Sacred Healing Touch
I’m lying on a massage table in a treatment room. There’s a pillow supporting my knees. I’m draped with a quilt. Everywhere the eye turns there’s beauty – soft color on the walls, gentle art, nature treasures lovingly displayed. But my eyes are closed as the healer begins.

Anything is possible.
This is a spiritual healing.

The body is the core of our earthly home.
It hosts our moments of pleasure, and our pain as well. Like houses and hearths, beds and bathtubs, our bodies surround us, protect us, provide for us, and do their best to create balance as the world undulates around us.
A spiritual healing opens the window,
letting out stale air, and welcoming in the energies of nature.
