Healing Touch For Long COVID

Dear healing miracle worker, After our session, my COVID fog and headaches have stopped. This is after four years of symptoms. Huge love and gratitude for you. Thank you for healing me. Hope to see you soon.

– David Frigstad, CEO of Frost And Sullivan

David had one session with me on May 22nd and sent me this update last night, July 20th. He generously allowed me to use it as a testimonial.

While one Healing Touch session can produce miraculous results like David’s, it usually takes three to five sessions to create a lasting shift. You will feel the difference, though, in the first session.

If you or someone you care about is suffering from long COVID, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), or other immune system issues, Healing Touch can make a difference.

Flow: Healing, Art And Life

Healing often involves altered or higher states of consciousness. As an energetic practitioner, I learn so much from listening how other spiritual seekers, adventure athletes, and artists access their flow states.

These experiences are difficult to describe. Yet, the more we try to acknowledge these higher states of consciousness, the better we can live our lives.

Sharing them helps us. Accessing them is essential.

It’s that feeling of flow, that it’s simply all moving. I’m not pushing anything; nothing’s pushing me, and that’s a very calm place.

– Tom Knott

This video of artist Tom Knott is a beautiful example of how energy, art, inspiration, and life interweave. He talks about getting out of the way of the creative flow, even as it moves through his body, head, and hands. He talks about how his visions come to him, his meditation practice, the feeling of coming into unity with the world, and the adventure of art making.

This video is from a compelling series about the artists living on Hornby Island.

Healing Touch Video

This video was done in 2015, yet it still gives you a good idea of what a Healing touch session is like.

Enjoy.

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:

“Allow me to introduce you to the hara—a dimension of your energy architecture that holds the profound secrets to remembering our original connectedness. Here we find the keys to unlocking our inherent ability to give and receive love—with the Divine, the Earth, our spirit allies and with every soul that walks this earthly journey.

The hara unveils the template of your Authentic self, containing the keys to your authenticity, uniqueness, deepest values, purpose, passions, longings, and gifts in this lifetime. Through the hara, we transcend the roles, experiences, and beliefs that shape us, returning to the original connection between our soul, the Earth, and the Divine.”

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.

Clarity Breathwork: Thoughts about Thoughts

Have you heard this statement from a meditation teacher, or read it in a spiritual book?

“You are not your thoughts; you are the observer of your thoughts.” 

—  Amit Ray

A few weeks ago, during a Clarity Breathwork Session, a client had a very tangible experience of being separate from his thoughts. He became aware of that part of him that was observing the thoughts. He was in awe.

Often, during a Breathwork session, the experience of your thoughts as separate from you can arise. It happens quite a bit in my personal breath sessions, and I too, am still in awe every time it happens.

I LOVE Breathwork.

Yet, sometimes when oxygen energizes the brain during a breathe, there are more thoughts than ever! That initially does not seem to be meditative. I suggest to my Breathwork clients before their first breathe not to attempt to stop the thinking. Instead, just observe the thoughts coming and going. It is as if the thoughts were sticks and you are on the bank of a river watching them float by.

While researching quotes for this post, I found this cute video about thoughts. WordPress has assured me this video will go out to  subscribers when I publish it on my blog. Fingers crossed.

If there is not a video attached to this email, here is the link:

An excellent quote about thoughts from one of my favorite writers, Eckhart Tolle:

“Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior. You are beneath the thinker. You are the stillness beneath the mental noise. You are the love and joy beneath the pain.”

Dr. Sheldon Feldman On Reiki And Surgery

 

In this video, Dr. Sheldon Feldman speaks about his journey of discovering how valuable energy work can be for surgery and cancer patients. When his sister was diagnosed with stage four cancer, he witnessed how vibrant her health was right up to the very end with alternative self-care such as nutrition, meditation, and therapy.

In my vision of a better world (more about my vision in another post), everyone who has surgery will have energy work available, whether from a family member, medical professional, volunteer, or clinic.

After all these years, I am still amazed at how powerful, comforting, and supportive energy work is after surgery and when healing from cancer.

Breathwork: Healing Expectations

Lately, I have been noticing that one of the biggest blocks to healing has been the expectations of how that healing will show up.

This often happens at a client’s second breath session. Sometimes my client wants the same experience as the first breathe. Other times, they are afraid they may have as intense of an experience as they did before.

Thoughts like “Nothing is happening,” “This is not what I expected,”  or “This isn’t what happened last time” holds back the possibilities of what is actually arising, releasing, and evolving.

This has been such a good reminder for me in my ‘everyday’ life.

I still get irritated when things don’t happen how I want- including UPS deliveries, internet malfunctions, and listening to the news. Being aware of how my expectations keep me from being present helps me hold it all much more gracefully—my resistance, the present situation, and all possibilities beyond my current state of awareness.
