"My wife heard about Mandria
Healing from a friend, and had been seeing Rachel and Mark for
several months. When she suggested that I give Mandria Healing a
try, I thought, “I’ll humor her because whatever is happening
with her is good and I want to encourage it.” I know that there
are all kinds of supposed therapies – for all I knew, Mandria
Healing could be something like shoe magnets. I
initially went to see Rachel and Mark to support my wife. When
it came time to answer the question, “What would you like to
accomplish today?” I asked for help with my equestrian riding.
So I got up on the table, thinking “La, la, la, maybe this will
help my riding”, but with no real expectation of the huge effect
that working with Rachel and Mark would have on my relationship with my
wife and the profound changes I would experience in becoming
comfortable in my own skin.
My wife and I are avid equestrians. We compete in “eventing”
which is like a triathlon for horses: dressage, stadium and
cross-country jumping. The rider has to send just the right
signals (aids) at the right time and none of the wrong ones. In
riding, balance is paramount. Mandria Healing has helped me
with the physical and psychological pieces of staying balanced,
being focused and using my core strength. As I have become
better at maintaining balance while I ride, my life also has
become more balanced. Everything has gotten better: my riding,
my marriage, a sense of balance in my approach to life. It was
not what I would describe as a paradigm shift – the changes have
been slower, more subtle.
I have been married for nearly 40 years. In a relationship,
there are always patterns: some really good, some awful. In our
marriage we were leaning toward volatility, not serenity and
balance. The effects of Mandria Healing on our relationship
have been absolutely awesome. It seems to have softened some of
the awful parts, in that it changed how we relate to each other.
The relationship is smoother, more peaceful now.
Mandria Healing brings issues out – it shifts things
around, and offers some release. But release isn’t always free.
One of the aspects of my personal history that Mandria Healing has helped me deal with is years of childhood sexual
abuse. Childhood sexual abuse permeates every aspect of the
victim’s life. The memories are so painful that you lock them in
a closet. Sometimes Mandria Healing has been painful
because it brought closer to the surface things I thought I’d
dealt with decades ago. After one particular session, I felt
sick for several days – the session had brought up stuff that
was pretty ugly. So you wait it out, and then it feels like
something huge as been lifted. I trusted that the discomfort was
temporary and an integral part of attaining a long-term goal:
serenity.
In riding, in my marriage, and in my own sense of peacefulness,
Mandria Healing has helped me address issues in small
increments. The fascinating part to me is that I don’t have to
manage it intellectually. The idea of serenity had been kind of
abstract, but I’m beginning to get it and experience it in my
life."
