I Just Had Energy Healing. Now What?

I JUST HAD ENERGY HEALING. NOW WHAT? nnWhat to expect after a session.nnFollowing a session of Energy Healing such as Therapeutic Touch, Reiki, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), or BEAM (Bio-energetic Emotional Access Method), you may notice improvement in many different ways: nn· A deep sense of peace and relaxation.n· Complete elimination or alleviation of pain.n· Feeling calm and confident.n· Feeling more connected to everything. n· Deeper, more rejuvenating sleep.n· Better overall bodily functions.n· Emotional buttons are not easily triggered.n· Pet peeves aren’t so peevish. n· Clearer thinking, ability to make wise decisions.n· Less need for chemical assistance (food, drugs, alcohol, tobacco).n· Others respond to you with more respect and sincerity. n· A desire to take better care of yourself and others.n· Many aspects of your life just fall into place, effortlessly. nnThat’s a lot of good news, isn’t it? You may feel some of those benefits, or all of them. Refer to this list often and note any changes in yourself. Some people see changes immediately after their session, while others need up to five days to notice changes. nnEveryone’s system processes at a different rate. If you feel tired after your session, it’s because you are processing deeply and rapidly. Be good to yourself – go home and rest. Eat a light, healthy meal and have extra water to help the healing process. Do deep breathing exercises. Just trust that your body will take the energy it needs and use it in the most beneficial way for you. nnI don’t feel any different. Does that mean it didn’t work?nnNo, it doesn’t. There is always a result, however subtle, with energy work. nHere’s a reason to consider about your lack of apparent progress: You need more sessions. Think of yourself and your energy field as a very, very dry potted plant. If you’ve ever neglected a plant to the degree that the soil was light as air, you know that when you tried to water the plant, almost all the water ran right through the soil. The soil remained almost completely dry. You had to water it again and again, each subsequent time the soil retaining a little bit more moisture, until the soil was plump and hydrated. nnSo it is with a depleted energy field. The first time, there are so many “holes” in your field that the energy seems to run right through, so you think nothing happened. By the second, third or fourth time, you are retaining the energy in a way you can feel. After that, the practitioner has something to work with, and deeper healing work can proceed. But it’s not to say that “it didn’t work” the first couple of times. It was just so subtle that it took some time for your field to retain enough “moisture.” Those were the preparatory sessions that got you to a place of being able to feel your progress – so YES, they did work. n nThe important point is, once your energy field has been worked on, it is altered whether you feel it or not. With continued sessions, it’s impossible to not experience a positive change. Many years ago, I had energy work done five times before I could actually feel a difference. So why did I keep going after the first time? On a deep level, I knew something was shifting inside me. I couldn’t explain it, but I knew it was good for me. I’m so glad I kept going!nnSometimes we don’t think the healing was effective, but friends and family who know our idiosyncratic details will see a dramatic difference. We are often blind to our own defects. If you’ve had several sessions and you believe nothing happened for you, ask people who know you well if they have noticed a difference in you. Almost always, you will get surprising feedback - usually on something you didn’t know others considered an issue with you. For example, a big change can be that you are no longer controlling. If you didn’t know you were irritating others with your behaviour, you wouldn’t have noticed that change in yourself. Or maybe your impulse purchases have been reduced and you just hadn’t noticed. Perhaps you’ve stopped interrupting others, or you’re easier to get along with. Maybe you haven’t yelled or panicked for a few days. Have you noticed strangers smiling at you? What happened to all that chocolate you used to eat?nnIt is always exciting to see changes in yourself. Sometimes they bring on feelings of regret, as in “I wasted all that time…if only I’d had these sessions earlier…” Don’t dwell on this. Instead, congratulate yourself for the positive results you are now enjoying, and be optimistic for your future. Be grateful, too – this is the biggest instigator of more goodness coming your way. nnTrust your inner knowing. You will always have a sense of what is best for you. Don’t give your power away to anyone. Ignore the critics. Listen to your deepest wisdom. You may feel you need sessions every few days when you’re in crisis, or every few weeks when things are under control. You’ll sense when your schedule of treatment needs to change. nnFeel free to call or email me with your questions after a session.
