The innate wisdom of our bodies

Sue Heldenbrand CHTP — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 18:05:31 +0000

Did you ever think about your body having intelligence to heal itself? Our bodies have this innate wisdom to be whole and complete. So what is stopping us from always being in perfect health? We are constantly being exposed to interferences in our environment, which disrupts the flow of energy in our bodies, causing illness. It has been estimated that there are over 60,000 known causes or energy interrupters in our world today.

What are some of these causes? Unhealthy diets, food additives, pollution and toxins in our environment, electromagnetic interferences, cell phones, microwaves, stress, abuse, trauma, physical injury, emotional hurts, restrictive and exhaustive habits, limited belief systems, chemicals in our food, water and air supply, negative thoughts and unresolved emotional issues to name just a few things can cause a block or disturbance in our energy fields that surround our bodies.

Disharmony or energy blockages if left unresolved will later affect our performance whether mentally or physically and may result in some physical problem or illness. This can also occur with any negative associations we attach to an emotion or our thoughts and words.

There is also a collective negative energy that is basically caused by a single incident or series of things happening. For example, the Tsunami, earthquakes, hurricanes and other catastrophic events cause massive fear affecting a large population as well as affecting the entire world. The media keeps this fear instilled in us as we are constantly given fear based, negative reporting about events globally as well as locally.
.
Dr. Valerie Hunt’s research regarding the electromagnetic energy of the human energy field has shown what happens to our energy fields when we are exposed to things in our environment and how our thoughts affect us.

Being aware of the existence of an energy field around us allows us to heal and to change in order to become balanced and in harmony on all levels, mind, body and spirit. By taking this preventive approach, it is a means to intervene earlier and be aware of any disruptions in the flow of our energy.

Good health is not just an absence of disease. It is being in a state of wholeness, being balanced on all levels…mind, body and spirit. Our energy fields keep a record whether we are conscious of it or not of experiences in our day- to- day lives. Our bodies hold memories of things long ago forgotten by our minds. By becoming more aware of the mind, body connection we can become proactive and responsible for our health and healing. If we wish to grow, then we want to be around people who will push us into our greatness.

Balance in your body and mind and spirit as well as home environment and workplace is important. Is your work or home environment cluttered? Clutter causes you to feel sluggish, lethargic, stressed out and even depressed. De-clutter… move, clean, throw away or give away what you don’t love. Put on music that stirs your soul, open up your windows and let the fresh air circulate. Doing something simple can change the energetic environment of your living space as well as your body and mind. There are many musical compositions that actually harmonize the flow of energy.

Our behaviors show us what is going on with our bodies as well as how we feel physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Pain is our body’s way of getting our attention. Take a look at your posture…how are you carrying your body? Notice how you are walking…do you have joy in your step or does it seem to be a major effort to move. Notice your breath…do you take in deep breathes or is your breath shallow and short?

Energy based modalities help restore your body, mind and spirit to wholeness. All ages and states of health may benefit. It is also a preventive measure to insure that your body stays balances and aligned in order for you to cope with whatever life has in store for you.

Reiki is spiritually guided life force energy

Sue Heldenbrand CHTP — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 01:12:32 +0000

Reiki (ray-key) is a natural healing technique that makes use of the laying on of hands. It originated in part with Ling Chi of the Chinese Taoists over 5000 years ago. Reiki was re-discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Christian minister in the 1800’s. During his 10-year quest he studied the teachings of Christ, and the sacred literature of Japan, China, India and Tibet.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words. Rei and ki. Rei means supernatural force of spiritual intelligence and Ki means life energy. Thus Reiki is spiritually guided life force energy.

Treatments can be done in person or remotely. It may aid in helping illnesses, injuries and diseases. Reiki is very versatile and can be used to heal or improve any condition or difficulty.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a Religion. It has no dogma and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn or use Reiki. Reiki is compatible with all Religious paths and faiths.

Sessions usually involve a combination of energy-based modalities that are individualized to fit the client.

The Five Spiritual Principles of Reiki

Just for today I shall not worry.

Just for today I will do my work honestly.

Just for today I will not anger.

Just for today I will respect and be kind to all beings.

Just for today I will show gratitude for all my blessings.

Does fear live in the future?

Sue Heldenbrand CHTP — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:10:18 +0000

When we have fears, it is usually something that we think MIGHT happen rather than what is happening now, in the present. So, fear is typically a projection into the future of what could happen. For all accounts, fear is a future thing,

The majority of what we fear usually does not materialize. It’s in the allowing the fear to control you that makes it stronger by interacting with it. The news media is great for instilling that fear in our minds and keeping it there. By constantly being exposed to the fear based channels, you are generating more of that fear by giving it more power.

Everyone at one time or another in his or her lifetime has had an event or situation that would be considered as traumatic. It can be a series of events, abuse, and fear produced by a critical and unsupportive parent or anything that produces a feeling of helplessness. These experiences can be overwhelming and dealing with emotions can be difficult. Although the event has ended, the memories may last for months or years to come.

What about the fear from the past or feelings of panic or anxiety that comes out of nowhere? If you have ever experienced PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) or severe or chronic stress, then possibly you may be re-living that traumatic event or events and not be aware of it.

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. Our emotional brain creates 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 during a stressful or fearful situation.

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.

Instead of focusing on something negative that might happen, visualize what you would like to happen. Keep your focus on a positive outcome.

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.

Getting the issues out of the tissues

Sue Heldenbrand CHTP — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:16:36 +0000

Integrated Energy Therapy® (IET) is an energy therapy that provides a wonderful complement to other holistic techniques such as Healing Touch, Reiki, and Quantum Touch.

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
