How To Heal

One piece of knowledge I have, that not everyone knows about, is how to repair my body, mind, and spirit. Granted these days the pursuit is more mainstream than when I began my training 25 years ago.

I received my Level one Reiki attunement in 2001, and my Level two Reiki in 2004. I studied, practiced, and eventually taught, with a reiki master, and have continued practicing for the last two decades.

I am currently preparing for my master levels.

This was not the beginning though.

I had awareness of the energy of all things from the time i was tiny, probably around 3 years old. I could see colours around people when they were strongly emoting. I could feel my energy centres, and I knew them only as the tickling lights in my body. I did not talk about them to others because I heard no mention of these mysterious lights from my parents, peers, or on tv.

In western first world countries, these ancient understandings have been overshadowed by more modern approaches to medicine. Sometimes these modern miracles are truly amazing and lifesaving. They are researched extensively and funded enormously. I can thank modern medicine for the life of my son, who nearly died from a staph infection when he was only 3. If it wasn’t for penicillin I would have lost him. Also I have beautiful Goddess Family members who have survived and thrived post breast cancer thanks to modern medicine.

As a Trained and experienced pharmacy assistant, I have a good working knowledge, and deep respect for medical intervention. Also, a very clear perspective on where, and when it may need to connect with its counterpart.

Energy Healing.

Which is, in my mind, ALWAYS. The marriage of modern, and what I call traditional healing, has been thrust into divorce court before the marriage could even be consumated.

Scientific data, and toxic masculinity have definitely been in bed together. Its philosophical offspring have served to negate energy healings etheric, unmeasurable, and faith based foundations.

With the emergence of a new and hopeful paradigm, the sacred masculine and the sacred feminine returning to balance once again, we are seeing this marriage begin to take form. It turns out, energy healing IS measurable, and currently many researchers are beginning to unfurl this long hidden key to abundant health.

I personally have accessed deep levels of healing through the practice of understanding my Chakra systems, and actively engaging them for the purpose of repairing my body, mind and spirit.

Modern medicine addresses mostly the physical and broaches on the mental, but does not engage with emotional or spiritual well being. Through the study of this I have come to understand in very deep ways, the truth that we actually have FOUR bodies of health. Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

When you begin to address your health with the consideration of all these bodies, as well as the chakras connected with them, true and miraculous healing can occur.

The Practice of presence has been downplayed in its importance via marketing and media depictions of success and happiness as purchasable.

This is of course not the case. Step one towards presence is found most accessibly via meditation. When we can train our minds to be still and experience only the simplest and most fundamental aspects of embodiment, it is here that you will begin to feel the energy centres within you.

My approach to teach the foundations of meditation are rooted in connection with nature. Quietly sit somewhere by yourself where there are trees and if possible a flowing creek or river. Remove your shoes and socks and get in direct contact with our beautiful planet.

Be still, focus on your breath, and the sounds of nature all around you. Continue with this breathwork until you feel your awareness shift to the sounds directly surrounding you.

Wind in tree, water on stone, Birds in song, and your own breath are all that exists for you in this space you are creating.

This is step one.

Step two begin at your root, the base chakra that sits in your sacrum. Visualize a deep red light glowing and spinning clockwise, blooming like a lotus until it is fully open, follow upwards to your navel, and begin the visualization of the same spinning light. This, an orange and sunny lotus, blooming until open. Breath the connected light of the lower chakras into your solar plexus, a golden, warm and joyful lotus begins to open and you have stepped upon the bridge to the upper chakras. This is the seat of joy and anger and has been a challenge for many, continue your breathing, deeply into your diaphragm as you allow this chakra to open fully and bathe your spirit in its infinite light. This assists the heart Chakra, a beautiful green song, to open and bloom into its own powerful and transformative lotus. The Throat follows and is represented by a lovely sky blue, where all your truth can be spoken and felt without aggression. The conduit for breath, and the seat of all communication on earth, and with all the etheric realms. Now focus on the center of your brow. Re-visit the pathway from your root to your third eye. The spinning and Indigo lotus of your intuition. The seat of your consciousness, and the realms of knowing that go beyond the physical. Watch it open and bloom, in succession to each of the prior lights within you. Your crown chakra radiates at the violet light frequency and is on the very top of your head, feel it warm and spin as it becomes re-connected with every chakra beneath it. This is where you connect with the transpersonal point, the point where all consciousness exists, and is accessible to you from this place of wholeness. Allow the Golden light to enter your crown, and bathe every cell in its light.

Practice this until you can recall the senses present during your meditation at will. Meaning instantaneously. This along with nutritious and un processed food, and water you will find yourself in new and exiting spaces of contentment and health.

This is information you may not have known, that I can share with confidence that, in its consistent practice, you will find a greater quality of life, deeper, more connected relationships with yourself and others, and of course with our beautiful and Sacred home, The Earth. 🌍

Beauty Above, Beauty Below, Beauty Beside, Beauty Within, this is my blessing and prayer for humanity.

With all the Love in my Heart
