Heart Touch

Heart Touch is a unique modality which addresses underlying patterns within us that create imbalances in our body and life. These patterns can include anything and everything, such as pushing to hard at the gym, worry about the future, family patterns, health and relationship issues, etc., all of which are sometimes simultaneous manifestations of the same thing.

HT uses touch and words to increase recognition of your self-authority around these issues. You remain fully clothed and seated while I touch your back and, with the help of your body's consciousness, assist you to shift longstanding patterns and bring your body more into balance.

I will identify areas of held tension and lack of communication between the left and right sides of your body and between the upper and lower regions of your back. Often, your body will have a phrase or statement it would like to bring more fully into your consciousness. I'll ask you to say it out loud, which will tell your body the message has been received. The beauty of these phrases is that the words come from your body. You do not need to believe the statements such as "I am safe," “it is not my fault,” “I am not responsible for everything,” etc. for your body to respond by regulating its own balance. Patterns shift and move out of the body, and your body is then more relaxed, your mind free, and your emotion calm.

Heart Touch sessions are available in person both individually and in groups. Individual sessions generally last 45 to 60 minutes, and group sessions are scheduled for three hours in which 3 to 5 people are worked with directly. During group sessions, we find that most of our self-authority concerns are universal and everyone present benefits from saying some of the phrases out loud. Individual sessions are also available remote, over the telephone. I and other practitioners have exchanged phone sessions and we have found them to be as effective as sessions in person, so you do not need to be in the Charlottesville area to experience Heart Touch through Treat Yourself Right!

Aspects of Heart Touch can be worked into a massage therapy session, so a sense of the work before committing to a full session is an option. Heart Touch has increased my ability to "hear" what a client's body wants or needs in the moment and from time to time that does include saying a phrase or statement, so chances are you will have the opportunity to experience a bit of this exciting new work from Soul Support Systems if you so choose.

Responses to Heart Touch

I have received Heart Touch work from a several other HT facilitators both in person and over the phone. I continue to be amazed at how each session manages to gently whittle away at my rough edges where brushing up against the uncomfortable becomes easier. Some patterns I hold in my body do resurface from time to time, while others seem to have moved on through. By using the pathways of communication between my upper and lower back and my conscious awareness that I first had pointed out to me during a Heart Touch session, I have been able to hit my 'reset' button when I find myself out of alignment. For me, the breakdown point has always been recognizing when I'm off balance. With a stronger sense of what my center is, it has become easier to catch myself sooner.
