What is conscious energetic touch and how can it help me feel more present? The Tamura Method is designed to catalyze heart-body connection through touch and can help restore a sense of connection to one’s inner life and intuition. Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be at home in your body?

Conscious Energetic Touch with the Tamura Method

What people say following a TM session that uses conscious energetic touch:

“I was skeptical at first, but I somehow feel more here, more present in a way I haven’t felt in a long, long time.

“This is one of the most powerful trauma release techniques I’ve ever experienced. I had no idea I had so much anger and grief locked up in my stomach.”

“The world seems brighter, shinier, as if I had been trudging through thick fog that just cleared.”

“The last time I felt so held was when I was tucked into bed by my dad and read bedtime stories as a kid.”

“It’s like a tarp has been lifted, and now I feel more raw and tender; I know have this open wound I have to work on, but at least I know it’s there.”

The Tamura Method is a blend of supportive touch and parts work. It was developed 40 years ago by a psychotherapist named Wynn Tamura, who discovered a more direct way to unlock the hurt of the inner child. He describes this inner child hurt as that which causes us to be stuck in limiting beliefs, addictions, toxic relationships. The Tamura Method helps restore connection to your body, which allows the pain of the past that is disrupting your life to be released. After a TM session, you will feel like you did some energetic spring cleaning and have more clarity and connection to your intuition.

“In order to become whole we must try, in a long process, to discover our own personal truth, a truth that may cause pain before giving us a new sphere of freedom. If we choose instead to content ourselves with intellectual “wisdom,” we will remain in the sphere of illusion and self-deception.” — Alice Miller, The Drama of the Gifted Child

The Tamura Method uses conscious energetic touch as a way to catalyze connection to emotional pain stored in the body. By making contact with the body through touch, the psyche starts to naturally unburden its exiled feelings that have been waiting for a receptive presence to surrender. Through the use of conscious energetic touch, stuck emotions, such as grief, fear, and stress are released. The energy that was sequestered in the tight wads of fascia starts flowing. You feel more present and alive. You stop magnetizing the same toxic relationships from your past.

You start to heal.

During our upbringing, we lost the ability to maintain connection to our bodies because of anxious, addicted, and traumatized environments. The ground we stand on is dysregulated. Nobody can catch their breath. Our caregivers, the baby boomers, had no tools to deal with the painful imprints of our fast-paced, hyper-individualistic, productivity culture. We developed the mind’s gift of intellectualizing as a safe haven against the constant intrusions of safety, at the cost of feeling alive, safe, and present.

When we give ourselves a chance to reconnect with the old, painful stories held in our bodies, we give ourselves a chance to have a new life. And no one can create those conditions for yourself, other than you.

Let’s unclog the sink and get things flowing again.

Reach out and feel for yourself the effects of a conscious energetic touch session using the Tamura Method.
