Twenty-Eight Years Of Healing Support

“Jeri Lawson came into my life as a healer exactly when I needed her the most. After my cerebral hemorrhage, I couldn’t walk, speak, talk and I was cognitively incoherent. Jeri first came to work on me in the hospital. Gradually Jeri made a difference and was an essential ingredient in getting my life back. Twenty-eight years later she is still a radiant, resourceful and effective healer in my life.”

– Katherine Sherwood

I watched this video after our session yesterday. It’s hard to believe it has been twenty-eight years. It brought back so many of our pivotal sessions. These include moments after surgeries, in hospitals, and as Katherine prepared for major shows. I am so incredibly grateful and lucky to be a support in Katherine’s life and art-making journey.

Client Comments After Breathwork

“I am breathing more easily and deeply, so I consider the session a big success. Panic levels have subsided considerably.” 

“It’s astounding.  The tears were so healing.  You hold space so beautifully. Thank you, from so deep in my heart, thank you.”

“My body is pain-free for the first time in many years. Breathwork was the key. My chiropractic and physical therapy sessions have become more beneficial since I started working with you. My body is so much more relaxed and open.”

“It helps us to open our hearts, regain our trust in life, hear our inner guidance, and discover our inherent connection to all beings and to the miracle life itself”

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 Touch Recertification

Every five years, I have to recertify to continue my practice as a Healing Touch Practitioner. It’s not as labor-intensive as becoming certified, yet it does take some time. Without getting too boring… I had to document 75 hours of continuing education and participation for the last five years. I was required to write a report on my professional and personal development, as well as how I see my healing practice developing. I also had to write about my participation in the healing community.

I was certified in 2001, so this is my fourth recertification.

This is a lot of work, yet I am glad I have to do it. I know anytime I refer a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner to someone, that Practitioner is qualified and engaged in their healing practice. They have to be serious about their healing practice to do all this paperwork. 😉

I also want to remind you that many hospitals have Healing Touch Practitioners available. When you have surgery and procedures in other states, ask if there are any nurses or volunteers that do Healing Touch. This modality is SO HELPFUL after surgery. I just had another client in San Diego get a session post-surgery. It was incredibly helpful in her recovery.

A Letting Go Meditation

I am reading and rereading the book Letting Go: The Pathway Of Surrender by David Hawkins. I highly recommend going to the library or bookstore and reading pages 19 through 25. Seriously, this information can really help you process challenging emotions and gain insights into your health and life. Here is the first paragraph of that section, The Mechanism of Letting Go:

“Letting go involves being aware of a feeling, letting it come up, staying with it, and letting it it run its course without wanting to make it different or do anything about it. It means simply to let the feeling be there and focus on letting out the energy behind it. The first step is to allow yourself to have the feeling without resisting it, venting it, fearing it, condemning it, or moralizing about it. It means to drop judgment and to see that it is just a feeling. The technique is to be with the feeling and surrender all efforts to modify it in any way. Let go of wanting to resist the feeling. It resistance that keeps the feeling going. When you give up the resisting or trying to modify the feeling, it will shift to the next feeling and be accompanied by a lighter session. A feeling that is not resisted will disappear as the energy behind it dissipates.”

Some mornings, this is my entire meditation. If I wake up feeling uneasy or especially stiff, I focus my attention as Dr. Hawkins describes above. I have found this also works incredibly well with physical pain. Often, the sensation will move to another part of my body. Thoughts and memories sometimes surface, but when I focus on what is in my body, I bypass my mind and can easily track the sensation. The more I do it, the more I get out of it.

Energy can be experienced kinesthetically as hot, cold, heavy, or tight (the most common sensation). It can have a color or feel chaotic, carbonated, or spikey. I am usually surprised by what happens. 

I have been doing this with clients for the last several years before we even get to the healing table, and they are blown away. I am blown away; it’s amazing. It is also much easier when you do it with someone holding space. 

Take care, and Happy New Year.

Healing: Relax For Strength And Stamina

Some people may believe that to relax means to surrender, to lower your guard, or to give up. However, the exact opposite is true. Being relaxed actually makes you more resilient, flexible, and creative. When we are at peace, we become more connected to our intuition and higher consciousness.

Calming and resetting your nervous system relieves muscle tension, lowers blood pressure, reduces inflammation, and improves mental function. It definitely lets you sleep better.

What helps you let go, relax, and unwind?

A walk on the beach? Meditating? Netflix and popcorn? Long phone call with a good friend? Maybe a Healing Touch session?

Healing and Community

Last Friday and Saturday, I took a workshop given by Awakening Healing Axis. The workshop was called Connect to Your Quantum Reality to Embody High Frequency Healing and Live With Ease & Joy. It was taught by Tim McConville & Franny Harcey. Perry Harcey was also there to record the whole workshop (that was a big job).

I walked into the workshop pretty raw after election week, even though I had been meditating and doing extreme self-care for the last several months.

I can’t tell you how much better I feel now after being in a group of energy practitioners for two days. I experienced a profound energy shift in the work we exchanged. Everyone in the class was glowing at the end of the two days. The Awakening Healing Axis protocols are amazing. I am so supported in the healing space. We humans are truly multidimensional beings.

Once again, I realized how important it is for me to come together in community as a solo Energetic Practitioner. Bringing our healing community together creates so much light.

Healing and Sacred Space

Over the years, many people have asked me how I handle all the trauma, heavy emotions, and ‘negative energy’ clients bring to my Healing and Breathwork sessions.

I do set the intention and focus of the sessions, but it is the sacred space that holds, transforms, balances, and allows my clients to self-heal.

Being in that high state of consciousness with another person is so life-affirming. My clients constantly inspire me. I am so profoundly grateful to be doing this work.

I don’t have any answers to all that is happening now, but I do have the space.

Healing From Cancer

I have been energetically supporting a very vibrant seventy-four-year-old woman who has healed herself of esophageal cancer. She decided to heal herself with six months of immunotherapy (one infusion every other week) to shrink the tumor, then laparoscopic surgery to remove it. After they removed the tumor, they found it was benign.

At one point toward the end of the immunotherapy, she texted me that she felt quite sick and depressed, especially because she wasn’t eating enough.

I did a short healing session using Healing Touch clearing techniques because that’s all the time I had that morning. I then had an entire session open up later in the day (funny how that happens), and I gave her a full distance healing. She sent me this text hours after the session: 

“Jeri, you are amazing. I am sitting here eating a two-egg omelet. I feel so much better. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. See you Friday.“

After her surgery, I received this text:

The surgery went well and I am recovering nicely.  Home from the hospital after only two days! 

The last update I received until her next session was:

“Just got the pathology report yesterday. I have no cancer. All the biopsies and tissue analyses are negative, and all margins are clear. Thank you for all that you do and did. Much love and gratitude.”

Healing Touch is a powerful support in healing from cancer and its treatments, especially on those low-energy hump days.

I visualize a day when everyone can access energetic support after an infusion or surgery. When Healing Touch is integrated seamlessly with conventional treatments to promote overall well-being and enhance recovery. I see a world where healing is truly multi-dimensional and accessible to all.

Healing: Covid, Intuition and Feeling Safe

I haven’t written much about COVID because my intention is to keep these blog posts more upbeat, as well as educational. Yet, COVID is not going away and for me has been quite an exercise in surrender and trusting my intuition.

Over these last few years, there have been many times that I have had to cancel five days of in-person clients because of a possible exposure. This is quite a financial hit, yet this is where I have learned to surrender to what is. The first few times, it was quite a stressful process, but I am happy to say I am much better at spontaneous vacations.

I still test for COVID at least once a week. I also test before every client with a compromised immune system and wear a mask with them. I happily take a COVID test and wear a mask for anyone who requests it.

I want everyone who comes for healing or a breath session to feel safe. My job as a healer is to create a safe place for my clients to relax and self-heal. To do this, COVID has to be addressed.

After I test, I usually send a photo. I try to make these photos as interesting as possible. While writing this post, I realized I have a LOT of test photos.
