Table warmers AGAIN - bad energetically?

[Rare]

I had dismissed table warmers from obviousness some time ago... an electrical field underneath my client? Rrrrriiight...

However, a naturopath I've talked with saw a demo of some sound healing which involved some kind of table warmer... from some respectable folks (think Steven Halpern).

So I'd like some opinions from those who incorporate energy work or subtle awareness into their practices... have you found table warmers to interfere, have negative effects, or anything like that?

I just heard about this sort of thing this weekend. I was talking to a lady (also a naturopath) that told me they gave off "bad energy." Aside from her energy work, she also does not like them for health reasons. She has had a stroke(?) or some other condition and the elecromagnetic field from the heating pad gives her a headache.

Personally, most of my clients would rather have the warmth of the heating pad then energy work. But, to each their own.

You can always do what people with the same concerns about their electric blankets do....they turn them on, heat up the bed then turn them off.
I felt the coils/lines once on a heated table pad. I would, and have once, throw both of my heating pads on the table...warm it up and then put them aside. Granted I had time before the massage with none following.

What about throwning a blanket in the dryer before client shows up and putting it on the bed right before the massage. They could lay on it and then put another blanket on top. Not possible if you don't have a dryer at your lacation but just a suggestion.

Yeah, I wouldnt want to lie directly on those coils. That is why my heating pad is under a woolie.

I know many therapists in my area us a big fomentik bag filled with hot water for their clients to lay on. But for me, that is just too much putzing around and then there is always the chance the bag may spring a leak. Or with my luck, I will be draining it and lose control of the dang thing and have water all over the floor.
