My own experience with Energy Healing & why I started this work

It all started with a party - an unexpected place to discover energy healing and the feeling of unconditional love. For some context, normally I find parties very challenging (I have some sensory issues with sound) but this party was different - it was heart opening and life changing.

It was a friend’s milestone surprise birthday party. It was small and invite only at a friends house as Covid Restrictions had just allowed 30 people to gather in one place. I was surprised to find some folks from my High School there whom I hadn’t spoken to in over 10 years. They remembered me (I was shocked) and wanted to talk with me (I was even more shocked).

During the evening and into the night, I started to feel this light, all encompassing Energy enter into my body and the space around us. I felt fearless and I had no sensory issues that night (now super shocked!). I talked with people, helped them work through old ideas they had about themselves or me in High School, and offered comfort and support for their true selves. I could feel the heaviness of these ideas and thoughts lift from them in those moments, things that they had been carrying all this time. It was amazing. I checked in on people who looked lonely or isolated, and I could truly feel the love energy in the space. It was a kind of unconditional love for everyone no matter who they were or what happened in the past.

I decided that night that I wanted to help all folks feel like this - feel unconditionally loved and connected to this kind of Energy. I had made this internal decision and I was elated and excited when I returned home. As I was trying to settle down to sleep I got a message. A strong message for my future based on this decision.

Now, I wasn’t a very Spiritual person at the time. I dabbled in some Tarot Reading and house cleansing now and then, but it was not through a Spiritual lens. I was also, and am still not, affiliated with any religion although I was baptized Christian as a very young child, and my husband of 8 years is Buddhist. Anyways… the message.

The message I got was so strong, I felt sure that it wasn’t my own thoughts in my head - it was the Energy speaking (although I didn’t know it at the time). I still had this wonderful feeling of peace, freedom, encouragement, and love, and so I submitted to this loving Energy and listened inward. It first asked Are you committed to this work? Are you ready to make a huge shift? Are you sure you want to help others feel like this? And I answered to all a huge Yes! The message was then Okay, then you need to go to this website (a local metaphysical shop I had passed by a few times), look for this course being offered in 3 weeks time, sign up for it, pay the deposit, go to the course. That is the first step.

The instructions were so specific, I admit, I was weirded out, but I grabbed my phone, checked the website and lo-and-behold there was this Course three weeks to the day - ThetaHealing Basic Level. I signed up, paid the deposit and that was that. After, I called the Energy back again and asked what I would be doing, knowing nothing about the course or the subject matter. It replied Energy Healing work - you will assist others in finding this unconditional love Energy and help them feel connected to their own Spirit within it. And this is only the beginning. Through this work you will learn much more and develop your own healing techniques and ideas to help others. I can’t really remember the rest, it’s a bit hazy but these points stuck out to me and have guided me since then.

I attended the course and it changed how I thought about Energy and the world we live in. I decided to work more on trusting my intuition and questioning my ego. To find my own blocks and fears and bring them to the light (there was a lot) to release and resolve and to make space to bring in more positive ideas and healing downloads. (This is what ThetaHealing is all about).

I decided to further my training and signed up and completed the Advanced ThetaHealing requirements. During that course, a classmate asked if ThetaHealing could help with her Reiki practice and the answer was a resounding Yes. I had never heard about Reiki before and I was intrigued. While connecting with this Unconditional love Energy through ThetaHealing, again I got a message that this was my next step, the next healing modality I needed to learn. I felt uncomfortable about it. I was so soon after ThetaHealing, I had only just learned this modality.

One thing I now recognize in myself is that intuition makes me feel uncomfortable and that I need to let go to listen and see.

So, I followed by intuition and signed up again for Reiki Training and fell in love with the modality. It’s peaceful and loving nature, it’s non-invasive technique (which made I immediately think of my friends in tension-related pain who don’t like massage therapy), and it’s ability to balance a persons inner energy and help them feel more whole. I devoted myself to learning and practicing, on myself, my family, my friends and reached Reiki Master Teacher level in less than one year.

I really love working with this Unconditional Loving Energy, and I am always excited to learn and grow in the future so I can give more back to the beings (humans, animals, plants and spaces) of this Earth home.

Now… that was long. If you stayed and read till the end, thank you! If you didn’t, that’s okay too. I’m still glad you are here and gave me a good try.
