1. What is Energy Healing?
Energy healing is a broad term used to describe a variety of holistic healing techniques that use the mind - body - spirit connection to promote wellbeing in the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and energy bodies of the client. It is a natural type of therapy which complements conventional medicine well by treating the whole being. Practitioner’s channel universal life force (chi, prana or healing energy) into the sessions which helps to balance, heal and remove blockages from the client. The effects are both pleasant and powerful at the same time. Back to those physics days where we learned about energy and the concept that everything is energy. The chair you are sitting on. The apple that is in your lunch. The device that you are using to view this website. Everything has an energetic vibrational frequency. Even emotions... Each emotion has their own energy frequency for example Love and Joy resonates at a higher frequency than Anger or Boredom. If these emotions are not fully processed, they can create energy balls that get trapped in the body creating blocks in the human system and its ability to function optimally. Even words… Words hold energy, as well as the person delivering the message. I have experienced a conversation when the person was giving a compliment but the energy behind the words was completely patronizing. Then the intention or energy behind the words can be felt to great depths more so than the word itself. Basically everything in the universe is made up of energy vibrating at different frequencies and our bodies are no exceptions to that. Each part of our body parts or systems have an energetic field including our organs and tissues. Many times grief resided in the lungs and anger resided in the livers. Even though you can’t touch it or necessarily see the physical manifestation of energy like you do an apple or a chair - you sure can feel it and its effects. A good analogy to describe energy - is the wind. You can’t see it, you can’t touch it … but you can feel its presence and are able to see the effects of a wind storm on the street where you live. We work with the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual body and the energetic bodies. While each of the bodies are independent of each other, they are also interconnected. If one of them is out of balance it can put strain or stress on the other bodies. And you may end up feeling discomfort in certain areas of your life, like abundance, your finances or even relationships. By using universal energy, we can shine light on the problem and help alleviate pain and suffering that has been caused due to blocks, limited beliefs or trapped emotions in one of the 5 bodies. The ultimate goal of energy healing is to balance the energy flow in the client so that it can promote optimal functioning. It can be used to reduce stress & anxiety as well as promote well-being.
2. What if I am skeptical about Energy Healing?
I completely understand your hesitation around energy healing. For me, I needed to experience the shift in energy before I believed in the power of this work. During my first energy healing session I felt tingles, goosebumps and releases taking place in my upper and lower body. I knew that this was just energy moving which meant there was an opening for healing to occur. We have clients check into the level of pain they are experiencing before the session, as well as after. 99% of the time they report that their pain level has decreased and they feel lighter and more relaxed. I went into a session with a 7 out of a 10 pain level headache and by the end of the session it was at a 0. Seeing that Energy Healing is non-invasive and it can't cause harm, I suggest giving one session a try so that you can have a felt experience of the benefits of an energy healing session.
3. What are the biggest misconceptions about Energy Healing?
Myth 1: There’s no science behind energy healing One of the biggest energy healing myths is that there is no science to support it, however, that is simply not the truth. Along with leading institutions like the NCCAM and NCHS, the NIH’s National Center for Complementary Health (NCCIH) has spent years conducting scientifically-backed research about the potential effectiveness, quality, and benefits of energy healing. Through these studies, researchers have found that energy healing may be used to improve the immune system, reduce pain, facilitate and speed recovery, and much, much more. Myth 2: Energy healing requires you to be religious Energy healing is designed to activate the body’s energy systems and remove any negative energies or blocks that may prevent self-healing. In no way does this process require you to subscribe to a religion or to believe in a God. Myth 3: Energy healing is a new, modern practice The practice of energy healing has been around for thousands of years. Before the introduction of Western medicine, many people turned to the local medicine woman or shaman to help maintain or improve their health. These primitive practitioners would use an array of techniques in an effort to align their patients’ energies and enhance the body’s own recovery abilities. Even today, traditional Chinese medicine incorporates and relies on the use of energy.
4. Can you use different healing modalities or a combination of them?
It doesn't necessarily matter what energy healing modality you choose because it all works on the same premise using universal energy to remove blocks from someone so that they may function optimally in their daily lives. Energy healing is non-invasive, deeply relaxing, holistic and a sustainable resource. It’s goal is is to support on in regaining balance in the mind / body / emotions and spirit of the client. Energy healing can support: Joints and muscles in the physical body. Releases trapped emotions from the emotional body. Softens mental blocks in the mind. Supports integrating one's higher purpose at a spiritual level. Opening one’s chakras in the energetic bodies. By using love and light and universal energy to do so. Energy healing is a natural type of therapy which complements conventional medicine well by treating the whole being on a deeper holistic level.
5. Is it safe to use Energy Healing with children and animals?
Absolutely. Energy healing is non-invasive and can cause no harm. Either the energy block is removed or it is not. In both cases, parental or owner consent would be needed. Both children and pets love energy healing. They tend to be more open and have less blocks stopping them from receiving the gifts in the session. I have taught my kids how to move energy in their own body as a tool for their tool box to learn how to navigate these unprecedented times in the world right now and they are the first to jump up on my table and ask to be supported energetically.
6. What can I expect during a distance Energy Healing session?
Generally the beginning and end of the session will look the same however, depending on which energy healing modality you choose will dictate specifically what each session looks like. Typically before a session one can expect to fill out a healthy history and consent form which will be emailed out at the time of booking. All logistics such as paperwork, scheduling and payment will be navigated prior to the session so that we both can be fully present at the start of the session. It is important to be in a quiet space where you feel safe and are able to speak openly. Feel free to sit up or lie down during the session. I suggest having some water or your favourite drink to sip during the session. Headphones are highly recommended so that your arm does not get tired from holding the phone. At the beginning of a session we check in and set an intention. A small prayer to connect to one's higher power so that we can use the universal energy of love to facilitate the healing. Permission to act as a proxy is required. Energy flows where it needs to go as the healing session takes place. Clients report feeling temperature changes, sometimes tingling or goosebumps, constriction and expansion in certain body parts, wisping of movement above the body, sometimes a popping sound or a flush feeling as energy blocks are released. At the end of the session we disconnect energetically and then check in and talk about what came up during the session as well as ways to maintain the healing. The majority of my clients report feeling lighter after a session. Some report feeling energised while others may need to have a small nap. I suggest drinking lots of water and taking some time and space to integrate slowly back into your daily routine as you may feel very relaxed and peaceful
