My thoughts on healing are:
First of all, everything is energy … our thoughts and feelings, our bodies,
the chair I am sitting on etc.
From the time we are born, we are socialized by the group mind and taught to
believe what … a good boy/girl is, a good Canadian is, a good family member
is, and on it goes. Through socialization we are taught to look outside
ourselves for truth, safety, love, validation, worth, etc.
As we grow, things happen in our environment that may scare or hurt us.
If there are no answers to explain what happened or if we are being abused, then
we need to make up an answer to feel safe. The stories (answers) we make
up to feel safe affect every aspect of our lives … how we feel about
ourselves, the type of relationships we are allowed to have, the type of work we
can do, etc. The amazing thing is that many of the stories we make up are
not and have never been true. What is true is that “something”
happened and we made a story up to understand it to feel safe.
The unexpressed energy from our stories and from any life situation in which we
were unable to complete it (to feel it fully) is held in our bodies as chronic
tension.
In an effort to complete or heal these held energy patterns (stories and
chronic tension) we unconsciously choose situations in our lives which have a
similar vibration or feel in the hopes that we can finally heal them.
So, here we are as adults living our lives through the filters of our
stories, our chronic tension and the expectations of the group mind and we are
tired.
The gift is that we feel that something is missing and it is often
experienced as a deep longing or as a health issue. Over time, some of us
come to realize that what we are missing is our connection to self and to life.
We want to Find Our Way Home.
What can we do?
Personally I feel that healing is learning to be more present and grounded in
my body so that I can have a “felt sense” of what my truth is, which is
“does this feel good or not.” I do that by paying attention to my
breath, where it goes in my body or where it doesn’t and noticing what
feelings are present. With the felt sense of my truth, I’ve learned to
stop looking outside of myself for approval and I’m letting go of stories that
do not serve me.
Important parts of my learning have been to seek counseling when needed and
to have bodywork and energy work done to help me discover what I hold in my
body.
The most important thing I have learned on my healing path is “that I
don’t need to know the answer!” To need to know the answer takes me
away from my body and my truth and into my mind, which just creates drama and
another story.
What would I recommend?
- Use the Healing
exercise whenever you need to come back to the present moment so that you
can know and speak your truth.
- Do the Gratitude
exercise each day so that you bring gratitude into your life, mind and
body. Doing this will change your life!
- Use the 4 Questions
as a way of knowing what your responsibility is in any situation.
- Let go of
“needing” to know the answers to why things are the way they are and
feel them instead.
- Write out what kind
of life you would like to live and focus on what it would feel like in your
body if you already had it.
- Write in a journal
to get things out of your head. This
is helpful in picking out patterns of thought that you may want to let go
of.
- Take up an activity
that allows you to feel your body … drumming, chanting, yoga etc.
- Find a practitioner
you feel safe with to explore and help shift what is being held in your
body.
- Counseling may be
important in helping to shift perceptions and to work through issues that
you may be having difficulty with on your own.
It comes down to you finding the tools
to remind yourself of who you really are.
How can I help?
Using energy and bodywork with sound, colour, movement and my own intuitive
and clairvoyant abilities I can assist you in developing a "felt
sense" of where energy is being held in your body so that you can make a
choice about it and shift it.
This is important, because the stories (energy) that are held in our bodies
act like filters through which we experience life and because they are
unconscious they impact our ability to make lasting changes in our lives.
Our nervous systems act on them before we even have a chance to think about how
we want to react in a situation.
A session is very gentle. Most often it is done on a massage table, you
would be fully dressed and laying on your back. I can work with you
standing or sitting in a chair as well. I use a light touch which feels
like a gentle rocking motion. I can work strictly with energy and no
touching at all if that is desired.
