Many of my clients come to me for healing of aches, pains or acute illnesses. These are fun and generally easy sessions for both of us. Issues that don’t have a strong emotional content resolve quickly, usually within a single session. The client feels much better and is able to move forward with their life immediately.
Other issues such as chronic illness or major traumas will of course take more work and time to resolve. There is always a strong emotional component at the root of such issues, an emotion or trauma that the client shies away from. At the same time my clients feel very strongly that the issue needs to be dealt with and healed if possible. It is horribly painful or limiting, and makes their lives miserable.
That’s where energy healing can really shine. It goes to the root of issues and releases the stuck energy and emotions in accordance with our system’s ability to handle change.
Many issues are simply too big or painful to release in a single session. Or the emotion may be too overwhelming to face completely.
Recently I worked with a woman whose father was very harsh and domineering. As a child she was not allowed to speak back to him or make her needs known. She also suffered physical abuse. Initially she contacted me about chronic knee pain rather than the family traumas. She had just retired and wanted to be able to travel and enjoy her life, her knees were preventing that as it was very painful and difficult to walk.
The first session involved only work in the legs, nothing else came up. While working in the knees during the second or third session she felt releases in her heart, which was an area she couldn’t normally access. Images of being chased by her father appeared and long suppressed emotions poured out. All of this was at a level her system could handle. Although the emotions were somewhat painful they were not overwhelming and it felt good to let them go.
The releasing process continued for several days after that session. In following sessions emotions from other areas surfaced and she was able to deal with them more and more easily as the load on her system decreased. Her knee pain reduced considerably, she went from having difficulty walking to mild pain that she rated 2/10. After several sessions she feelt lighter emotionally, much better physically and was excited to explore her new life chapter of retirement.
Of course not all diseases or issues can be completely healed. Most will change by at least 50% resulting in a much better quality of life for the client. And often people will want to work on an issue for a while and then take a break, coming back to it when they feel a need for deeper change.
