With Vibrational Healing Massage Therapy®
(VHMT), Patricia Cramer introduces a new paradigm
for health. What if the body were not solid,
not a mass of mechanisms to be labeled like the parts
of a car? What if the body were a flowing, liquid
process, continually engaging, interpreting, letting
go? What if health and well-being were as
fluid and irresistible as water eroding the most resistant
obstruction? One session with Patricia or
one of VHMT’s well-trained practitioners can let anyone
in on the enlivening possibilities of this new paradigm
for health.
Patricia Cramer began developing Vibrational Healing
Massage Therapy® in 1981 after 4 years of private
study with Pierre Pannetier in Polarity Therapy. VHMT
comes from Patricia’s experience dealing with her
own left brain damage, solidified ribs and spinal
column distortion from her birth. She also reversed
a 1977 diagnosis of two cancerous tumors in her lower
spine. Today she brings health to people in simple,
down to earth ways. One of her specialties is freeing
babies, as well as adults, from birth and other shock
related traumas. Patricia founded the World School
of Massage and Holistic Healing Arts in 1982. Staff,
students and a large clientele develop and use the
principles of VHMT as a daily practice, and skilled
faculty teach VHMT worldwide.
VHMT recognizes the body as a fluid process
through which vibrations pass similar to the sonic
vocalizations that dolphins send through sea water.
An integral part of any session is The Fluid Body
Model® --- one of 3 key distinctions that
teach us to acknowledge and trust the body in ways
we haven’t talked about before. This model addresses
not only the way we move and breathe, but the way
we think about moving and breathing and being in the
body. Imagine utilizing this liquid process, and listening
to communications of distress in the body as keys
to health rather than symptoms of disease.
A VHMT bodywork session is usually delivered
without oil and with clothes on. VHMT is
also useful in combination with many forms of bodywork,
including Swedish massage, Trager, Cranial-Sacral
and Foot Reflexology. A full session is usually 60
– 90 minutes long, has lasting results, and can be
done on a massage table, in a chair, or on the floor.
The practitioner uses 16 basic techniques
such as sensitive stretching, and compressing and
torquing to locate solidity, and to align, loosen
and connect the body. Held tension solidifies the
body. When tension releases, solidity breaks up and
vibrations pulse through the body. Tensions
reverberating out of the body take with them past
emotional and structural trauma. As this occurs, the
client can feel the release and begins to realize
in his or her own life the importance of two other
key distinctions of VHMT.
One of the distinctions of VHMT is Dis-ease
as a Strategy® (to not feel): a self-responsible
way of living whereby our feeling what is occurring
in the liquid body process replaces the self-numbing
that leads to dis-ease and provides access to self-healing
and growth. The remaining key distinction is The
Language of Healing®: a way of speaking about
our bodies and lives so that whenever we speak, we
access the depth of feelings and choices that ultimately
design our body’s health.
Perhaps the best part about VHMT is that it’s fun.
Practitioners seem to dance with the rhythms of each
body. Clients learn to welcome new feelings;
discomfort releases and vibrates free, like sonic
dolphin-songs emanating and dispersing through the
seas, making a new kind of music, a new paradigm of
health.
