<p> </p>
<p>When someone experiences emotional or physical trauma, illness, chronic stress, surgery, suppressed or negative feelings, this causes “energy blocks” in the body, affecting our health and well being. Dr Norm Shealy states-”all psychological/emotional problems are based in anger, guilt, anxiety or depression from past traumas; even slight traumas in our past can have devastating consequences.”</p>

<p>What I thought was a "normal" sensation for massage therapists is turning out to be not-so-normal. Right after school, I began working at a spa. The more I practiced, the more I found myself "listening" to my client's bodies.

<p>What I thought was a "normal" sensation for massage therapists is turning out to be not-so-normal. Right after school, I began working at a spa.

<p>If I had any wandering thoughts, like thinking about what I was doing later that night or over the weekend, I would lose my concentration and the flow would be broken. The same could be said if I had a chatty client. In my head, I would sort of tell the client "shhhh", because I couldn't hear their body properly.</p>
<p>I have asked other therapists if they experience the same things, and surprisingly I get a lot of funny looks :( I didn't want to toot my own horn and call myself "gifted", but this doesn't seem to be as normal an occurrence as I originally thought.</p>
<p>My question here is, what is it exactly that I'm doing? Is there a specific modality I should look into? Reiki, polarity, shiatsu...? Also, I find that some days I can tap into this fairly easily, and other days I struggle intensely. My clients can feel the difference between the two, so I feel like I let them down when I don't deliver a spirited massage. I meditate, rest and ground myself between each client, but some days it just doesn't work. Is there something else I should do?</p> Can "Pre-Existing Attitudes" Affect Research?tag:massageprofessionals.com,2009-12-21:2887274:Topic:520772009-12-21T02:29:25.730ZGerry Bunnellhttps://massageprofessionals.com/profile/GerryBunnell
When research results from those in favor of specific modalities are positive and results being presented by those in opposition state just the opposite, who are therapists going to believe?<br />
<br />
How do you feel the researcher's predisposed attitude affects the study? Are therapists as likely to accept the results knowing this, either way?<br />

Should institutions financially support studies on both sides, if it has not been researched enough for a definitive decision? What about when researchers just…

Personally I do Jin Shin Jyutsu self help on a daily basis, take morning walks with our family dog & do my best to squeeze in a morning meditation, once everyone is gone for the day.

We are planning a <b>Festival Conference on Energy Work</b>. It is in the beginning stages of planning and I would like to hear energy workers opinions on what classes and who they would like to spend the two-day event with. It will be a lot of fun!<br />
