Energy Medicine For Bodyworkers- Continuing Education Course

Energy Aware, the dynamic Duo of Daenin Tejeda and Kamala Chambers, is launching it’s first series of Continuing Education classes as a team and their synergy is palpable!

“This is really a culmination of both of our lifeworks so far and neither of us has ever been so excited about a series of classes, we have never seen anything like it in energy medicine! We have gone to great lengths to find energy medicine practices which are most relevant to bodyworkers. We have talked with clients, Spa owners, bodyworkers and asked them what they need most, what their issues are and what has worked best for them with energy medicine, what we have found and created is amazing to both of us .”

Energy Medicine for Bodyworkers -How it all began:

In search of the finest Continuing Education in all the land… two wellness wizards walked the earth seeking healing practices of significant awesomeness to offer the world. After much toil, and using considerable bodacity, they drew from a plethora of ancient healing paths, blended in modern science and assembled workshops which some are saying are “the most useful and life-enhancing upgrades to bodywork ever!”

So what’s “for real” about Divine Touch?

Why not call it “Touch” or just healing touch? Why is it “Divine Touch”?   Is there a sermon to be included with this service? What is “for real” about Divine Touch?

In answer to these questions I will say this:

  1. There are no sermons necessary
  2. The intent is to connect to your personal divine essence or deep presence in your body, not some disembodied or theoretical entity which requires belief.
  3. Divine Touch feels wonderful for the body, and an interesting thing is the “other results” which are inexplicable-based solely on my knowledge of human anatomy, physiology and touch.  Some people have experiences such as memories arising and falling away having to do with life purpose and deep-seated fears arising and then leaving.
  4. People leave my table feeling better, capable of doing more, and having habit changes such as more ease in pursuing their wellness goals, weight loss, profound emotional relief and others.
  5. It is called Divine in part because the method does not really include a psychological approach and achieves results beyond the scope of the placebo effect and beyond the scope of massage or “regular” touch.
  6. I gave up being a massage practitioner and now offer this, because it is more honestly what I offer, it is what it is. Some people who are familiar with massage do not want to have “other results” or are surprised by the nature of the results from Divine Touch and I think it is dishonest to misrepresent what it is. So I call it what it is, so that people who want it can have that and those who want something else can pursue that.
  7. An aspect of Divine Touch is that people often experience a sense of a profound deep loving presence which I can only describe as “divine”.

What am I up to? I am making major changes to my main website.

I have decided to make the process visible to people so if they have feedback they can provide it.  So I will lay out the objective, so as you feel inspired- you can help me achieve it.  And let me know if you have a better idea which works inside wordpress. The idea is:

  1. to make my main site more user-friendly
  2. and turn it into a useful directory with more specific websites for each area of interest.
  3. So if you are really interested in Touch Based sessions you can learn about that in a site dedicated to just that in detail (http://touchthedivine.wordpress.com) with all the info you want easy to find and use.
  4. If you are interested in learning about a community created vision for sustainable community you can go to a specific site for that with lots of resource links.  (http://shambhallanetwork.wordpress.com)

Men’s work: Connecting with the Earth

Many times I have heard of derogatory and also feminist uses of the term “woman’s work”.  But what about men’s work?  In our emerging culture what is the real work to be done? And what does it have to do with being a man?  I was in Hawaii recently and I was struck at how easy it is to connect to the Earth there.  Molten lava flows under the very ground, and a sense of the aliveness of the Earth and the Goddess Pele is so palpable, it is shocking for me to return to Seattle’s apathy.  I toured intentional communities, ate food with people as a community, I swam with 16-20 dolphins for over an hour, drank the juice of coconut from a nearby tree and went to sleep with the sound of koke frogs. I began to move in rhythm with the Earth in a new way. As I have come back I have felt a strong and determined desire to connect to the Earth that deeply here.  I feel called to work with the land more deeply and I have felt an awakening of my desire to also work with men more deeply and to create challenges for men to connect to the Earth more deeply.  I believe that in this way, men can become stronger in themselves.

I have lived a relatively connected life to the Earth here in Seattle. But relative to what I experienced in Hawaii, it is really disconnected.   I long for that bigger connection to earth and intentional community.  I see this as a source of wellness and as deep spiritual journey and practical way of sustainable living, and it can be super rewarding socially too.

I have been separated from the food I eat, and from the beauty of soil and fresh greens growing.  I have been living in my head too much. When I was in Hawaii, something in me woke up.  That’s not gonna do it for me anymore.  I have been beginning in a Daka Training and getting out of the head and into the body is part of it, but it is also connecting to the soil, and to accepting the challenges of life as invitations to grow and plant new seeds.

I am learning how to plant the garden of loving community; A community more in harmony with the Earth.

Happy New Year!

Blessings on your New Year!

I have been loving All Star Fitness and have been building up my strength and reducing my stress and improving my cardio. I have been loving it. Winter is the best time ever for going to the gym! it is a total pick me up when it is cold and wet. I can take Yoga and do cardio and weight train and use the sauna and hot tub and steam room or pool after.

All of the challenges which have faced me have been blessings in disguise. It is amazing to feel so blessed and loved.

Abundance Abounds!

  1. My life has never been better, I am surrounded by loving community and am deepening into my spiritual growth as a man.
  2. I am going so deliciously deep in my practice of Divine Touch.
  3. I am so blessed to be in a loving, fulfilling, open relationship with Robyn Lynn. She is a major inspiration in my life and a great co-creator and experimenter in building loving community.
  4. I am grateful to David Whelan who is letting me use his car, which has been an awesome blessing!
  5. I am learning tons from David Cates about new models for sustainable group process and what it really means to be heart-centered.
  6. I am starting another round of Pathworking with Verla Wade and learning about my deep psyche and how it can be used to harmonize with nature and the divine and being fully resourced by life without hesitation.
  7. I am taking a class with Teri Ciacchi on Goddess teachings and their social activism aspects. The Goddess is a compass in my life in this emerging time of Divine Union where men and women and people of all genders learn how to create together harmoniously.
  8. I am learning about community -and man there is a lot to learn, and yet I am finding it a fun creative challenge. Reading a book on Sociocracy called “We The People: Consenting to a Deeper Democracy” which is fantastic, best read in a long time! Which is answering all kinds of questions i have about how to be in community and work together.
  9. In a couple weeks I am getting ready to meet with Adele and start building the next series of Gemstone Energy Medicine classes. The transcription of the notes from our work together is almost complete! The Book editing can soon begin!
  10. I am teaching a part 2 of the Class: 3 Loves: A Story of Love and an Experience of Loving on Jan 28th @ Sharma Center, with Robyn Lynn which features three luscious exercises on how to embody love (which we update). I am so looking forward to that! The last event was amazing and packed! save the Date details to follow, this one will be even better! $20 at door

And this is just the beginning!

Winter Update:I am splitting up this blogsite into several smaller sites

Some People have noticed that my Blogsite is so big and complex that trying to keep your attention on one thing can be as difficult as herding cats! So in honor of that and my past tendency to try to do too much all in the same place with too many split focuses, I will be simplifying my Blogsite Format and giving you another update and this lovely picture:

Yee Haw! ;)

Format Change for blogsite: I have made a choice to simplify the user experience by  keeping this as my main site as a master link directory to multiple dedicated blog-sites each featuring one topic.  Each service will have it’s own blog-site now all linked to this main site and with return links.  There will be sites for:

  • Divine Touch
  • Reiki
  • Storytelling
  • Touch Positive Culture
  • Meridian Integration Technique
  • Crystal Coil Amulets
  • Sustainable Culture Links in Seattle
  • GEM Gemstone Energy Medicine
  • Life Activations
  • and More!

So now when you go to my site you can just learn in detail about a subject and then go back to the main site to explore a different area if you are interested.

Health Update: It is getting cold! and I will be joining the All Star Fitness in West Seattle to get in shape. It is time to winterize myself again.  time to strip away to the essentials and make it easy to take care of myself with a good plan in my new location.  I have recovered fully from the concussion and am making a concerted effort to become healthier than ever before.  I also received a rather Miraculous Healing which has changed my whole outlook on my practice.  I am also making some blessed oils blends to use in my Spiritual Touch Sessions. It is so amazing what power presence has!  May I enjoy sharing this with others!

Blessings to you all and hope you are staying warm this winter.    :)

Daenin Wellness Fall Update! New Location, Declaration of Ministry and Touch Positive Culture

Hey, I am sending this note to you because I want you to know where I am, what’s going on with me and my business, and because I value how you have helped me develop my life’s work.

Goodbye Capitol Hill! I will miss your walkable restaurants and many familiar conveniences.Most of all I will miss walking to ecstatic dance. Daenin Wellness has been there for some time -at least 3 years. Thank you for all you have taught me and how you have nurtured me and my business. I am sad to let go of these things and yet I am grateful for what I am gaining and the new adventures in store in my new home. I will stay in touch with the ecstatic dance community and visit the hill often.

Hello West Seattle! I am not far. I am just over the West Seattle bridge. For now call for directions and address: 206-679-1363. West Seattle feels more relaxed and has adequate free parking! Yay! I have housemate who shares the sacred healing space with me.  I have my own separate space and a dedicated healing space, too. I am getting the lay of the land here now. Blessings abound!

New Practice Space: I am happy to report that my new practice space is quite lovely. I still have use of my double plush wide massage table, but now it is heated too. Yes! And it now lives in a dedicated sacred healing space with beautiful lighting and decor and a view of a tall stone Buddha in a garden under a tree. The practice space has big windows that open into a view of a big tree and lush vegetation all around. It’s private and comfortable. Some of my receivers have transitioned there already and really like it.

The Flood: Thank you for your support at the Touch of the Divine event. It was a huge success and really made a difference to help me deal with the damage done from the flood to my things and the mold issue that made it impossible to work or live there anymore. Thank you Teri Ciacchi and thank you Living Love Revolution for throwing the event. It was great to experience being supported by community so deeply and I hope everyone gets to have that experience, truly a blessing.

Recent changes for Daenin Wellness:

1. Declaration of my Ministry. As many of you know I have been a pretty spiritual guy for some time and in the past I have been framing my lifework as a wellness business. It has never really felt quite right though. I have had my resistance to religious dogma and not wanted to be associated with this and yet my approach to my life’s work has always been deeply spiritual. I also have resisted the mental approach to spirituality, that was never a good fit for me. I have always seen the temple of spirit as our bodies and always experienced spirit more kinesthetically and somatically. I was raised in 5 religions and have studied orthodox religions and their mystical counterparts. My grandfather was a reverend in the Science of Mind church and I had my reactions to that too. They have mostly been so “in the head” for me and confusing that It has taken me some time to own that I am really a kind of priest after all. My religion has been a journey to embody Love. For me dancing and healing touch are sacred and holy acts where I feel the Touch of the Divine. I have stories to tell feeling moved to speak like the Quakers, and my sincerest hope, now that I am a priest, is that the stories will inspire and not preach.

2. Reverend Status: I am a reverend in the Universal Life Church and I am capable of performing weddings and other ceremonies legally and all of my practices are now a part of my ministry. You will find more and more about this and about my personal practices within my ministry on my website in new pages. The messages are coming quickly, and I am changing a lot, so I will try to keep you abreast of the changes. As we are now in what the Modern Mystery School calls the “Time of Divine Union” and they are putting on Fusion Events. I am seeing the need for fusion everywhere. Where there are gaps, I bridge them with presence. As a reverend my practice is being in the heart and embodying this so deeply that my presence inspires others to remember being fully integrated within the deep, full, scope of heart-self within the dream.

3. Daenin Wellness supports Touch Positive Culture: Over the years of doing wellness practices and energy medicine and massage and Reiki etc. I have found that no matter how good I am at “being therapeutic” that people really have repeating hangups in many of the same places due to bigger cultural deficiencies. If I give someone exquisite touch or hold really unconditional loving presence and then they go back to their lives of no touch, or really unconscious touch and people who are not present or in their bodies, this can even be kinda traumatic.

I am tired of people coming back to me again and again because I am the only one or one of the few who knows how to embody loving touch in their lives. So I have chosen to ask myself: What really will lead to peoples wellness?

So what really makes a difference for people? My answers coming through have required major changes in my approach! There is no way around it, people need touch in community to be healthy. A baby without loving touch will die. I also discovered that people are starving for healthy touch and sexuality. There is so much shaming that has gone on in this world around sexuality and I do not believe that this has anything to do with a “divine plan.” I believe that people have often become neurotic when they have been touch-deprived and are also not often reminded of the Divine within by the touch they do receive. I feel deeply moved by people and groups who support “Touch Positive Culture.” And I feel even more moved by those who embody unconditional love so purely that it is palpable and even transfers to those they touch. I hold this as sacred.

I likewise hold ecstatic dance as sacred–where else can you go to experience not being in the mind and being embodied in the heart and not talking -with people of all ages? This a powerful and sacred thing to me. People come out of these dances transformed and having “religious experiences” without the religion or dogma.

So there has been this divide between sexuality and divinity that has seemed like too big a bridge to span for people in a such a sex-negative culture. That is why I am really moved by the emergence of Touch Positive Culture and I have added it to the embodied solutions I support. I see it as one of the most safe, effective and necessary ways to produce wellness for community. There is an organization in Portland called Love Tribe and I am helping to create a Seattle chapter for Love Tribe. Please check out http://LoveTribe.org They are really heart centered, high integrity people who are well-organized and putting on amazing events.

I have also been working with Rev. Teri Ciacchi and the Living Love Revolution as well as a group known as the Love Council which is here to create a Seattle chapter of love tribe and and puts on touch-positive events in Seattle.

To your wellness, in love and light,

Daenin

What does it take to reform healthcare? -Healthcare reform begins with Your willingness to recieve Love

daenin8ball9-9-09

I was on the radio 8 ball show on 9-9-09 and found myself once again in the role of storytelling- observing synchronicity in the questions and answers of the show participants and weaving together meanings into a message for community insight…

In This show someone asked: What is the matter with the health care system? What does it take to reform health care?

The answer came back with a song in position four the “heart” position- which has to do with love and relationships.   I thought about it and began piecing together the other bits of wisdom in the lyrics of the songs and the message was something that struck me hard.

Our health care system reflects the quality of our relationships.

How?

Well here are a few connections of health care as it “has been”:

Fear, Isolation & competition- as we are isolationist or “independent” we wait till the last minute to bring up what is important and then may require drastic measures which adds to the drama of our relationship or our wellness in life.  Are you really communicating your true desires early and clearly? The perception of lack and competition leads to more drastic “quick-fix” behaviors.

Here is what the emerging health care “can be now” if we so choose:

Love, Inclusion & Cooperation- as we are inclusive of what is going on for us and share our desires our “symptoms” and what is really our deep heart desire and support each other in creating our true desires our relationship and our wellness improves in many ways.

  1. When the quality of our relationships is good our immune systems work better- less unnecessary stress
  2. When their is positive passionate energy flowing it is easier to manifest and create a desirable life -increased lymbic function and endocrine health.
  3. We are more hopeful and believe in our power to effect change in the world- in areas such as health care for instance.
  4. It is easier to be a good friend when relationships are going well and it our friends and loved ones that in their care and love of us really prevent our needing lots of extraneous psychiatric help. To put in the positive, unconditional love is our best medicine.

So, to wrap it up. The “song answer” on the show was about a black woman who risked her life to cross the Ohio river when it was frozen to get to somewhere where she could be loved and accepted for who she is. How far do we have to go to get to the place that is true for us?  The answer is simple.  We get to have a profound heart connection as a people. We get to learn how to receive love and be courageous enough to pursue what matters to us on a heart level. When we are taking care of ourselves and each other and have enough hope and passion to know we can make a difference we will because we will be connected on a heart level to what really matters and we can all “get” that.  Lack and Abundance start as perceptions -they are contrived stories that manifest in the world based on our willingness to receive love and our courage to put our real desires on the table for everyone to look at.

Blessings to your wellness,

Daenin
