Is sacred touch for me?

Sacred Touch offers a pathway to release deep-seated trauma and to connect more consciously with our higher spiritual potential as human beings. This gentle practice supports the body’s natural capacity to process and release stored trauma, providing a space for profound healing without the need for verbal processing, as is common in traditional counseling.

In Sacred Touch, we learn to be present with the intense energies held in our bodies. By gently allowing these sensations to surface and discharge, we create more space to meet life's challenges. This process offers not only mental clarity but also a release of physical sensations, helping us to feel more whole and integrated. As old trauma patterns begin to shift and transform, a new sense of freedom and ease emerges.

Beyond trauma healing, Sacred Touch can lead to deep meditative states. When we open ourselves to the mystery of this experience, it’s possible to enter dream-like states of profound presence, while remaining fully awake. Some clients encounter divine forms or visions. During a session with my teacher, Charles Ridley, I experienced being both Buddha and Ramana Maharshi. One client shared that he felt as if he became the entire city of Eugene. These experiences invite us into the expansive possibilities of Sacred Touch, where body, mind, and spirit unite in a deep sense of peace.
