Hello, Empowered Truthers! Today I am writing from a space of personal experience and having witnessed many clients experience the positives of receiving energetic healings. With newfound awareness and doing the work to shift, change and implement the new learnings, you can become an empowered individual with some wonderful and new positive qualities that will benefit you and your life.
So, how do you feel after receiving an energetic healing?
The truth is that it varies greatly from person to person. This is due to the issues that arise and where you are on your journey at that point in time. You may experience feeling like burdens have been lifted, lighter, clearer, calmer, more focused and balanced. You may also experience many ‘aha’ moments, which bring awareness and understanding on so many levels. There may be some sessions where you feel tired, raw, and emotional. But I have found that this usually occurs more during the sessions rather than at the end. It is imperative to listen to your body and soul and give yourself 2-3 days (if possible), where you can just go with the flow and do what it is that you feel. Also resting and sleeping if needed, as this is all part of the healing, releasing, and integrating process.
You are all unique individuals with different needs, situations, issues, traumas, and learnings. Therefore, some of you may be happy with 1 or 2 healings, others may have a few. And there are those of you, like myself who may be on a lifelong journey with years of healing. The importance of healing is that once you receive and gain the insight and healing you feel you need, it is okay to sit with it and live your life while it integrates. Or you may go on to experience other modalities of healing and self-work that resonate with you. There is no right or wrong, just simply what feels right for you. At times there may be denial, avoidance, or resistance which is important to address as these may keep you away from receiving the healing you need. This may be discussed with your healing practitioner so that you can gain awareness of how to overcome these issues.
Now, let’s fast-track to a person who has received many healings over a number of years. I have found that this is where many have grown and evolved and really created a different life for themselves. There are immediate physical changes such as clearer eyes and skin tone, walking lighter and with a spring in their step, also radiating more positive and palpable energy. I have seen people transform in this way many times. From looking greyish in skin tone at the beginning of a healing session to looking healthier in their complexion, especially the brightness in their eyes and the smile on their face by the end of the session. It is utterly amazing!
The other noticeable changes are in your perspectives and how you handle situations and your relationship with yourself and others. You can recognize and take accountability and responsibility for yourself, your words, actions, and behaviours. You become a deeper thinker and more intuitively communicative with yourself and others, speaking more from an open-heart space and recognizing that this is where your truth and connection to all relationships and humanity lies.
As you grow and evolve, you become more connected and excited about your life. Your creativity opens or expands with new ideas and you begin to create those ideas and visions into your reality. You begin to experience and live them which further increases your energy and your personal power. It really is an exciting time! And as you change and create your own reality, one that aligns with your soul, you will encounter challenges. That is okay because you have the awareness that it is all part of your growth. The difference with handling those challenges now is that you have become more flexible and adaptable to change. Therefore, responding completely differently to what you would have in the past.
You also learn to trust yourself which allows you to accept and surrender more to the process of life’s challenges instead of resisting them. As your relationship and intuition with yourself grows, you are able to create firm boundaries because you learn to love, value and respect yourself and your time. These are some of the awesome gains of healings. Yes, it takes work, but you are worth it.
On a personal level, I can honestly say that healings have been, and still are, a fundamental part of my spiritual journey. My healer recently told me that I have been receiving healings for over a decade! As a Medium and Healer, I receive healings to help maintain clear energy and keep myself on track and in alignment in my personal and professional life. It is my way of honouring and nurturing myself, and my responsibility to walk my talk and be the best I can be energetically. Not only for me but also my clients. Call it a ‘service’ if you will. I service my car, why on earth would I not service myself!!
There are so many emotional, mental, behavioural, energetic, spiritual, and physical life-changing benefits that come from healings, and this is one part of the equation. The other is You. You are the one who needs to show up, be objective, real, raw, and honest with yourself. Taking the action necessary to move forward with the wisdom of all you have learned. This all leads to you becoming the Empowered Creator of your life, who leads with love, kindness, and compassion in your heart.
