Learn Healing Touch

was the last class for Healing Touch. It was a wonderful night of healing. We talked about how much our lives may or may not have changed since beginning the course and how when one starts a new modality it can create shifts and changes. We’ve decided to offer a once a month healing circle to do healings for people in the community. It will be a great way to get ongoing practice. We were presented with certificates of completion and chose a card and a stone as reminders of this journey:) I chose amethyst and the card said “Let all things be exactly as they are.” I still lack some confidence, but I hope to continue to grow in this and learn to trust in my intuition.

Wednesday night’s Healing Touch class introduced the pendilum as a means of assessing the chakra’s flow of energy. We had done a pretty powerful meditation before we began so we were all pretty much balanced, but it was interesting to see how the pendilum interprets that flow of energy. In some it would make counter clockwise circles, in others it would go side to side etc. The instructor said not every pendilum will work for every person. I tried a couple there, but really had very little movement. There was one other person there that had the same results, so at least it wasn’t only me:( Guess, we’ll have to keep looking for our personal pendilum. I have something in my craft box that I think will be perfect…though it could be as simple as a needle hanging on thread.

Last night was another healing touch class. We were instructed to bring someone along so we could have a ‘client’ that wasn’t one of us students. So, I invited a co-worker (Rhonda) to attend. I did a session for her and while at first I felt I wasn’t getting much of a reading, it turned out to be pretty intense. I practiced giving energy by using an image she saw in her minds eye. By doing so, we both felt a lot of heat and we both got a charge from it:) As I placed my hands on her lower back, the energy felt like popcorn. Very cool and strange at the same time:)

Then I had a session with two people working on me. Our instructor was doing the ‘main’ rebalancing while the other woman put energy into my knees. It felt wonderful and I got some great feedback. Our instructor said the first time she’d done my assessment (when classes first started) that my energy was very close to my body. She said now it’s grown in size to about a foot away from my body and it’s like I’m filling in to ‘my real self’. She even used me as an example, so I felt good to receive that recognition.

Then I did one last session for the woman whom had put energy into my knees. She also has trouble with her knees, so I was able to return the favor. I wasnt picking up on a whole lot, but that seemed to be consistent and in the end, the process still seems to have worked.

I’ve been doing energy exercises at home at random intervals as well. I’ve been trying to see aura’s around people as I’m talking with them. I’ve even started looking for the aura around my cats. Yesterday I laid across the bed and did a visualization that my energy field was growing and permeating with white light. I’ll keep doing these exercises and continue to try to see and use colors. I think part of my obstacle is I have these ideas or expectations of what form it ‘should’ take…and my experience is often different. So, I need to let go of the expectations and accept what I’m sensing for what it is.

I love going to healing touch classes. I find especially on nights when I feel drained or tired, I leave class so full of bright energy. We had a small group last night, but it was perfect. We worked on each other in teams and shared our findings. One woman has been doing energy work for 25 years and I was so impressed with myself that I sensed the same energies that she did. What a great validation for me as I continue to struggle with my own self-doubt.

Our instructor is such a kind soul. I’m feeling very blessed to have been directed to this course and these wonderful people.

Last night we did a couple exercises in sensing energy. To illustrate why we need to be centered when doing a session, we were instructed to do an assessment while thinking about something else. The feedback we got was really amazing and we got to experience it as well. Very erratic and not calming at all. Also, we learned how to give someone energy by sending it in with a color. We practiced giving and receiving and talked about what color we saw/felt. I’m really enjoying exploring my energy and how I can use it for my own and others highest good. So very glad I’m taking this class! I can now do a full treatment (thought I still don’t know what the meaning is behind the things I sense or feel). But, I guess it really matters not what it all means as long as I have the tools to rebalance the persons energy. And how cool that I receive a benefit just from doing this work!

Wow, I’m really enjoying learning Theraputic Touch. We did some exercises to better understand energy fields and our own personal boundaries. We also did an exercise in seeing each others’ auras.

We gave and received assesments and learned how to clear/balance the energy. I had a strange sensation at one point where my torso heated up but my hands were cool…very different from the other assesments I’d performed. Still don’t know what it all means, but am excited that I’m learning how to trust what I’m sensing.

I started a Healing Touch class last night. It is an interesting technique and I am looking forward to learning more. The class will consist of 8 weeks…the first and third Wednesdays of the months from now until the first week in June. Not super intensive, but should be fun nonetheless. I love the small group environment and already made a connection. So, until March 1st…guess I’ll just have to practice centering and doing assessments.
