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: 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.

Client Testimonial For Clarity Breathwork After Traumatic Accident

“Jeri Lawson is a gifted healer. I might even describe her as magic. However, Jeri is very much the real deal, and I’m very lucky to have her in my life. I have been seeing Jeri since 2013 for Reiki which has made a profoundly positive impact on my life and well-being.

She recently suggested I try Clarity Breathwork after being in an incredibly traumatic pedestrian accident to help alleviate trauma and lingering physical pains. I feel safe and supported in her presence. She holds space for me while I transport to an altered state of consciousness. This is a safe space where I physically and emotionally feel the presence of spirits from beyond the veil there to heal and support me. There can be moments during Breathwork that feel intense, but Jeri is there for you in just the right way.

Although she explained the benefits I might experience from Breathwork, I did not expect the results to be so swift and mind-blowing. The pain in my lower back is gone. My outlook on life’s challenges is lighter, and I feel grounded. Our sessions are highly spiritual and emotional. I leave each session feeling more connected to myself and everything around me.

I’ve incorporated Clarity Breathwork into my life’s toolkit, and I look forward to our next session!”

  • – Jihyun Kim

Thank you for this testimonial, Jihyun. I am so happy to post it and share how healing Clarity Breathwork can be after a car, bike, or other accident. Over the years, I have witnessed many people heal physically and emotionally, often finding a closer connection to spirit after a such and overwhelming and tramatic event.

Veda Austin and The Secret Intelligence of Water

 

Petri Dish With Water and Pyramid Before Freezing (from Veda’s website)
Image In Frozen Water From Same Petri Dish After Freezing (from Veda’s website)

The work of Veda Austin is phenomenal. She takes photographs that prove water has consciousness. Maybe water is consciousness.

These photographs are stunning, like the images of Masaru Emoto.

I have always known that water, silk, and cotton could hold healing energy. Years ago, I met a woman who made 100% cotton Teddy Bears you could fill with loving, healing energy. Then you could give that stuffed animal to a child who was not feeling well – and it appeared to really comfort the child. It was such a sweet way to support another person energetically. I must have given away ten of those bears.

Now that I have been introduced to Veda’s research with water, I feel there are so many more ways to share energy with others. I also feel like I have a deeper awareness of what may be occurring in many of my healing sessions.

Here is a great interview of Veda telling her story and describing her research and how she began communicating with water. If you don’t have much time, start the video 15 minutes in and listen. 

I ordered some Petri dishes and can’t wait to take some photos.

Check out her website for more videos. Enjoy!

Energy, Chaos And The Healing Urge To Connect

Right Outside My Door Last Week

Most often during a healing session my experience of energy is very dualistic: contraction/expansion, chaos/cohesiveness, swirling/still, lightness/heaviness.

I am not usually the type of healer that can see that in third grade you were thoroughly embarrassed in front of your homeroom class, and you still can’t speak in public without breaking a sweat. I am most often (every session is different) the type of healer who can sense the “thick energy” in your throat and hold a space for you to relax and let it release.

The energy right now in Oakland, California, is unusually chaotic with all the storms, flooding, and rain. I feel this chaos is allowing for faster and deeper transformation. Everything is already stirred up. While things feel ‘broken down,’ there is a powerful, positive, and healing urge to reconnect.

I actually recently ended a healing session after only 35 minutes because the person on the table was just “done.” He was very still on the table for about 45 minutes after I finished. He later told me it was a ‘breakthrough’ session for him.  

Life, energy, and our capacity for healing are expanding and evolving faster than ever. These are interesting times.

“This is better than Ayahuasca!”

 – Client after her first session.

“It was such a treat to work with you.  It was one of the most profound and healing moments in my life. Thank you.”

– Client after first session

“Jeri! Thanks to you breathwork is a huge part of my life and has helped me feel and accept my feelings and receive guidance and just plain love and validation.”

  • – Client after several sessions

“You reminded me over and over again how there was so much support around me, how held I was, how loved I was.  I could feel it.  My chest, my heart feel open.  It astounds me sometimes how deeply every piece of my being trusts you, but it is also the most beautiful thing.  For the first time in weeks, I am cautiously optimistic looking forward.”

 – Client after many, many breathes.

Clarity Breathwork and Energetic Healing Support For Psychedelic Medicine

In the Bay Area, Psychedelic Medicine is now fairly mainstream – well, in my world anyway.

“In clinical research settings around the world, renewed investigations are taking place on the use of psychedelic substances for treating illnesses such as addiction, depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).”

– Psychedelic Medicine: A Re-emerging Therapeutic Paradigm from the Canadian Medical Association Journal by Kenneth W. Tupper, PhD,  Evan Wood, MD PhD, Richard Yensen, PhD, and Matthew W. Johnson, PhD

With Netflix’s limited series How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan and Paul Stamets’s illuminating stories of self-healing in Fantastic Fungi, many people have begun to explore healing and spiritual growth with Psychedelic Medicine. People started calling me for healing and breathwork sessions around five years ago to prepare for their Psilocybin journeys and MDMA-Assisted Therapies.

The first client to contact me about this asked for a Reiki/Healing Touch session to help her to integrate a life-changing Ayahuasca ceremony. I learned quite a lot from this client. I began researching more about plant medicine so I could create a grounded and healing space for others on this path. It has been wonderful to witness how beneficial energetic support is for these clients.

Clarity Breathwork: A Daily and Divine Self-Care Practice

“Clarity Breathwork has changed my spiritual practice and life into a calmer, more relaxed and expansive feeling. Since being introduced to it, I have used it daily as part of my meditation and self-care practice. The sense of peacefulness and bliss that flows through me when I am finished is divine.  I highly recommend Clarity Breathwork for everyone. ” 

  • – Client
  • Breathwork is a powerful process of healing and transformation; It has been a foundational part of my own self-care for many years. I breathe with my breathworker at least once a month and on my own whenever I feel disconnected or off-balance. This practice keeps me connected to spirit and the greater consciousness.  It is profound. It is Divine.
