You Don’t Have To Be Stressed Out Or Sick To Greatly Benefit From Healing Touch

You don’t have to wait for something to “go wrong” to take care of yourself.

In fact, when life does become overwhelming, it’s much easier to navigate it when you have a regular self-care foundation.

Healing Touch is a beautiful and effective way to prioritize your well-being, maintain balance, and nurture yourself in ways that go beyond physical health.

I schedule a Healing Touch session at least once a month. Every time I leave that table, I am so grateful for the session. I feel so much clearer and optimistic.

Even as an Energetic Practitioner who experiences healing energy every day, receiving a healing provides a sacred pause—a moment to reconnect with myself and simply be.

Healing Touch: Opening To Your Intuition

While Healing Touch isn’t specifically designed to open up intuitive abilities, I have witnessed so many of my clients relax into a space where heightened sensitivity and spiritual growth frequently happen.


Sometimes, just one session can create this opening for my client. More often, a series of healings unblocks their energy centers, and they find their unique spiritual gifts begin to emerge. These gifts include healing abilities, telepathy, mediumship, clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairaudience (clear hearing), spiritual guidance, messages, or visions.


Many clients realize, to their surprise, that they are extremely intuitive and have been using these gifts throughout their lives. It is a joy to watch people experience a deeper understanding of who they truly are.


A whole new realm of life opens up when you become aware of your intuition. Intuition often leads you toward choices that reflect your true values and desires, guiding you to a more authentic, meaningful, aligned life.


Intuition is a direct line to something deeper—your subconscious, your inner wisdom, or even a sense of the divine. Becoming aware of it can make you feel more connected to yourself, others, and the world.


There’s also a sense of wonder. Intuition isn’t always explainable, and that mystery can be exhilarating. It invites curiosity, openness, and trust in the unknown.

Healing Touch For Lingering Post Covid Symtoms

In my Healing practice, Healing Touch has greatly benefited clients with long COVID or post-COVID symptoms.

These symptoms include fatigue, headaches, brain fog, shortness of breath, anxiety, changes in sleep patterns, and inflammation. These conditions have left my clients feeling frustrated, depleted, and invisible.

Several post-COVID clients have told me they feel 80% better after only one Healing Touch session. This is amazing and wonderful, but unusual. In my experience, it takes several sessions, a week or two apart.

If you or anyone you know has chronic post-COVID issues, suggest a Healing Touch session with a Certified Practitioner. It is obvious in one session how helpful Healing Touch can be.

Healing: What Is An Energetic Block In The Body?

A Healing Touch session can clear energetic blocks in your body’s energy flow.

What exactly is an energetic block?

An energetic block can be physical pain or tension. These blocks can occur in the body due to past trauma. Such trauma could include a car accident, surgery, dental work, or a sports injury.

Sometimes, a pent-up emotion can block muscle flexibility, mental clarity, and even that sense of well-being. Unprocessed or subconscious fear, guilt, or shame can also impede the flow of energy in the body.

There are so many reasons why we might be blocked. Sometimes our bodies simply forget how to relax, especially after a prolonged illness or a traumatic event like divorce. I find watching the news to be very “unrelaxing.” I always plan a decompression period after scanning the headlines.

My intention as a healer is to create a space where my clients can relax and self-heal.

Relaxing sounds so basic, yet it is a powerful state of consciousness.

The Healer Development Series: Starting, Growing and Sustaining Your Healing Practice

Last month I was on a Healing Touch panel on the benefits of having a healing business.

The panel is part of a long series of videos by the Healing Touch Professional Association (HTPA). These discussions are recorded and available online for HTPA members.

The panels cover issues and conditions such as brain injuries, addiction, spinal issues, anxiety, and Chronic Fatigue. The videos of these panels are excellent resources, and I have found them extremely helpful. I have learned a great deal by discovering how other practitioners have addressed the same issues that I have encountered in my practice over the years.

In preparing for this panel, two thoughts occurred to me that I would like to share.

The first point I really want to emphasize is that the world needs more Healing Touch Practitioners. Practitioners must be readily available to those who need them. I hope this panel inspires everyone to consider starting a healing practice if they are interested.

The second point is that I have always felt that when we assign financial value to our healing work, it makes it more credible. This elevates its worth in our medical and mainstream culture. This makes it possible for many people to schedule that first session.

After that first session, the work speaks for itself.

Shout out to Christine Salas, the Healing Touch Professional Association Community Director. She has really made this series the incredible resource it is.

The New Chakra Playbook

“In this book, we are questing to transform our past understanding of the chakras – which hold our spiritual and Earthly paths – into one that is more supportive of where our consciousness is now.”

– Introduction of The New Chakra Playbook

I have been working with the chakras for over 35 years and this is the best book that I have found on the twelve chakra system.

This book was written by Catherine Morgan, Franny Harcey, and Tim McConville. Franny and Tim are co-creators of Awakening Healing Axis, an energetic training program I have highly recommended before. Catherine has studied the AHA work since it was founded in 2017.

This book is good for beginners and experienced healers and mediators, which is kind of amazing. The simple meditations and exercises give you a direct experience of your energy system. It is profound in its simplicity and accessibility.

There is so much to gain and learn from your chakras. You can heal your physical body, calm your nervous system, access your inner guidance, and even make direct contact with the Divine Source. I know that sounds like a lot. That’s why I have given several copies of this book away.

The more time I spend with this book, the more I have gotten out of it. I have this book in my backpack and close to my meditation table. There is an eight-day exploration, which, I confess, took me about two months. I had to do some of these simple meditations every day for an extended period. I was ready for this book; it has opened me to so many new possibilities.

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: Relax For Strength And Stamina

Some people may believe that to relax means to surrender, to lower your guard, or to give up. However, the exact opposite is true. Being relaxed actually makes you more resilient, flexible, and creative. When we are at peace, we become more connected to our intuition and higher consciousness.

Calming and resetting your nervous system relieves muscle tension, lowers blood pressure, reduces inflammation, and improves mental function. It definitely lets you sleep better.

What helps you let go, relax, and unwind?

A walk on the beach? Meditating? Netflix and popcorn? Long phone call with a good friend? Maybe a Healing Touch session?

Healing and Community

Last Friday and Saturday, I took a workshop given by Awakening Healing Axis. The workshop was called Connect to Your Quantum Reality to Embody High Frequency Healing and Live With Ease & Joy. It was taught by Tim McConville & Franny Harcey. Perry Harcey was also there to record the whole workshop (that was a big job).

From The AHA Website

I walked into the workshop pretty raw after election week, even though I had been meditating and doing extreme self-care for the last several months.

I can’t tell you how much better I feel now after being in a group of energy practitioners for two days. I experienced a profound energy shift in the work we exchanged. Everyone in the class was glowing at the end of the two days. The Awakening Healing Axis protocols are amazing. I am so supported in the healing space. We humans are truly multidimensional beings.

Once again, I realized how important it is for me to come together in community as a solo Energetic Practitioner. Bringing our healing community together creates so much light.

Healing Session: A Good Thing To Do Even When You Think Are Too Stressed To Relax

There are times when you are so stressed you don’t feel like you can possibly relax. You think you must wait until the divorce/election/medical procedure is over before you can even think of feeling calm again.


Hypervigilance becomes habitual, and it may feel like it is keeping you from feeling vulnerable. Yet, what it is really doing is blocking your natural flow of life force energy.


By resetting your nervous system with a Reiki or Healing Touch session, you’re not just finding balance. You’re also opening up to new possibilities, ideas, and actions that can be more effective and stabilizing in all areas of your life. The best part is that everyone around you also benefits: the checkout clerk at Walgreens, your coworkers, friends, and especially your family.
