Questions answered about the Maori healing sessions
For those of you who saw my last post about my Maori teacher coming to LA with some of her fellow healers, here’s more info.
These sessions are for men & women. Also, my teacher, Ata has developed a specialization in working with women who struggle with a myriad of female issues, including past trauma & fertility, although her practice & those joining her is not limited to this.
It looks like deep tissue bodywork. We use knees, elbows, hands, as well as props such as wooden sticks to reach deeply into joints & muscles that hold stuck energy & emotions. It's designed to be a tool for helping to release any obstructions that get in the way of you building your life, which include mental, emotional & psychic blockages.
These sessions take place in a group-style setting & is the preferred method amongst the Maori.
Maori people are often engaged in group gatherings & that applies to their healing as well. They utilize the group energy to contain many different powerful energies & emotions that come up during sessions. The group setting supports the deep healings that are needed.
Some people are laughing hysterically, others may be grounded & calm, while the people next to them are crying their eyes out; it’s all welcome & included amongst the group.
Unlike American philosophy, where you pay for an hour & you get an hour, Maori are more concerned with getting a job done rather than needing to stick to a strict timeline. Therefore some sessions can be a bit shorter, while others can be longer.The work takes the time it takes.
It’s a great privilege to have ANY Maori healers leave their land in New Zealand & they incur great cost to do so.
Your session may be started by someone non-Maori, but highly trained by them. This is typical. However, the Maori are paying attention & tracking every bit of your session & will often interrupt & take over from your initial practitioner in order to do something they see is needed in your particular case. You can expect multiple sets of eyes & hands on you depending on what’s going on with you & what’s needed at that moment.
I hope this answers many of your questions, feel free to reach out to me if there is anything else you'd like to know.
