The term Energy Medicine, or energy work, is not part of the larger American culture, so can benefit from some explanation. The energy body is commonly understood (in part) as the aura and chakras. The energy forming the energy body is in and around the physical bodies, and is called chi or prana. Our body, emotions, mind and spirit are all intertwined with the energy body, and so are affected by energy work. This work offers a greater sense of well-being, clarity, and connectedness, as well as an avenue to address physical problems, life stresses, and, most notable, life transitions. It is an exciting way to help people and I am blessed with the opportunity to work in this way.
Traditional cultures
Much of Robbin's work is based on the teachings of the healer Reverend Sue Greer, to whom she was apprenticed for three years. It draws on traditions from various cultures including Native Americans, the Tibetan Bon tradition, Egyptian wisdom, and on Rev. Greer’s lifetime of learning as a healer. It uses the energy and power of the elements, the medicine wheel, the breath, sound, color, light, resonance, sensation, and much more.
Reiki
Reiki is a form of energy work that brings universal energy through the practitioner to the client. It is a simple elegant healing practice that can have great impact. In Reiki, we believe that there is intelligence in each person that knows about health and the way to health. Reiki touches into this source, giving it resources to address problems in ways that only this source can know.
What a session is like?
An energy work session is held with the client lying on a massage table, fully clothed, except for shoes. It involves light touch and times of no touch at all. Robbin also combine energy work with other physical modalities. Every session is different. It is an adventure for both client and therapist, as both tap into the wisdom of the body/mind/spirit.
What some clients have received from Robbin's energy medicine work.
- relief from pain,
- greater ease and wisdom for moving through life transitions,
- insight into current dilemmas or what is of emerging importance in their lives,
- a sense of clearing,
- understanding and feeling connections among their mental, physical and emotional selves.
