Healing Touch of Northern California Community Meeting on August 5th From 6:30 to 8pm

On August 5th, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., the Healing Touch of Northern California Community will meet via Zoom. If you are interested in healing, energy, or wellness, you are warmly welcomed.

When we gather in community—whether in person or virtually—we step into a shared energetic field. This field invites compassion and helps regulate our nervous system. In this space, we are seen, heard, and held. This presence alone can ease feelings of isolation, anxiety, and overwhelm.

Please join us for this special meeting to share what has been most helpful in your life and self-care practice. It might be a daily ritual, a mantra, a quote, walking in nature, a book, music, or simply a practice that’s been helping you through.

I will begin with a longer invocation than usual to reconnect us with our power and light. If you have something to share that may take more than a few minutes, please email me at jerilawson@mac.com so I can ensure you have enough time.

You also don’t have to share anything; your presence is enough.

Being around others who are committed to healing—both their own and others’—can rekindle your passion and new possibilities when you feel discouraged or depleted. You are not alone. You’re part of a living, breathing, (and Zooming) network of light.

Healing Touch And Food Cravings

A person with hands in a prayer position is standing over a bowl of colorful, healthy food, including fruits, vegetables, and grains, with a soft glowing light emanating from their chest.

Food cravings aren’t random – they’re messages from your energy field. Your body is wise. Sometimes, what feels like a craving for chips, sugar, or coffee is actually a deeper call.

Feeling drawn to comfort food? You might be needing emotional connection. You could also be feeling ungrounded. Reaching for sweets? Your heart may be craving joy or compassion. No appetite at all? That is sometimes a sign of a spiritual disconnect.

Through Healing Touch, we tune into these sensations and signals to gain a deeper understanding of what you truly desire and want to create in your life. When your energy is balanced, your emotional and physical needs become clearer. Your cravings become a source of guidance.

Every physical body is different, and only you can discover how to navigate your health. What is your body asking for? Book a Healing Touch session and find out.

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.

Breathwork: Reconnecting With Your Life’s Purpose

A person standing on a beach with gentle waves lapping the shore and a cloudy sky in the background.

There is so much going on in the world right now. Things are shifting daily. Our personal goals and life direction are opening to new possibilities as we rise individually and collectively to this moment in history.

Fear, old emotional wounds, and self-doubt can cloud your sense of direction and action. A Breathwork session can help you clear these energetic blocks, making room for a deeper connection with your authentic self.

Breathwork helps you remember who you are beneath the surface, release what’s not yours, allowing you to realign with what deeply matters. In this space, your purpose becomes not just something you seek, but something you live. You live your life not as an abstract idea, but as something you feel deeply and personally.

Bring Your Digestive System Into Energetic Alignment

A woman in a purple shirt performs Healing Touch therapy on a woman lying down in a yellow shirt, focusing on energy healing for digestive wellness.

You’re eating the right things, doing the right things, yet your gut still feels… off.

What if it’s not just about what you’re eating, but how your energy is holding it?

Your solar plexus, the energy center linked to digestion, is also tied to stress, control, and emotional overwhelm. When energy gets stuck there, your body can feel it-in the form of bloating, tension, or that constant knot in your stomach.

Healing Touch helps restore energetic balance and soothe the nervous system, so your gut (and your whole self) can finally exhale. Over the years, so many clients have balanced their digestive issues in my healing practice. I can’t believe I am just now writing a post about it.

Bring your digestive system into energetic alignment.

Book a Healing Touch session.

You Don’t Have To Be Stressed Out Or Sick To Greatly Benefit From Healing Touch

You don’t have to wait for something to “go wrong” to take care of yourself.

In fact, when life does become overwhelming, it’s much easier to navigate it when you have a regular self-care foundation.

Healing Touch is a beautiful and effective way to prioritize your well-being, maintain balance, and nurture yourself in ways that go beyond physical health.

I schedule a Healing Touch session at least once a month. Every time I leave that table, I am so grateful for the session. I feel so much clearer and optimistic.

Even as an Energetic Practitioner who experiences healing energy every day, receiving a healing provides a sacred pause—a moment to reconnect with myself and simply be.

Healing Touch: Opening To Your Intuition

A panoramic view of a serene ocean at sunset, featuring soft clouds and rays of sunlight emerging from behind a distant mountain. Several boats are visible on the calm water.

While Healing Touch isn’t specifically designed to open up intuitive abilities, I have witnessed so many of my clients relax into a space where heightened sensitivity and spiritual growth frequently happen.


Sometimes, just one session can create this opening for my client. More often, a series of healings unblocks their energy centers, and they find their unique spiritual gifts begin to emerge. These gifts include healing abilities, telepathy, mediumship, clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairaudience (clear hearing), spiritual guidance, messages, or visions.


Many clients realize, to their surprise, that they are extremely intuitive and have been using these gifts throughout their lives. It is a joy to watch people experience a deeper understanding of who they truly are.


A whole new realm of life opens up when you become aware of your intuition. Intuition often leads you toward choices that reflect your true values and desires, guiding you to a more authentic, meaningful, aligned life.


Intuition is a direct line to something deeper—your subconscious, your inner wisdom, or even a sense of the divine. Becoming aware of it can make you feel more connected to yourself, others, and the world.


There’s also a sense of wonder. Intuition isn’t always explainable, and that mystery can be exhilarating. It invites curiosity, openness, and trust in the unknown.

Free Monthly Transformational Breath®Gatherings With Dr. Judith Kravitz

Breathwork saves lives. It saved mine and continues to support and keep me grounded in these ‘Transformative’ times.

“Transformative” with a capital “T.” At this point, I make sure I have time to do a short Breathe after I look at the news.

I envision, and am doing my best to manifest a world where everyone who wants Breathwork has access to it.

That is why I am writing you about this amazing monthly event. I did my first online Transformational Breath® in May. It was remarkable. Dr. Judith Kravitz, the visionary creator of Transformational Breath®, led the session.

Judith did a guided meditation, full Breath session, and then held a thoughtful Q&A afterward. It was at 8 a.m. here in California, and it was worth waking up early. I felt fantastic afterward: open, inspired, and clear all day.

Everyone can sign up; no experience with breathwork is required.

The next date is June 21st, 2025. See you there.

Healing: What Is An Energetic Block In The Body?

A Healing Touch session can clear energetic blocks in your body’s energy flow.

What exactly is an energetic block?

An energetic block can be physical pain or tension. These blocks can occur in the body due to past trauma. Such trauma could include a car accident, surgery, dental work, or a sports injury.

Sometimes, a pent-up emotion can block muscle flexibility, mental clarity, and even that sense of well-being. Unprocessed or subconscious fear, guilt, or shame can also impede the flow of energy in the body.

There are so many reasons why we might be blocked. Sometimes our bodies simply forget how to relax, especially after a prolonged illness or a traumatic event like divorce. I find watching the news to be very “unrelaxing.” I always plan a decompression period after scanning the headlines.

My intention as a healer is to create a space where my clients can relax and self-heal.

Relaxing sounds so basic, yet it is a powerful state of consciousness.
