Many of my clients are surprised by how quickly energy healing can work. Recently one of my acupuncturist friends was complaining about her stomach. It had bothered her for months, a constant low grade ache that would worsen when she ate poorly or was under more stress. I had about 20 minutes of free time and offered to work on it, which she gladly accepted.

When I sensed into her system I saw there was an area of irritated stomach lining. I told her about it and described where it was. She said, “Yes, that’s exactly where it hurts.” I spent the next 15 minutes working on it, watching as the inflammation subsided and the tissue began to heal itself. She said it felt 90% better immediately and when I checked a week later she said it was “completely better.”

This sort of result is commonplace with my clients. The energy we are composed of is highly changeable by nature. Its innate movement is toward more life, which literally means it can heal itself. When approached with the proper intent and support, life energy will always change beneficially. And, since it is the basis of our emotions and physical bodies, those change as well.

Emotions are obviously more energetic in nature than our physical structures. They are variable, constantly flowing, and arise and subside without our bidding. They are highly influenced by how our minds react to the environment around us. Strong emotions tend to naturally return to a lower, more stable level but our minds can screw that process up. When we brood on things our emotions become stuck and intensify which is really uncomfortable. Then that discomfort prompts even more brooding and the whole thing can spiral downwards.

Energy healing can go directly to the part of the body where emotions are stuck and release them from the negative spiral. When the emotion is released it immediately shifts to a less charged state and our mood lightens within seconds. The client may feel a brief flare of the emotion as it releases, always followed by a sigh as their system relaxes from the tension. It’s a lovely experience, all my clients enjoy it.
