“Like a ripple in a pond, when we heal ourselves, our energy sends a vibration and frequency that heals others and helps to heal the world.”

 – Katie Huff Oberlin

I am constantly inspired by other healers. Katie Huff Oberlin uses a “heart-centered approach to healthcare through Healing Touch and Shamanic Healing.” She has a practice in the Chicago area called Holistic Connections and an engaging blog on healing.

Check out her story “Preparing For Surgery.” It’s a simple, practical example of how helpful Healing Touch can be.

Thank you, Katie!

Healing Touch California’s 10th Annual Regional Symposium

HT CA Conf 2016
Self-care at the Symposium

Last weekend was Healing Touch California’s 10th Annual Regional Symposium in Redwood City.

I write a lot about my healing community, and that is because it is such an inspiration for me. As the sole owner of a healing business, the chance to talk with other Healing Touch Practitioners a valuable opportunity. At the conference there were many Practitioners who have been doing healing work for over 20 years.

The two keynote speakers on Sunday were excellent. Alice Percy Strauss, LSHC, CYT, CATY, CRI, Founder/Director of Yogatsu® Institute and Barbara Evans, founder of Crystal Wings Healing Art were engaging and clearly expressed the passionate they have in the work that they do. In the photo to the left, I am getting a Hand Reflexology session with Marcie Hintz, Certified Japanese Foot Acupressure Therapist, who studies with Alice Percy.

One conversation that was particularly interesting to me at this moment in my energetic practice was with Rita Kluny. Rita was certified in Healing Touch in 1994, and has over 35 years of nursing experience in Neonatal Intensive Care. She took all her Healing Touch classes with Healing Touch’s founder, Janet Mentgen. She gave a workshop on Healing Touch for Babies.

I can’t talk about the symposium and not mention Karen Drucker.  Her musical and spiritual presence touched everyone. What an amazing human being.

After the 11th Healing Touch symposium next April, I will have to schedule a day off just so I can write a longer post about it.

Healing Touch Is Good for Business

IMG_3315“I recently came to Jeri for Healing Touch. I knew I had mental and emotional blocks that were holding me back in my business.

During the session I could feel releases of energy and toxins and I have never felt such surges of energy and I should mention I’ve been a massage therapist since 1989!

I had to go home and lay down afterwards, just to let my body and mind integrate this powerful experience.

The most amazing thing is…I’ve had at least 6 new client inquiries in the past two days and my energy has shifted in a noticeable way. Just this morning a close friend remarked that my face looked different from the last time she saw me, just a week prior. I’m still feeling the effects of this Healing Touch session and I want another!”

Healing: Grounding and Creativity, Part Four

Painting by Livia Stein

Being grounded and safe does not hold back our creative energy. It is so much easier to push our comfort zone when we are grounded and present in the moment.

Grounding is incredibly valuable for manifesting our ideas and vision in this world. Are you ready to quit your day job and finish that book? Start your own business? Rent a studio to paint in? Travel to Asia?

Start by getting grounded. Then it is so much easier to make it happen. Take the big leap or do one tiny simple step; trust and honor your process. It’s all good.

From Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

“Simple Definition of grounded— used to describe a person who is sensible and has a good understanding of what is really important in life.”

Healing: Grounding and Feeling Safe, Part Three

DSC_4057 Grounding helps the body feel safe.

Feeling safe is very healing.

Feeling safe and grounded in your body, even for a few minutes, is so beneficial after an accident, surgery or other traumatic event. I have energetically supported many clients through divorces, chemotherapy, and the loss of a family member by holding an energetic space where they can feel safe. Many times that feeling of being safe was the pivotal factor they needed to relax and heal themselves.

During a series of healing sessions with a client, I sometimes ask, “Do you feel safe in your body?” Physically safe?  Emotionally safe? Financially safe? I have found just becoming conscious of where we do not feel safe, in our bodies and in our lives, has opened many pathways to clearing unconscious fear.

What makes you feel safe and grounded?

  • A healing session?
  • A walk in nature?
  • Being around family?
  • Not being around family?
  • Talking to a friend?
  • Working?
  • Having a certain amount of money in the bank?
  • Giving yourself Reiki?

Life on this planet is a wild ride. Being grounded can be immensely helpful in not letting fear and anxiety stop us from living the life we want to live.

Healing: Grounding and Food, Part Two

Do you eat when you are not hungry?

Do you eat when you are tired, stressed or unfocused?

Food is grounding. Eating makes us feel nourished, supported and more present in our bodies. Many people overeat because they are ungrounded.

Eating to feel balanced and grounded is not a bad thing, especially when you are conscious of what you are doing. In fact, that is the key, making conscious choices of what and when you eat, instead of reacting from habitual emotional patterns.

An energetic healing can get you grounded, and a series of sessions can clear your energy field of emotional blocks, congestion and toxins so your body can stay grounded. People often change their eating patterns after a series of healings, because they feel balanced.

If you are planning to do a cleanse or change your diet, a hands-on-healing can be an excellent support. Here are a few other ways to reground:

  • Go outside and walk or stand barefoot on the earth. Click here for more information on earthing.
  • Take five slow connected breathes deep into your belly. This is also quite energizing.
  • Visualize that grounding cord I wrote about last week. It really works.

Healing: Grounding, Part One

When I started writing about grounding, I realized there was a lot of information to cover. Being grounded is so essential to our biofield, our health, and our lives. I’m a little surprised I have not written about grounding before now.

My definition of being grounded is the feeling of being connected to the earth, present in your body and in the moment. Being grounded helps us feel safe in our bodies, peaceful, centered, strong and alive.

 

Here are a few signs that you may not be grounded:

  • You misplaced your keys several times this week.
  • You have been bumping into things.
  • You feel fatigued, spacey and find it hard to stay organized.

In my energetic practice, many imbalances I discover in my clients energy field quickly resolve once they become grounded. I have found issues like headaches, anxiety, and jet lag fall away just by grounding.

How can you become grounded? Continue reading “Healing: Grounding, Part One”
