Energy Healing

In October, our friend Aine, Shiloah and I all tried something. We found an energy healer and signed up for a session. It was, in short, the coolest thing I've ever experienced.

My extent of energy therapy was in Feng Shui. I started studying it about 10 years ago and found that there was some truth to it (be careful because some of it can get superstitious and weird, which are parts I choose not to practice). Some of the things I learned from Feng Shui was that most of the east facing houses Curtis and I have lived in have not brought us any good luck and somehow always have an issue with water. This isn't true for all people as there are specific numbers and directions for each person. We are not east people. It may come off as common sense, but yes, having clutter in your home does affect your energy and things that come to you. For example, if you are single and you can't understand why you're not meeting anyone, look around your house. Are most of your pictures displayed of single people? Depressing pictures? Things that would put off a potential partner? Removes those things and display items that you feel would encourage a partnership, i.e. pairs, pictures with two people in them, some color. There are hundreds of little things I learned and applied over the years that have changed some things for us, some of them a little hokey (like leaving the porch light on during the day so Curtis would attract a new job...and it worked), and some of them just seemed right and worked (like displaying a set of four purple goblets along a southeast window and we started getting some extra money). I think that these ten years of Feng Shui study were preparing me for what I would learn in Energy Healing.

Having always wondered about holistic medicine, it didn't surprise me when I started learning about chakras, laws of the universe, laws of attraction, muscle testing, and then applying what I have learned in the gospel of Jesus Christ, this latter having the greatest impact on my ability to accept energy healing. This wasn't approached on a whim. It took Shiloah about 3 years to accept doing a session for herself, and I made sure I fasted, prayed and got a blessing before I did my session. That was probably a little overdone before embarking on something, but I'm not about to mess with stuff that could potentially harm you. My session went well, and when we got done I felt great. There was nothing to fear and I had stressed out unnecessarily.

There are all kinds of Energy Therapy out there. Feng Shui, Hypnotism, Chiropractic care, Oils, blessings to heal the sick, Acupuncture, meditation, prayer, Yoga. All of these are a type of energy healing. Negative emotions will eventually lead to physical manifestations. When you clear the emotions behind a situation, you free your body to begin to be healed and you can move forward.

After my divorce, I went to see a counselor for issues with abuse, anger and depression. I lasted about a month in therapy. I felt like I was reliving the experiences, or talking in circles. I just wanted to put it behind me and move on. Sometimes the therapist picked up on something I mentioned, like a problem with my mother, or how overwhelmed I felt at the time working two jobs and going to school and being pregnant, and I would get frustrated and after a few weeks I stopped going. If I needed to rehash an argument I had with my mom, or vent that I was feeling overwhelmed, I would talk to my husband and couple close friends. I didn't need to pay 40.00 for that!! When I did my first energy healing session, the divorce came up, however, much to my relief, I didn't need to go into any specific problems or situations that had happened. She cleared the residue and emotions and then we moved on. Quick, clean, and not traumatic at all.

Shiloah and I have been practicing on each other for about two months. We started on our kids, our husbands, family members and then close friends. In another shameless advertising post, I would like to ask for 20 volunteers to do one session of Energy Therapy with either Shiloah or myself for free so that we can get some more experience. If you would like to do a session, please leave a comment with your email address or email me at happylittlemama@yahoo.com with information on how we can contact you.
