How Jonathan realized his psychic gifts and used them to create PetMassage Part 2

The psychic experience shifted the direction of my life. My life would never be the same. Psychic experiences do happen! And, hey: I had one. We can do it.

Then the questions arose. Was this some random event? Was the experience repeatable? Could I recreate the conditions necessary to access information like this? And, what were the conditions? Did I have special psychic abilities that I could develop? Could I experience the Akashic Record like Edgar Cayce? How could I learn to open my psychic antennae? Could I learn to receive at will?
 
These questions stumped me for several years. All the information, the media and apparatus were all obviously there, ready and waiting to be accessed. They had all been beautifully and evocatively described by the Hay House stable of authors such as Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, James Redfield, and of course, Louise Hay.
 
The answers were elusive, though. I knew the channels were there. I just had no clue how to tune my receiver to receive the stations. I didn’t even know where my psychic dials were! I had a fear that I might be inundated with images. What if I couldn’t handle the information?
 
Whenever I attempted to focus on receiving, I got in my own way. I tried too hard. I was sure access was possible; just didn’t know how to do it.
 
I’d like to interject here that the unfolding of my talents was not planned. It was not something that I set out to accomplish. It is only in retrospect that I can see how one event opened me to another, and another, and another; until, here I am, sharing this, now, with you.
 
A few years after the mind-reading experience with my dad, I decided to change career fields and enrolled in the nursing school at Harry S. Truman College in Chicago. One morning in the final semester before graduation, I woke up with a stiff neck. It was so distractingly painful that I couldn’t think coherently. I met with one of my instructors complaining (nursing term) that I was unable to look down or turn my head. I was especially concerned because I was scheduled to take the City Colleges of Chicago HESI exit exam that afternoon. It was an important test. If I didn’t do well, I would not be permitted to sit for the RN exam. My instructor asked if he could try something that might provide some relief and placed the palm of his hand on the side of my neck.
 
And, he held it there. There was no special heat. No pressure. No rubbing. No vibration. No movement. He just had his hand on my neck; his other hand hung loosely at his side. I had no idea what he was doing. I’d just spent two years learning about medical care – from the American perspective; and this wasn’t in any of my textbooks. This was absurd.
 
After a few uncomfortably confusing minutes, he withdrew his hand. I turned my head toward him to ask, “What was that?” and noticed to my amazement, before I could get the words out, that the muscle tightness was gone. I moved my head from side to side, up and down, and around in circles. Stiff neck, gone. Tightness, gone. Pain, gone. Just like that! What was that?”
 
My nursing instructor, who had a Masters in Critical Care Nursing, told me that he used this Healing Touch every day in the ER. That immediately gave the technique credibility. It was used in hospitals right along with the bright lights, the meds and the shiny machines. Voodoo in the medical care system! Who knew? This was my introduction to Healing Touch.
 
Healing Touch was a way of using “magic” to heal people. I was hooked! I had to learn what my instructor was doing and how to do what he did.
 
The very next day, I learned about a Healing Touch class in Evanston offered by members of the Holistic Nurses Association. More credibility. I began attending their weekly lessons. The initial goal was to somehow “read” and “adjust” people’s energy zones. Energy? Zones? What were these? I was in way over my head.
 
During guided meditations we were instructed to “ground” ourselves. Grounding? What a curious term! I had a really difficult time visualizing “grounding.” We were told to feel our roots sink deep into the earth. But we were on an upper floor of an office building! I was confused. What a strange and foreign culture!
 
There had to be something there. How could I possibly know what I was supposed to feel? All the other trainees were saying they were feeling something.
 
One evening during one these Healing Touch training sessions, I felt a movement. I didn’t feel it in my hands. It was a different type of palpation. I felt something “shift” in my body. It wasn’t muscular; it was somewhere vaguely in the back of my chest, behind my heart. Was that the movement I’d been waiting for? I held my hand over the same area of my partner’s body and grinned. I felt it again. It was repeatable.
 
Now that I knew what I was looking for, I could practice with other students. I began to get more and more adept. Soon I was able to recognize all sorts of non-physical movements. I could sense the invisible. I could sense the immeasurable. Patients that I practiced on validated that what I felt was consistent with their medical evaluations. I began experiencing not only temperature variations and movement, form and function, but also contextual shapes and their relationships within their sequences of chakras. “Chakras?!”
 
This was an extraordinary education. My right – brained – artistic/intuitive – work balanced the logical/linear left-brained nursing skills.
 
I soon took additional training to become a massage therapist and discovered Tai Chi. Tai Chi was another practice that resonated with me. I learned to observe the internal movements of Chi energy. There were variations within Chi yin – yang balance. The symbol of the yin – yang represents the goal to achieve balance. It represents movement toward balance. It represents intention toward balance. It represents homeostasis. Tai Chi taught me to feel my own energy and balance. I was learning to listen; not so much with my ears, but with my whole body.
