I have been practicing Bowenwork for more than 15 years. The work continues to surprise and amaze me with its effects daily. From the very beginning I have been so grateful for what we call its “everyday miracles”. These miracles are the continual manifestations of the power of Bowenwork.

When I began practicing Bowenwork I felt, like most new practitioners that I was a fraud. I had very little confidence that I was on target. Looking back, I was off target in placement, lacked flow in my procedures and even performed procedures out of sequence or had interrupted sequences within procedures.
In spite of all these fumble fingers problems, clients had great responses. They relaxed on the table, noticed changes happening in their bodies, felt relief of pain and restoration of postural balance. It was amazing! I had great results even before I felt I had developed competence in my work. This doesn’t mean I got the same level of results after I became more competent, but that the work has such great potential even newbies can see success.
One thing I remembered from Ossie Rentsch, was ”Trust the Technique.” When I worried that what I was doing wasn’t effective i repeated that to myself, practicing patience and focused my intention rather than going over and over a procedure. Getting feedback from clients of their reactions over the following days gave me confidence as I heard their positive stories.
Lower back pain resolved with pelvic, shoulder problems that had baffled medical authorities resolved with the shoulder procedure during a demonstration. A sixty-five year-old life-long asthmatic experienced a 50% increase in her volume of air she could breathe immediately after the session.
These days simple surprises continue: a masters water polo player who came for severe back pain found after a few weeks of care that his 200 meter swim time had decreased by six seconds; a masters runner found his half-marathon time decrease by 7 minutes.
I welcome your stories of everyday miracles, of gaining confidence and the change in the quality of your work. Please share your stories, successes and concerns. I look forward to hearing from you.
