A Workshop By Cyndi Dale: Keys to Activate & Energize Healing in 11 Dimensions

Cyndi Dale gave a two-day workshop a few weekends ago called Keys to Activate & Energize Healing in 11 Dimensions.  She taught it through The Infinity Foundation.

Cyndi is a gifted intuitive, healer and teacher.  I enthusiastically recommend taking at least one of her classes, especially if you are an energetic practitioner. She is energizing, incredibly verbal, and generous with her knowledge.

This workshop was focused on discovering the astral planes, the 8th chakra, and 11 known dimensions. The eighth chakra is particularly interesting to me because it can be used to heal across multiple dimensions and other realities. In the last few years, it has been evident that a lot of multidimensional access is happening in my client’s healing sessions.

The eighth chakra (above our head) is a silver energy center that is one of the keys to the science of the time-space continuum for transmutation.  Time and space are so fluid during sessions.  I have to have a clock in view at all times in my healing space, or I would have no idea how much time has gone by.

The initial intention for taking this class was not to learn new techniques, but to recognize what is already happening in my client’s healing sessions.  I did recognize many of the dimensions and healing spaces Cyndi talked about, and since the workshop, I am aware of new frequencies and possibilities.

All this may sound pretty woo-woo and new age, but these energies and states of consciousness are where my clients have healed headaches, chronic pain, and neuropathy. In these higher states of consciousness people have released emotional trauma and have connected with their inner guidance. Energetic healing is profoundly practical.

I have already listened to the class recording twice. There is so much information, and I am sure I will be going over this material a few times more.

Exploring Healing States: Steven Kotler

Steven Kotler is an author, flow researcher, and gravity lover.

I discovered his work after reading A Small Furry Prayer: Dog Rescue and the Meaning of Life.  If you like reading about animal rescue and dogs (I raise my hand), I highly recommend this book.

I then read his book, The Rise Of Superman, Decoding The Science of Ultimate Human Performance, and started following his Instagram feed. He has also designed a Neuroscience Flow Training for High Performance Professionals.

Over the years,  Kotler’s ideas, research, and writings on flow and optimal states of consciousness have given me fresh perspectives on what happens when I give and receive energy work. Receiving a healing session brings me into a flow state. Holding a healing space for another person also maximizes flow.

Healing is a state of flow.

Enjoy,

A Brief History Of Breathwork

The practice of circular breathing to experience higher states of consciousness was practiced in the ancient cultures of India, China, and Tibet.

In the self-awareness era of the late 1960s and early 1970s, two main styles of Breathwork re-emerged in Western Culture: Rebirthing and Holotropic Breathwork.

Rebirthing was discovered and developed by Leonard Orr. He was sitting in a hot tub experimenting with ‘conscious connected breathing’ when he experienced his own birth. Leonard credited Shri Mahavatar Babaji for inspiring him at his Ashram in the Himalayas.

One of Leonard’s first clients was Sandra Ray,  who went on to teach Rebirthing worldwide. Sandra is often referred to as the ‘Mother of Rebirthing.’ 

Leonard wrote on his website about Rebirthing sessions:

“People experienced the peace that surpasses all understanding,” 

Stanislav Grof founded Holotropic Breathwork. Dr. Grof had worked with many people therapeutically using LSD before it became classified as an illegal drug. In these psychedelic sessions, Grof noted the breathing pattern, especially at the end of the session,  prolonged the influence of the drug. Stan and his wife Christina began to research breath and breathing patterns and found that achieving non-ordinary states of mind with the breath was deeply and profoundly healing.

“In 1974, at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, my late wife Christina and I developed a new breathing method of self-exploration and psychotherapy. Because it was based on the healing effect of the holotropic state of consciousness, we called it holotropic Breathwork. The most frequent question that our workshop participants ask me how we discovered holotropic Breathwork. It is difficult to respond with one sentence; I would respond similarly as Albert Hofmann answered the same question about his discovery of LSD-25: “A serendipity and lucky chance.”

 – From the Grof® Legacy Training Website

There are many styles and schools of Breathwork now, so it is easy to find a practitioner and practice that resonates with you.

Clarity Breathwork was the first Breathwork training I received. Even after experiencing many other schools and breathwork practitioners,  I still feel it is the most powerful format to facilitate for my clients. That said, the woman I breathe with regularly is a Transformational Breathworker and studied with Dr. Judith Kravitz. 

Breathwork is my number one life-centering practice.  There is nothing more exciting and satisfying than sharing this healing with others.

Healing Touch For Body Pain

Good morning!  I am still feeling the effects of the healing which is amazing!  Wednesday evening I was able to get on the floor and get up without any help from my upper limbs!  And no pain!  Pain is starting to creep up again but could be because we’re on vacation… 
– Client after a session
Energetic healing is so good for the physical body. So often, clients come for a session to address stress or navigate a significant transition in their lives and find they feel so much lighter in their bodies after the session.
For physical tightness and discomfort, sometimes one session can create a state of ease in your body. Your body remembers what it is like to be relaxed. Sometimes, a series of three sessions may be needed to clear the blocks to your life force energy.
Energetic healing can also bring clarity and guidance for what you need next to keep feeling better: a regular exercise program, a visit to a physical therapist, or a phone call to the doctor.
It’s all connected.

The Miracle Of Breath Livestream Event

I will be giving a short testimonial for the free Miracle of Breath Livestream on September 22, 2023, ~ 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM California Pacific Time.

My Clarity Breathwork teachers, Ashanna and Dana, have asked me to speak about how Clarity Breathwork has helped my clients heal themselves of physical issues such as back pain, migraines, and vertigo.

Here is the link to find out more: https://www.claritybreathworkcourses.com/a/2147648246/2D9ShXhu

I am so excited. With Clarity Breathwork and my first Breathwork Practitioner Maggie Ostara, I healed the intense and frequent migraines that had overtaken my life. It had gotten to the point where I couldn’t go away for a weekend because I always became violently sick. I have been headache-free ever since discovering this amazing modality, and for the last seventeen years, I have helped many of my clients do the same.

I love my work! I can’t wait to talk about this incredible practice.

A Quote From Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, LL (AAN)

“When two people enter into a caring moment, [such as in Healing Touch], a new field of consciousness or possibilities is created. Both can share consciousness or tap into another field, the universal energy, the universal spirit of infinite Love, which in turn has healing possibilities.”

In this coming together, “The caring-healing moment transforms from a two-field to a one-field consciousness. Both are co-participants in the process.” 

Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, LL (AAN) in 1999

I am rereading the latest versions of the Healing Touch Program Notebooks:  The books have been revised many times since I first took the classes. I am getting so much out of them after so many years of practice.

There are many quotes from Jean Watson, a nurse who has been bringing the sacred into nursing.   I love, love, love the way she describes the healing space in this quote. I experience this consciousness every day.

Healing: Living, Dying and Near-Death

Last year one of my clients made her transition from this world. I received this text from one of her many friends the night before I was scheduled to see her:

“I’m sorry to text you in the middle of the night, but I wanted to let you know _______ passed away tonight. Thank you for working with her. The results of your healings were one of the few things we all saw that gave her peace and relief in the last month.”

At the start of most of our sessions, my client would be in quite a bit of pain (about a seven on a scale of one to ten). After the healing, she would be completely ‘pain-free’ (her words), sitting upright and breathing much easier.

She also said she felt much more peaceful and she looked so much brighter after the sessions. She talked about what was on her mind, her current process of healing, her wonderful friends, and her dealings with the medical culture. I didn’t say much, but I held a grounded space for her to express what needed to be said.

I was not with her in the last week, but when I saw her in the months before, she talked a lot about how she did not want to die.  Not because she was afraid of death, but because she loved life so much. She spoke of her garden, art that inspired her, and places she wanted to visit.  It was such a gift to get to know her.  Her love of life was inspiring.

It took me a while to process my own thoughts about death, healing, and this great mystery of life after this incredible woman made her transition. I have been writing and rewriting this post for a long time.

She left a space in my consciousness that I needed to explore. I ended up watching a lot of near-death YouTube videos that basically told the same story over and over. This one was my favorite:

I am so grateful. Every session in my healing practice is such a gift.

Healing: The More I Receive, The More I Can Give

I had to develop my self-care receiver skills to become an effective and grounded energetic practitioner.

I am continually surprised at how much learning to receive teaches me about giving.

Having sessions with other healers is one of the most beautiful ways I keep my heart open and stay in energetic alignment. Self-Reiki and doing Breathwork on my own are profoundly supportive (even life-saving), yet having another human hold space for me is a whole other level of receiving and releasing.

Receiving was only an innate potential that took me a long time to cultivate into a skill. Opening to receive connects me with higher states of consciousness, where I find greater creativity, healing, and guidance.

Investing time, money, and energy into my personal Breathwork and Healing Touch sessions is the best investment I make for myself and my clients.

Healing Sessions For Scanxiety

“I’ve been going through some intense scanxiety – cold fear of a looming scan…” 

One of my clients had a very important scan coming up, and she wrote a deeply moving email describing her experience of scanxiety.

What an amazing word.  The perfect description of what I have always thought of as one of the most difficult phases of healing from cancer: waiting for the next scan.

“I recognize some of the fear as the residue of past traumas – every scan I’ve had before this has revealed our worst fears… Some fear is rooted in love of self and life – a reminder of how much I want to protect my life, how much I want to live.”

Healing Touch and Reiki treatments have helped my clients stay sane and a little more grounded until the results come back. My clients are my heroes, and I am honored to be a part of their healing journey.

I am extremely happy to report that this client’s scan came back with very, very good news.
