Healing Touch Sessions To Support Spiritual Awakening

Healing Touch is a powerful tool for spiritual and personal development. Several of my clients are currently undergoing spiritual awakenings, openings, and deep transformations.

Healing Touch supports each person differently depending on their process and journey.

Sometimes healings help people stay grounded as they integrate new energy or shifts that arise in day-to-day life.

Profound breakthroughs often occur during sessions because healing allows you to relax physically, emotionally, and mentally. Balancing your nervous system is a direct way to open your inner world, reconnect with your higher wisdom, and even experience your thoughts as separate from your true self.

A Healing Touch session can create space for new insights, clarity, and a deeper understanding of who you are and what is possible.

Healing Touch: After the Dentist

Going to the dentist feels routine, right? We fit appointments in between work meetings and grocery runs like it’s no big deal.

But on a primal level, having someone work inside your mouth can be stressful for your body and nervous system. Even when you trust your dentist completely, your body may still feel threatened. Old childhood dental memories can resurface, and you can feel extra emotional after a simple cleaning.

A Healing Touch session can help reset the nervous system and restore a sense of calm. It’s a beautiful post-dentist modality—and a reminder that these are moments when we need to be especially kind to ourselves.

Healing Touch Quarterly Meeting 2/3/2026: A Taste Of Focusing

My healing community has four meetings a year. Everyone who is interested in energy, healing, and living their best life is welcome. Our next meeting is on Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026, from 6:30 to 8 pm on Zoom. Here is the Zoom link:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82732503140. You can just show up.

I am thrilled to have Ann Weiser Cornell, Ph.D., as our guest speaker. She is an author, educator, and worldwide authority on Focusing, the self-inquiry psychotherapeutic technique developed by Eugene Gendlin. 

Focusing helps you access your body’s intuitive wisdom, called the “felt sense,” to gain new insights, resolve problems, and foster healing by connecting with unclear inner bodily awareness of a situation. With these easy-to-understand steps, you can change the way thoughts and emotions are held in your body. The process is simple and profound, and truly life-changing. Really.

Healing: Feeling So Much Better

I have not written anything personal in a while. I try to keep these posts as uplifting as possible, yet much is happening in the world that is not so positive.

A cozy bedroom with a massage table, a blue pillow on the table, and a large window showing green foliage outside. A wooden desk and chairs are visible in the background, along with soft curtains filtering sunlight.

For me, the Holidays were pretty wonderful. Connecting with family was extra special this year. Yet, the world news around the New Year hit me hard.

I doubled down on my self-care, and I am doing all the things to stay balanced and grounded. I make sure I eat well, exercise, meditate, and don’t overbook my schedule. I also, of course, continue receiving my monthly Healing and Breathwork sessions.

The day I was going to receive my Healing Touch session last week, I felt pretty good. On the drive over, I thought I was doing quite well. Yet after the session, I felt so much better.

My body felt better – I was so relaxed and grounded. My mind felt clear, and during the drive home, I became excited by a new creative project. I am still feeling the peace from that session.

I am so grateful for energy work.

Music For Healing

I haven’t shared a music recommendation in a long time.

Here is one of my favorites. Duduk music. It is the most soulful and emotionally evocative music I have found.

Joanne Avison: Fascia and Healing

Joanne Avison’s YouTube channel is a wealth of information. I highly recommend setting aside forty minutes to check out this video. I am learning so much from her “fascia-focused conversations.”

She writes about the video above:

You’ll learn how chronic tension, anxiety, and emotional holding patterns can physically embed themselves in your tissues — and how micro-movements, breath, and subtle awareness can begin to unravel them.

She describes how to heal burnout, brain fog, a tight jaw, and irritability. She explains how stress can feel like a buzzing sensation. The body is truly amazing.

Telepathy Tapes: Season Two

Yes, folks, Season Two has landed. I promise only to write one post about it. It’s easy to get inspired by these episodes.

I cannot say enough about how excited I was when I found Season One. When people talk about humanity rising to “higher levels of human consciousness,” podcasts like this are markers of this cultural shift.

Released in late 2024, The Telepathy Tapes briefly unseated The Joe Rogan Experience as the #1 podcast in the United States and the United Kingdom. I will admit, I had a twinge of satisfaction (and hope) from this.

The Telepathy Tapes focuses on non-speaking individuals with autism who claim to have telepathic or precognitive abilities. I highly recommend starting with Season One and listening to the Episodes (before the Talk Tracks) in chronological order.

The episode I linked above will be especially interesting for anyone interested in the creative process. ENJOY!!!!!!

Cinthia Varkevisser Will Be Speaking At the Next Healing Touch Meeting

On Saturday, November 1st, 2025, our in-person Healing Touch meeting will begin with a potluck at 12:30, and our speaker will start at 1 pm. It will be wonderful to get together, see old friends, and make new ones. At the Hillcrest Congregational Church, 404 Gregory Lane, Pleasant Hill, 94523.

Everyone is invited who is interested – and this promises to be an interesting event!

We have a fascinating and gifted speaker, Cinthia Varkevisser, Licensed Realtor and House Healer. https://www.cinthiavarkevisser.com/ She will speak on the practical art of space clearing. Cinthia writes,

“Every home tells a story—make sure yours fuels your spirit instead of dragging you down. When you catch the energy quirks and flip them fast, your space starts working for you instead of against you. Sometimes it’s not the house at all, but leftover energy squatting where it doesn’t belong. Clearing out the heavy vibes, old baggage, and random hangers-on transforms your home into a space that feels lighter, brighter, and unapologetically yours.”

She will also share her personal healing journey of becoming a channel and intuitive reader, as well as the services she offers in her healing business. She offers personalized readings designed to provide profound insights and guidance. With a mystical blend of intuition, channeled source, and ancestral connections, she helps you align with your inner guidance and highest wisdom.
