Making your Therapy Work for You
 
Maintain energy levels and improve assessment skills with Yogic Touch Therapy
 
It is now statistically confirmed that complementary practitioners have a work life of approximately 5 years. Having been a practitioner for over 19 years, I have been asking myself why that might be so.
Talking with colleagues and participants, I am guessing that we often become complementary practitioners because we really enjoy the ease and freedom it promises. We are seeking a different lifestyle, a different way of being. But then maybe the reality of 'having to make money' comes home, and a certain pressure builds up.
 
Maybe we fall back into our usual way of operating. We get on with it and see as many clients as we can….
 
When working with people we ourselves need to be in a good space, continually taking care of ourselves, so we can handle the physical / energetic demands of this amazing profession. These are new parameters and stresses that need to be understood and encompassed.
 
Don't burn out, your chosen therapy can continue to be fun and enjoyable.
When we touch people, working with energy and body work, a thorough training prepares us for a certain degree of ongoing body contact. But how do you know - how do you ensure that you stay balanced, energised and in tune with your own needs at all times? Are you conscious, are you aware of what state your body is in - how much you can handle, and how to stay energised, stay protected and grounded? How do you assess that?
 
Learn how to take care of yourself.
Often practitioners come to me who are empty - tired - exhausted or sensitive. There are also still some practitioners who sort of boast: 'I have not had a holiday in over a year', ' I have worked 10 hours today'. If that sounds like you, then not only are you burning yourself out in the long run, you are not treating yourself holistically. You may want to know more how energy works.
 
Your work becomes effortless.
When touching others, not only can we pick up energy, aches and pains, but also emotions. There may be various reasons for this. For example: our own energy levels are low; or we empathise, and that can open us to our client's 'stuff'. So you may feel tired at the end of the day, not only because you have been working physically but also because you have 'picked up' stuff.
 
There may be other reasons why we are sensitively predisposed.
There are ways of preventing that from happening. One is to become more AWARE, to learn how to read the body signs, helping you to stay energised and alert.
