tend | MEDICINE IN MOTION queries

+ What is energy medicine?

Energy Medicine is an umbrella term for a myriad of alternative healing modalities. Tend | Medicine in Motion utilizes two more specific Energy Modalities called Reiki and SRT. Energy Healing Therapy of all sorts has been proven to treat various health conditions.

REIKI

The Reiki system uses Universal Life Force Energy. Reiki is an ancient Japanese vibrational method using the seven vortexes or chakras to clear stagnation and welcome healing. REI is high intelligence that permeates everything, animate and inanimate. It is infinite in nature, all-knowing; KI is synonymous to Chi, Prana, Mana, Life Force Energy, Unconditional Love, Universal Life Force Energy. Reiki is not limited by the experience or ability of the practitioner; it cannot be misused and is always healing.

SRT

The SRT (Spiritual Response Technique) system works at your Soul Level, identifying and releasing stagnation. This stagnation may have to do with past lives, other dimensions of awareness or your subconscious mind (aka Akashic Records). A simple analogy offered by Master Teacher Jan Harris, states that your body is a hard drive and has numerous programs running simultaneously. Many of these programs are outdated and no longer serve you. SRT identifies corrupt files, toxic and outdated programs and releases them so that you may be reawakened at the cellular level.

+ HOW DOES IT WORK?

Energy Medicine is a method to transmit healing energy to the patient's body through the hands of a practitioner to restore or balance the body's energy field for better health. Other elements may be used to make necessary excavations and clearings, such as Releasing Statements. Typically the practitioner is a conduit, simply creating space and a container for your High Self Committee to do its work.

+ IS IT SPIRITUAL?

There is nothing overtly religious or dogmatic about Tend | Medicine in Motion philosophy or practice. In fact, the client gets to choose who, where, why and how they will be best supported. Any and all spirituality is derived from the client's beliefs. Hospitals offering Reiki Treatments: Mt. Sinai Hospital's Marvelle Koffler Breast Centre, Toronto; Princess Margaret Hospital (University Health Network) Toronto; Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Centre, Boston, MA; New York Presbyterian Hospital, NY; Yale New Haven Hospital, New Haven, Connecticut.

+ WILL I BE TOUCHED

Traditionally, Energy Medicine is light to no touch, rather the practitioner will use their hands in or around your energy fields and chakras. That being said, skin-to-skin contact has been proven to be resoundingly beneficial to both parties, at Tend | Medicine in Motion you will be asked and touch is often preferred and welcomed.

+ DO I HAVE TO TAKE MY CLOTHES OFF?

All clothes are kept on during every session. Please wear comfortable clothing — consider layering as one often gets slightly chilly when experiencing Energy Medicine.

+ CAN EVERYONE ACCESS THIS?

Tend | Medicine in Motion welcomes all identities and expressions and offers a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. Healing is an innate right, gift and source.

+ WHAT MIGHT I DO TO INTEGRATE MY SESSION?

Drink plenty of water on the day and days following your session. Nourish yourself with foods that feel good to you. Give yourself some time and space to reflect on what you experienced. Don't be in such a rush to get back to the usual structure of your day-to-day life and allow the session to integrate. You might go for a gentle walk outside in nature, meditate, have a soothing bath or shower and/or do some journaling to reflect on what you experienced. Often during or after a session you will receive insights, clarity or suggestions as to what you can focus on moving forward. It's up to you whether you choose to put those into practice.

+ HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE ENERGY MEDICINE?

The answer to this question is deeply personal. It varies human-to-human and situation-to-situation. If your seeking foundational transformation, book a mulit-session package. Contact me for details.
