ENERGY HEALING
Energy Healing can open your consciousness to recognize the deeper connection between mind, body, and spirit. Sometimes referred to as a "Massage for the Soul," these sessions can vary greatly depending on your intention for healing and plan of action you and your energy practitioner co-create to best serve you!
Benefits include:
- Cleansing and clearing of stagnant, negative energy
- Boost of good, positive energy and healing towards ones intention for their life
- Reduced pain and increase in mobility
- Revitalizing and cleansing the Chakras
SOUND HEALING
Sound has been utilized in various cultures for thousands of years as a tool for healing. By using rhythm and frequency, healers can help the patient downshift brainwaves from normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state). People report that sound healing helps with:
- Sleep disorders
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress management
- PTSD
- Depression
- Pain management
What is energy healing and what is it used for?
The term energy healing encompasses a large range of modalities that affect your energetic body, alternately called an energetic field, a spirit body, or aura; it is sometimes described as a massage for your energetic body, helping to release blockages and tension in your auric field to help your energy to flow with strength and ease. Energy healing is a skill that is innate to humans and other beings, and though there are different conceptual frameworks, one of the most common is the chakra system. The chakras are energetic centers in your body that represent and depict fluidity or imbalances in specific physical and emotional areas of ourselves. Breathwork, the act of using your breath to move energy, is a very powerful tool for healing, as it is directly tied to your energetic system. These may also be blended with the concept of mind/body/spirit, and while we may be more familiar with ways of keeping our mind and body clear and in shape, energy healing focuses on feeding and resting our spirit, keeping our energetic system running smoothly.
What are some examples of energetic healing modalities?
Some examples of energy healing modalities include Quantum Touch, breathwork, flower essences, qigong, ThetaHealing, cranial-sacral, Access Bars, shamanism, reflexology, acupressure, acupuncture, and Alexander Technique. Most have heard of Reiki, a modality that has gained a large following, and even that can be broken down into different lineages, such as Holy Fire, Usui, Raku Kei, etc. There is a large array of options for those interested in energetic healing, because of this we recommend starting with a healer that you feel most comfortable with, the modality isn’t always pertinent, the trust with your facilitator is.
Why are they called “Healers”?
The term “Healer” is a slight misnomer, as the client is actually the person healing themselves, while the healer holds space, provides an open connection to the divine, and a higher vibration to resonate and cleanse with in a process called entrainment. Healers are individuals that have learned to ground, raise, or move energy for themselves and others. It may be easier to think of them as a creator of a container, the container being the time and space (the session) within which you and your healer will channel high vibrational energy or chi. Only the person receiving the healing knows what their highest self is moving towards, where their boundaries are, and where it is safe to challenge and push themselves. It is not our focus to “heal” you, but to provide you with a safe and energetically charged space to help you relax, open up, and heal yourself with the guidance of a healing practitioner. This concept is reflected by our mission statement: “Our wholehearted intention is to bring healing to everyONE willing to open up and allow themselves to become the healer in their own lives.”
Is there any physical touch, such as in a massage?
Only healers that have certifications to administer physical touch have the right to do so, this includes an array of different practices and should be discussed prior to beginning your session. The facilitator may lay a hand on your body where they feel a connection is necessary, but only with consideration and your explicit consent. There usually is very little physical touch within energy healing sessions, but that doesn’t mean you won’t feel anything. We often describe energy healing as a massage for your energetic body, and during the session you may feel physical sensations such as tingling, heat, coolness, pressure, twitching, rushes, or pulling. It is not often that these sensations are uncomfortable, though they may be new and strange. In an instance where they are, please make your practitioner aware immediately.
How will I feel afterwards?
Every person’s energetic system reacts differently when they give or receive energy, so the results vary in nature and noticeability. People often report feeling much lighter, as if they have dropped a lot of energetic baggage that they seem to carry around without noticing. Other effects reported are having more clarity, feeling less self-doubt, a sense of calm, a quiet mind, and more self awareness. We usually ask clients to leave their expectations for sessions at the door in favor of intentions, as expectations lead to disappointments, but intentions are powerful - they lead to manifestations.
What should I expect for my first session?
When you come into Healing One for your first energy healing session, you will be asked to fill out some paperwork relevant to your health history while a float technician prepares your organic tea or water. Your healer will come and introduce themselves, look over your paperwork, and take you to your Healing Room. In the room, your healer will discuss with you the conceptual ideas of energy healing, body awareness, the energetic system, and intentions for the session. Before you begin, together you will set an intention, which may be broad (such as a general cleansing of the system) or more personal (such as a specific energy or direction you’d like to bring into your life). After you are happy with your intentions, you will lay on a massage bed and relax as the healer opens the space and begins to work with your energetic field. Expression through talk, movement, or emotional outlets are appropriate and helpful, and more than likely there will be some discussion during the session. Your healer will then close the space and check in with how you’re feeling. Hugs are often given after the session, as they are fun and healing too!
