I was completely out of my comfort zone. Imagine &#8220;conservative mother of eight&#8221; going to massage school. The director of the school interviewed me to see if I would <em>fit into their program<\/em> by feeling the &#8220;energy&#8221; coming off the bottom of my feet. Apparently, my energy radiated &#8220;just far enough&#8221; for her to let me in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Imagine the scenario:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We began class walking barefoot on the grass to &#8220;connect with the earth.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I used to hide in the closet to take off my clothes, then come out wrapped up like I was going to a toga party.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many would chant and do &#8220;energy dances&#8221; around one another to clear their &#8220;energetic fields.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We sat in circles on round pillows to &#8220;meditate&#8221; and &#8220;share our feelings&#8221; before and after each class.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This &#8220;energy stuff&#8221; was all very new to me. I&#8217;m not even sure exactly how I wound up at that school\u2013except that it fit into my schedule and my budget. I did know my intention was to learn how to give a massage as quickly as possible and get out of there. I had goals of <em>professionalism<\/em> and I was pretty sure most of my classmates were a bit crazy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Though I didn&#8217;t know much about that &#8220;energy stuff.&#8221; But I did know this. <strong>IF<\/strong> it was real, I didn&#8217;t want anything to do with it; AND I surely didn&#8217;t want any of THEM messing with mine! Needless to say, I kept my distance and tried desperately to pretend I was a fly on the wall when they &#8220;played energy games.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/1-Fullscreen-capture-10302014-45203-PM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-14883\" src=\"http:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/1-Fullscreen-capture-10302014-45203-PM.jpg\" alt=\"1-Fullscreen capture 10302014 45203 PM\" width=\"387\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/1-Fullscreen-capture-10302014-45203-PM.jpg 530w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/1-Fullscreen-capture-10302014-45203-PM-300x242.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 387px) 100vw, 387px\" \/><\/a>On our very first practice massage session, we were asked to pair up with a partner. I looked around the room and didn&#8217;t feel comfortable with too many people, except <em>maybe<\/em> Penelope. Penelope was an older, round, robust, curvy woman with long, silver, braided, curly hair. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Although she was one of the &#8220;energy dancers,&#8221; I kind of liked her because she had a nice smile and an infectious giggle. I quickly paired up with her because she seemed somewhat harmless and I was afraid some of the other students (like the guy who had a hole in his pants and wore no underwear or the vegan girl who only wore dirty pajamas wherever she went) might try to choose me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The rules of our first massage were simple. Do whatever you want. Let your hands slide over the body. See where they guide you. Feel the bumps, curves, valleys, and temperature changes. Notice where your hands want to go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Since this would be my first time giving a massage and my second time receiving a massage, I let Penelope massage first. I&#8217;m not even sure what happened\u2014except that I fell asleep and melted into puddle of butter. When I woke up I felt like a buttered noodle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Then it was my turn. Penelope had plenty of curves for me to explore, and her body was warm and fluffy. Her hair was wild and her head was squishy. I had no idea what I was doing and don&#8217;t really remember much. The only thing I DO remember was what Penelope said when I was done. As she sat up, she slowly shook her head and said:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8220;Honey, you&#8217;ve got a <strong>gift<\/strong> and you don&#8217;t even know it&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>*******<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I had no idea that my experience at the School of Intuitive Massage and Healing would eventually bless my life in so many ways. After graduation, I opened the &#8220;professional&#8221; massage clinic I&#8217;d planned. Over time I began feeling more than I understood while massaging. My hands began to tingle and feel alive. I didn&#8217;t know why, but I had to find out more. This led me to go back for advanced training courses at that very same school, and eventually to a plethora of other healing modality courses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14877\" src=\"http:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/PCOM-logo1.jpg\" alt=\"PCOM logo1\" width=\"585\" height=\"76\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/PCOM-logo1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/PCOM-logo1-300x39.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><br \/>\nFAST FORWARD 10 years<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">By the time I graduated from acupuncture school, feeling energy through my fingers had advanced to feeling it through needle manipulation.
