Research on Energy

“I watched this T.V. show hosted by Alan Alda about research being done on people doing energy work with one another.” She was standing by the door, leaning against the frame as she often does after delivering the weekly 80 PSI oxygen tank.

It was just after 8 AM, and I’d only just risen from the slumbers of my bed minutes earlier. She, on the other hand, had been up for hours, delivered her youngest to school, and was now en route home to study for a Chemistry final.

I made it a point to face her directly and asked, “Yeah? Was it done professionally, as in double-blind study and all?

She went on to explain that it wasn’t, and that the contenders in this particular game were both experienced in the field of energy work and not. The conclusion, because everyone who was on the receiving end “said” they benefitted in a positive manner, was that energy work was a placebo effect.

Or something like that.

I probably should have written this when I thought to do so 10 hours ago because I can’t remember the details. I do recall saying that it was a nice gesture, and that it deserves the same protocol other venues receive in being researched. I also remembered a really cool fact, which is this: Some things are sacred, and you just won’t figure them out because they aren’t supposed to be revealed. How energy works in relationship, the primary word being relationship, is one of them. This is only my opinion; I could be wrong.

Time is such an illusion

I just realized this site has only been up for a few days. I had momentum behind it in preparation, so once launched; it slowed down in a way. Whatever. It’s all good. I’m still learning the ropes on how to respond to blog entries. I’m grateful I have others who can show me. When I founded Stillpoint, there were no computers, so this cyberspace world is a learning curve for me.

The Day After Launching

Don’t I sound like I know what I’m talking about? I got all kinds of excited about doing this. I still am. Energetically, belonging to this cyber space community feels better than I thought it would. I had been resisting getting on the page and expanding in this way because I am a “touchy feely” person. I feel sad that we are losing touch, we don’t even make phone calls anymore; we text and email each other! We need to be touched physically, as well as emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. They even made a movie called Crash, which was about how people literally crash into each other in order to feel something. And then there are people that don’t know that they’re getting inadequate bodywork, coupled with people that don’t know that they’re giving it inadequately.

If you don’t have an opportunity to be touched on a regular basis, any touch by a massage therapist or body worker is going to feel good. This doesn’t necessarily mean it is the most impactful. When you’re thirsty, a glass of water is good, but if you need champagne, you’ve got to find the right practitioner. This means spending a little money and shopping around. Somebody can say “oh they’re great, you should see them”, and that person’s body may have benefited from what they received because they are a water person; you could be a champagne person, and may be disappointed.

I am definitely a glass of champagne. I can be water, if that’s what you need, but my forte is champagne.

My Debut

This is so exciting! I have joined the world as of December 4, 2009. Hello, world!

According to my business consultant, Shalini, having a website is like standing in a corn field. At least I’m in the corn field! That is about as public as I feel like being right now.
