Leta Herman, Energetic Acupressure

              Heart pain is an intrinsic component of life. We experience heart pain when a person hurts our feelings or our dreams cannot be fulfilled. Perhaps it's the pain of not being able to fulfill a career dream. Or maybe it's the pain of not being wealthy or prosperous. The pain of failed relationships and loneliness is one of the most common.

                The Chinese believe that heart pain is unavoidable. In fact, one of the 12 meridians of the body is called the “heart protector.” Its purpose is to deal with heart pain.

                There are nine types of heart pains related to the nine heart palaces: health, wealth (having enough), prosperity (having more than enough, for example, philanthropy), relationship, children, travel/adventure, career, wisdom, and “home” (a sense of having a place to call home). A heart pain occurs when something goes wrong in your life with respect to one of your heart palaces.

The Chinese believe that as we live our life, we can come to feel separate and alone in the world, a victim of chance without a safety net. However, before we were born, we emerged from the womb, where everything was taken care of. We were “home,” in the Dao, or the lap of God, part of the greater whole of the universe.

                The Chinese believe that the primary cause of any addiction is heart pain. Thus, the first step in treating addiction, even something as simple as smoking, should start with addressing the heart's past pains.

                Past traumatic events can also affect the heart in dramatic ways. A heart pain treatment can help release the shock and pain of losing faith in life and the universe after a severe trauma.

                A heart pain treatment can also help with a general sense of ease and self-acceptance in a person's life. The treatment releases heart pain by bringing our sense of home into our life—the feeling of trust and faith that some divine and inexplicable force is caring for us in every way.

                A heart pain treatment begins at the shoulder and, at the same time, the middle finger, which represents the beginning and end of the two heart meridians. One end (the shoulder) represents having that sense of home. The finger point represents that sense of desperate separation/isolation/alone-ness (what I've dubbed as “the pit of despair”) that we can feel at times in our lives. Then we work our way simultaneously down from the shoulder and up from the fingers to bring that sense of connectedness that we had before we were born into our current lives full of separateness. Basically we bring “home” into our daily life.

                The end result is a deeper sense of faith and trust as well as a sense of self, whether that's self-worth, self-confidence, or self-loving.

3-hour Session:

A Heart Pain treatment takes three hours and is typically done in one session. Sometimes we can break up the session into two or three sessions.  These are not just points we rush through. We take the time that is needed. The result is a growing sense of ease in your own body/mind/spirit and of self-love.

The three-hour session is an incredible time-out-of-life for your healing. It is life altering on a deep subtle level, though the results are sometimes anything but subtle. Many have been amazed that the time passes so quickly. Music is a required component to the session as a vibrational guide to the energywork. The music is selected at random from an iPod containing 20,000 songs of all genres, and a CD of important songs is provided at the follow-up session.

What to Bring: Bring any food you’d like to eat during the time. We will take bathroom/eating breaks as necessary. If you believe any personal objects would be helpful to have in the room, you can bring them, but are not obliged to in any way.

Follow-Up: The next day or soon after, you will return for a 1-Hour session that will be focused on strengthening your true qi.

Ongoing Source Alignment Sessions: You may want to continue with some ongoing strengthening work, depending on your physical/emotional state. In addition, if you want to continue to work on freeing your spirit, a series of alchemical treatments are excellent for accessing your fullest potential and helping you “fly” in your life. These are 1-hour sessions.

Who Would Benefit from Receiving a Heart Pain Treatment? 

I generally recommend Heart Pain treatments in the following situations:

• When you are trying to overcome an addiction
• When you have trouble with self-esteem, self-loathing, or inability to love yourself.
• When you've never felt "at home" in your life.
