Reiki And Healing

There are now many more new and exciting energy modalities, healing techniques, and philosophies available to anyone interested in healing. Many practices promise to access 5th-dimensional energy, quantum frequencies, and paradigm-shifting transformation.

For me, Reiki has been and continues to be the gateway to extraordinary healing states. I have taken many (like, a lot) trainings and workshops, and Reiki still feels like a foundational practice. Reiki has connected me to higher states of healing energy that are frankly mind-blowing.

Self-Reiki also stabilizes my physical body, helps me sleep, and prepares me for deep meditation. It grounds and connects me to new dimensions at the same time. As I continue to train in newer transformational healing practices, Reiki helps me integrate the new material much faster.

My experience with Reiki is that it is a life force energy that is constantly evolving as we evolve, personally and collectively.

Dr. Sheldon Feldman On Reiki And Surgery

 

In this video, Dr. Sheldon Feldman speaks about his journey of discovering how valuable energy work can be for surgery and cancer patients. When his sister was diagnosed with stage four cancer, he witnessed how vibrant her health was right up to the very end with alternative self-care such as nutrition, meditation, and therapy.

In my vision of a better world (more about my vision in another post), everyone who has surgery will have energy work available, whether from a family member, medical professional, volunteer, or clinic.

After all these years, I am still amazed at how powerful, comforting, and supportive energy work is after surgery and when healing from cancer.

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.

A Workshop By Cyndi Dale: Keys to Activate & Energize Healing in 11 Dimensions

Cyndi Dale gave a two-day workshop a few weekends ago called Keys to Activate & Energize Healing in 11 Dimensions.  She taught it through The Infinity Foundation.

Cyndi is a gifted intuitive, healer and teacher.  I enthusiastically recommend taking at least one of her classes, especially if you are an energetic practitioner. She is energizing, incredibly verbal, and generous with her knowledge.

This workshop was focused on discovering the astral planes, the 8th chakra, and 11 known dimensions. The eighth chakra is particularly interesting to me because it can be used to heal across multiple dimensions and other realities. In the last few years, it has been evident that a lot of multidimensional access is happening in my client’s healing sessions.

The eighth chakra (above our head) is a silver energy center that is one of the keys to the science of the time-space continuum for transmutation.  Time and space are so fluid during sessions.  I have to have a clock in view at all times in my healing space, or I would have no idea how much time has gone by.

The initial intention for taking this class was not to learn new techniques, but to recognize what is already happening in my client’s healing sessions.  I did recognize many of the dimensions and healing spaces Cyndi talked about, and since the workshop, I am aware of new frequencies and possibilities.

All this may sound pretty woo-woo and new age, but these energies and states of consciousness are where my clients have healed headaches, chronic pain, and neuropathy. In these higher states of consciousness people have released emotional trauma and have connected with their inner guidance. Energetic healing is profoundly practical.

I have already listened to the class recording twice. There is so much information, and I am sure I will be going over this material a few times more.

Healing: Living, Dying and Near-Death

Last year one of my clients made her transition from this world. I received this text from one of her many friends the night before I was scheduled to see her:

“I’m sorry to text you in the middle of the night, but I wanted to let you know _______ passed away tonight. Thank you for working with her. The results of your healings were one of the few things we all saw that gave her peace and relief in the last month.”

At the start of most of our sessions, my client would be in quite a bit of pain (about a seven on a scale of one to ten). After the healing, she would be completely ‘pain-free’ (her words), sitting upright and breathing much easier.

She also said she felt much more peaceful and she looked so much brighter after the sessions. She talked about what was on her mind, her current process of healing, her wonderful friends, and her dealings with the medical culture. I didn’t say much, but I held a grounded space for her to express what needed to be said.

I was not with her in the last week, but when I saw her in the months before, she talked a lot about how she did not want to die.  Not because she was afraid of death, but because she loved life so much. She spoke of her garden, art that inspired her, and places she wanted to visit.  It was such a gift to get to know her.  Her love of life was inspiring.

It took me a while to process my own thoughts about death, healing, and this great mystery of life after this incredible woman made her transition. I have been writing and rewriting this post for a long time.

She left a space in my consciousness that I needed to explore. I ended up watching a lot of near-death YouTube videos that basically told the same story over and over. This one was my favorite:

I am so grateful. Every session in my healing practice is such a gift.

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.
