Authorial Magazine - BookExpo + BookCon 2019 Edition

While this list is not comprehensive
in any sense, examples of energetic
bodywork include craniosacral therapy,
energetic massage, polarity therapy, shen
therapy, Reiki, Feldenkrais, Alexander
technique, and therapeutic touch.
Acupuncture and Emotional Freedom
Technique (EFT) are also forms of
energetic bodywork but use physical
touch. Some of these are hands-on
healing and some are hands off the
body. Acupuncture uses small needles,
and EFT involves tapping. While you
must find a practitioner to perform
acupuncture, you can learn EFT by
watching a YouTube video. With the
internet today, information on any of
these modalities is one search away. To
reiterate, the examples I list here are
just some suggestions to pique your
interest—just a sample of the modalities
available right now on the planet.
Energetic bodywork is one of the most
powerful tools available for healing,
raising your vibration, and birthing
your dreams.
• Meditate. Meditation is an energy
practice. This can take many forms,
and there is much literature written
on the subject. Meditation does
not necessarily mean that you sit
in a lotus position until you have
no thoughts. There are hundreds of
ways to meditate including walking
and dancing meditations. Guided
meditation is a great way to begin
meditating. A search on YouTube
for guided meditation will yield over
2,000,000 videos.
• Take salt baths with essential oils.
Taking a bath with magnesium
sulfate or bath salts and essential oils
is an energy practice. The salts clear
negative energy, and the essential
oils bring in high vibrational energy.
In reality, any practice shifts you on
all levels. Yoga might be considered a
physical practice, but it also lifts your
energy, easily opening your mind and
heart. Many of the heart practices are
also physical practices. Each of us is
one being living through a physical
body. We are guided by our hearts, led
by our minds, and connected to our
souls. Breaking these practices down
into categories is a way for our minds to
digest information. They are all part of
the practice of raising your vibration—
the full circle of managing your energy.
Feed your body,
feed your mind,
feed your heart,
feed your energy,
pull a weed or two
from time to time.
Feed your body with practices that
enhance your physical well-being. Start
simple. Choose one practice and try it.
Make one change in the physical. Add
one activity. Add one stream of positive
mental food. Add one heart practice.
Explore energetic healing practices to
determine which ones work best for
you. It could be as simple as learning
to meditate for fifteen minutes in the
morning or trying energetic bodywork.
Repeat daily to make these changes
a practice. Once your energy starts to
move, your life will change. Expect your
dream to happen.
The Matrix Teachings is a comprehensive
view of the quantum field and a guide
to dream birthing. Mary has been
practicing energetic bodywork for almost
three decades. Her book is inspired from
working with combat veterans who have
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. For
