I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to communicate the essence of this practice. I decided to concentrate on the immense joy and wonder this work has brought me. I wanted to infuse my practice with curiosity, especially as I continue to learn more and more all the time. And what better way to represent that than magic? Magic encompasses so many possibilities. It brings the unseen energy to life and cultivates amazement. This is a perfect embodiment of my first energy healing experience.

I had been going to therapy for years. Healing the wounds gathered during childhood and years of self-destructive behavior. I had always been interested in supernatural topics, but I never took it very seriously and I definitely didn’t believe in energy healing. When my therapist told me I was healthy and really didn’t need therapy anymore I didn’t believe her. I scheduled an appointment with another therapist, and… she said the same thing.

But something was wrong. I still didn’t feel quite “right,” whatever that was. Then I heard a story that changed my life. What was said resonated so strongly I had a deep sense of knowing that it was true. Not thinking, not believing, knowing. I decided to give energy healing a try and boy was I blown away!

I had a huge release. I could feel the practitioner pulling something out of me. Something dense, heavy, and deeply buried. I felt her activate a whole side of myself I didn’t even know was there. She infused me with a golden light and I felt it move through my body, instilling a sense of deep calm, love, and compassion that I had never felt before. In that moment, I knew this was what I was meant to do and quickly signed up for my first energy healing course.

Healing can feel heavy. It can feel scary. And it can feel never-ending. But it doesn’t have to feel that way. I used to be terrified of looking at my shadows, expressing emotion, and taking responsibility for my journey. I thought I would get stuck in the emotion if I let any of it escape. This was a legitimate fear because I had gotten trapped in dense emotions before. Sometimes days, sometimes weeks, sometimes months. I can see now that I just didn’t know how to fully release those emotions at the time. I was subconsciously, energetically, holding on to them for dear life – as if letting them go would cause me to plummet into tormented darkness and fear.

Now, I see healing as a beautiful opportunity to learn, to grow, and to experience the fullness of life. I no longer get trapped in negative emotions or dense energy. I’m able to easily shift my mindset when I find myself spiraling toward negativity and I almost always jump at the opportunity to look at any shadow ready to be seen. I wanted my practice to reflect this energy. The energy that we don’t have to dread the tough stuff, we can choose to look at it through a different lens – a magical lens – and have fun with it!

We are all living, magical beings. We all have access to energy and intuition. We all hold the ability to heal our minds and our bodies. Some choose to see it, some don’t, and it’s all perfect. Are you ready to step into the magical world of healing?
