Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Welcome to the group, Trilsie... Things have been quiet here lately, so be sure to ask questions if you have them. I am a Reiki Master Teacher, and my co-author is a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner. In my former life I taught business communication at the university level. I am now spending most of my time teaching Energy Medicine and NLP. If you're interested, you can read more about me on the SCS Web site: www.scs-matters.com Enjoy, Joel -- ------ *Joel P.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thank you Joel for the welcome and link to your site. I have been exploring and enjoying the site and link outs. I'm looking forward to this group and it's discussions. I see I have a lot to learn. Being very new to some of the areas involved here, I'll most likely listen and learn for a while, before posing questions and risk being the group " dunce " . I do love a good discussion though, and most likely will end up jumping in, and ending up as comic relief for you at times. All I can say, is " please have mercy " .

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Harry, I am a Registered Radiologic Technologist. I retired 8 years ago. I am at level one Reiki. I have assisted in a couple healings over the past few years. I would love to advance levels in my Reiki, but I must admit, I've been lazy and procrastinated. Many life events, such as moving, retirement, family needs, has taken me off course and I'm just now getting back to " myself " and learning. I've joined this group, in hopes to learn more from sharing with other professionals in the various modalities working with the mind, body and spirit. I have not heard of the Trager methods and looked it up. It sounds fascinating. Do you work with amputee's and paralysis at all. Or is Trager more in the lines of Yoga with a chiropractic twist?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi Trilsie Thanks for your reply. It sounds like you've taken a bit of a 'Pause' to sort stuff out rather than procrastinated. Sometimes stuff just needs sorting. In the Trager community there is a joke that " Trager is the best kept secret in Bodywork " as nobody has heard about it. The Trager Approach is facinating and I have met some wonderful people who like myself and my partner Julie are walking the walk as well as talking the talk. Julie is making a living at this now and when we have a large enough client base I will be giving up my day job and doing it full time as well. Trager work is very gentle and very pleasurable and not like chiropractic. I have not worked with an amputee although there is no reason why I should not. If you have one that you could refer to me I would be delighted. I have worked with a couple of stroke victims and suffers of MS and Julie has a couple of ME clients. Julie is a British Wheel of Yoga teacher and I am an Aikido instructor. We both liken Trager to our other disciplines but this is only our personal experience. As all martial art and bodywork have common roots and links, there are similarities with Trager and other modalities. However I regard all disciplines in this field as a common language but with different accents. Our Trager Journey began in 2004 and I wish I had found it 20years ago. If you are ever in the Guildford area, come and have a session! I would be pleased to hear from you again. Regards Harry --- trils wrote: > Harry, > > I am a Registered Radiologic Technologist.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hi Joel Sorry for the delay in responding to your question. Some people in the Trager Community have said that the Trager Approach is the " best kept secret in bodywork " . Your question reinforces this and unfortunately it is all to often asked. It is not intentionally secretive, it's just that Trager Practitioners are good at bodywork and not so good at marketing. What is it all about? Well that is the big question. For the history and origin of the 'Work' please visit www.trager.co.uk or www.trager.com For me it was a bit of a revelation. I am an Engineer by trade, an Aikido practitioner of 30+years and a sceptic by nature. With my engineering head on I want facts and figures, I want proof that it works. With my martial arts head on I have to 'feel' it and see it to know it works. Well I have received both. As you will know the body is hard wired to recieve 'touch' and sensory input. I have received many different forms of bodywork but none have come close to my experience of Trager Work. If you ever visit Guildford, Surrey, England I would be pleased to offer you a session. Otherwise please find a practitioner in your area on the above websites and have a go. I promise you will enjoy the experience. Verbal descriptions fall far short of the experience. It's like reading a book then seeing the film. The film seldom comes close to the book. For me the esoteric elements of Trager Work are as important as the physical side and they are mutually supportive of each other. This parallels my experience of my Aikido practice. Dr Milton Trager Described this work as " being in a vast ocean of pleasantness " . However this description (for me) is only the tip of the ice berg. I probably have not come close to answering your questions but I hope it invites curiosity and prompts you to investigate further and find a Trager Practitioner close to you.

Before I'll have a chance to visit England, we'll need a new president and new economic policy. Right now the exchange rate makes travel difficult for most of us from the States. It would also help if we could once again make the world glad to have visitors from the U.S. I am sure that I would enjoy trading energy work and working out with you. My sensei is primarily Uechi-ryu, but he is also ranked in Aikido, so we spend some time working on Aikido techniques. I find that the more I study Energy Medicine and the martial arts, the more similarities I find between/among styles. I find it all interesting.... -- ___________________________ *Joel P.
