What is Shamanic Energy Healing?
Shamanic energy work is a form of energy medicine that focuses on restoring, harmonising and balancing our Spirit and Soul. It is understanding that there is a spiritual element to illness and disease caused by inner conflicts and imbalance, where the problem is usually rooted in a person’s soul.
Illness and dis-ease exist in the non-physical first, in energy form and over time if not acknowledged, treated and rebalanced can manifest as illness or pain in the physical body. When we give our attention and care to our soul, this can alleviate our mental, emotional or physical issues and give us an overall sense of well-being.
How does my therapist work?
I allow spirit to use my body as a channel for healing energies, ultimately, acting as a bridge from the non-physical to the physical realm, my hands are then guided (like a magnetic force) to areas on your physical body/energy bodies which require the work. This is a sacred connection based on mutual trust and respect allowing me to channel powerful healing energies directly to my client.
Although I use the word ‘spirit’, different energies work through me (angelic, ascended masters, spirit guides or spirit animals to name a few), depending on what you need. I always have the intention to work only with benevolent energies, and the work is always for your highest good.
Is Shamanic Energy Healing for you?
You may be drawn to this type of healing if you feel anxious, stressed, depressed, or are struggling with illness or dis-ease. You may feel something is missing from your life, you lack enjoyment and pleasure, you feel stuck, blocked, unable to move forward, you don’t feel yourself, you may be experiencing emotions more intensely and/or a shift in your usual mental state without any logical explanation, you may resonate with, ‘lost' or ‘broken soul’ feeling you have lost touch with your Soul. At some point in your life, usually in childhood as a result of pain / trauma, you disconnected from parts of yourself, these Soul parts get pushed down in your subconscious and this work helps to release these parts and rekindle your Soul connection, purpose and vitality.
How can I best prepare for the session?
Before your first session, It is normal to feel a little apprehensive, usually in relation to fear of the unknown and what you might experience. However, please try to relax, ask any questions before the session starts so that your mind is eased and be as open as possible to whatever you experience, trusting this is for your highest good and is unique to you. Ensure you are well hydrated as this helps the energy flow more easily. Wear comfortable clothing and ensure your phone is off / on silent before you arrive. Try to avoid a busy day on the day of your session and ensure you have as much quiet time as possible following the session.
What will happen before the session?
Before the healing begins you will be invited to choose an oracle card from a deck that I have intuitively selected which contains the message that is most helpful to you at this point on your journey. I will then explain how I work and what you may experience. You will then lie down on a therapy couch, with cosy blankets, allowing all your worries to float away before sinking into a complete state of relaxation and restoration, where this divine energy healing can work its magic!
What will I experience during Energy Healing?
You may experience sensations in/outside the body, such as, tingling, itchiness, pulsating, swirling energy, stomach rumbling, heaviness/lightness, pressure, hot/cold, see images/visualisations, symbols, lights or feel emotions surfacing to be released. You may experience releasing and clearing energy through crying, voice, laughing & body movement (shaking, twitching, coughing, sneezing, yawning). You may not experience any of these things and that is ok, you do not need to experience anything to benefit from this work.
What if I fall asleep during the session?
It does not matter if you fall asleep during the session as the work will continue whether you are awake or not.
What will happen after the session?
After the session, you will be given time to bring yourself round slowly from this deep state, we will discuss your experience, and I will pass on any intuitive guidance / messages received or sensed from the energy work and what was needed to help you on your healing journey. You will also receive a written summary (via email) of your session, and any guidance received.
How will I feel after Energy Healing?
Each person is different, you may feel calm and relaxed, tired or more energised, it depends what work was done and what you needed. When you leave the session, you may experience emotion coming to the surface to be released, please allow any releases without suppressing them, to get the most out of your healing session it is important the emotional energy flows through you.
What aftercare is recommended after an Energy Healing session?
Try to have as much time as possible to relax after the session. Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 24 hours after a session. Drink plenty of water / herbal infusions. Eating a light diet of fresh and natural foods is also helpful as the body concentrates its efforts on detoxification and natural healing. Avoid using phones/tablets particularly for the one hour before bed as this stimulates instead of calms the brain for sleep. Practicing self-care by taking an Epsom salt bath, having quiet time, journaling, listening to music, meditating or spending time in nature will help the natural healing process. It is advisable to start your own energy clearing and protection techniques and/or rituals to assist your energy healing process.
How important is Energy Healing?
As everything is made up of energy, it is really important! Regularly clearing out, cleansing and healing our physical and energetic body is as essential as the regular cleaning of our homes. None of us like to live in dirty homes hence why it is equally important to regularly clear the energetic debris we accumulate every day from situations/interactions with others and what we are carrying from our past experiences and traumas. Naturally, clearing this energy makes you feel better, creating more flow, balance and vitality within yourself and your life.
How often do I need Energy Healing?
As a guide, anything between 2 – 12 weeks and/or as frequently as you need it, (you will probably sense when you need it!).
Each person is different, and some will need it more often than others. Initially people may come more often, (particularly if you have high anxiety/tension, feel depressed, struggling with illness or pain) and then reduce the frequency over time as you clear the issues yourself and are more in balance. If you are a holistic therapist, counsellor, healthcare worker, a more sensitive / empathetic person you may feel you need it more regularly.
Does Energy Healing actually heal me?
Like any other holistic and complementary therapies, it works as a tool to help facilitate your own healing process, some issues may be cleared without you needing to do any work and others will require you to learn the lesson that the imbalance is communicating to you. You may need to consciously take action to change something in yourself / your life. For example, if during the energy work blockages are cleared in certain areas and negative energy has been shifted, if the root cause of the blockage and accumulation of negative energy isn’t changed/cleared within the individual, e.g. through their beliefs, thoughts or patterns of behaviour, the issue will return and persist.
Energy Healing is not a substitute for medical treatment. This service does not diagnose/treat conditions and nothing said verbally / written by my therapist takes the place of a licensed medical professional.
