Introducing Judith Schweers

Judith is a Therapeutic Touch teacher who has private clients and also facilitates a free clinic providing Therapeutic Touch fortnightly. She and her Therapeutic Touch associates and students provide Therapeutic Touch at the First Nations Elders Gathering annually as well.

She teaches all three levels of Therapeutic Touch, is a Qualified Therapeutic Touch Teacher (QTTT) in the Therapeutic Touch International Association (TTIA) and also is a Therapeutic Touch Recognised Teacher (TTRT) in British Columbia. Having the QTTT qualification means a person has international recognition as a Therapeutic Touch teacher.

This year is her 42nd year offering Therapeutic Touch.  She learned Therapeutic Touch from her mother, Marie Jenkins and her group starting in California in 1983. Judith soon progressed to attending Indralaya, on Orcas Island, where she learned from Dolores Krieger and Dora Kunz for many years.  She served as a Therapeutic Touch mentor there as well.

Judith says that, for her, Therapeutic Touch just keeps getting better. To explain this, she said, “In Therapeutic Touch, we are dealing with two basic aspects of growth and evolution. The first is our skills as a practitioner - cues that are given to us via the Universal Energy which flows through us, and the information we find within the client’s energy fields. The second is our own evolution. The more we evolve by releasing our ego and trauma, the more the capacity for light and clarity increases. It (becomes) easier to stay in the present moment and let the emotional jaggedness drift through us rather than getting stuck in our bodies. We become more the observer.  Most Therapeutic Touch practitioners start to gain that understanding well into their 60-70’s. They have been through a lot of life experiences and appreciate the quiet mind.

During the June TT Chats, Judith will be talking to us about these community outreach programs, how it all began, step by step, and how you can do it too.

Last year Judith and her assistants travelled to Campbell River and there taught all 3 levels of TT courses, to staff at the Kyuquot First Nations office.  Those students went on to be a part of the British Columbia Tribal Elders Gathering providing Therapeutic Touch sessions at the Vancouver Convention Centre.  They also have assisted at the Ladysmith Resources Centre.  Currently they are setting up Therapeutic Touch clinics in Campbell River and the village of Kyuquot on the remote northwest coast of Vancouver Island.

At the British Columbia Elders Gathering there are 24 Therapeutic Touch practitioners, all in the same room, offering Therapeutic Touch to First Nations Elders.  The British Columbia Elders Gathering is an annual celebration where Therapeutic Touch have been contributing to it for 7 years.  This year 1900 First Nations Elders have registered to attend.

Judith’s goal in this presentation on June 16, is to inspire other Therapeutic Touch practitioners to see what can be done on a very limited budget with a tremendous amount of creativity and compassion.

Wrap up of the International TT Healing Swap for Therapeutic Touch Awareness Week

Jenny Cameron for the past 18 months or so, has been sending distant Therapeutic Touch healing every alternate Wednesday night.  The group has gone from 4 clients who were in hospital to at its peak, 80 participants.  This spread through word of mouth, and included clients, ill friends and newborn babies. The group has varied, ebbed and flowed over time.

There has been some wonderful varied and different sessions, from sitting in her practice room with her dog Kara, to sitting at clients homes because she hadn't finished work in time, to sitting on the beach on Magnetic island and even one session in the car with three chickens and Kara since she did not make it home to the farm, in time.

She begins each session with sending all participants a reminder to turn off the tv, move into a quiet place and find a comfortable space to sit. Then she begins with some gentle breathing and then connects to the participants.  The intention for each session, is to send love and peace to all those who participate. There is always a chat session afterwards, which Jenny enjoys.

Jenny received a message from Deborah Gould, in Ontario. They were having Therapeutic Touch Awareness Week and she wondered if we would like to connect, across the world with Therapeutic Touch healing.  Thanks to the assistance of Marg Graham and Kathy Daniel, we were able to go ahead with this wonderful idea.  

Jenny sent Therapeutic Touch healing, from Australia to participants in Ontario, Canada on May 6.  It was 7.30 pm AEST and 5.30 am in Ontario.  The team in Ontario were asleep, but they were surprised at their response because they woke on cue for the healing process.  There were 18 participants from Australia and 8 Canadians.  The Canadian participants encouraged me not to worry about the time because they said, “We will all "download" our sessions as needed”, and we found this to be very true!

Following is a message Jenny sent to the Australian and Ontarian participants.

From Jenny Cameron

Hi, to everyone.  I so appreciated the chance to send to you in Canada ! Your descriptions were wonderful! We had 4 TT people and 18 others from my Wednesday group and I asked them to send with intention and peace!

When I went in, it was more like when you drop a pebble in the water and the ripples kept moving out the colour started blue but as it spread it turned to a lovely green and it seemed to just keep spreading with the ripple effect moving out! I felt very calm and peaceful! My dog Kara joined us

Thank you so much

Love Jenny💕💕💕

 

 

 

Here is a message from Marg Graham sent after the May 6 session.

From Marg Graham

WOW jenny what an amazing session of peace.

I did not have a chance to read your email prior.

My thoughts became focused on the time and at 7:30 there was a wave of energy entering my whole body and the word peace came to me as I sat soaking up the energy that was shared by us all.

I have read the emails from overseas and I am so pleased, by all their accounts and it was wonderful to share with those across the seas.

I’m looking forward to next week’s session, Margaret

Comments from Ontario.

Pat, I awakened at 4 a.m., my mind full of tasks and a few worries. I couldn't go back to sleep, so I rested and had a wonderful nap with any worries and anxiety slipping away and a lovely, peaceful, calming energy flowing through me. I checked the clock again, and it was 5:45 a.m.  Ta-da - 5:30 a.m. fit perfectly for me. Therapeutic Touch works!  Thank you!

Deb - My experience was not unlike Pat's. I awoke early and drifted until 6:00ish. When I moved to the living room, I felt waves of energy. My head then kicked in and I thought, well Deb, of course, there could be waves. There are oceans between us!! 😉 in any case, it continued for probably the better part of an hour.  It occurred to me to reach out to a friend, and she indicated that yes, there were gentle waves of green around the periphery of my field. So lovely. It makes me smile when I think about it now. Thx Jenny. 💝

From Ontario

For the second session on May 13, our small group of practitioners in Ontario offered TT sessions to the Australian participants, as they were able on the day, knowing that it would benefit the recipients as needed.  There were common themes in the feedback about our experiences. Time seemed inconsequential, whether you were giving or receiving a session.  There was a strong connection to the colours, most common being blue and green.  We had a strong sense of wave-like motion in the energy field, along with an umbilical-like connection to our partners across the seas.  Many also reported having felt the sensations lasting long after the session was finished. 

Having never had such an opportunity before, I think we would all agree that it was surprising and yet, reassuring to develop such a rich, deep connection with our colleagues, from so far away.  Energy being energy... distance is inconsequential!'

Thank you to our new friends in Australasia. 

Deborah, Pat, Mardi, Susan, and Yvonne

In the second session there were 22 Australian participants and 5 Canadians.  The healing energy in this session was very strong and there were some interesting responses from both Australia and Canada.

Jenny’s comments Jenny on the receiving TT energy from the Ontarian group.

"What an amazing experience."

"I had an interesting session starting with a heart which was very bright, slightly yellow.  This heart grew and grew and was soon the size of the room and as it grew beyond it changed to green to purple and it became brighter and brighter.  The light in the room was out but the room was so bright, I thought that someone had turned the light on, love Jenny"

As you can sense, all enjoyed the process from Australia, and the experience was wonderfully received! Jenny Cameron.
