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.

An Image Of Healing

A client sent me this picture from Mexico. She said this is how she felt during her healing sessions.

Join me at the Awakening Healing Axis Workshop in Bay Area, November 8th and 9th, 2024

Facilitators Tim McConville & Franny Harcey

I am super excited to attend this 2-Day Workshop at Pleasant Hill, California. I have been studying the Axis books for a few years now and have also been doing the Free Basic Frequency meditation: https://learning.awakeninghealingaxis.com/courses/BHFS

I feel this work combines the best energetic teachings of our times: The Healing Touch Program, Cyndi Dale, Barbara Brennan, Working with Guides, and Sacred Geometry. The Awakening Healing Axis skills have grounded my healing practice immensely, especially the deeper level of work with the Hara.

The workshop will be held at Hillcrest Congregational Church, 404 Gregory Lane, Pleasant Hill, California, 94523, on Friday, November 8th, and Saturday, November 9th, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Dive into the quantum reality of healing, track the subtilities of energy, and explore full alignment with all aspects of your multidimensional human and spiritual self!

Join us in raising frequency to support self-transformation, to live more and more from a place of joy, self-compassion, and love for self and others.

The Healing Dog: Berkeley From Oakland

Over the last ten years, my dog Berkeley has attended almost every Healing and Breathwork session —unless he decides to visit his friends in the building. 

He loves going to work, and he loves coming home. He takes his job and routine as a healing dog very seriously. 

Someone once told me the secret to a good life is having a dog. I have to agree and add that having a dog and being able to take him to work is the secret to a great life.

Healing: Intro To The Hara Workshop

Our world is experiencing major shifts in consciousness and energy. My current focus is staying grounded so I can hold space for my clients to access this flow. This focus includes diet, getting good sleep, meditation, yoga, and sustaining my energy level throughout the day.

When I consider energy and healing workshops, the ones that stand out to me are those that strengthen my ability to stay present and grounded.

I recently took a workshop with Amelia Vogler, MS, SEM, who describes herself as a grounding and Energy Medicine Specialist. Right up my alley. The workshop was called Introduction To The Hara. Here are a few paragraphs describing it from Amelia’s website:

I have been working with the Hara in my morning meditations for over a year now, and I have found using the Hara to be extremely helpful.

I made a good choice. Amelia has a lot of information about the Hara from a much different perspective than I have studied before. For one thing, she heals trauma by working with the Hara. She defines trauma as anything that makes us feel separate – separate from ourselves, separate from each other, and separate from God/GoddessSource /Spirit. By working with the Hara, we can release anything keeping us from integrating with all that is.

This is ‘only’ a two-and-a-half-hour class, yet I will be digesting this information for many months. This short format is perfect for me. Integrating new ideas into my healing practice takes me a long time. I don’t force the integration; I simply notice new possibilities emerging during my clients’ sessions. I can already see the openings due to this workshop.

Healing: The Pendulum

Before each healing session, I check my clients’ seven major chakras with a pendulum. At the end of the session, I recheck the energy centers again to see the effects of the healing.

I am not asking the pendulum, “How are my client’s chakras today?”

I ask, “What do I need to know to hold the best space for my client?”

I learned to use a pendulum in my first Healing Touch class. I admit that when I first saw the teacher use a pendulum before her healing demonstration, I rolled my eyes.

Thank God I learned to use a pendulum. It is such a useful tool. It focuses me on the most important part of my client’s healing. I have often been surprised by what the pendulum indicates, only to have that information confirmed at the end of the session.

When a chakra is compromised, there are many reasons why. I don’t have to know the why – and most of the time I have no idea – it is just helpful to know what part of the body the current block is.

Let’s look at the throat chakra. If this chakra is out of balance, it could be for a physical reason. My client could have a sore throat or may be grinding their teeth at night. Maybe they have undiagnosed acid reflux. The imbalance could be because of an emotional or mental issue. The throat chakra has a lot to do with communication. My client could be in the middle of writing a book and experiencing writer’s block, or they may have a limiting belief they have nothing of value to share with the world. Maybe they are processing self-confidence issues. They could also have fear about speaking their truth in a relationship.

I could go on and on about why the throat chakra is blocked, yet I don’t have to know why. My job is to hold space for them to relax, rebalance, and self-heal.

The Best Thing About Being A Healing Touch Practitioner

The best thing about learning Healing Touch is that you can really help your family and friends.

My mom had intermittent knee pain, enough to make it difficult for her to go on her daily walks. I talked her into some short hands-on healings. I had to be a little insistent because she didn’t want me to have to ‘work’ when I visited her. So these were super informal 20-minute Netflix-watching sessions done while we were sitting together on the couch.

Afterward, her knee almost always felt better. Sometimes, the pain returned the next day, but it has now been gone for a month.

The best thing about being a Healing Touch Practitioner is that I can help my Mom feel better. That’s what it is all about.

Did You Have A Headache, Tinnitus or Vertigo Yesterday?

On May 11, 2024, so many people had severe tinnitus, migraines, and overwhelmed nervous systems. Many of my clients, friends, and family from all over the country reported not feeling well. There was also a geomagnetic storm with Solar Flares.

I know that when I had debilitating headaches, I was in the most pain when there were solar flares. During this time, I subscribed to a free website for solar flare updates. I can’t find that website now, and after a short Google search, I found some websites charge money now. If interested in learning more, you can start here for more information on solar flare activity: https://spaceweather.com

I will update this post on my website when I find out more.

Our environment has a significant impact on our mood, physical body, and overall well-being. By being aware of our world, we can live healthier, pain-free lives.

Reiki And Healing

There are now many more new and exciting energy modalities, healing techniques, and philosophies available to anyone interested in healing. Many practices promise to access 5th-dimensional energy, quantum frequencies, and paradigm-shifting transformation.

For me, Reiki has been and continues to be the gateway to extraordinary healing states. I have taken many (like, a lot) trainings and workshops, and Reiki still feels like a foundational practice. Reiki has connected me to higher states of healing energy that are frankly mind-blowing.

Self-Reiki also stabilizes my physical body, helps me sleep, and prepares me for deep meditation. It grounds and connects me to new dimensions at the same time. As I continue to train in newer transformational healing practices, Reiki helps me integrate the new material much faster.

My experience with Reiki is that it is a life force energy that is constantly evolving as we evolve, personally and collectively.

My Book, A Business Of Healing, Was Approved As A Healing Touch Resource for Students

JeriBookCover
The Healing Touch Professional Association discussed A Business of Healing this month during the February HTPA Virtual Book Club meeting.
 
This book is now a resource for students who are becoming certified in HealingTouch. 
I never expected anything like this to happen. As I wrote the book, I was actually a little worried the  Healing Touch organization would not like me describing how I let go of my training to learn to trust the energy completely. I was nervous it might even separate me from the organization that gave me the foundation of my healing practice. 
 
I am so honored that the Healing Touch Program endorsed my book. I feel that everyone who is certified in Healing Touch helps bring energy work into our medical culture. It is also an excellent way of creating community, and especially as a solo practitioner, community is a tremendous support. Huge. I can’t imagine doing this alone.
