Healing Touch For Pain In Hositals

One of the greatest practical benefits of Healing Touch is pain relief. I see it over and over in my practice.

In my vision of a healthier future, Healing Touch would be available in every hospital — especially for patients recovering from surgery or accidents. This isn’t far-fetched: Healing Touch can significantly reduce pain without medication. A session can improve patient care while also saving hospitals money.

If you or a loved one needs to be hospitalized, ask if Healing Touch is available.

Many nurses are Healing Touch Practitioners, and a growing number of hospitals now have integrative healing clinics.

Healing Touch In Hospitals

Did you know Healing Touch is used in over 100 hospitals worldwide?

That’s right – this heart-centered energy therapy isn’t just for private practices or wellness centers. Hospitals, cancer centers, and integrative medicine clinics are bringing Healing Touch into patient care, helping to ease pain, anxiety, nausea, and stress right alongside medical treatments.

It’s gentle, non-invasive, and evidence-based, making it a powerful ally whether you’re facing surgery, chemotherapy, chronic illness, or just the everyday wear and tear of life.

If you are spending time in a hospital, ask if Healing Touch is available.

Twenty-Eight Years Of Healing Support

“Jeri Lawson came into my life as a healer exactly when I needed her the most. After my cerebral hemorrhage, I couldn’t walk, speak, talk and I was cognitively incoherent. Jeri first came to work on me in the hospital. Gradually Jeri made a difference and was an essential ingredient in getting my life back. Twenty-eight years later she is still a radiant, resourceful and effective healer in my life.”

– Katherine Sherwood

I watched this video after our session yesterday. It’s hard to believe it has been twenty-eight years. It brought back so many of our pivotal sessions. These include moments after surgeries, in hospitals, and as Katherine prepared for major shows. I am so incredibly grateful and lucky to be a support in Katherine’s life and art-making journey.

Healing From Cancer

I have been energetically supporting a very vibrant seventy-four-year-old woman who has healed herself of esophageal cancer. She decided to heal herself with six months of immunotherapy (one infusion every other week) to shrink the tumor, then laparoscopic surgery to remove it. After they removed the tumor, they found it was benign.

At one point toward the end of the immunotherapy, she texted me that she felt quite sick and depressed, especially because she wasn’t eating enough.

I did a short healing session using Healing Touch clearing techniques because that’s all the time I had that morning. I then had an entire session open up later in the day (funny how that happens), and I gave her a full distance healing. She sent me this text hours after the session: 

“Jeri, you are amazing. I am sitting here eating a two-egg omelet. I feel so much better. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. See you Friday.“

After her surgery, I received this text:

The surgery went well and I am recovering nicely.  Home from the hospital after only two days! 

The last update I received until her next session was:

“Just got the pathology report yesterday. I have no cancer. All the biopsies and tissue analyses are negative, and all margins are clear. Thank you for all that you do and did. Much love and gratitude.”

Healing Touch is a powerful support in healing from cancer and its treatments, especially on those low-energy hump days.

I visualize a day when everyone can access energetic support after an infusion or surgery. When Healing Touch is integrated seamlessly with conventional treatments to promote overall well-being and enhance recovery. I see a world where healing is truly multi-dimensional and accessible to all.

Healing In Hospitals

A quote from the book: A Business Of Healing

“Many of the “miracle sessions” I have experienced with my clients have been in hospitals. Getting energetic healing modalities such as Reiki and Healing Touch into our medical institutions would eliminate so much suffering and promote vital self-healing. If there is one way this book may influence the world may it be to encourage energetic healing in hospitals. Even one healing session in a hospital can create enough energetic support to turn a patient’s healing process around. Energy healing in hospitals would greatly shift our medical culture.”

“I also want to say that everyone can hold space in the hospital for themselves or a loved one. Prayer, meditation, or pujas are all so helpful. Even when it does not feel like you are doing anything, let me assure you that you are. You will feel it, experience it, and know it on a deep level the more you do it.

One grounded centered person can shift the energy of an entire room.

We. Are. More. Powerful. Than. We. Have. Ever. Imagined.

A Business Of Healing By Jeri Lawson

JeriBookCover

 

This feels like an odd week to announce my book. The orange sky, dark days, and fires have added another layer of craziness to our lives. My family in Oregon almost had to evacuate their home. These are crazy times.

So, that being said,  The book I have been writing for the last year is now available.

It is not a book about the euphoria of healing. This book is about my experience as a professional healer over the last twenty-five years.  There are plenty of wonderful and inspiring books written on Reiki, Healing Touch, and other energetic modalities. This book is about issues and paradoxes in my practice that I couldn’t find in books by other healers, things that took me a long time to understand on my own.

It is about how I learned to trust the healing process and let go of everything blocking me from being fully present for my clients. How I learned to hold an energetic space that would allow others to self-heal.

♦

“It took me over twenty years to develop the ability to completely trust the energy. To understand that whatever happens during a healing is, and will always be, perfect. This trust has become an embodied skill. Now fully embedded in my muscle memory, this healing skill is my superpower.

We are all capable of accessing our unique superpower, and it certainly does not need to take twenty years.”

One Healer’s Thoughts In The Healing Space

As a Reiki and Healing Touch Practitioner, my thoughts are a tangible part of the fluid, living intelligence that is the healing space.

Much of the time there are no thoughts during a session, yet when they appear I have learned that they can give me valuable insights into the nature of my client’s healing process.

I remember when I first realized this. Many years ago I began a healing with a new client, and as soon as I touched her leg I instantly started having thoughts about my own childhood. I started thinking about how much I had longed for a dog when I lived in a place that did not allow pets.

I was very judgemental about thoughts that came up in my sessions, especially when I first began my healing practice. Why was I thinking about myself and my childhood? Why was I not focusing on the healing session, the client, and experiencing the healing compassion of sacred space?

When the session was over, the client shared with me how much she had been longing for a relationship that had just ended.  She had finally realized in the treatment that even though her heart was broken when her boyfriend broke up with her, he was not the partner she really needed in her life. She had released the longing she had been carrying for months. She told me how clear, grounded and grateful she now felt. A great weight had been lifted.

When she said the word longing, I realized that was the exact energy I had noticed when I had thoughts about not having a dog. My thoughts were obviously a part of this mysterious healing process. I was amazed.

Again I understood that if I really wanted to support people with Reiki and Healing Touch, it was time to let go of my judgments and expectations of what should happen during a healing session. I needed to just pay attention to what was actually occurring.

I would like to point out here that even though “I” was thinking personal thoughts, there was no emotional attachment to the thoughts. Even though the energy of longing was appearing in the space, I was not feeling longing. It’s difficult to describe. Kind of like a kinesthetic awareness of a cloud floating by in the sky, except I am both the cloud, and the sky, and the observer all at once.

Sometimes when I begin a session my brain starts firing off like the 4th of July. There is so much stimulating mental energy and monkey mind in the healing space that sometimes I even see little sparks around my eyes. When this happens, I know whoever I am working with is rebalancing some intense mental energy and I feel a direct connection to it. This connection makes it easier for me to hold, channel and just be present in the healing for as long as is necessary.

There have been so many sessions in which my thoughts have been greatly beneficial to the healing. This could be a very long post if I tried to write about them all. Once I let the belief go that I should not have thoughts, everything became so much easier and I could hold a much more powerful healing space for my clients.

Traditional Aboriginal Healing

I found this extraordinary video in a CHI (Consciousness and Healing Initiative) email newsletter. Watch how traditional Aboriginal healing (Ngangkari) is being integrated into the medical clinics in Australia.

(CHI) exists to evolve the scientific understanding and real-world application of consciousness and healing practices, so that individuals and societies are empowered with the knowledge and tools to ignite their healing potential and thus lead more healthy, fulfilling lives.
