Energy Healing

Stored In Your Energy

The mind, body, and energy are all intertwined. Anything that affects one of these affects all of them. And those effects can be stored for years or decades, particularly for those who don’t receive treatment. Studies have shown that when someone experiences trauma, the brain is altered by defense mechanisms and the need to survive the trauma. These changes linger; someone who experienced trauma in childhood may live their entire life with a brain that…

A RiverEvolutions Healing Session

People have asked me what an energy healing session with me is like. I practice a form of energy healing called Chios. This modality includes techniques for repairing, clearing, and restoring the chakras and energy field. Sometimes this brings up incidents or impressions from the past that the client has buried or forgotten, and that can be intense. So I always let clients know up front that it’s possible for them to have this experience,…

Why I Learned Chios

Chios is a form of energy healing that includes specific techniques for balancing the chakras, clearing the energy field, and repairing energetic damage caused by past physical and emotional experiences. In 2005, I was in an abusive marriage and was beginning to uncover memories of traumatic experiences I’d had as a child. Trying to navigate these things while raising two children was difficult. I needed clarity. I needed help. I met and became close friends…

Everything Is Intertwined

The thing about energy, your mind, and your body is that they’re all interconnected. Anything that affects one affects all three. For example, let’s say you’re a child on the playground, and someone knocks you down. You skin your knee. You have a physical injury. But you also have an emotional injury. Someone knocked you down, and that hurt you. Maybe they did it on purpose, or you don’t know whether it was intentional or…

Energy and Balance

The basic idea of energy healing is to support physical, mental, and emotional healing through removing what I call the energetic “sludge” of your past experiences and clearing your energy field, clearing the system, so that healing and positivity can happen. Now, I don’t believe in “only positive energy.” That isn’t realistic or possible. But when your system is bogged down by negative energy, you get stuck in a place where your past is impacting…

Some Benefits of Chios Energy Healing

Since 2005, when I was first introduced to Chios Energy Healing, I’ve seen a lot of benefits from it, both as a recipient and as a practitioner. I’m not going to go into a lot of detail in this post, because I need to be mindful of the confidentiality of my past clients, but a few things that I can say: I’ve found that Chios has helped unlock memories of my past. While the memories…

Why I Chose Chios

In 2005, I was struggling. My marriage was toxic and at times abusive. I felt completely incompetent as a mother. I’d discovered I couldn’t fit into the box of public education, so my career as a special education teacher had come to an end. Most importantly, and most impactful, I’d begun recovering memories of abuse and trauma I’d experienced as a child. Those things had never fully been forgotten, but I’d stuffed them into a…

New Ideas Coming

Over the weekend, I had something like an epiphany about the way I conduct business and what role my truths and beliefs play. I’ve always had strong opinions and beliefs, but I’m not always good at expressing them. Sometimes it’s due to not having the words I need; other times, it’s out of fear of what other people might think. I turned 50 years old last week. It’s well past time to stop worrying about…

Some Info About Chios

People sometimes ask me what the differences are between Chios and other types of energy healing or energy work. That’s a difficult question for me to answer, because I haven’t learned other forms of energy work. I have had people give me Reiki, and have found Chios far more effective for me. (I felt nothing when Reiki was given.) From people who have had Chios sessions with me and other forms of energy healing from…

My Body’s Telling Me Something…

I posted this on my Facebook profile a few days ago, but wanted to share it here as well. Friday night, I realized that every time I turned over in bed, I felt like I was on a sped-up carnival ride. The room spun, my stomach churned, and it was scary as hell. Saturday morning, I got up…same thing, only worse. I could barely stay on my feet, had to hold onto the wall as…
