As a practitioner, I am an expert in some things. I’m an expert in Chios Energy Healing, the modality I practice. I’ve continued my studies in it and hold two certifications in it. I’m an expert in channeling, at least the channeling I do. I don’t know if I’d call myself an expert in the effects of trauma and trauma recovery, but I’ve studied quite a bit about them and know a good amount. But…
In last week’s post, I discussed some changes and additions I’m planning for RiverEvolutions over the coming year. But why do I feel the need to change things? There are several reasons. First, and maybe logically given the type of business I’m in, I operate partly by intuition. What feels right for me? What do I feel most called to do? If services I’m offering no longer resonate for me, I’m not bringing myself or…
As a business owner, periodically I revisit what I offer and compare it with what I’m feeling called to do. Sometimes they still match. Sometimes, I need to make some changes. For almost five years, I have been offering energy healing sessions. Until last year, I was also offering energy healing instruction, which I suspended when I recognized some flaws in how I was providing the instruction and in how I chose which students to…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
Happy New Year! 2020 has definitely been one heck of a ride. At this time last year, I sat here making plans for expanding RiverEvolutions, for services and workshops I wanted to offer and for how to bring more visibility to what I do. And then there was a pandemic. Instead of being a year of attracting more clients, 2020 was a year of attracting fewer. But it was also a year of taking better…
Several weeks ago, I blogged here about some things I intended to study. I also said that periodically, I would share a bit about what I’ve been studying. So that’s what I chose to do for this week’s post. I’m progressing in my courses through the University of Metaphysical Sciences. My ultimate goal is to earn a Doctorate through them, most likely in spiritual counseling. For now, I’m working through their Bachelor’s program. I have…
