Entrainment

I mentioned “entrainment” earlier. For those of you experienced in receiving massage or bodywork, you may have noticed a common starting practice. The practitioner will begin by gently placing their hands under the base of the skull or back of the neck if the client is face up or one hand at the sacrum and the other at the base of the skull if the client is face down, or something similar. When we are first learning, we are taught to do something like this to get our client “used to our touch.” The reality is far deeper. The reality is that the practitioner is “entraining” or synchronizing their bioenergetic field with the client’s in the same way that metronomes synchronize. This entraining of fields is absolutely essential to get “healing” results.
