interesting. Your wife also sounds wonderful. Funny, a couple of days ago I had a "picture" in my mind of you and your wife doing a lot of work for the betterment of humankind together in the coming years. You both have very light caring and powerful energy around you when I focus on you as a couple.
