The Therapist
Jim Bucko LMT, RMT, Shamanic Practitioner
Raised in the 1960’s central NY, Jim Bucko spent his early
childhood in a diverse and inquisitive family, exposing him to a mosaic of
religious beliefs and practices. In the 1970’s and 80′s he joined the Navy and
studied Human Service Studies/Adult Education at Cornell University. Jim’s
journey into the healing arts began in the mid 1990′s.
A Shamanic Guide since 2000, Jim explores the relationship
between spirit and matter. The techniques of shamanism are surprisingly similar
in disparate cultures and throughout documented time and Jim has studied the
methods of shamanism as healing devices. A Usui (2007) and Karuna (2009)
Reiki Master, Jim possesses a deep knowledge of the body’s energy systems.
Jim is a NYS Licensed and Nationally Certified Massage Therapist
and enjoys working in varied modalities such as Swedish, Hot Stone, and
Craniosacral Therapy. As a healer, Jim recognizes that compassion is central to
teaching the importance of the relationship to spirit and living in balance
with self, others, and the environment. It is a philosophy of connection – a
philosophy that enables Jim to create bridges toward whole and full health.
With awareness of the Four Directions, I use a holistic approach
to healing, tapping into time-honored, powerful healing modalities to ensure
you ideally benefit from your sessions.
I approach my work with an awareness of Spirit, using Reiki
energy healing to repair the energetic field that influences the health of the
physical body and varied massage techniques to allow the body to release the
physical manifestations of energetic traumas. Gemstone healing powerfully
complements energy sessions.
Working in the Shamanic realm, I use intention to manifest
positive results for my clients. Many of these benefits will remain with you as
you continue on your life path. Shamanic work brings the body and spirit
into a state of wholeness. Initial sessions include an assessment of the ways
that the body and spirit are asking for healing. Through our discussions
and energy work, we begin to spiritually connect with the unseen realms –
affording an opportunity for profound healing. Ritual and intention play
a large role in the process. Integrating Shamanic work with Massage and
Reiki offers a multi-dimensional, holistic approach to wellness. . I aim
to connect with my clients at the level at which they are ready to receive
healing – in areas where healing will be most beneficial.
Four Direction Healing sessions use the four directions in
service of your highest good. This deep healing work leaves you with increased
vitality, relaxation and an elevated sense of overall wellbeing, allowing
energy to flow and creating space for abundance in your life.
Peace.
Jim
