The Energy Medicine Healing Process

The energy medicine healing process reflects our life's path.  At every step, we have opportunities for growth and fulfillment.

BIRTH

We come into this lifetime as innocent beings straight from Source. In the birthing room we feel a palpable sense of the miraculous as parents fall in love with their child.  Within every newborn is their core essence -- pure, infinitely creative, an aspect of the Divine.

CORE WOUNDING

During childhood, our original spontaneity, playfulness and joy are often tamped down as parents and other authorities teach us to comply with the values of family and culture.  Like a plant, the little soul is pruned: do this, don't do that.   We may experience subtle invalidation or blatant abuse.  It may be passive or aggressive.  As this happens we begin to hold our energy in certain ways.  Like a dam in a running stream, blockages restrict the natural flow of  life force energies through your body.

Our birthrights -- associated with each of our energy centers -- are violated.  These rights are: to exist, feel, act, express, love and know.

COPING CONSCIOUSNESS

We learn ways of coping that are initially protective.  We suppress our spontaneous energy, defending against further pain.  Habitual defensive patterns originate at the energetic level but are eventually discerned in our  bodies and behavior. These strategies become problematic and further obfuscate our essence

As children we formulate beliefs about ourselves, others and the world that help us survive.  If I keep quiet, daddy won't notice me and start yelling.  If I behave, I won't be beaten.  If I get all A's, mommy will praise me.  While these strategies were useful once, they are often no longer workable.  We realize we have adopted mistaken conclusions about ourselves and life. To cope, we may develop anxiety or depression, addictions, or unhealthy co-dependence. Now, as adults, it's up to us to question our early conditioning and inherited beliefs.  We ask, "Is this true for me now?  For who I want to be?"

The Creator, Lover, Supporter, Challenger and Achiever are body types that reflect the energetic armor we adopted early on.  Each type has gifts and vulnerabilities.

THE MASK

We end up wearing a socially acceptable mask.  We are who we were taught to be in order to get the love and approval we needed.  The problem?  The mask is hiding our essence! 

 

THE SHADOW

Qualities that others deemed unacceptable, or that got us punished, are relegated to the shadow of the psyche.  They go unconscious and often compel our behavior.  Do you sometimes do things without understanding why? Maybe you have a self-sabotaging habit?  It may be your shadow emotions running the show despite your conscious intention not to do these things.  These lost parts long to be reclaimed and integrated so that we can feel whole again.  

How can we access these unconscious aspects of ourselves?  Look at those behaviors in others that trigger you.  Someone is too needy? Ugh!  So draining!  If you've put your own neediness in your shadow and present as 100% self-sufficient you may be invited to reclaim your right to have needs.  

RECOVERING AUTHENTICITY

If we don't do this work, we begin to feel restless, empty, dissatisfied.  A crisis (death, divorce, career loss) may arise that wakes us up and re-orders our priorities.  We long to recover our true self.  

PERSONAL GROWTH

So we embark on a healing journey.  For optimal functioning we require physical vitality, emotional balance, a sense of personal power,  compassion, creativity and ultimately an awakening to our True Selves.   Our energy centers are associated with these values and propel our personal growth. 

ADULT CONSCIOUSNESS

As we move into mature self-awareness, our defenses lose their grip on the psyche.  We take responsibility for our life.  We cease blaming others for our difficulties and begin to reclaim our essence.  We stop judging and find forgiveness. We revive our passions, commit to larger causes and move into the flow of co-creation with the Source of our understanding.

As you begin to identify with your True Self, it becomes important to cultivate witnessing consciousness.  For example, you may experience anxiety, but you realize it's not who you are; you are the one who watches your anxiety.  You may experience  depression but it's not who you are; you are the one who watches your depression.  With mindfulness, you gradually begin to identify with your inner compassionate observer, your higher-self consciousness.

THE SPIRAL JOURNEY

Often we feel we have dealt with an issue -- grief, loss, betrayal -- but we find that these arise again and again for deeper levels of healing.  An anniversary may trigger deeper reflection, ownership of your part in the dynamic, or forgiveness.  Over time, we look back and find how much we have grown, how far we have progressed since that circumstance set us back.

We were born in unity, life taught us separation, and healing brings us back into unity consciousness.  It's my honor to guide you on this spiral journey.

THE HEALING GOAL

I help you to awaken to your true divine nature, which is eternally present as your deepest essence.  Childhood conditioning, trauma and personal defenses obscure this aspect of ourselves.  The Energy Medicine Healing Process involves undoing all this, giving up self-sabotage and ultimately realizing yourself  as an embodied aspect of the Divine -- living your potential with poise, grace and ease.
