February 2007: Taking a Healing Touch Level 5 ... - Energy Magazine

Greetings from Cynthia Hutchison
Healing Touch Program Director
Welcome to the February issue of Energy Magazine…
Just yesterday I returned from a ten day visit to the Hawaiian islands where a Level 5 class that I taught was sandwiched
by a few days on either end for exploring this beauteous land. I gratefully embraced some quality downtime and an opportunity
for adventure and healing. Taking time for self-care is a major principle in the development of the Healing Touch
Practitioner so the ten days without a computer was a welcome change and respite.
One of my most treasured experiences occurred as I was leaving a quiet, pristine beach with 20 foot magnificent waves to
drive to the airport for the departure back to Colorado. I said to my friend who was walking ahead of me for this (literally)
last minute of my time on the beach “Oh, I wish I had a container to take some sand home with me”. Beverly was just fifteen
feet in front of me leading the way back to the parking lot. In less than thirty seconds, she stopped and starting laughing
out loud as I approached her with curiosity. I followed her eyes as she looked straight down to her feet to see a one gallon
clear plastic bag ¾ buried under the sand generously brimming over with the beautiful tan-colored pure wet sand which
was being washed over by the waves. My request was literally answered in approximately thirty seconds, not only with the
container, but with the contents already supplied of what I wanted the container to hold. This event was the final exclamation
mark of a life-enhancing ten days in this nurturing, etheric group of magical islands. I gleefully dug the bag out of the
sand, released part of its contents and resealed the bag for travel back to Boulder, Colorado.
I wish to impart to you the message the bag of sand had for me….Out of joy, gratitude and sincere desire for fullness of
life and experience of beauty, express your heart’s wishes to “the Universe” (or whatever word works for you) and be open
to surprises and answered prayers of unexpected and abundant dimensions…
As I read this month’s articles of Energy Magazine I perceived the same themes I associate with my “bag of sand” story.
Each author in writing about how HT changed his/her life was open to life’s offerings, finding lessons, beauty, truth and goodness
in people, things and situations and each described surprise gifts that we know come to those with an open heart, mind
and body. Thank you to Judy, Anne, Dave, Jackie, Marilee and Michaela for your inspiring stories of Healing Touch.
