“The first time I met Joy I had no idea what to expect. In that session and every session since, I’ve felt cherished and safe. Joy brings with her a sense that — profoundly, fully, without reservation — everything is just fine. It’s an amazing experience. This experience of complete acceptance provides the space in which to grow and explore, address and resolve imbalances, examine new possibilities.
In a way, Joy heals as Florence Nightingale would have. Miss Nightingale operated on the assumption that the human experience is characterized by the drive toward health. To her, the healer’s job was to create an environment, in which that drive can operate without impediment. The healer managed light, ventilation, sound, hygiene, nutrition and hydration. Healing environments were light and airy, calm and interesting. People in the healing process were kept clean and given nourishing food and fresh water. What a healer like Joy brings to such an environment is a sense of confidence and competence — that the universe is unfolding as it should — that no one is alone because no one is separate — that no one is overwhelmed because no one is intruding — that all of us, singly and collectively, are beloved.”

I had the opportunity to be a guest lecturer for Paula Mathews class of grad students at the UofA today.

I wanted the class to be experiential and hands on learning. The time flew by. We discussed Human Energy Dynamics and did a few exercises getting to play with the 5 movements of energy: diffuse, pull, contract, push and stop.

Here is a list I put together for the students: Tools that are in My Healer’s Tool Box. I didn’t have enough time to go over this list. So I invite the grad students (or anyone else) to ask a question on the material below or anything else that was discussed today.

“Joy is a gifted healer. Once, prior to having surgery, Joy helped me with energy work in preparation for surgery. I had never considered preparation for surgery on this level. Because of Joy’s interventions, my surgery experience was more integrated into my being and into my life, instead of something to recover from and forget. “
