The facts I’m talking about here apply specifically to the energy healing systems I use (Kinesiology and Reiki) but can sometimes apply to other healing systems, too. Here we go... 3 fascinating facts about energy healing, coming right up!
1. Energy Healing works over distance
My client don’t have to be in the same room for me to work on them. That’s right – it sounds weird (and I was actually very sceptical the first time I heard of it). We don’t even need to be in the same country or time zone! No matter how far apart we are, I can still connect to my client’s energy with their permission and do healing work on them. This is called distance healing or remote healing. (And of course, this same concept applies to tarot readings as well - I don't usually have face-to-face tarot clients.)
My reiki certification included distance healing training, which I later adapted to use with kinesiology. This continues to be a huge blessing for me and my clients. I used to work face-to-face but now I only work remotely, with clients around the world. I started offering remote healing sessions during the events of 2020 (when people really needed help like this), and it has allowed me to keep working with the regular clients I had before I moved country.
This means that even if you don’t have a healer/reader in your area, you might be able to find someone (like me) online who can help you from a distance, which is great. Not all healers work this way, so you do need to check.
It makes things very convenient because you don’t necessarily have to take time off work, travel, or even get dressed up. If the time zone difference works, I sometimes even do the session on my client while they’re sleeping so they can be fully relaxed. (We communicate before the session so that I have information to start with, and I follow up afterwards with the insights that come up during the work.)
2. I can do healing work on those who cannot speak or explain
This allows me to work on children, people who are too sick/tired to discuss their situation, and even on animals like pets. While I do need some information to be able to work on a client, in these cases I am in touch with their caregiver before and after the session.
The insight from a session can sometimes be very helpful to the parent as well. For example, I helped a client figure out that her very young daughter had developed a new fear of the dark after moving home.
I’ve worked on infants and toddlers, cats, people with chronic illnesses, even those who are terminally ill or in palliative care. I’ve even helped a long-term client who needed support during an emergency long-haul flight.
I speak more about a regular cat ‘client’ in this video (click here) and in my blog post about the shoulder chakra.
There are a few reasons some people may want to have energy healing even when they have a chronic or terminal illness. Sometimes it provides them with physical comfort (energy healing can be very relaxing, for example) which can manage their daily experience (like sleep or pain). Some people want to lighten their emotional/energetic load as much as possible for spiritual reasons, so they are not carrying unnecessary baggage into whatever realms are beyond this existence.
(To be clear, I am not a medical doctor, nor do my services replace medical services, diagnosis or treatment. These types of clients are receiving medical care as well.)
3. Clearing the past can clear the future
It’s no surprise that we sometimes feel emotionally triggered: for example, something negative happened to us once upon a time, and we may feel upset or stressed in similar situations going forward because the response to the original event is re-triggered. As an example, perhaps you felt a parent didn't show love in the way you needed, and now if you get ignored in a group or passed over for a promotion at work, similar feelings arise and are hard to manage.
In kinesiology healing, I use a technique called age recession when I find an emotional block. This technique looks for ALL the other times that same stressful emotional ‘frequency’ was also present so we can clear them all. This diminishes future retriggering. In some sessions, I find lots of old incidents; sometimes it’s just one or two big ones. This kind of clearing of old emotional residues often leads to a prolonged sense of wellbeing and lightness for the client afterwards.
Obviously, life will continue to happen, and we can expect some new blocks to occur now and then. The point is that we clear past and present blocks so that your future can be clear too. Why? - as in many aspects of life, your future is the result of your past and your present; a 'lagging measure' as James Clear words it.
If old energy blocks are left unattended they can accumulate and eventually manifest in some type of poor health (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually or energetically). Energy healing aims to keep our total load as light as possible so that we can move through life with ease.
