That brings me to my third point. There are two major areas where staff and students generally ask for help. The first one is in the case of an acute injury, such as a sprained ankle from gym class or a burn from science or cooking class. In these cases I frequently use the injured student's very empathetic friends to help out. I provide them with instructions in how to do "air-strokes" as they term it and what to visualize both as the "practitioner" as well as the recipient. The second area encompasses other aches and pains, with headaches and stomach aches topping the list. The problem that arises in the school setting is a lack of time. A colleague or a student or I have four minutes before the next class and help is urgently needed. Here is what I do: I take a few deep breaths to clear my mind and to
centre and ground myself and ask the client to do the same. Then I inquire
about the specific problem they want addressed. I state the intention,
mostly silently, for the energy field to be balanced within whatever time
is available. Then I focus my intention entirely on that, leaving room
though, for involving the clients with visualizations or voicing whatever
their fears, worries and anxieties are that are causing the temporary pain
to express itself. Before the three or four minutes are up-especially in
the case of the students-I notice a marked improvement in the field. My
observation most often coincides with the student's remark, "I feel much I have learned that TT can make a difference no matter what the circumstances may be as long as I, as the practitioner, am very clear about my intent and my focus. Grounding for both the practitioner as well as the client is also of utmost importance. That "energy follows intent" has been proven to me over and over, especially when I give treatments to a student while I am in the middle of teaching a class. It does work even under those circumstances. TT does not necessarily require peace and tranquillity or a longer period of time to achieve the desired result. Perhaps because there is so little time, I don't have the luxury of entertaining any thought of outcome and therefore allow myself to stay completely open for anything to happen. A number of the students use the basic principles of TT now on themselves and their friends to help each other out. The calming effect TT has on both sides is remarkable--a particularly striking and pleasing side effect in a highly charged place like a high school.
