It is based on a heart-centered caring relationship in which the practitioner and client come together energetically to facilitate the client’s health and healing. It is appropriate for everyone and can take place in any setting, including hospitals, schools, hospices, homes and offices. If one area of your life is not in balance, then it affects the other areas. I can provide support and guidance into areas of your life that you would like to improve upon.

What about taking care of us? It’s not being selfish to make a conscious effort to take care of us. For, if we don’t recharge our batteries from time to time, how do we expect to recharge anyone else’s batteries?

We really have no idea how powerful we are. We tend to see ourselves as just this one person in an enormous world. We can make a difference. We can be the change that we want to see. But it starts with taking care of us.

When you feel that you need to recharge your batteries, what do you do? What are some solutions or things that you can incorporate into your life?

Do you feel that you don’t have time for exercise, meditation, Yoga, energy sessions, a massage, facial or a relaxing bath a walk in nature. One of the simplest things that you can do is to take deep breaths whenever you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Whenever you notice that your breathing becomes shallow or rapid, take a deep breath. As you breathe in, slow down each breath in and out. Feel your body relaxing as you mentally say to yourself, “I am more relaxed, and I feel peace and calm.” It only takes a few minutes and sometimes just a few seconds to feel refreshed as you take in a breath of fresh air and rejuvenate.

Our outlook on life, our emotions and thoughts play an important part in helping to recharge our batteries. People with positive attitudes tend to live longer, have better immune systems and are happier. Instead of looking at the problems or challenges in your life, look for the solutions. Looking for the solution gives the situation a positive spin instead of focusing on the negative and perpetuating more negativity.

Allow yourself to enjoy each day, each moment, for that period of time will be gone forever. Allow yourself to play and not to take yourself or anyone else too seriously. Realize that you cannot change anyone but yourself. But, you can change how you react to someone else that pushes your buttons. Then sit back and notice how that makes a difference. There may be situations in which you have no control over what happens and realize that you cannot affect the outcome no matter what you do. Recognize that life is not stagnant and is subject to change in every moment, creating challenges along the way. With change, comes transformation and progress.

Take time to recharge your batteries…you deserve it!

These techniques help to remove congested or blocked energy in the body. When the energy is not flowing because of unresolved physical or emotional, mental or spiritual reasons, this causes stagnant energy flow.

Research has shown that there is an energy field around all matter. Think about the times that you enter a room and can tell if there is any tension in the room. Also, do you notice when someone walks into a room and you “sense their presence” before you actually see them? What you are experiencing is their energy field.

Energy based techniques work with the energy fields,helping to balance the body on all levels-physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. These therapies address the whole person, not just the symptoms.

Energy healing helps your body to self heal by re-aligning the energy flow through out your body, helping your body to regulate itself.

Your body is always trying to get back to a balanced state, but sometimes we get in the way.

Pain is one way to get our attention. Start listening to your body signals.

You are what you say, think and feel. Are there ideas or attitudes that you have that have made a difference in your life? Can you pinpoint what they are? What you say and think may affect you more than you realize. We create our reality with our words and thoughts…

Throughout our lifetime, our body has kept a perfect copy of our every word, thought, and emotion. These have been stored as cellular memory. As a result, we have become what we say, think, and feel. Whenever we have negative thoughts or feelings, these become lodged in our subconscious mind/body.

As a result, this becomes a challenge to change or eliminate, as we may not be aware that they are there. Over time these memories develop into blockages of energy. Blocked energy, disharmonious or congested energy is usually connected with emotional trauma, illness, disease or injury.

We create what we focus on. How often during the day are you focused on what you REALLY WANT? Is it even 10% of the time? This is important, as we are always creating more of whatever we are focused on. This can be hard as we discuss problems in our lives; we actually BRING MORE of it into our lives.

Have you ever said to yourself:
As soon as I finish this, I am going to crash and burn?
This is a pain in the neck
This job is killing me
No pain, no gain
I never have any money
I will never get good grades
I am breaking my back to do this

Do you realize no matter what you say, you are giving your subconscious a message? These messages are all negative and the body is going to carry out your instructions. So when you say these things repeatedly, the body gets the idea that the back should be broken, you should have a pain in your neck, etc.

It will ensure that you never have any money and never get good grades. Is this what you really want? If not, stop saying these things, even if you are only joking.

A study was done which had participants concentrate on appreciation and love for 5 minutes. The results showed that this helped a component of the immune system for 1-6 hours. Conversely, being angry for 5 minutes caused heart irregularities for several hours.

You can change the limitations imposed upon you by negative programming and a restrictive belief system. A negative mental state is a breeding ground for disease.

Thoughts are real. Words send out a very powerful message-much more powerful that is usually understood. We continually send out messages to those around us and to ourselves-to our conscious and unconscious mind. When negative thoughts disturb you, you must use words to change their negative effect. Neutralize it with a positive imagery. Think of something positive to take its place.

In order to create what you want in your life, it is important to be consciously aware of what you are feeling and thinking all of the time. It is a challenge to become aware of our emotions and how they affect us, but it can also be very rewarding beyond what we can imagine.

The mental body must be healed as well as the physical body to regain harmony and be freed from disease. The effect of negative thought patterns can be reversed and the negative programming itself can be replaced with positive programming, which will nourish you and provide the structure for good health and happiness.

Once you transcend negativity, you will come back into balance and the healing energy will flow. You are far more than you think. Whatever your limitations, they are self-imposed. There is extraordinary potential and healing power in all of us that lies dormant within us.

One way to regulate our thoughts is through meditation. Meditation is the discipline of Thought Control. Control your thoughts and you will control your life. Its that simple. God gave us free will. Therefore, we can choose to crate a satisfying life or we can choose to create a dissatisfying life. The choice is always our own.

When we use the term I AM, such as I AM willing, we are surrendering the fears and limited thoughts to be transformed. When we are willing to change our attitudes, we enter a state of surrender. In the state of surrender, all things are possible. This then is the state in which miracles can occur.

Practice gratitude whenever you are feeling overwhelmed. As bad as things can get, there is always something to be grateful for: a beautiful day, a rainbow, wonderful people in our lives.

Energy work, such as Healing Touch, Reiki, Integrated Energy Therapy, or breath work deals directly with the unconscious parts of the mind/body that contain negative energy inhibiting thoughts and feelings and helps to eliminate them. In particular, Integrated Energy Therapy works with getting the issues out of the tissues.

After an energy session, a normal flow of energy helps to eliminate these suppressed memories with ease as the person is restored to a balanced state.

Its time to focus on what you really want. This is why whatever you resist, persists and you attract what you fear. When you resist or fear something, you are focused on it. So, its a lot more fun to be focused on what you really want.

Are you prepared for the future you are creating now? What have your thoughts been lately?

What better place then in the natural setting of your own backyard, which can provide the beauty and tranquility to soothe your soul.

Throughout history, gardens have been useful in the healing process. Hospitals and medical care facilities are realizing the importance of a patient’s surroundings and the healing effect that it has with how fast a patient recovers.

As natural therapies are beginning to emerge in the health care industry, we are seeing a resurgence of using nature to heal.
The possibilities are endless in how you can create your own healing garden which allows you to feel the serenity that your soul desires.

You can tailor this special space to your own needs with splashes of color and accents that allow for a meditative garden or Zen garden, a butterfly garden or an herb garden.

To enjoy the symphony of sounds from our fine feathered friends, use plantings, bird baths and feeders to attract wild birds to your backyard. Nectar and host plants are needed to attract butterflies to your garden.

Experiment with day lilies, lantana or hibiscus plants. Hang wind chimes to enjoy their gentle tones or add water elements or a winding brick path leading up to an inviting hammock. Whimsical planters or unique urns can be strategically placed as focal points.

Your healing garden can serve a double purpose as it provides beauty and the plants can be used to help heal the body on a physical level.

Some herbs can be used as culinary as well as medicinal, such as peppermint, rosemary, thyme, sage or parsley. Plants such as lavender are conducive to relaxation. Cool colors such as hues of blue, violets and shades of green provide healing.

Aromatic plants such as Angelica could be planted to engage more of the senses.

One way that these emotions may be released from the part of the brain that stores these memories is with energy-based therapies. Energy-based therapies use techniques that address all levels of the individual: mental, emotional, spiritual as well as physical and allow the person to heal on whatever level is needed.

What happens in our bodies and our brain when we perceive a threatening situation or we have been through a traumatic situation? Feelings of anger, rage, fear, avoidance and defensiveness are involved in the limbic brain or our emotional brain. There is a section of the limbic or emotional brain that inspires the freeze reaction, sweaty palms, and muscles to tense, protective postures or facial expressions. This area of the brain sends adrenaline and other hormones into the blood stream.

There are unconscious memory centers in our brains that store these traumatic events. When we experience sensations, images, smells, sights or anything that reminds us of the trauma, our body reacts as if being a present threat. The traumatic experience still exists in our brain and contains the emotional and conscious memory traces of the event. Our brains are unable to release this message of threat that it is receiving and shows up as symptoms of fear and anxiety.

Using energy-based techniques such as Healing Touch can help to release these stuck emotions and give the person a sense of peace and well-being. Practitioners act as facilitators in assisting the individual in their journey to self heal. For more information about this form of trauma release or other forms of energy-based therapies,

IET can be used as a stand-alone energy therapy or it can be integrated into sessions based on other holistic modalities. During an IET session, physical and emotional energy blockages are helped to clear from cellular memory that we hold in our bodies, thus “getting the issues out of the tissues”.  Energy blocks are created when we suppress our emotions, which can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual disorders or illnesses.

By working at the next level, IET sessions can go beyond Reiki to detect and release energy blocks that are formed by these emotions that are suppressed.  In a safe, gentle and nurturing way, these emotions from the past that create imprints in our bodies can be released with ease.  By doing this, you are empowered to balance your health and your life.  These energy blockages are replaced with positive physical and emotional energy.

Benefits of IET

•            Promotes the self-healing process through the release of suppressed

emotions

•           Helps you to return to a state of harmony in your life and health

•           Core cellular memories that are held in our bodies are released with ease

•           Helps to clear energy blocks that limit the fulfillment of our life’s purpose

•            Supports the healing process on all levels: physical, emotional,

Spiritual and mental
