A couple of weeks ago I went to see a Shaman healer in Los Angeles. The truth is, I’ve been visiting James Hyman sporadically for the past 10 years. But because I was so concerned about what people would think, I kept my powerful tool a secret.
I originally went to see James Hyman for Deep Emotional Release Bodywork because I had tried talk therapy but it seemed that no matter how much I talked, there was always this sense of panic, fear and emptiness in the pit of my gut. I literally felt stuck.
In my first session with James I released more emotion than I even knew existed. The sense of freedom was so great that I told one friend, then another, then another. After having every single one of them come back permanently renewed, I can no longer keep a secret. In fact, I’ve even begun the process to become an Emotional Release Bodywork practitioner myself.
Now, I want to clarify what I mean when I say “something unusual” happened.
The first time I went to see James, he did a variety of energy healing techniques and at some point lightly touched my upper right shoulder. I sobbed and howled although he was barely touching me. I didn’t know what was happening.
A few months later, I had a heart to heart with my mom and some how she admits to me that the reason my right arm was in a cast at age 2 is because my step-dad broke it. (See earlier blog for details).
It was much later that I had an ah-ha.
The same arm my step-dad broke is the arm I howled about when James did his healing. Is it possible that my body stored the trauma of my broken arm for 40 years?
I will tell you one thing. I have no conscious memory of the event. So, even after years of talk therapy and 12-step groups and all that good stuff, I never talked about my broken arm because I didn’t even know it existed, but evidently, my body did.
Since that healing, a burden was lifted from me. I feel lighter and freer. This is why I want to share this work with others. It is so much more effective and speedy than traditional therapy when it comes to healing trauma and releasing blocked emotions.
If you’re one of those people who’s “tried everything” or if you feel like your emotions are blocked and you can’t break free on your own, you might want to try this technique.
James Hyman is conducting a workshop in Los Angeles on February 21, 2009 from 9:30-5:30. He also sees private clients. Call Barbara, at (323) 684-6157, or (800) 700-6420 to set an appointment. I have added this powerful technique to my own hypnosis practice in Long Beach. Call (562) 305-3434 to schedule an appointment with me.

Since when is a scientific degree “proof” that you are providing a service to human beings?
(Editors note: This is in response to a previous comment which has since been deleted)
How many times does science, education, etc. stand in the way of going after the healing we were meant to experience?! It totally makes sense to me that our bodies carry traumas and memories that we might not congnitvely recall (and maybe we can thank God for the fact that we can’t remember them all?!)
As a wise teacher of mine once said, look at Louis Hays and her incredible gifts of healing & wisdom and she doesn’t have an advanced degree?!
All truth is truth regardless of where t comes from and this truth set you free, sister, so I say keep going after the healing!
