Intelligent Intuitive Touch
 
Through my many years (20 to be exact) working as a massage therapist, my hands have developed a high level of intelligence and some may say 'a strong intuitive’ sense.  It’s totally beyond any reasoning I can ever explain. 

My most favorite teacher was Dr. John Upledger. Founder of Upledger Institute.  The Upledger Institute has taught to date many thousands of therapists including doctors, physical therapists, and chiropractors the art of CranioSacral Therapy. 
In his CranioSacral Therapy 2, Beyond the Dura book, he writes in the chapter 'Localized Tissue Intellect Memory and Emotion'. 
“How many of you body workers do your best work when you just give your hands-free reign to do what they want?  Perhaps you are distracted and see later that you have done something with the patient without having consciously decided to do it. I have this experience almost daily.  I used to think I was letting my lower brain, or my right brain, do the job.  But perhaps my hands simply do the job without guidance from the spinal cord or any other part of the central nervous system. “ Dr. J.Upledger. 
 

Some time ago a client brought her aging mother to see me for the relief of her hip pain.  My guess her mother was about eighty years of age then.  I touched her and immediately my hands retracted away from her body.  I told the mother and daughter I could not be of any help as I believed relief for the pain was totally out of my scope of practice.  I told them my feeling was she may have a hip fracture.   They left. 
A year later I saw the daughter in a mall by chance.  I asked her how her mother was. 
 
She said “Oh I was meaning to call you and give you an update. You were right.  I took my mother back to her doctor and the doctor said it was muscular pain and would not give her an X-ray.  I then took my mother back to her previous doctor and even that doctor said, it was muscular pain.  Frustrated, I took her back to the other doctor and insisted they give her an X-ray.   They did because I demanded they do.  Lo and behold, the radiologist diagnosed her with a hip fracture.”
 
 Thank goodness for the intelligence in my hands. I have many, many stories similar to this one, My hands have done the thinking and talking and they seem to know what western medical science diagnostics reveal. 
 
Is this not amazing how the human hand can develope this incredible intelligence?   I encourage you to use your hands for feedback about your health and also why not use them to heal yourself.  Trust in the answers your hands will give you.  It's not hokey pokey weirdo stuff.  It's real.
