Damaris' Private Practice

Damaris works in private sessions with many aspects of the meditative healing arts which use the hands to channel life-energy. This work operates on multiple levels of the energy-body, including the "Chakra System" energy-centers from the Eastern Yoga traditions and the "Aura Field," the Bio-electro-magnetic "cocoon" that flows around the body, which is well-known in the Western esoteric traditions. This subtle-energy work also directly affects the "Meridian Systems" of Oriental medicine and Acupuncture. Thus our entire physical, emotional, mental and spiritual natures are nourished.

IMAGINE your energy "channels" open, and vitality pulsating in your body. 
IMAGINE old, stored emotion released so todays feelings can be felt fresh. 
IMAGINE listening to "heart" and body, and hearing your innate wisdom. 

By working with the Aura, Chakras and the Meridians and Organs - and thereby clearing congested areas, opening closed channels and recharging depleted primary energies - this work stimulates your natural healing process, and helps you reach below the physical and emotional levels to the Soul and Spirit levels. Here guidance and support is always available. Damaris's work involves many different techniques and approaches, including the following:

Aura Clearing - re-establishes a healthy flow in the electro-magnetic energy that circulates around the body.

Breath Work - is gentle awareness of breath, focusing consciousness in the moment in the body, allowing us to open to deep emotional tones.

Centering - is a process of guidance to help you to sink into the core of your being, where your knowledge and innate wisdom lies.

Chakra Work - opens and clears the subtle energy that flows in and out of these centers to ensure a more balanced distribution of energy.

Chi Kung Healing - the ancient Oriental practice of generating, refining and transmitting energy to treat any aspect of the Energy-Body, including: the organs, 12 organ meridians (sets of points), 8 extra-ordinary meridians (and control points), the Three Tan Tien and "foreign energies." These are methods used in Hospitals and medical clinics throughout China.

Chi Kung Practices- are exercises recommended for a client, along with treatment, which are either specific to their individual needs or general. They are sometimes thought of as qigong prescriptions.

Counseling - is included in every session to help bridge the experience during the energy work to your everyday life.

Crystals - are tools of our consciousness, and can help conduct energy when appropriate. They are used in a "field" layout, or on specific Chakras, to intensify the desired effects.

Rituals - can be used to reinforce our healing intentions and ask for further help. They help individuals or groups find the form that best bridges the physical and spiritual worlds.

Healing Touch - an energy based therapy, that incorporates a variety of healing modalities, which is widely used in the nursing profession.

Hopi Backwork - a partnership of "Earth" energy and breath to open blockages of the energy flow in the back and neck, and help us release emotional and physical trauma.

Mind Clearance - helps open and re-balance all of the major points on the head and neck, creating a deep calm and expanded consciousness/awareness of "Center".

Polarity - helps to clear the flow between the major and minor Chakra centers, so that they are all connected and the body functions as a whole.

Qigong Soul Retrieval- is a shamanic process in which the practitioner retrieves a part of the clients Soul which has disassociated from it's natural place of rest in one of the 5 yin organs (liver, heart, spleen, lungs or kidneys). This disassociation often happens in life when our earthly experience delivers more trauma or drama than that aspect of the Soul is comfortable with. The Soul part (as pure essence) then resides in one of the worlds of Spirit, safe and protected, and still connected to us, until brought back in one way or another to continue in the incarnated state. Having all of our Soul parts residing in the incarnate state, in our yin organs, is most desirable as it strengthens our 5 Elements, and thus our entire expression and destiny as a human being, as well as insuring that there are no voids in our system which can collect foreign energy. This is done in conjunction with other Qigong Healing treatment.

Relaxation - music, imagery and breath work is used to help one let go physically and mentally, into a deeper level of consciousness.

Remote Session - is similar in all ways, except that practitioner and client are not in the same place but are interacting at the same time. They are 1-hour, with the last 10 minutes in phone consultation.

Solar Plexus Penetration - helps release impact from physical and emotional trauma, so this energy center is not only open but can cleanly focus - like the lens of a camera.

Sound - drumming, healing chimes and voice are occasionally used to deepen consciousness, help focus the awareness on a body-mind state, and soothe and nurture our energy-body.

Therapeutic Touch - is a well established technique which brings healing energy through the hands to the body and energy field of another person.

Trauma Release - a self-hypnotic process designed to take one back through physical and emotional traumas, to release the impact still held in our cells at key points in the body.

________________________________________________________

This work is normally started in 2-hour sessions
(children and teens 1-1/2 hour), which includes initial "check-in," assessment and energy work, Chi Kung instruction, and counseling to help
integrate this work into your life. Then we progress to 1-1/2 hour monthly sessions and then to seasonal 1-1/2 hour "tune-ups," backed up by your own Chi Kung practice. This varies with client need.

Sessions are $160 for a 2-hour session, $120 for a 1-1/2 hour session,
and $80-$120 for children and teens.
A fee of 1/2 the cost of the session is charged for a first time no-show
or cancelled appointment (if less than 24 hours notice is given) and a
full fee after that.

Damaris' private practice is now full and she is no longer able to take new clients for individual treatments, because she is booked too far in advance to accommodate the timing of appointments in early treatment, so she is referring you to the Chi Kung Healing Practitioners who have all trained many years with her and Jim MacRitchie at The Body-Energy Center.

For treatment from graduates of the 5 year program
