This is a wonderful explanation of healing and what happens in a session 🙏🏼
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A HEALING SESSION WITH ME ...
For 45 years I have worked without labels - I simply call myself a healer. There’s no ‘spiritual’, ‘reiki’, ‘faith’, ‘angelic’, etc. as I’ve never cared for the constraints given by tags. My work is, if anything, medically-oriented, grounded, accessible, and without any gobbledygook!
For a first appointment, I allocate one hour with subsequent sessions being 30 minutes. I like initially to get to know someone and my patients probably like to get to know me! We talk about their life, illness, treatment, feelings and anything else that may be relevant. I never offer any diagnosis although occasionally suggest that a second opinion from another medical consultant may be helpful.
I’ve learned over the decades that simply listening without talking, advising or judging initiates healing. From my perspective it also shapes empathy and an energetic connection with another. It’s not unusual that emotions release and a healing interaction starts before I’ve even put my hands on a patient.
As the healing session starts I put on my music, place my hands on the patient’s shoulder or back and close my eyes. I don’t go into any kind of trance - I just gently “attune” to them. Our breathing slows and it’s not long before we both experience a peaceful sense of togetherness or “oneness”.
At the start of the session I encourage people to imagine themselves being healthy, well, and free of pain - and to try to project themselves forward in time to a place of wellbeing. Almost invariably this conscious effort is quickly replaced by what can best be described as a highly visual waking dream state of powerful imagery.
Most people feel a sense of great heat from my hands as I place them on or close to areas of the body that need healing. However, if you don’t feel anything it doesn’t mean that nothing is happening! Some patients report that during a session they experience curious sensations of internal movement, pulling or even tugging even though my hands are quite still. Many more say that they could feel three hands working on them simultaneously!
Over the years the length of time of the healing has settled at about 20 minutes on each session although it clearly continues to work for days and weeks afterwards. People often find it an extraordinarily difficult experience to articulate and many drift into a quiet reflective space for some time afterwards.
I’m not a miracle worker - even though there are occasionally exceptional results very quickly - so I tend to work with patients over a period of time, usually spacing appointments on a monthly basis.
I always count my blessings that I was, for whatever reason, given this gift. It’s my passion and raison d’etre. I love it when a session has finished and I’m asked, “Is my mascara running?”
Healing works not only physically but mentally, emotionally and spiritually - and it’s benefits are lasting and often life-changing.
As I get older, and I hope a little wiser, if I’ve learned nothing else I know that healing is a state of being.
It is entered with an open heart, compassion, and empathy. Quiet moments of listening - not to reply - allow us to hold space for another. Healing flows within this divine reverence, and with no judgement we become the light. We float on an ocean of sublime bliss with no barriers, in a field where anything is possible.
This is healing. Only love is real.
