House & Business Clearings:
Many
times I am asked if house clearing is house cleaning. It is in a sense:
the clearing of energies that are in our homes that are not there for
our highest purpose. Energies that make us feel uncomfortable and not
welcome.
This
is what I have found in homes as they were being cleared:
Imprints caused by:
Emotions of tenants or past tenants:
fear, anger, sadness, anxiety, sorrow
Certain rooms or areas:
when a person lives in fear ex: being abused in a certain
room, or confrontations in a living room: these rooms need extra
clearing and more work.
Entities or spirits:
Energies:
entities or spirits that are stuck here on the earth: some very
obnoxious ones, some that are scared to go to the light (taught beliefs
of behavior and acceptance by God), and energies that are hanging around
and clinging to the others.
Many
times when we live in the homes with low energies, we come to believe
that what we feel is normal and it can not be changed. Whenever the
energy is low in my home or that if I can feel entities or spirits that
are here and not for my highest good, I do a clearing Because of being
sensitive, it is easier to pick up on the changes.
When
ever we move into a new home or old home, or even a business building,
the building should be fully cleared with a smudge before moving in. In
one home, I could feel the energy of a contractor in the utility room,
and yes we can be affected by that low energy. Many times it may take
an outsider to come in and do the cleaning, as some of the energies seem
to become too attached to the occupants of the building.
As I
go along with the clearings, there is always something new to learn and
experience. The building is cleared from the bottom to the top, and not
one room or closet is missed. What I enjoy is the after effect and the
knowing that all the energy in the home is on a much higher vibration
and calmer.
Effects of not having a house cleared or smudged before moving in:
Increased fighting among family members, increased anger, sadness,
unwillingness to go into certain rooms, objects being moved or broken
and not by family members. Children and animals get scared and
unwilling to be let alone.

Cranio Sacral Therapy was developed by John Upledger, based in the
United States. He discovered a gentle form of healing, working with the
pulse of the Cranio System to release blocks that have occurred from
physical and emotional stress and trauma.
Experiencing Cranio Sacral Therapy explained with a Medical View:
Cranial
sacral therapy is administered through monitoring the rhythm of the
cerebrospinal fluid's flow through the system. Cranial sacral therapy
practitioners work to balance the life force energy within the body.
Because the movable skull, sacrum and coccyx are attached to membranes
encompassing the cerebrospinal fluid, experienced clinicians can detect
any motion. Light, hands-on touch assists hydraulic forces (natural to
the cranial sacral system) to improve the body's internal atmosphere;
thus, strengthening its ability to heal itself. The brain sends messages
down the spinal column to the sacrum and to the tip of the coccyx.
Signals are then rerouted to all parts of the body through nerves
departing the spinal column.
By
freeing tension from the spinal cord, the cerebral spinal flows more
freely. Cranial sacral therapy optimizes rhythm of the spinal fluid and
influences the whole body. It is relaxing, safe and effective; and
cranial sacral therapy may heal or alleviate numerous conditions
including migraines, chronic fatigue, motor coordination impairments,
stress and tension, TMJ, and orthopedic problems.
Experiencing Cranio Sacral Therapy explained by the client:
client
1:
After several years of migraines a 38 yr old female
started Cranio Sacral Therapy treatments, after a couple of treatments
the migraines ending along with the understanding of how they started in
the first place.
client 2:
A young boy in the States, near the Upledger Centre,
was suffering from constant migraines, after the first session, the
migraines decreased substantially and stopped after a couple more. His
Dural fluid in the spinal chord was not flowing properly and the cranio
rhythm was off.
client 3:
A young adult was wearing braces to straighten her
teeth and jaw line. After some of the adjustments, she would receive a
session of Cranio Sacral Therapy, and after the last one, she went once
again. The are documented studies on how wearing teeth braces have
caused the spine to twist and create back problems. Cranio Sacral
Therapy allows the body to adjust in a safe manner along with allowing
the braces to do their job.
client 4:
This client had been experiencing many years of fears
and discomfort in the legs. Twitching in the legs at night, so bad that
she had a hard time getting to sleep. A couple of sessions ending the
twitching along with releasing the originating fears.
Our bodies retain the memories of how our structure was created, we are
able to release the traumas and or adjustments that occur during
injuries and such. With CranioSacral Therapy, we can do this with a
light touch and allow the body to readjust without a lot of discomfort.

About
twelve years ago, the thought of using crystals and crystal bowls for
healing was just weird. After a few years of seeing what these
amazing healing objects can do, my tune changed in a huge way.
Every thing on this planet has a vibrational energy: plants,
food, wood, cement, water, and more. Each vibrates at a different
level. Many elements have healing properties, whether ingested,
inhaled, or carried.
Crystals and minerals have their own vibrational energy that
can connect with our own energy to provide the healing that our bodies
require. Each crystal has its own healing energies and can at times
target specific issues or discomforts. Some of us don’t seem to feel
anything with the crystals, yet as our belief grows and intuition grows
stronger, you will feel a lot more with each crystal. There are some
crystals and crystal bowls who’s vibrational energy can be too strong
for us and we are not ready to work with them. Yet others we are
attracted to and feel really good with.
A huge benefit of working with crystals and crystal bowls is
that we can clean and clear them of old energies and reuse them over and
over again. Carry them, transport them over long distances, and used
them for animals to humans of all ages. Crystals can help to raise your
own vibration level to help you overcome low energy states such as
depression and worry.
A friend, Natalie introduced me to crystal bowls and their
healing properties. While working with one I could feel the vibration
go right along me spine and through my whole body. Could also felt the
vibration from the bowl, holding my hand about an inch or two away,
along with feeling the electrical like energy it produced. I was
hooked. Her CD with the crystal bowls (and other instruments
incorporated) provides a different healing session each time. Another
friend, Jeff, introduced me to the crystal skulls. The energy from one
of the skulls left me on cloud nine for that afternoon. I provide
crystal healing classes, and to hear and see what the participants are
picking up from the crystals is amazing.
During a presentation on crystal healing, one lady was quit
curious about the crystals and wanted to hear more. I passed around a
few of them, one being the amethyst. After relating a story on how I
started to feel the energy shifts while working with the amethyst, she
tried the same thing. Towards the end of the presentation, she shared
with us how the crystal helped to get rid of a really sore discomfort in
her shoulder that she was on medication for. The medication never
worked as well as the crystal did at that time.
A pink quartz wand provided by our friend Jennifer, helped
my granddaughter to sleep better at night. She did not toss and turn
all night and was better rested in the morning. Magnetic jewelry can
help to dispel discomforts in many ways, from arthritis to sore backs.
Amber is excellent in a necklace for little ones that are teething.
Flourite and Kyanite both can help to clear all your chakras.
Uses for crystals: Jewelary, ornamental, for healing wands, to hold
on to, energy grids and even to place under your pillow at night. Take
the time to look at the rocks, minerals and crystals in the stores. See
how you feel when you hold them. Good, yucky, calming, healing or
excited? Enjoy one of earths amazing treasures.
Past Life Regression
Past life regression has been found to be a very effective way to unlock
many of the phobias that we hang on to. I started to read a book
called: Many Lives - Many Masters by: Brian L Weiss. A psychologist had
a patient referred to him, after many sessions by other doctors that
could not unveil what was troubling a young lady - who was scared to
leave her home, along with many other problems that made her life
extremely troublesome. This psychologist was guided to do hypnotherapy
and past life regression. It was not long before they both saw the
results.
Past life regression is done under the control of the client, as the
client is fully awake, yet extremely relaxed. The thoughts, visions,
feelings and understanding is very strong during a regression. When I
did mine, I saw little but had the knowing of what was going on. Was
able to vaguely picture a place that I was in many lives ago, and the
message I got was strong. Clients see vivid pictures of other places,
smells and feelings of being elsewhere, the era and many times of others
around.
Thought patterns can be revealed and the belief behind the patterns can
be released or undone. These changes can be done instantaneously, and
the emotions related to the old belief or thought, completely gone. We
can also find out that we are now safe, and do not have to relive a past
life, this life can be created to be more peaceful.
After my past life regression I understood why I hid my instincts and
felt uncomfortable sharing the information I received. A past belief
about having to protect myself. We are safe today to be natural
practitioners, artists, musicians and more and share universal truth
(which holds no ego or fear).
A past life regression helped to release one client from a repeated
feeling of anguish, after she saw what it was related to. Another saw
the pattern of space, being alone, yet very content. Another client
was brought to a time in this life time to see the release of the built
up anger that he was holding on to and realized the real source of the
emotional upheaval. Re-seeing the action can help us to let it go when
we realize that the thought of the person / place has no significance
any more, even though we are holding onto an old thought pattern of
feeling.
Hypnosis and Past Life Regression can help our mind to relax enough to
go back and see old images, times, places, people, smells, feelings,
happiness, fears, sorrow and more. We can hold onto the happy moments
and enjoy what it brought. We can release the patterns that bring our
life to a standstill, so that we can go forward with comfort.
We can learn to do instantaneous
pattern releases and move forward with ease. The feelings of the old
thoughts are totally gone and the feelings of starting new is strong and
exciting.
Our
feet are walked on every day, bare the weight of our bodies and get
stuff into shoes and other foot wear. In order to treat and pamper our
feet, foot reflexology is one of the most relaxing, energizing and
pampering forms of healing and relaxing. This is done by gentle
stimulation of different areas of the feet (also hands and ears) to
promote healing through the meridians that connect to the body’s organs
along with enhancing the elimination of toxins.
FOOT REFLEXOLOGY: is an ancient art practiced by early Egyptians.
Foot Reflexology is a science founded on the basis that areas of the
feet are comprised of zones and reflex areas that correspond to all
glands, organs, and bodily systems. Foot reflexology is a technique
whereby pressure is applied to these areas resulting in stress
reduction by using thumb, finger and hand methods. Using foot
reflexology promotes physiological improvements in the body. Foot
Reflexology restores natural balance and revitalization.
Reflexology will provide the following:
Improved circulation:
Our circulation is improved when the stress in our systems is released
and we are able to relax. The oxygen and nutrients in the blood is able
to flow more freely and increase the function of the cardiovascular
vessels.
Release of Toxins:
Since reflexology works with improving the health of the organs, it also
helps to release the toxins in the body and increase the flow of oxygen
and nutrients to the organs in distress. Sometimes when working on the
feet the practitioner and client can feel crystals in the feet being
broken up, which helps to release those toxins. It is recommended that
you do not drink alcohol within 24 hours of a reflexology treatment: the
client could get quit sick during the session (a disbelieving client is
now a believer).
Reduces stress and provides a deep relaxation:
Many times a client will fall asleep during a session, even the most
chatty person who has a hard time to relax. Over 7,000 nerves are
stimulated during a reflexology treatment, opening and clearing the
neural pathways. Each part of the body is worked with, reenergized and
feeling better after a good nights sleep. The energy is the body starts
to flow a lot freer and reaching area that have been restricted before
the treatment.
Healing with the clients has been seen in the following ways during
sessions:
1.
One client has MS and is able to move her one leg a lot more freely
after a session. This client has also felt more peaceful and an
increased flow of energy.
2.
One client had the feeling of walking on clouds after the session. Her
feet were her main form of transportation.
3.
Another clients bowels functioned more freely.
4. A
client who rarely stopped to do something for her self, chatted
constantly for the first little while then just fell right asleep, and
was totally refreshed afterwards.
Reading a section in “Feet First” by Laura Norman and Thomas Cowan,
reconfirmed exactly how I felt during reflexology treatments. Even
though I love practicing Reiki and other forms of healing, I find doing
a reflexology session the most relaxing of them all. I am able to sit
down and just get immersed into the treatment and smile as soon as the
client falls asleep.
Diagnosis with reflexology is forbidden, like many of the other
wholistic practices. If a practitioner feels that something may be
wrong, he / she can only recommend that the client get a check up from
their family doctor.
In summary:
Reflexology is an amazing form of healing physically, mentally and
spiritually. It can help to sooth the tired over worked feet and pamper
the one that walks on those wonderful feet.

REIKI
Rei (life) Ki (energy)
Reiki is a method of natural healing that was developed by Dr. Usui, who
started a clinic in Tokyo in 1921. DR. Usui provided treatments to
patients, he then started workshops and taught classes. Reiki is taught
around the world today.
How Reiki is applied : the hands of the Reiki practitioner is held on
top or above the body of the client. There is no pressure being applied
to the body to cause any pain or discomfort. This provides a transfer
of universal energy that sometimes feels like heat is being applied to
the area being worked on. This source of energy provides a very calming
sensation, that helps to relax your body and mind along with
strengthening our spiritual well being. The Reiki practitioner will be
guided by you and intuition to apply energy to different areas of the
body from the head to feet. Reiki can be applied to any living being or
animal. Sessions lasts up to one hour or longer.
REIKI
can provide:
Release of:
anxiety, stress, headaches, migraines, fears, anger, learning
disabilities and creative blocks.
Relaxation of:
muscle tension and skeletal stress.
Strengthening of:
self esteem, self worth, and self confidence.
Helps to lesson:
learning disabilities, and behavioral problems.
Reiki
is being used for people in hospitals, clinics, and in emergency
situations to promote the healing processes. When a patient is
terminally ill, Reiki is wonderful for decreasing the pain and releasing
the tension. Reiki promotes the healing process.
Some
of the reasons why clients have come for treatments:
Migraines:
This is one of the reasons that I got involved with energy healing.
Migraines can occur for several different reasons and be caused by
unseen events or circumstances. From receiving shots of demoral to
being migraine free today and not taking any headache medication was
enough conviction to learn more about natural healing and Reiki. We
have used Reiki several times for Migraines with the clients and very
successfully.
Toxins:
One of my clients came in to see if Reiki could help with her health
that she believed was being affected by the work place that she was at.
During the treatment, there was a huge toxin release, and we were also
provided with information on where to look for the toxins. The client
called back a couple of weeks later, and explained how she went back to
work and did find the two sources of toxins. This client is continuing
with her Reiki training and is building up her strength.
Depression and low self esteem:
This is felt by many of us, at one time or the other. A Reiki treatment
can provide a new sourse of energy and strength that I have seen in
clients several times. When a Reiki treatment is provided in a quiet
atmosphere and the practitioner has been trained to provide the gentle
healing during a treatment, a client receives a renewed sense of well
being from the Reiki that stimulants can not provide. Reiki helps to
release the original source of depression.
Personal inner development and just general health
maintenance:
Reiki has provided me with physical, emotional and spiritual growth and
strength. We can use Reiki to maintain our health and release any
stress.
Using Reiki with other forms of Training:
I have used Reiki during Reflexology treatments and Card Readings. Many
massage therapists are combining Reiki and Cranio Sacral Therapy with
their treatments.
Shamanic Healing
This article is being put together with the best of my knowledge and
understanding, and I will be so grateful for any feed back and
information to add.
Over the last few years there have been so many new healing techniques
created, put into practice. During this time, I have practiced some of
the techniques and used what feels comfortable in my practice, as many
practitioners do. The same goes with those in other areas of work,
whether we are an artist, musician and even being an office manager. To
experience what you feel comfortable with and to incorporate new ideas
to form a healing, art or music that your heart knows is true.
A year ago a book was brought to my attention again, and I read the book
within 2 – 3 days. Jacki Daniels of Calgary Alberta wrote a book “Heeding
the Call: A Personal Journey to the Sacred.”
This book is an amazing book and explained to me what Shamanic Healing
was about. It also helped to confirm my own path, but also to help heal
any misconceptions I had about something that I did not fully
understand.
Shamanic Healing is a practice of working with spirit and healing
energies in a sacred space to provide healing not only for one self but
for others. Shamanic Healing incorporates the practice of listening to
the spirit world: the ancient ones, the elders, the animal kingdom,
mother earth and her bounty of plants and herbs, the weather beings, the
stone people and so much more.
When a shamanic practitioner enters into a session for a client, they
are open to receiving messages and guidance from those that come in to
provide healing. A practitioner may be guided to call in the energies
of the crystals and herbs, or creator to bring in healing and balance
into the receivers life. Healing is provided in a space of compassion
and for the highest good of the receiver, such as with other practices.
Shamanic Healing has been with us since the beginning of time, found in
different cultures around the world. There are many different beliefs,
practices and forms of using energy, the spiritual world and ancient
knowledge.
In the end, the knowledge all leads to the same form of bringing in
healing to heal the body as a whole, physically, emotionally, mentally
and spiritually. To know we all are capable of healing our selves.
There are many who look for methods of healing that can be termed as
startling, yet very effective. At the same time, we can use methods
that are gentle, safer and very effective too.
Though I have not had any formal training as a Shamanic Healer, I am so
grateful that what I am learning is a form of this healing. When a
client enters the healing space, it is their higher selves that bring in
what is needed for them to go forward and to learn more about what they
need on their journey. I get to enjoy the experiences of working with
the clients higher self, the crystals, the animal kingdom, angels, those
who have crossed over, the herbs, the ancient ones, God, Creator and all
that is there for the client at the time. All we need to do is ask, and
we can learn what we need to heal. To be connected to the heavens and
earth, to feel the love and energies of all our helpers is a blessing
and such a gift.
