The Feel for Things
My dad used to own a shipyard here in San Diego for over 30 years. When I was old enough I worked for my dad for well over 10 years and started out scrubbing the bottom of boats and shoveling sand and so forth until ultimately, he allowed me to start working in the machine shop.
I eventually became proficient at all of the machines in the machine shop, especially the lathe, and also became machine shop foreman. I got really good at getting a feel for how to be fast and accurate on the lathe where the things we worked on had to be in tolerances within a few thousandths of an inch or less than 1/3 the width of a human hair.
After a while I really started to get a feel for my interactions with the machines including the milling machine, the drill press, and all the machine shop equipment. I then ran the crane, the tugboat, and the cradle that hauled the 350-ton boats out of the water. In each case I developed what some people today call muscle memory but as a machinist I became very adept at running machinery.
I suppose you could say that my heart was in it because I love my father very much and really enjoyed the tangibility of making things that were physical and could hold in my hands. Of course nowadays my energy has shifted to integral health and working with what we call subtle energies that are related to the chakras and the meridians of the body. Things today that are considered very intangible and somewhat mystical.
And yet, not only are these intangible metaphysical aspects of our human being approachable and able to being experienced, I also have developed a very good feeling of understanding and facilitating the flow of these energies through me to my clients. Even to the point where I can innately understand the energetic makeup and the character of a person and then convey that to them as to what is their nature in this lifetime and what they came to do and what they came to learn.
But again, just like the shipyard where I learned to have a feel for the things that I was working on that nobody could tell me as much as I innately knew within myself how I developed that feeling, and by the way it's the same in any endeavor that you may do where you get the same kind of feeling or how to do it well.
It is the same for matters relating to integral health where though what we work on is intangible it is still discernible to our higher sense perceptions, and please understand that this is not limited to the practitioner. Anyone can develop these abilities because they are innate in all of us.
If you have a practitioner who truly is experienced an integral health, meaning mind-body-spirit, they will have developed this feel for what they do, whether it's what I do in energy medicine and Integral Chakra Therapy?, or the other practitioners we have here at the Bamboo Garden Wellness Center who are well versed in integral psychology, ayurveda, craniosacral, neurofeedback, and spiritual counseling and more.
To the extent practitioners develop this feel for what they do, this extends to remote work which is why practitioners like myself and others at our center can work with people wherever they may be in the world online with complete efficiency. Distance healing and energy work has been shown scientifically to be effective. But again, that is because the practitioner themselves have developed that feel for what they do.
And you can develop that feel for what you do.

Dr. Richard Jelusich, Ph.D.
