Why energy healing?

You might be wondering what energy healing is and what it can do for you. Chances are, if you’ve found your way to my site, you’re at the very least, energetically curious. I fully understand skepticism when it comes to working with very subtle energies that have not been scientifically proven in double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. The thing we have to remember about science is that it is constantly evolving and growing with our understanding of the nature of everything. Conducting studies on the healing power of energy work has, so far, been something of a novelty. I would argue that this is almost certainly because there isn’t corporate support (funding) for the study of the benefits of energy healing. Person to person energetic healing can’t be manufactured for pennies and sold for billions. Healthcare today has become a commodity. If you haven’t yet experienced that first-hand, good for you, you are one of the lucky ones.

For many people who have fought long battles with chronic illnesses (often labeled with names like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, the list goes on and on) getting answers and relief can be nearly impossible. Usually, there is no cure. If you happen to be a woman, often you’re told that it’s all in your head. If someone does take you seriously, you are usually prescribed a pill. Or many. These may help for a time; they may make you sicker. After a time, you might start to feel like there has to be something more. Something that can actually improve your health. This is what drove me to seek out alternative healers. I have been to bodyworkers, acupuncturists and a variety of energy healers with different degrees of success.

Let me start by telling you a few things about my own struggles: I am a lifelong sugar junkie. I call it a sugar junkie because that’s exactly what it is. It is a fully irrational need to stuff my face with sugary things in an effort to boost my dopamine and feel better. It’s the same thing that people turn to drugs for. I cannot count the number of times that I tried to “quit” sugar. Sooooo many times. Along with this, I’ve been heavier than I should be for most of my adult life. Sometime in my 20’s (I think), I contracted Lyme disease, which went undiagnosed for many years. That turned into chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. I’ve also battled year-round allergies for as long as I can remember.

Fast forward past years spent on antibiotics in a quantity I didn’t even know was possible and the breakdown of my poor digestive system and so many other parts. I went to see a healer named Daisy. I didn’t really have any expectations. I found her on the internet, and I liked her name and website. In that first session, I cried for no reason that I could explain. She told me that my guides wanted me to stop eating dairy, soy, wheat (and most other grains), corn, sugar and probably a few other things that I’m forgetting right now. I thought, sure, no problem…not happening. But I left the appointment feeling this lightness. I was blissful for at least an hour afterwards. About a month later, I decided to stop eating all of that stuff. It just seemed like a good idea.

Over the course of the following year, I lost 48 pounds, at an age in which that sort of thing is unheard of. I also left a very toxic job and began studying energy healing in earnest. My allergies have improved to the point where I was able to abandon my daily nose spray and now only need it during heavy pollen season. I also was able to stop taking the daily Claritin. To say it has been life altering would be an understatement.

For me, energy work isn’t a silver bullet. It isn’t some kind of magic pill. It is a supportive system that gives me a framework for real and lasting positive change in my life. It helps to align me with my soul’s purpose. Sometimes I have work done and I feel very little. Sometimes it feels like so much is happening. What I can tell you is that working with subtle, unseen energies has changed my life in a way that diets and medicine was unable to even approach on their own.

I have seen it reduce depression and anxiety, aid in weight loss and healing from illness and reduce pain. For me, the proof is in the results. I use it as a complement to conventional therapies in my own life with great success. How you let it into your life and healing journey is totally up to you. I can say that I am healthier and happier than I have been in years because of the energy healing that I’ve received.
