Healing: Aligning With Your Highest Intentions

IMG_0893This Jan. 1, 2016 post from Jeri Lawson, a wonderful Healing Touch & Reiki practitioner in Oakland, is such a great example of the many diverse uses of energy healing work. What we do is not just for pain, anxiety, chronic illness or stress. Balancing your energy field and aligning with your higher self and life-purpose can have very far-reaching effects. Thank you, Jeri, for your lovely reminder of this!

I often schedule a healing for myself when I feel sluggish or ungrounded. Most of my clients also come for a session when they feel out of balance or stressed.

A few months ago I had a client who came for a healing so that she could energetically align with her highest intentions. This involved taking her small business to a new level.

Before the healing, she explained exactly what she wanted to manifest. She had researched her initial goals as much as she could. She had reorganized her office, her schedule, and even her computer to handle the expected volume increase.

She had also spent months deeply reflecting on the personal issues that had once held her back. Her insights were remarkable. She was so clear and grounded, and so present.

For her, the healing was a culmination of all the internal work she had done. She saw her business as an external manifestation of that work. She was now ready to align with her highest intentions and move forward in her life.

I could feel the energy in the room moving before she even got on the table. The session was so powerful. The energy was swirling, rolling, and expanding throughout the session. The vibration was very high; my focus as a healer was to keep the space grounded for her.

It was an eye-opening session for me. I was reminded that healing is not just about fixing what is wrong or out of balance. The healing space, sacred space, is also a place from which to create and manifest.

It is important to note here that the most transformative Reiki and Healing Touch sessions are often very subtle. So subtle that the effects of many healings are not even realized until days after the session.

Become Healthier by Interacting with Nature

“Nature makes us nicer as well as calmer.

It may also make us nicer to ourselves.”

Science is proving what we’ve always known intuitively: Nature does good things to the human brain. It makes us healthier, happier, and smarter.

 

Imagine a therapy that had no known side effects, was readily available, and could improve your cognitive functioning at zero cost. It exists, and it’s called “interacting with nature.”

For a delightful overview of this subject, check out this article by National Geographic:

This Is Your Brain on Nature

My thanks to Mimi Guarneri, MD, FACC, ABIHM, president of the the Academy of Integrative and Holistic Medicine for the above quotes from her most recent newsletter.

Healing as Ceremony

This post by a Healing Touch friend in San Francisco is one I found so relevant in this holiday season. It is a time when we remember and long for the company of family and friends who have passed.

What a sacred way to honor the memory of our loved ones, and to help heal the emotional scars of their loss.

If you are feeling in need of some sacred healing space, please consider calling or e-mailing for an appointment for such a sacred and ceremonial energy healing session.

I recently had a session with a woman on the second anniversary of her Mother’s death.

Two years ago she had a session with me a few days right after her Mother’s transition, and also on the first anniversary of her passing.

We lit some candles and chose the perfect music. The session was so beautiful. In that sacred space, that oneness, we both felt a connection to everything that ever was and ever will be.

She told me the sessions provided a place where she could fully “recognize all the feelings that were coming up” and “acknowledge the many layers of sadness and release” she was processing.

She said she felt so much comfort from the healing.
