Samantha is a smart, dynamic, heartfelt healer. As part owner of a holistic health business, she got the courage to call after a particularly bad few months. “Julie, I hear that you help business owners like those of us who are stuck.” “Tell me about yourself and how I can help you,” I asked.

are words I always associate with this time of year. Singing those words in community as a little girl, I re-member feeling swept away in rapture. I not only felt joy, I WAS joy. The feeling was palpable yet difficult to put into words. It could be sensed though in familiar faces, gleaming eyes, loving embraces, voices joined in celebration and the warmth of the candlelight as the organist carried the melody that sent our message out to the world. From a different vantage point now, I simply call that very palpable experience – Heart. Indeed that is where I felt it – right smack in the center of my chest. I believe Heart and the arms of Heart were present – love, care, compassion and gratitude – to name a few. Heart is what d hope for greater harmony among all. In those joy-filled moments we became stewards of Heart and felt Heart longing to live in and through us each day, in each interaction, in each project. No wonder we were filled with wonder and awe as that is the power inherent in the heart – my heart, your heart – in each and every beat. That magnificent organ that is so much more than a rhythmic pump for each beat carries an encoded message. We are the composers who determine just what that message Read the rest of this entry »

My journey into healing began many years ago when I sought an alternative to treatment for my son who was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. At that time the medical establishment’s only option was a pharmaceutical one. Unhappy with this, I searched for another answer and found Reiki – an energy medicine modality from Japan. Reiki was a blessing to my family; along with Bach Flower Rescue Remedy, it enabled me to provide relief for a child in a way that did not include side effects or potential long term complications. Reiki is a fine modality and provided much-needed relief for my son, but as someone professionally rooted in the scientific and business communities, it was not a practice I was comfortable integrating into my life beyond the walls of my home. As my son improved and grew into a healthy teenager, I drifted away from the study and practice of energy medicine, consumed with my career and professional endeavors, or so I thought.

Originally published in Energy Magazine: The official Publication of the Healing Touch Program December/January Issue.  Greetings from Lisa Mentgen-Gordon CEO, Healing Touch Program

Dear readers and HT community, Welcome to the December/January combined issue of Energy Magazine. As the holiday season approaches, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for Healing Touch. We feel that it is our loving and heart-centered community who make our jobs a pleasure and keeps the work of Healing Touch so successful.

We are winding down 2010, but the excitement is really building here at Healing Touch Program for 2011. Last month I reported to you that we had just finished our three year strategic planning and that we felt that it was important to communicate our vision, goals, and company values with our community.

Our business coach, Julie Wright, is an expert in taking businesses and people to the next level. She has taught us that when we make goals, we need to make “Big Audacious Goals!” Over the coming year we will be sharing more of our Big Audacious Goals and where we plan to be growing in the year 2011.

In this issue of Energy Magazine you will see an update and information about the national accreditation that we are moving towards. I would like to thank the many practitioners that are contributing their time and expertise toward this important accreditation for Healing Touch. In addition, I would like to thank Chris Gordon, Accreditation Project Manager, Janna Moll and Dale Ferg, Consultants with Energy Medicine Specialists, and Sue Walker, who is working directly with all the Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), these leaders are making accreditation with the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) a reality.

Also in this issue you will find the Healing Touch Professional Association (HTPA) review of what it has accomplished over the past year as well as the new goals for 2011. I attribute the growth and success of this professional association to Sharon Robbins, the Executive Director of HTPA. Sharon is an outstanding leader for HTPA and, as you can see, has wonderful things in store for 2011. She is helping all our HTCPs to grow and achieve their professional goals with the tools she is creating and providing through HTPA.

In addition to these two articles that show you where HTP is headed this year, Julie Wright has an excellent article, Energy Medicine Practice: Attracting Wealth in Your Practice, Step 2: Cleaning Up Messes, which is a continuation of her series (Step 1: Getting Clear, was published in the July 2010 issue). It is a must read for all who want to grow their HT business.

Our theme for the December issue is JOY, and I hope as you read the articles you will feel the JOY that Healing Touch has brought to so many and the JOY that we all feel in belonging to this amazing community. We are ever thankful for the heart filled contributions that Cynthia Hutchison, Healing Touch Pro-gram Director, continues to make in helping create our strong and blessed Healing Touch Community.

Lastly, I would like to congratulate Billy Courtney, editor of Energy Magazine and her team, Nancy Strick, assistant editor and Margaret Nies for accomplishing the publishing of 50 issues! We are extremely proud of this publication and feel that it is a great contribution to Healing Touch and the field of Energy Medicine.

May your holiday season and the New Year be filled with much joy, happiness, and success, and remember to take the time for yourself to create your own Big Audacious Goals! We look forward to working with you to help you achieve your goals in the coming year.

Happy Holidays!

Lisa Mentgen-Gordon CEO, Healing Touch Program
