A Joyful Session

Body

At the physical level a patient may have experienced a painful injury or have chronic pain or other physical challenge. Intuitive therapists are trained in and work with a number of therapeutic tools that are useful in these cases. Rev. Olivieri utilizes a variety of modalities such as Seitai Shiatsu, Sensory Repatterning, Kinesthetic Bodywork, Myofacial Release, Regenesis, Circulatory Swedish Massage, Breema, Polarity Therapy, Intuitive Reiki, and Neuromuscular Therapy in a session, sometimes in combined simultaneous movements. These systems are integrated into a treatment process that is tailored to the patient’s needs, timing, and circumstances. Rev Olivieri may integrate these and other similar therapies as needed to relax muscle groups, relieve areas of pain, improve circulation, tonify tissues, and increase range of motion. Often these therapies will be applied consecutively or simultaneously by the therapist while the patient is gently rotated from one body area to the next. After a session of Intuitive therapy the patient may feel refreshed, relaxed and strengthened, and ready to adapt to the stresses of modern daily living.

Mind

Rev Olivieri employs a number of energy-work therapies in order to assist the patient in helping to resolve issues that might be interfering with their healing. Some of the issues dealt with include social pressures, family responsibilities and conflicts, interpersonal dilemmas, and regressionary conflicts. The patient’s mind is an important part of the whole person, an aspect that can be used either as a tool or a barrier to achieving one’s goals. An Intuitive therapist such as Rev. Olivieri will assist the patient to express themselves in such a way that allows them to work through areas of difficulty, progressing hopefully to a stage where the patient feels that he or she is aware of the barriers or problem areas. Once awareness exists, the therapist assists the patient to be empowered to make the appropriate changes in order to resolve difficult or challenging areas in ones life. Rev. Olivieri will apply these therapeutic techniques in such a way that the patient feels completely comfortable and relaxed, as to not strain or reach into areas that are not easily accessed. In many cases, these areas will be opened up simultaneous to the physical treatment while working within the patient’s comfort level.

Emotion

As healing takes place from the physical and mental levels, it must also grow into one’s emotional level in order to achieve a proper balance. Rev Olivieri will employ a number of intuitive techniques to help the patient draw out their emotional response to their injury, including possible traumatic events, people that surround them, and their physical and mental evolution through healing. Rev. Olivieri will draw out not only negative emotions, but also emphasize the positive emotions that exist within the patient that can encourage the uplifting of the whole person. A joyful experience can allow an awareness of one’s progressive journey in life, while a challenging experience can offer one learning experiences that direct the person toward joyful living. The nurturing effects of Rev Olivieri’s Dove Heart therapy can uplift the patient’s emotional outlook from one of hopelessness to one of hopefulness. The exploration into the emotional self by the therapist and the patient is a relaxing endeavor, whereby the patient is encouraged to address issues without stress, to allow the expression of emotion to occur naturally in a progressive and comfortable manner.

Spirit

Recognizing that each of us has a spiritual self that is the core of our being, Rev. Olivieri works to allow the patient to become aware of their spirit self and connection with the physical, mental and emotional levels. Rev Olivieri is trained in balancing the body’s chakras, the ten primary energy centers between one’s spiritual self and physical body. By releasing imbalances and unneeded patterns within energy flows, Rev. Olivieri and the patient can work together to uncover areas that are constricting the self from expressing the patient’s true goals and intuitions. Through Intuitive treatment a patient may come to recognize how he or she may be creating conflict in order to resolve a deeper issue that may be connected to an internal objective, for example. By becoming aware of one’s spiritual self and connection to the physical body a patient may come to terms with and understand the meaning of chronic pain, and by this understanding, actually be empowered to create tools for resolution and strengthening. A weakness or conflict on an internal level which causes a held belief of separateness from Spirit, can often either be the cause for pain and injury, or it can be a factor in maintaining the pain or prolonging the healing process. Rev. Olivieri works with the patient, often simultaneous to other therapeutic activities, to joyfully provoke one’s pure connection to their self and essential nature. This often will occur during bodywork, and the therapist will employ visual, verbal and sensory cues to assist the patient’s connection to the self. Various energy-based modalities often employed by Rev. Olivieri, including Chakra Balancing, Regenesis, Reiki, Chi Lel Qi Gong, and breathing visualization techniques.

A Joyful Session

Each Intuitive session with Rev. Olivieri is an artform in itself, a different journey for each person. It is a joyful expression between the patient and the therapist, allowing the patient to have tactile, visual, aural and inner-self expression, enabling a deepening of the process of healing. Seeing the healing process as a positive journey, Rev Olivieri will employ bodywork, energy-work, behavioral self-analysis, and other methods mentioned here to encourage the patient to draw out and see their beautiful self within. Often the Rev. Olivieri will employ visual cues to encourage this process. The connection between colors and feelings are often made, as a tool to encourage the patient to connect with their self and responses to the body and world around them. Various tight or sore areas of the body may be massaged, strengthened, released or drawn out during the session. Many times mental difficulties or emotional barriers are actually bound up in some of the physically sore or tight areas. Rev. Olivieri may help the patient recognize how they may be binding within areas of their body conflicts that exist on the mental or emotional levels. Rev. Olivieri’s Dove Heart therapies will encourage the person to reach into the self to draw strength and positive intention into these areas, to encourage circulation and an awareness of the healing energy required in those locations that require treatment. This Intuitive therapy session is soft and gentle, but may require an occasional myofacial release that can gradually push some boundaries, allowing better movement capability or a strengthened core. Rev. Olivieri’s therapy session is conducted with an intuitive base, with both the patient and therapist traveling down a path of discovery and awareness.
