Healers.

I was recently asked about the healers I have listed on my blog, or more specifically, Teresa and Meghan Bowen.
Teresa owns The Bo Tree, a yoga studio in Davis where I practice yoga. She is encouraging, generous, and committed to the elimination of cancer in my body. Teresa, a disciple of alternative healing, is a practitioner of Color puncture. Colorpuncture involves focusing colored light on acupuncture (and other) points on the skin using a hand-held light tool with specially designed, interchangeable glass rods which emit different colors of light through a focused tip. Each color consists of different wavelength frequencies of light, which communicates different energetic information. Apparently, scientists are now discovering that light is actually the medium by which cells communicate and it is at the very basis of many body functions. This system is believed to energize powerful healing impulses in our physical and energy bodies. Teresa has not only opened my eyes in educating me on this practice, she has generously given me many colorpuncture sessions over the course of my cancer treatments to facilitate healing.
Meghan, Teresa’s daughter, is a teacher at The Bo Tree. I am not even sure she is aware of the affect she has had on me as a healer. There have been numerous times when I would drag myself to class without the energy level to participate fully, though my commitment to the practice was present. During vinyasa flow, I could not always finish the sequences as my energy level was compromised. As well, my mind can wander and (rather than being present) I get stuck on an array of emotionally draining topics. Perhaps sensing my physical or emotional state (and possibly not even conscious of it), Meghan has placed her hands on me as I retreated to child's pose or savasana, causing my tears to flow. This is usually quite surprising to me having had little indication I was holding on to the stuff that has poured out in this healing release.
It's all good and I am grateful to both of them.
