Everything is made up of energy and has its own unique vibration, including each one of us. Being that we were created by God, that vibration is naturally high. As we go through our lives each day, other energy can affect our vibration, raising it or lowering it. Energy healing is about finding the energy that is no longer serving you well and releasing it so you can heal and raise your vibration to its natural state.

When thinking about this, the word I keep getting is balance. Energy healing helps bring you into balance, your natural state as a spiritual being, which feels good. Knowing what being in balance feels like for you is important. The more aware you are of it, the easier it is to recognize the signs of when you are out of balance so you can take steps to regain it. One of the participants commented that it takes effort, commitment and consistency to stay in balance, but you can definitely feel the difference. And it pays off in the long run because the better you know yourself and the more aware you are, the sooner you can tell that something doesn’t feel right and move back into balance.

Energy healing can be done in so many ways. When I first started as a Spiritual Counselor, I saw it as a straight-forward healing session, like chakra clearing, past life readings, aura reading, etc., where the client is releasing energy in some way. As I learn and do more work with people, I’ve seen healing happen through hands on healing, channeling healing energy, oracle card readings and with a medium as people receive messages from Spirit and departed loved ones that help them move forward. I also believe anything that brings you joy or makes your heart sing can help you heal energetically. Love can heal anything, so when you are doing something that brings you joy, you are in a space of love and can heal on different levels!

I’ve been finding that many people do not know what happens during a healing session or have misconceptions about it and are therefore hesitant to try it. Here are some basics:

• Energy healing can be done not just in person, but also remotely. I have done sessions by phone, Skype, email and even with people while they have been asleep on the other side of the world! Energy has no boundaries and anything is possible!
• My healing sessions tend to have a lot of laughter and actually be fun! Healing happens more easily when people are relaxed and having fun certainly relaxes people! That’s not to say I haven’t had serious moments during sessions. People have come to me with some deep and intense stuff they want to heal and I take that very seriously. My goal is to help them get to a place again where they can laugh and enjoy life. Even after a “serious” session, clients have felt a sense of relief. Whenever it is appropriate though, there will be laughter! Besides that, Spirit likes to make us laugh with their amazing ways whenever possible!
• People ask “how does energy healing work?” Quite simply, it’s all about intention. If you can think it, visualize it, say it or feel it, then it will happen! Anyone and everyone can do it!
• Although I call an appointment with a client a “session”, it is not to be confused with a traditional counseling session where you talk through your emotions, feelings, thoughts, etc. During a session with me, the focus is on finding what needs to be released energetically and helping to shift the client’s energy to a higher vibration.
• My work is nondenominational and respectful of my client’s beliefs. I have worked with people of different religions and beliefs. The God, Master Teachers, Angelic Realm and Guides that I work with to help others heal are all-inclusive and love everyone, regardless of their religion or beliefs.

Healing is a process. When I assist clients to release and heal, it happens instantly as spirit, so by the end of the session they have shifted energetically. The body may take some time to catch up and it’s not uncommon to physically feel the energetic shift even a couple days later. The process doesn’t end there though. The shift now occurs in your life, in the day to day stuff. For example, you release something that gets in the way of you owning your power. You shifted on an energetic level, but that doesn’t necessarily mean from that point on you will never give away your power again or you will own your power 100% in everything you do. Maybe the next day you go to work and while interacting with a co-worker you don’t own all your power. Because you shifted energetically, you now notice a ‘hey this doesn’t feel right or this doesn’t feel good to me” feeling. Congratulations, you’re healing! That feeling is telling you that you weren’t owning your power. If possible, you can take some positive steps with that co-worker then to own your power. If that’s not possible, then learn from it and come up with ways you could handle the situation differently so you own your power if it happens again. Similar situations may come up a number of times as you become more aware of how it feels to own your power and then own it more and more!
