The New Chakra Playbook

“In this book, we are questing to transform our past understanding of the chakras – which hold our spiritual and Earthly paths – into one that is more supportive of where our consciousness is now.”

– Introduction of The New Chakra Playbook

I have been working with the chakras for over 35 years and this is the best book that I have found on the twelve chakra system.

This book was written by Catherine Morgan, Franny Harcey, and Tim McConville. Franny and Tim are co-creators of Awakening Healing Axis, an energetic training program I have highly recommended before. Catherine has studied the AHA work since it was founded in 2017.

This book is good for beginners and experienced healers and mediators, which is kind of amazing. The simple meditations and exercises give you a direct experience of your energy system. It is profound in its simplicity and accessibility.

There is so much to gain and learn from your chakras. You can heal your physical body, calm your nervous system, access your inner guidance, and even make direct contact with the Divine Source. I know that sounds like a lot. That’s why I have given several copies of this book away.

The more time I spend with this book, the more I have gotten out of it. I have this book in my backpack and close to my meditation table. There is an eight-day exploration, which, I confess, took me about two months. I had to do some of these simple meditations every day for an extended period. I was ready for this book; it has opened me to so many new possibilities.

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.”

From The Clarity Breathwork Website:

“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”

Flow: Healing, Art And Life

Healing often involves altered or higher states of consciousness. As an energetic practitioner, I learn so much from listening how other spiritual seekers, adventure athletes, and artists access their flow states.

These experiences are difficult to describe. Yet, the more we try to acknowledge these higher states of consciousness, the better we can live our lives.

Sharing them helps us. Accessing them is essential.

It’s that feeling of flow, that it’s simply all moving. I’m not pushing anything; nothing’s pushing me, and that’s a very calm place.

– Tom Knott

This video of artist Tom Knott is a beautiful example of how energy, art, inspiration, and life interweave. He talks about getting out of the way of the creative flow, even as it moves through his body, head, and hands. He talks about how his visions come to him, his meditation practice, the feeling of coming into unity with the world, and the adventure of art making.

This video is from a compelling series about the artists living on Hornby Island.

Experience Sacred Space

Would you like to experience Sacred Space?

Physically feel a heightened perception of your own inner state and the immediate environment around you?

Discover a sense of calm, stability, and profound stillness?

Feel deeply connected to something larger than yourself, a state of consciousness where you are one with all that is?

Would you like to be truly present in the moment?

This happens over and over in my practice and is one of my favorite things about energetically working with other people. I have learned how to create a space for others to physically and tangibly taste the experience of being truly present.

It is often so subtle, yet it is everything.

If you have already worked with me and are interested, just let me know. We can do it before you get on the table at your next healing.

If you have not worked with me, email or call to book a session.

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).

From the Awakening Healing Axis Website
From The AHA Website

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.
