The Healing Touch, Reiki and Clarity Breathwork Practice of Jeri Lawson
Here is an inspired message from my Animal Reiki Teacher, Kathleen Prasad.
“Own It”
“Trust Yourself”
“Lean Into Your Fear”
“Go For It”
Thank you, Kathleen.

Last week was a crazy busy, reschedule-every-client-three-times, break through, break open, grab-the-sides-of-the-boat kind of week. Extremely wonderful, extremely intense. You know, the kind of week we all seem to be having at this moment in time.
On Saturday, I was desperately attempting to get caught up with life and be ready for work on Monday. My first goal was to get the laundry done. After starting three large loads in my building’s laundry room, I discovered the dryers in my building were not working.
I was not happy.
I had to instantly restructure my highly organized Things-To-Accomplish-On-Saturday list to get my clothes dry.
I pulled into the parking lot of Woody’s Laundromat and took the first load of wet laundry inside to throw in the dryer. I came back only minutes later to discover the tree by my car had just fallen over.
A very big tree. Roots were in the air. I was only gone for 5 minutes.
It felt like a message from the universe. In an instant I made a second list:
Stay grounded.
Be present.
Let go of List #1.

I finally wrote the article I had wanted to read when I first started my healing practice. I answered all the questions I had about how to support clients through chemotherapy energetically.
This is the culmination of 16 years of experience. Now all healers, especially Healing Touch Practitioners, may feel even more inspired to assist people who are going through chemotherapy.
It will be forever online and accessible at the Healing Touch Program’s Energy Magazine archive after January 5th. You can download it here in a PDF version and here in the flip-page format. The article is on page 25 through 28.
If you are supporting someone going through chemotherapy, please feel free to call me with any questions. You can make a tremendous difference in your client, friend or family member’s healing journey.
Many thanks to Energy Magazine Editors Karin Ogren and the Margaret Nies.

The more we receive, the more we can give.
There is a tremendous, yet subtle beauty, in the moment we let go and receive.
It is so profound to witness my clients relax into this receptive state during a Reiki session. Muscles release, breathing deepens, and energy begins to flow unobstructed through the physical body. There is often such an increase in energy flow, of life force energy, that my clients say they feel energized and relaxed at the same time.
This expansiveness, this receptivity, connects us to all of life. This healing state resets our nervous system, grounds and aligns our energy fields.
Now is the time to stay centered. Self-care is a powerful gift for us all.

“Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we’re so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act.”
– Ram Dass
It is time to connect with that which is greater than ourselves.
There is so much support, energy and guidance available for every one of us.
All we have to do is tap into it. It takes courage and commitment to take the time, quiet our mind, and let whatever needs to surface come up to be consciously released. It takes a tremendous amount of self-love and compassion to keep our hearts open.
Just by connecting with Higher Consciousness, we connect with All-That-Is, Our True Self, Our Highest Guidance, which is a profoundly healing state.
How can you connect with this healing space, with this inner wisdom?
Meditation? A walk in the woods? Music? A Breathwork session? A Reiki or Healing Touch Treatment?
Now is the time for radical self-care.
This is the time to clear and ground ourselves so we can act from our highest wisdom.
Jeri Lawson will be at a Breathwork Retreat today through Sunday, connecting with her highest wisdom. She is available for Healing Touch, Reiki, and Clarity Breathwork sessions again on Monday, November 21st, 2016 in the Temescal Area of Oakland, California 510-601-9632
I know I usually post on Friday, but I would like to share an excerpt from a talk Tosha Silver gave last October at Emerging Women Live. This video was made before the election, yet I find it very helpful now.
Check her out; she is brilliant.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Tosha.

Research has caught up with the ancient practice of smudging! This article by Sayer Ji is well worth reading, even though you have to navigate a few pop-up menus and other advertisements.
.
I have always found the smell of sage to be calming and grounding, so I have been smudging my healing space ever since I started my Reiki and Healing Touch business. Now science is validating this traditional intuitive practice.
.
It is now proven that the burning of medicinal herbs not only clears aerial bacterial populations by 94% within one hour, but keeps a contained room decontaminated for a full day after the smudging. Even one month after smudging, a room will still be clear of many pathogenic bacteria. I had no idea smudging did all this.

Animal Reiki can be very different from people Reiki. 🙂
Here is a wonderful video of an Animal Reiki session by Kathleen Prasad. Kathleen is the Founder and Director of Animal Reiki Source, and the President of Shelter Animal Reiki Association (SARA). SARA supports and inspires Reiki treatment and training programs in shelters and sanctuaries all over the world. Enjoy!
I would like to share some research about energy work supporting people with cancer.
“Growing evidence supports the potential benefits to patients with cancer when the best conventional care is combined effectively with complementary approaches (Deng & Cassileth, 2005; Deng et al., 2007). Patients want more information about the potential benefits of complementary therapies; in addition, they believe access to those therapies should be included in standard cancer care (Coss, McGrath & Caggiano, 1998).”
– The Use of Healing Touch in Integrative Oncology by Laura K. Hart, RN, PhD, CHTP/I, Mildred I. Freel, RN, MEd, CHTP/I, Pam J. Haylock, PhD, RN, and Susan K. Lutgendorf, PhD
This in-depth article was written for oncology nurses describing the integrative use of Healing Touch in conjunction with chemotherapy and radiation for cervical cancer patients. It can be downloaded from The Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI). Warning: If you go to the CHI website you may be there for hours. It’s fascinating.
The Use of Healing Touch in Integrative Oncology is a dense and informative article. There is even a breakdown of several Healing Touch techniques – magnetic connecting and clearing, chakra connection, liver drain and mind clearing – and how each technique benefits the patients.
There are many interesting ideas in this article that I could write about, but that would make a very long post. I will just note here how the article defines of words “complementary” and “integrative.”
“Referring to alternative modalities as complementary indicates that they are being used in conjunction with conventional therapy. When the modalities are considered integrative, they are being incorporated into the care delivery of the medical system.”
I think I will be using the word “integrative” quite a bit now – especially when manifesting a world vision of energy work becoming readily available in our medical culture. Yes!

After a healing, the most common statement clients make is “I feel so relaxed.”
Like they didn’t know it was possible.
They are not just relaxed, my clients are experiencing what it is like to be grounded, with their chakras open and their energy balanced.
It feels really good.
Being grounded and balanced is so incredibly healing. When my biofield is balanced and my chakras are open, I can best describe it as feeling expanded, energized, relaxed and grounded all in the same moment.
For me, it’s a simple, clear feeling.
When was the last time you felt deeply relaxed and balanced? What makes you feel expanded and open?
Singing? Running, Golfing? Painting? Reading In the Garden? Playing With your dog or walking in the woods?
There are many ways we can keep our auras open and clear – do the things that make you happy. You don’t even have to get an energy session to bring you into energetic balance, although it certainly helps.
And sometimes getting a healing is just about feeling good.
