INTRODUCTION

When I first lay my hands on my classmate in that beginning massage class I knew.

I didn’t know what I knew but I knew something was happening in my body that I hadn’t felt before. I felt an actual thrill pulsate into my hands and touch my heart. I had read about others and how they just knew it was time to quit a job, move, or leave a relationship. This was that inner knowing that I had found something incredible that shook me to my core with excitement and awe.

I had finally found my calling, my path at 47. I had been wandering through a life-long maze and coming up against coincidences for years. It was about time I had a game plan and I knew becoming a massage therapist was a big clue.

Back when I was 19, I thought my only role in life would be wife and then suddenly I was also a mother of two girls by the age of 21. As indoctrination into adulthood and being a mother came with my parent’s beliefs, and also through TV, schools and religion, it seemed inevitable where and how I was being directed. Even as I played their game and moved forward as wife and mother, I found myself with some longing which felt bigger than me.

Being from the baby boomer era the direction we were guided towards as a female was generally around the roles of wife/mother, teacher, nurse or secretary. Most of my influence by other women was from my teachers at school or television shows. I did love to play school as a child, so there was a soft calling to teach, although I didn’t see myself in a typical classroom.

I loved to read and still do for many reasons. As a child, I could escape and explore through exciting adventures to anywhere. Some of my favorite books were a collection starring Nurse Cherry Ames. She would quickly become an inspiration to my role in life, possibly use nursing as a way to help free people from pain. It seemed like a worthy goal and another possible clue to what I would do with my life.

Little did I know this pull toward these helping professions was because I was an empath who just wanted to ease all the pain I was picking up and feeling from others. The term empath was not as popular in the 1970’s as it is today and I had lived cocooned in the Catholic experience before I was married. So any "woo woo" words around energy were foreign to me. The term empath came into my life many years later.

It was exciting as I found myself in this energy experience when I touched my classmate’s body to begin that first massage class. I wanted more! I have always been fascinated with the human body and I was looking for any solution to what I was experiencing as physical pain. Finding my purpose, a way to help people in pain, in massage school was life changing, as they say.

I remember being introduced to energy around 1986, when my then husband and I were cleaning old homestead cabins in the desert around Yucca Valley, California. We were contracted to remove the contents as the owners had died and the property was holding up distribution of trust funds.

Inside one particular cabin were stacks of what I would have called hippie books. They were outside of anything I had ever read and they discussed how energy affects us and everything around us. I still have one of those original books I discovered that day. Thus began the journey of a naïve, young wife and mother who didn’t have a clue the game of her life was about to get very interesting.

As a child, our home was filled with board games which were popular as entertainment for children and as a family activity. Some of the ones that have lasted through the decades as classics are Candyland, Monopoly, Frustration (now Sorry), Easy Money, and, not as popular as Monopoly, the Game of Life.

Now all of these strategy games have a common theme where the object of play is to 1) Start here 2) Go on to collect as many points, pieces or money as possible as you travel around the board 3) Avoid as many obstacles as possible (including those messy emotions) 4) Arrive at the end within the shortest period of time 5) And then you win.

Isn’t that how most of us play at life? Where is the juice of life in that scenario? Where is the joy? It feels like a stressful competition instead of a
