Stories Collected While Living in France

French la Vie

Sharing Sacredness

Yesterday morning with lavender oil, soft music, a few French words, and a broken crystal, I went to my first rendez-vous. A session of sacred relaxation.

A friend of a friend, a man, who wanted to learn how to relax, to feel less stress.

Each step to his house I felt scared. Is it possible to give something I "feel," even though I don’t have any professional training in this area? He and his wife were waiting in the garden. Their smiles reassured me.

The healing power of touch. The blessing to touch someone and feel their presence. Who gives? Who receives? It is a sharing, a prayer, a moment suspended in time.

    One of my best friend’s father passed away recently, if only I could offer the power of touch though he is too far away…sometimes words cannot express what you want to give.

    What a lovely account of those quiet, yet intense moments! Learning to relax is something from which most of us could benefit.

    Corey, I can just imagine that being in your presence is ‘stress-free’… Tell us about the broken crystal – how did you use it??? I write this at 2:30 am, wishing for your hands on my back, as womanly stress (menopause) rears her head yet again… I will meditate on your beautiful hands…

    you know Corey, this has touched a cord in me… since my being healed, I find that I have a healing hand as well. I know it is not me healing.. it is definately the Holy Spirit but doesn’t it feel so good to give some of what you have received? Of course me being me.. I went and did a reiki course. 🙂

    A most beautiful passage that deeply touched my heart……..
    My friends Mom who is in a nursing home said many are in there all alone and need so much to be loved and feel a human touch a hug, hear a kind word it heals, it is very powerful the influence of love and a blessing of a loved one1
    Love and smiles across the miles
    Love Jeanne

    If your blog is anything to go by, relaxation and serenity should come naturally to you.

    oooh corey, I could use you now.
    You are so remarkeable, wow!
    Have you heard of Reiki? It’s energy work, I’m sure you’ve probably heard of it… I thought originally that is what you were talking about doing, I have a friend, Anita, she is a client of mine who reminds me alot of you, she is amazing too, she got her Phd, when she was 55, and did her dissertation on Reiki, she goes all around to hospitals all over the country and convents to teach it.
    Someday, do you think you could tell us about the monestery story, I would love to hear that, I’m so curious:)
    Fondly, kim

    I know I feel relaxed each time I read your entries so I imagine with a slight smile and touch of your hand that anyone would relax in the comfort of your being.

    You really are a speacial soul. I want to learn to be more like you! I loved seeing your hands in this photo.
    Now I have another reason for wanting to make it back to the south of France. Maybe a cafe, a quiet moment, and chance to soak up your peace…

    I too, feel your healing “touch” through your words, through your blog, through cyber space. SOOOO good to find us all here, in this new world, being transported to a new world. Perhaps this is the Kingdom of God, or part of it?

    If images could heal and I suspect that some can, your do reach out and touch, hold and support.

    I came here in search of your vernal equinox post, but got lost reading everything else on this page. The images you share are so compelling and soothing at the same time, and your words provide such intriguing glimpses of you. There is an exquisite puzzle here for us to put together, peice by beautiful piece:>

    I know that as we become older and then elderly, touch can fade from our lifes. I am now working with some older/wiser people. I support them with daily /personal needs. I haven’t done this for years. I held a person’s hand today and she enclosed my hand with both of hers. She said….”my word it’s a long time since someone has done that”. I was pole-axed. So I held her hand while she drank her tea. I left feeling very, very humble. Touch. Please what ever God there is that I never forget today’s experience.
    Your post was so timely.
    Thankyou.

    When I practise it, I know I get healed as well as do the healing. I’m not the healer, but the conduit for the healing.
    Big warm hugs to you. xoxo
