Yes, Energy Healing Works

A friend sent me an article from The Atlantic titled “Reiki Can’t Possibly Work.  So Why Does It?” and it brought me such happiness!  Anytime someone, such as the article’s author, goes outside their comfort zone and wonders what is energy healing? I get so excited for them. I know how much life can change once a journey of inner healing and expansion begins.  Reiki is a wonderful door to open to get started.  So is meditation and any form of going beyond our day to day thoughts.

I’ve posted the article at the bottom of this post if you’d like to read it.  I enjoyed that the author was equal parts skeptical and equal parts open to trying something new.  People often give me the furrowed brow look when I tell them I’m an Energy Healer.  The secret they don’t know is we can all be energy healers. I’m just intentionally doing so to help myself and others.

Why are more people using energy healing?  There are endless avenues of healing to take – and it’s very common for someone to come in for a session that has tried everything in the book.  Doctors, psychologist, psychiatrists, elimination diets, restrictive diets, work out programs, self help books, pills.  And still not feeling better.  Still feeling physically unwell.  Or stuck.  Or disillusioned with life.  Or just feeling a general sense of “is this all there is?”  

Most often, people are still focusing solely on the BODY.

Judge Nothing That Occurs

I know a lot of people reading this are like me, trying to balance kids’ schedules, work, Fall activities, and squeezing in time for yourself.  Life can get full.  And when we as humans try to hold it all together, it can be frustrating when things don’t go as planned in your mind.

If like me, some days you are feeling too human, and missing the peace that you know you truly are as a Soul, as Spirit, then try joining me for today in saying this to yourself:
“Today I will judge nothing that occurs”

I find that as I do this, it creates space in my inner world, followed by more peace in my outer world.  Without judgment, where do our thoughts go to?  It creates a space for your higher self, your divine nature, to have breathing room in your reality.

If we don’t judge what one of our friends or family members are doing, and just accept them as is, what then?  We aren’t allowing our minds to be clouded over with “what if” or “if only they changed, then I could be happy”.

Life Is But A Dream

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion.
The great task in life is to find reality. 
-Author/philosopher, Iris Murdoch

How real is the world you’re looking at?  How solid is the chair you sit in?  Very solid, is likely the quick answer.  Yet as quantum physics has proven, this is not the case.  Science now proves that nothing is in fact solid.

As Albert Einstein said, “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”

Although we often don’t think about it consciously, it’s only through our physical eyes that your phone in your hand appears solid, and your foot in your shoe appears solid, etc.  Everything around us, including “us” ourselves, is moving energy.  Levels of vibration; waves of light.

I’m going to dig a little deeper, and look at the question: how real is our reality?

My son used to get terrible night terrors.  My husband and I would find him thrashing and crying in the middle of the night; reaching out at something that wasn’t there.  Yet his eyes were closed.  He was clearly asleep and didn’t realize he was dreaming.  He was experiencing something that terrified him enough that he cried.  My guess is either you or someone you know has experienced the same type of nightmare.

But soon enough morning comes, we open our eyes, and here we are in this reality.  Yet didn’t that dream you just had seem real?  That night terror was real enough to my son that his body was physically reacting.  Although he never left his bed, and he never opened his eyes.  It was all in his mind, in another part of his consciousness.

So we shake off the fog of sleep, get up, and go about our day.

 

However – what if this reality we look around at, the one science has proven is not in fact solid but constantly in motion, is just another form of dreaming?  Another layer of consciousness?  A type of illusion and an elaborate imagining of our powerful Mind?

When Loving Is Tough…Shift To Neutral

While we are living our human life, we live in a world of duality. Light and Dark is an easy way to imagine it.  And we experience both sides.  Yet our core, never dying, expanded consciousness is pure Awareness.  Pure light.  

While on some level most know this to be true, what to do when you simply find it impossible to reach this level of light and love in certain situations?  Shift to Neutral.

Imagine a meter representing your state of mind.  To the left is your Ego self whose main emotion is: FEAR.  To the right is your higher self: unconditional LOVE.

Stop it!

I listened to a podcast the other day where a teacher referred to a Bob Newhart sketch about addressing our fearful mind.  I love Bob Newhart and had never seen this video, but I thought it was worth sharing – for the laugh of course, and also for the bit of insight.

Those familiar with my writing know I focus on edging out our Ego or “small self” voice in favor of following our True Self or our “Expanded Mind” that never dies.  I just love the idea of saying “stop it!” to our repetitive, fearful, and useless thoughts.  What if today we just didn’t give those thoughts any space in our space?  Bob is on to something.  Just “stop it”!  Make it that easy.

Let Go – You Are Right Where You Should Be

“We are only subject to a negative thought or belief if we consciously say that it applies to us. We are free to choose not to buy into a negative belief system.”
-David Hawkins, Letting Go

Try sitting a moment in silence and saying to yourself:  “Let Go.  Surrender to life’s natural, loving, flow.”

When sitting with that statement, notice (without judgement) what feelings arise in your body.  Relief?  Love?  Fear?  Guilt?

Letting go isn’t a passivity to life.  It’s not becoming a door mat.
 Letting go is a shift in perception.  It’s living in state of giving and receiving what is yours – in the moment.  It’s living as the balanced observer of life rather than the victim.  It’s not about perfection either.  A part of us is still human, afterall!  Yes, I do get annoyed with my kids and my husband some days.  I’m just aware of when I’m doing it now.  It doesn’t overtake me.

Waves of Love

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. 
I will meet you there.
-Rumi

Take a moment today to give your body permission to go slack and fully release all tension.  Close your eyes and let out a long, slow breath.  This isn’t a meditation, but a time of purposefully remembering who You are.  With the intention of dropping your awareness of the body, remind yourself that you are a wave of vibrating, moving energy.

You’re surrounded in a sea of information – it is all around you and inside of you.  It is higher consciousness. It’s Source/the Divine/God.  It is a thought away.  By dropping the rigidity of the body and the repetitious thoughts of the brain, you are free.  This freedom is who each of us really is.  The body is only an image – or a projection – formed when we open our eyes again (this is discussed in quantum physics).

Wait – Who’s In Charge Here?

The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak,
the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.
-Elizabeth Cady Stanton

There are an endless number of books, theories, viewpoints, and ideas on what creates our reality.  What is it that influences the path of our lives?  What is orchestrating each connection with a new person, or connecting the dots to create an event, an abundance (or lack of), or new job, or whatever it may be into our life.  Popular theory is that you as a human have a lot to do with it.  You likely have used, or at least recognize, some main stream, self-help views to create these changes, such as:

-Think positively to get what you “want”
-Send out good vibes
-Visualize what you want
-Work hard and sacrifice in order to get what you want
-Write down your goals – then check them off your list
-Repeat positive affirmations
-Manifest what you want through positive intention

These all all nice and fine and I have nothing against them.  I use some of them and they work – sometimes.  And they bring the outcome I desire – on occasion.

But what about the times they don’t?

Freedom vs. Resolutions

I’ve never really been in to New Year’s Resolutions.  Despite the fact that media and marketing wants us to believe a new year is a time to punish our bodies, or make us feel guilty about what we have or haven’t done, it seems most people have wisened up to the idea that resolutions don’t seem to work.  And they usually don’t feel good.

What if as the new year unfolds we instead acknowledge all that we already are?  What if you gave yourself permission to forgive yourself for anything you’ve done (or not done) in the past and accepted that you are right where you’re supposed to be?

Relax and feel the freedom in that.  Letting go of expectations is liberating and allows true creativity to flow from Soul and Spirit.

What if instead of fighting the body, we realize we aren’t the body?
