Healing Touch For Mental Health
Clarity Breathwork: What’s In The Way Is The Way
What’s in the way is the way.
I find myself frequently repeating this statement, especially in Breathwork sessions. Becoming conscious of what is blocking you physically, emotionally, or mentally is how you discover what you need to heal. The resistance contains the healing.
It’s natural to want to avoid pain and unpleasant emotions like shame, grief, and fear. Yet, to breath into whatever is arising – whether that is a pain in your lower back or a complex emotion – is how you come back into balance and peace.
Of course, not all healing requires a deep dive into resistance and a dramatic release. So many incredibly effective breath sessions are basically a gentle relaxation of the nervous system. Some sessions are even a tangible experience of spirit.
As an energetic practitioner, I see this as my job: To hold a safe, grounded space for you to connect and process your greatest fears and emotions, if that comes up to be integrated or released. To hold a space for you to find your own answers.

Healing Touch In Hospitals: A Wonderful Video
I love this video!
It shows how beneficial energy work is in hospitals.
Healing Touch is such a beautiful way to take care of each other.

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.

Energetic Healing Can Help Highly Sensitive People Feel More Comfortable In The World
Energic healing can make it possible for highly sensitive people to feel more comfortable in the world.
Over the years, I have worked with many clients who have Sensory-Processing Sensitivity. According to Elaine Aron, SPS is found in 15 to 20% of the population. She began researching high sensitivity in 1991 and has written many books on the subject.
Highly Sensitive People are often overwhelmed when in large groups of people, agitated by loud noises, and find themselves continually aware of other people’s emotions.
Often these clients feel bad about themselves, how they never fit in as a child and were labeled antisocial. They may have been told that they were too emotional. When they come to their first healing session, they talk about feeling like something is wrong with them, instead of understanding that they have a gift.
Experiencing their body in a calm, deeply relaxed state begins to rebalance their nervous system. So many of my clients have learned to self-regulate their energy and navigate their lives with more joy… and the world needs more joy.
Even one healing can make a huge difference.

The Gift Of Regular Healing Sessions
♦
A short series of healings can reset your nervous system, body, mind, and, therefore, your experience of life. Energetic sessions provide the space for you to relax and deeply rebalance, making it so much easier to connect with your inner guidance, creativity, and life direction.
♦
I have clients that schedule sessions every week, every two weeks, and several that come once a month. Others book regular sessions for a fixed period of time to address a specific issue. They might be focusing on anxiety/panic attacks or want energetic support while going through a divorce. Several clients have found Healing Touch and Reiki sessions deepen their daily meditation practice.
♦
Here are two testimonials from clients:
♦
“I personally received several healings from Jeri for an undiagnosed condition. I was just out of energy, and at 67, I felt like I was nearing the natural end of my life. After a series of “distant healings from Jeri, I have the energy of when I was in my 40s. This took several months to unfold. I am beyond grateful for Jeri.”
“Jeri, You are the most gifted healer I’ve ever met and felt. Thank you for what seems like a lifetime of service. I am so grateful for that session today. I am pain-free and it makes me feel ready for Thursday’s surgery. Xoxo”

Healing Touch Certification: Is It Worth It?
One of my Healing Touch friends recently asked me if I thought getting certified in Healing Touch was worth it. We have both been certified for many years. She is very sensitive to energy and knows she could have begun a hands-on-healing practice with just the first-level workshop.
In my experience, it is definitely worth it. I needed a thorough foundation to start offering energetic healing to people, especially since I had a business and was asking for money. I loved doing healing work, but did not trust it as I do now. My book, A Business Of Healing, describes my process of fully trusting the energy.
Becoming certified in Healing Touch Program is a huge commitment and usually takes at least two years. Just a few of the many requirements in the Program are: you have to meet regularly with a Healing Touch Mentor for at least a year, do a minimum of one hundred documented sessions, read a long list of books, write reports, receive healings from practitioners of other modalities and take all five levels of the workshops.
It was more work than Graduate School.
Another benefit to studying a modality like Healing Touch is that you learn the language. Language creates community, and the community has been an essential resource for me as a self-employed Healer.
All the techniques I learned in the Program are part of this language, a solid foundation to communicate with other practitioners. When discussing how to work with specific conditions, like Migraines or Anxiety, I can say, “I use a chakra connection rather than a mind-clearing if the first chakra is compromised because … ”
The Healing Touch community in the Bay Area is also incredibly knowledgeable. Many are nurses, doctors, shamans, hospital administrators, and healers of other modalities. I have called upon them many times to ask about chemo drugs, hospital procedures, or questions about specific conditions such as MRSA. I have seriously brilliant colleagues, all with different areas of expertise.
Also, I frequently refer other Healing Touch Practitioners. I have clients with Mothers going through Chemotherapy in Florida or friends undergoing surgery at UCLA. Even if I don’t know a practitioner personally, if that person is certified, I know that they are committed to the healing work, grounded, and know the energy body. They have to if they made it through Certification. 🙂
You can check out Healing Touch Program and Healing Beyond Borders to learn about Healing Touch. These are two separate organizations. In the Bay Area, our two teachers are Laurie Ratto of the Healing Touch Program and Anne Secklinger of Healing Beyond Borders.
I ended the conversation with my Healing Touch friend by commenting, “We would not even know each other if we had not studied Healing Touch.”

Energetic Healing and Self-Regulation
Self-regulation is an essential life skill.
It is how you balance and manage your emotions, thoughts, and actions to sustain a healthy lifestyle. Self-regulation helps you achieve overall life goals and aspirations.
Self-regulation is the difference between eating a whole bag of potatoes chips when you are upset instead of maintaining a healthy diet. It’s the difference between yelling at your partner instead of calmly talking through a problem that has upset you.
Self-regulation is something we each do every day with varying degrees of success. Anxiety, depression, binge eating, and self-medicating can happen when there is a lack of effective self-regulation.
You can learn to self-regulate more efficiently by receiving Healing Touch and Reiki sessions. There are so many energetic meditations, practices, and tools!
As an Energetic Practitioner, one of the many energy patterns I might find in a first session is that I am working with a person with a high abundance of life force energy in their physical body.
This is a good thing… Who doesn’t want more energy? Yet, self-regulating so much energy can be tricky. An overflow of energy can be experienced as anxiety. It can be overwhelming and make my client feel edgy, nervous, overreactive, and even like they may be having a panic attack.
When I work with clients with this energy signature, I often recommend daily exercise to help them self-regulate this energetic gift. Yoga is very helpful in keeping the body’s energy flowing and grounded. Running, going to the gym, or hiking can also help these high-energy people feel balanced and clear.
Energy work can help us live better and enjoy life more.

Letting Go Is Healing
“Letting go is like the sudden cessation of an inner pressure or the dropping of a weight. It is accompanied by a sudden feeling of relief and lightness, with an increase of happiness and freedom. It is an actual mechanism of the mind, and everyone has experienced it on occasion.”
From page 8 of the book Letting Go, The Path Of Surrender by David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.
In this book, David Hawkins states that the resistance to painful emotions is more painful than actual emotions.
This book is brilliant. It is about how healing it is to experience all your emotions, especially the difficult ones. Usually, when we feel overwhelming emotions like fear, anger, rage, worthlessness, or grief, we tend to suppress, repress, express, or escape them.
Hawkins instructs us to locate the sensation of the emotion in our body. Is it in your throat? Abdomen? Head? What happens when you just connect with it? Hawkins recommends not following your thoughts about the emotion but feeling the emotion in your body and letting the emotion move through.
This book has a very simple message that is profound. It has given me a deeper insight into my work, and life. I highly recommend it.

Tara Brach: Facing Fear In A Traumatized World
I find this video calming.
Tara names many of the things we are all feeling. She states that the essence of trauma is feeling cut off. In times of great fear we energetically shut down and that disconnects us from our soul, spirit, and our wholeness. If we don’t deepen our attention, life is easily hijacked by fear.
I have listened to this video many times and I receive deeper insights each time.
