Healing Touch of Northern California Community Meeting on August 5th From 6:30 to 8pm

On August 5th, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., the Healing Touch of Northern California Community will meet via Zoom. If you are interested in healing, energy, or wellness, you are warmly welcomed.

When we gather in community—whether in person or virtually—we step into a shared energetic field. This field invites compassion and helps regulate our nervous system. In this space, we are seen, heard, and held. This presence alone can ease feelings of isolation, anxiety, and overwhelm.

Please join us for this special meeting to share what has been most helpful in your life and self-care practice. It might be a daily ritual, a mantra, a quote, walking in nature, a book, music, or simply a practice that’s been helping you through.

I will begin with a longer invocation than usual to reconnect us with our power and light. If you have something to share that may take more than a few minutes, please email me at jerilawson@mac.com so I can ensure you have enough time.

You also don’t have to share anything; your presence is enough.

Being around others who are committed to healing—both their own and others’—can rekindle your passion and new possibilities when you feel discouraged or depleted. You are not alone. You’re part of a living, breathing, (and Zooming) network of light.

Healing Touch And Food Cravings

A person with hands in a prayer position is standing over a bowl of colorful, healthy food, including fruits, vegetables, and grains, with a soft glowing light emanating from their chest.

Food cravings aren’t random – they’re messages from your energy field. Your body is wise. Sometimes, what feels like a craving for chips, sugar, or coffee is actually a deeper call.

Feeling drawn to comfort food? You might be needing emotional connection. You could also be feeling ungrounded. Reaching for sweets? Your heart may be craving joy or compassion. No appetite at all? That is sometimes a sign of a spiritual disconnect.

Through Healing Touch, we tune into these sensations and signals to gain a deeper understanding of what you truly desire and want to create in your life. When your energy is balanced, your emotional and physical needs become clearer. Your cravings become a source of guidance.

Every physical body is different, and only you can discover how to navigate your health. What is your body asking for? Book a Healing Touch session and find out.

Healing: A Sacred Pause

In a fast-paced world, Healing Touch provides a sacred pause—a moment to reconnect with yourself, realign with your truth, and simply be.

It is so gratifying to be able to create a space for my clients to totally relax. Many of my clients report a stronger sense of purpose, peace, and alignment with their higher self, especially with a series of sessions. I know I feel it after I get off the table after my healings. My sessions are an essential part of my sanity.

Stay centered in these chaotic times. Practice self-care on every level of your being.

You Don’t Have To Be Stressed Out Or Sick To Greatly Benefit From Healing Touch

You don’t have to wait for something to “go wrong” to take care of yourself.

In fact, when life does become overwhelming, it’s much easier to navigate it when you have a regular self-care foundation.

Healing Touch is a beautiful and effective way to prioritize your well-being, maintain balance, and nurture yourself in ways that go beyond physical health.

I schedule a Healing Touch session at least once a month. Every time I leave that table, I am so grateful for the session. I feel so much clearer and optimistic.

Even as an Energetic Practitioner who experiences healing energy every day, receiving a healing provides a sacred pause—a moment to reconnect with myself and simply be.

Healing Touch: Opening To Your Intuition

While Healing Touch isn’t specifically designed to open up intuitive abilities, I have witnessed so many of my clients relax into a space where heightened sensitivity and spiritual growth frequently happen.


Sometimes, just one session can create this opening for my client. More often, a series of healings unblocks their energy centers, and they find their unique spiritual gifts begin to emerge. These gifts include healing abilities, telepathy, mediumship, clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairaudience (clear hearing), spiritual guidance, messages, or visions.


Many clients realize, to their surprise, that they are extremely intuitive and have been using these gifts throughout their lives. It is a joy to watch people experience a deeper understanding of who they truly are.


A whole new realm of life opens up when you become aware of your intuition. Intuition often leads you toward choices that reflect your true values and desires, guiding you to a more authentic, meaningful, aligned life.


Intuition is a direct line to something deeper—your subconscious, your inner wisdom, or even a sense of the divine. Becoming aware of it can make you feel more connected to yourself, others, and the world.


There’s also a sense of wonder. Intuition isn’t always explainable, and that mystery can be exhilarating. It invites curiosity, openness, and trust in the unknown.

Healing Touch For Lingering Post Covid Symtoms

A close-up of a pink and orange rose blooming in a garden.

In my Healing practice, Healing Touch has greatly benefited clients with long COVID or post-COVID symptoms.

These symptoms include fatigue, headaches, brain fog, shortness of breath, anxiety, changes in sleep patterns, and inflammation. These conditions have left my clients feeling frustrated, depleted, and invisible.

Several post-COVID clients have told me they feel 80% better after only one Healing Touch session. This is amazing and wonderful, but unusual. In my experience, it takes several sessions, a week or two apart.

If you or anyone you know has chronic post-COVID issues, suggest a Healing Touch session with a Certified Practitioner. It is obvious in one session how helpful Healing Touch can be.

Dr. William Bengston: 1950-2025 

This post was hard to write.

Portrait of Dr. William Bengston, a smiling middle-aged man with glasses, wearing a light blue shirt against a reddish background.

Bill Bengston has been a huge inspiration in my life and healing work.

I took a workshop with him in 2012. That workshop radically ‘expanded’ my paradigm of energy and the reality of what is possible.

On the morning of the second day of that workshop, I watched him eat a bagel for breakfast. I remember how significant it was that the bagel was not from New York. 🙂 I wrote down everything he spoke about during those fifteen minutes, including two books. I ordered them as soon as I got home.

My whole paradigm of reality shifted quite radically right after that workshop.

Anyway, on a less personal level, I discovered William Bengston’s transition from an email from CHI. Since then, I have been rereading his book, watching the last of his video interviews, and finding his latest research online.

I can’t even begin to describe the valuable contributions Bengston has made to the study of consciousness and reality. I will be writing many posts on his work. For now, check out a few of Bengston’s concepts of healing listed under Patterns in Energy Healing by The Psi Encyclopedia:

  • Neither the healer nor the patient needed to believe in it for it to be successful.
  • The most aggressive types of cancers were most responsive to treatment.
  • Some human patients genuinely did not want to recover from illnesses, and so would not return after initial positive results, or otherwise sabotage treatment.
  • After an injury, the sooner the patient was treated, the faster and better the results were.
  • The longer a patient had had a condition, the longer it took to cure.
  • Sometimes an initial aggravation of symptoms would occur, prior to cure.
  • Mice cured in the experiments also became immune to the same type of cancer, as they would not grow tumours even if re-injected with the cancer cells.
  • Water and cotton given psychic-healing treatments became curative if applied or ingested.
Cover of the book 'The Energy Cure: Unraveling the Mystery of Hands-On Healing' by William Bengston, featuring a white bottle with a bright blue background.

His book The Energy Cure: Unraveling the Mystery of Hands-On Healing is part memoir and part instruction. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in healing, consciousness, and the science of reality.

We lost a great human being and a brilliant mind. I am sure his work will continue in the limitless dimensions of consciousness.

Healing: What Is An Energetic Block In The Body?

A Healing Touch session can clear energetic blocks in your body’s energy flow.

An abstract image featuring four circular shapes with organic textures, overlaid on a swirling red and beige background.

What exactly is an energetic block?

An energetic block can be physical pain or tension. These blocks can occur in the body due to past trauma. Such trauma could include a car accident, surgery, dental work, or a sports injury.

Sometimes, a pent-up emotion can block muscle flexibility, mental clarity, and even that sense of well-being. Unprocessed or subconscious fear, guilt, or shame can also impede the flow of energy in the body.

There are so many reasons why we might be blocked. Sometimes our bodies simply forget how to relax, especially after a prolonged illness or a traumatic event like divorce. I find watching the news to be very “unrelaxing.” I always plan a decompression period after scanning the headlines.

My intention as a healer is to create a space where my clients can relax and self-heal.

Relaxing sounds so basic, yet it is a powerful state of consciousness.

The Healer Development Series: Starting, Growing and Sustaining Your Healing Practice

Last month I was on a Healing Touch panel on the benefits of having a healing business.

The panel is part of a long series of videos by the Healing Touch Professional Association (HTPA). These discussions are recorded and available online for HTPA members.

The panels cover issues and conditions such as brain injuries, addiction, spinal issues, anxiety, and Chronic Fatigue. The videos of these panels are excellent resources, and I have found them extremely helpful. I have learned a great deal by discovering how other practitioners have addressed the same issues that I have encountered in my practice over the years.

In preparing for this panel, two thoughts occurred to me that I would like to share.

The first point I really want to emphasize is that the world needs more Healing Touch Practitioners. Practitioners must be readily available to those who need them. I hope this panel inspires everyone to consider starting a healing practice if they are interested.

The second point is that I have always felt that when we assign financial value to our healing work, it makes it more credible. This elevates its worth in our medical and mainstream culture. This makes it possible for many people to schedule that first session.

After that first session, the work speaks for itself.

Shout out to Christine Salas, the Healing Touch Professional Association Community Director. She has really made this series the incredible resource it is.
