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.

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.

Pendulums and Healing

I know very well that many scientists consider dowsing as they do astrology, as a type of ancient superstition. According to my conviction this is, however, unjustified. The dowsing rod is a simple instrument that shows the reaction of the human nervous system to certain factors which are unknown to us at this time.

– Albert Einstein

Letter to Mr. Herman E. Peisach, 1946

Last July, I went to the 2024 West Coast Dowsers Conference in Santa Cruz.

As I have written before, I was taught to use a pendulum to assess the chakras before and after each healing in the Healing Touch Program. Besides one very informative course I took from Janna Moll in 2014, I had never investigated Dowsing or using the pendulum any further.

I was inspired by some YouTube videos on Dowsing, especially those of  Raymond Grace. He is the real deal.  I met several people in different classes with some first-hand Raymond Grace stories – all fantastic examples of healing. I would check him out if you have not heard of him. 

I could only attend the conference for two days, but it was worth it. Dowsing is limitless. I met people who dowsed for water, emotional balance, Star Beings, Nature Spirits, weather, and even what to eat for lunch. 

It’s been about two months, and I am still playing, integrating, and reading more about what I learned over those two days. I am sure this is not my last Dowsing Conference.

My Book, A Business Of Healing, Was Approved As A Healing Touch Resource for Students

JeriBookCover
The Healing Touch Professional Association discussed A Business of Healing this month during the February HTPA Virtual Book Club meeting.
 
This book is now a resource for students who are becoming certified in HealingTouch. 
I never expected anything like this to happen. As I wrote the book, I was actually a little worried the  Healing Touch organization would not like me describing how I let go of my training to learn to trust the energy completely. I was nervous it might even separate me from the organization that gave me the foundation of my healing practice. 
 
I am so honored that the Healing Touch Program endorsed my book. I feel that everyone who is certified in Healing Touch helps bring energy work into our medical culture. It is also an excellent way of creating community, and especially as a solo practitioner, community is a tremendous support. Huge. I can’t imagine doing this alone.

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.”

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.
