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.

Clarity Breathwork: What’s In The Way Is The Way

What’s in the way is the way.

I find myself frequently repeating this statement, especially in Breathwork sessions.  Becoming conscious of what is blocking you physically, emotionally, or mentally is how you discover what you need to heal. The resistance contains the healing.

It’s natural to want to avoid pain and unpleasant emotions like shame, grief, and fear. Yet, to breath into whatever is arising – whether that is a pain in your lower back or a complex emotion – is how you come back into balance and peace.

Of course, not all healing requires a deep dive into resistance and a dramatic release. So many incredibly effective breath sessions are basically a  gentle relaxation of the nervous system. Some sessions are even a tangible experience of spirit.

As an energetic practitioner, I see this as my job: To hold a safe, grounded space for you to connect and process your greatest fears and emotions, if that comes up to be integrated or released.  To hold a space for you to find your own answers.

Exploring Healing States: Steven Kotler

Steven Kotler is an author, flow researcher, and gravity lover.

I discovered his work after reading A Small Furry Prayer: Dog Rescue and the Meaning of Life.  If you like reading about animal rescue and dogs (I raise my hand), I highly recommend this book.

I then read his book, The Rise Of Superman, Decoding The Science of Ultimate Human Performance, and started following his Instagram feed. He has also designed a Neuroscience Flow Training for High Performance Professionals.

Over the years,  Kotler’s ideas, research, and writings on flow and optimal states of consciousness have given me fresh perspectives on what happens when I give and receive energy work. Receiving a healing session brings me into a flow state. Holding a healing space for another person also maximizes flow.

Healing is a state of flow.

Enjoy,

Healing Touch For Body Pain

Good morning!  I am still feeling the effects of the healing which is amazing!  Wednesday evening I was able to get on the floor and get up without any help from my upper limbs!  And no pain!  Pain is starting to creep up again but could be because we’re on vacation… 
– Client after a session
Energetic healing is so good for the physical body. So often, clients come for a session to address stress or navigate a significant transition in their lives and find they feel so much lighter in their bodies after the session.
For physical tightness and discomfort, sometimes one session can create a state of ease in your body. Your body remembers what it is like to be relaxed. Sometimes, a series of three sessions may be needed to clear the blocks to your life force energy.
Energetic healing can also bring clarity and guidance for what you need next to keep feeling better: a regular exercise program, a visit to a physical therapist, or a phone call to the doctor.
It’s all connected.

The Miracle Of Breath Livestream Event

I will be giving a short testimonial for the free Miracle of Breath Livestream on September 22, 2023, ~ 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM California Pacific Time.

My Clarity Breathwork teachers, Ashanna and Dana, have asked me to speak about how Clarity Breathwork has helped my clients heal themselves of physical issues such as back pain, migraines, and vertigo.

Here is the link to find out more: https://www.claritybreathworkcourses.com/a/2147648246/2D9ShXhu

I am so excited. With Clarity Breathwork and my first Breathwork Practitioner Maggie Ostara, I healed the intense and frequent migraines that had overtaken my life. It had gotten to the point where I couldn’t go away for a weekend because I always became violently sick. I have been headache-free ever since discovering this amazing modality, and for the last seventeen years, I have helped many of my clients do the same.

I love my work! I can’t wait to talk about this incredible practice.

A Quote From Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, LL (AAN)

“When two people enter into a caring moment, [such as in Healing Touch], a new field of consciousness or possibilities is created. Both can share consciousness or tap into another field, the universal energy, the universal spirit of infinite Love, which in turn has healing possibilities.”

In this coming together, “The caring-healing moment transforms from a two-field to a one-field consciousness. Both are co-participants in the process.” 

Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, LL (AAN) in 1999

I am rereading the latest versions of the Healing Touch Program Notebooks:  The books have been revised many times since I first took the classes. I am getting so much out of them after so many years of practice.

There are many quotes from Jean Watson, a nurse who has been bringing the sacred into nursing.   I love, love, love the way she describes the healing space in this quote. I experience this consciousness every day.

Healing: The More I Receive, The More I Can Give

I had to develop my self-care receiver skills to become an effective and grounded energetic practitioner.

I am continually surprised at how much learning to receive teaches me about giving.

Having sessions with other healers is one of the most beautiful ways I keep my heart open and stay in energetic alignment. Self-Reiki and doing Breathwork on my own are profoundly supportive (even life-saving), yet having another human hold space for me is a whole other level of receiving and releasing.

Receiving was only an innate potential that took me a long time to cultivate into a skill. Opening to receive connects me with higher states of consciousness, where I find greater creativity, healing, and guidance.

Investing time, money, and energy into my personal Breathwork and Healing Touch sessions is the best investment I make for myself and my clients.

Healing Sessions For Scanxiety

“I’ve been going through some intense scanxiety – cold fear of a looming scan…” 

One of my clients had a very important scan coming up, and she wrote a deeply moving email describing her experience of scanxiety.

What an amazing word.  The perfect description of what I have always thought of as one of the most difficult phases of healing from cancer: waiting for the next scan.

“I recognize some of the fear as the residue of past traumas – every scan I’ve had before this has revealed our worst fears… Some fear is rooted in love of self and life – a reminder of how much I want to protect my life, how much I want to live.”

Healing Touch and Reiki treatments have helped my clients stay sane and a little more grounded until the results come back. My clients are my heroes, and I am honored to be a part of their healing journey.

I am extremely happy to report that this client’s scan came back with very, very good news.

Want to Know More About Hands-On Healing? Book A Session For Yourself!

Self Healing

A great way to learn about energy is to get a healing. A tangible, practical experience of what energy work can do for you.

There is so much energy and support available to every one of us all the time. All we have to do is tap into it. Many things in our world appear to be breaking down, yet energy is moving faster than ever. I am witnessing more people healing from diagnoses and conditions that used to be considered… well, ‘unhealable.’

I began showing people how to support themselves energetically because it was so helpful for clients healing from cancer. Doing a daily self-chakra connection is profoundly comforting, calming, and empowering.

Many of these clients went on to learn Healing Touch, Reiki, and other modalities in established accredited programs. Several have become very successful practitioners in their own healing businesses. Most people have integrated hands-on healing into their self-care and meditation practice with beautiful results.

I tend to think of myself as an energetic jump-start teacher.

If you are interested in learning how to heal yourself and even learn how to heal others, schedule a session. I will show you a few simple meditations and techniques to jump-start your self-care practice.

Energetic Healing Can Help Highly Sensitive People Feel More Comfortable In The World

Energic healing can make it possible for highly sensitive people to feel more comfortable in the world.

Over the years, I have worked with many clients who have Sensory-Processing Sensitivity. According to Elaine Aron, SPS  is found in 15 to 20% of the population. She began researching high sensitivity in 1991 and has written many books on the subject.

Highly Sensitive People are often overwhelmed when in large groups of people, agitated by loud noises, and find themselves continually aware of other people’s emotions.

Often these clients feel bad about themselves, how they never fit in as a child and were labeled antisocial. They may have been told that they were too emotional. When they come to their first healing session, they talk about feeling like something is wrong with them, instead of understanding that they have a gift.

Experiencing their body in a calm, deeply relaxed state begins to rebalance their nervous system. So many of my clients have learned to self-regulate their energy and navigate their lives with more joy… and the world needs more joy.

Even one healing can make a huge difference.
