Energy Clearing and Chakras

I know some of you have never heard of energy clearing at all, and some of you thought smudging was a makeup technique.  So I'll take the time to give you a bit of information about a service I provide.



ENERGY CLEARING
Due to having constant exposure to others, we encounter we automatically are also exposed to their individual energies whether they may be positive or negative energies.  We may be exposed to their flowing mother love everything is beautiful energy as well as the toxic emotions that cause irritability and even some illnesses.  No matter the type of energy you encounter you may also bring that energy into your home or whatever physical space you spend time.  I don't know about you but as an empath, I can barely cope with my own energy yet alone someone else's.  These energies can cause your space to feel stagnant.  Have you ever noticed that you seem to have arguments in the same areas of your home?  This is a clue that the energy needs clearing.

There can also be other reasons for needing to clear the energy in your space such as:  

Energy Vampires
They almost seem like normal, honest, good people but secretly that want nothing more than to have you join their misery.  Know the old saying misery loves company.  They are pros at attracting empaths who are loving, caring, and have optimistic attitudes for energy vampires to suck out of them.  So much so that they live you feeling drained, and stuck because they have sucked up all of your energy.

In-home Visitors
To keep your home sacred, it’s good to clear the energy in your home after having visitors or even after a party.  Doing this resets the energy flow of your home and erases all the energy that your guest may have left behind.  

THE PROCESS OF CLEARING 
Every space is different; therefore, techniques can be adjusted. However, my process of clearing spaces can consist of providing Reiki to each individual room in the home while also smudging with a variety of different sticks such as white or yerba santa sage, cedar, or juniper sticks, that may contain lavender.  (I plan on posting about the many differences sometime soon.) After clearing the space with sage.  I infuse the space with positive energy by utilizing palo santo, candles, incense, singing bowls, music, or crystals.  I do this all while praying or setting the intention you have for your home.  I do all of this after cleansing myself as well as all occupants of the home.  Once that process is done, I offer my gratitude and ask for the protection of the home.  

CHAKRAS


Within our physical body, we have a spiritual body that contains Chakras, which is the Sanskrit word for wheel or disc.  Each chakra represents a different energy center that holds life force energy that is responsible for each person's physical, mental, and spiritual functions.  These energy centers absorb and transmit energy to and from the universe nature, celestial entities, people, and tangible things like crystals. It is said that human beings have thousands of chakras located in hands and feet but the most significant ones are seven main chakras located along the central line of the body, from the base of the spine to the top of the head.

How do Chakras Affect Us?
The chakras are constantly rotating and vibrating.  The activities in them influence our body shape, glandular processes, physical ailments, thoughts, and behavior. When one (or more) of the chakra is blocked and the energy does not flow harmoniously through them, or it is wide open, it will result in imbalance that is manifested in all areas of life.

How do you Balance and Heal Chakras?

I do this by smudging my physical body with sage and palo santo, aromatherapy with essential oils, Reiki, color therapy, breathwork, exercise, meditation, crystal work, natural plants in the physical environment, clean eating, and clean living through functioning through my higher self as much as possible.  Also, drink plenty of water!  We are love and light consisting of a spectrum of colors, which is represented by our energy centers.  When you add water to light you see its beauty more, you recognize and handle shifts of energy easier, raising your vibration bringing you closer to balance and your higher divine self.


What Blocks Chakras?

Chakras naturally shift throughout our day as we encounter people and life and have lived experiences.  However, some things that cause chakra blockages are childhood traumas, limiting beliefs, adverse habits, physical and emotional traumas such as abuse, and lack of self-love to name a few. 

It is important to recognize the blocks we carry, find and understand their source and meaning, and develop tools to heal them or utilize the services I provide to aid you in empowering your journey to healing.

Distance Reiki

Distance Reiki is a wonderful option for people who cannot come in and lay down for a hands-on Reiki session. For example, people that are ill or living in a different location. Reiki is universal energy.  Therefore, it can be sent to a person, animal, situation time, or place. As a Reiki practitioner, I have the ability to channel universal healing towards you. Sending Reiki is possible because energy is not confined and can transcend time and space so it is easily transmitted anywhere.  It is easily done and works very well and can be done in different ways.  The practitioner can use a proxy, visualization, or a projection of Reiki energy (beaming) or a combination of these methods.  I personally either use a stuffed animal that I hold near and dear to my heart or I use my own body as a proxy along with visualization or the client's photo.  

After completing Reiki sessions, I like to follow up with clients and have had reports of feeling extremely relaxed, but also that they felt the energy as in tingling, heat, or pulsations within their limbs.  However, some people feel nothing but feel the subtle effects in the days after such as calmness, balance, and empowering energy.  Reiki energy can also bring stagnant energy to the surface in order to be released and healed that was formed from physical or emotional pain.  

If you're skeptical of Reiki hands-on or distance.  I understand it.  I was too. It sounds unbelievable.  I still can't believe it sometimes, but despite all of the googling you will do to find out what it is, how useful it is, does it work, nothing will beat actually taking the leap and actually experiencing it.  The universe kept bringing Reiki to me.  I was having so many moments (which I know were synchronicities) trying to tell me to be open to this wonderful thing, and I'm so happy I listened because the moment I did... my life changed... for the better.

My journey hasn't been easy.  I have had to face some traumatic experiences past and present, but I now know my worth, my greatness, my strengths, and growth moments, and I know that I'm not alone and I'm being guided.  I want to help you learn that too.

Reiki Box

I absolutely love my Reiki box.  Let me tell you the story of how I found it.  In the process of completing my Level II Reiki certification, we learned about manifesting goals and doing that by 

creating a Reiki box from a box that feels special for you.  On the day I found my Reiki box I was able to have a lunch date with my husband; which my h was something special within itself because we never get to do that.  We went on a relaxing walk and decided to stop at an antique store and I had the thought that today is the day I will find something special because I had been looking for it for months!  The antique store was pretty big with a lot of turns, but something told me to leave my husband and branch off by myself.  I turned two corners and the energy in the store literally changed, and looked up and saw a wood box.  I thought, "could this be it?"  I saw the butterflies and my inner self did a happy dance, and I ran to my husband and said, "look I found it!  I found my Reiki box!"  It was literally a moment because anyone who knows me knows how much I love butterflies and for this special box to have butterflies on it.  Representing transformation that also reminds me of one of my favorite people, my great grandmother Bell.  It was the perfect box for manifestation.  Now I'll tell you what Reiki box does for you.  

Reiki Box Healing is a spiritual healing service where you can sign up to receive Reiki healing for a period of time. The Reiki practitioner places your name and your healing goals into a box that is charged every day by continuous Reiki healing and Crystal Reiki healing.  This is great as you will receive daily healing so that you can progressively improve and manifest your goals of health, wealth, love, and happiness for your highest good! 

The power of Reiki, Prayer, intention, and gratitude, can be really powerful. However, it has to be addressed that it takes time for some things to be granted. Although, some things may be manifested quickly. There is however no guarantee that what is asked for will be manifested. However, with bringing energy towards your goal you are connecting to life force energy to increase chances of your goal manifesting. It also must be said that what you ask for may not happen the way you had in mind, but it must be trusted that your highest good knows what is best for you. Also, Keep in mind that when wishes involve other people; remember they too have choices to make in their lives. Your wish may, or may not, be part of what their higher self wants.

Crystal Healing with Reiki

I have loved crystals for as long as I can remember.  I would collect rocks, shells, and sea glass and imagine they were fossils and gemstones.  Little did I know it was the start of an expensive and fulfilling journey.  Its only fitting that I learn to incorporate them into my career and my way of life.  Today we're talking about Crystal Healing with Reiki!

Crystal Healing

Crystal therapy is a module that treats clients through placing crystals on or around the body as well as in rooms in a grid-like pattern.  Crystal healing has been used dating back to the time of Atlantis.  Crystals have an electromagnetic field that lets off a charge or vibration that communicates and connects with energies that flow around physical spaces including human beings. These vibrations interact with the energy centers or chakras to remove blockages or restore a healthy flow of energy throughout the body, mind, and spirit.  Whether you believe in the healing properties of crystals or not it still offers you the opportunity to relax, refresh, restore, de-stress, and improve your wellbeing in a non-invasive way.  


The color of the crystals used usually corresponds with the energy center on the body.  (I'll describe in more detail how this works further in the post.) The human body contains crystalline particles and a rich array of minerals that are formed from the earth.  The human body is 70% water and water is also a crystalline structure.  Therefore, the minerals and crystalline structures with your body create a harmonious balance when combined with the minerals and crystalline structures of the earth.  A balance of holistic wellbeing and support in the human body representing an appreciation of earth's gifts.  

Crystal Healing with Reiki

Crystals used during Reiki Healing will help the healing and energy balancing. They will speed up the healing process.

When utilizing crystals to enhance a Reiki session and assist in balancing the whole chakra system a crystal is placed on each area in the appropriate color. In combination with the setting of the practitioner and the client's intentions, this will give each chakra a boost of its own vibration without altering its energies or the overall harmony of the system. It is believed that the interaction between the crystals and chakras will return the chakra into healthy vibration, therefore healing the part of the body affected.  By placing a different beneficial stone on each of the seven chakras it can be a general tonic to strengthen and tone up the entire system. Crystal Reiki has the potential to connect the client with the rising consciousness around them and help them align with it and use it to heal. After the use of each crystal, they are cleansed to protect the clients as well as myself.

Mindfulness

Since starting graduate school I haven't really taken a break. In-between classes we have the option of taking a break and that break can be one week to three weeks or we can choose to not take a break at all. Due to me wanting to complete my degree and start working as soon as possible I have opted not to take any breaks. However, due to my overwhelming responsibilities and the process of starting my clinical work I have decided to take a 3-week break. I'm currently on my second week and I feel that although I have been taking steps to better myself more intensely the last couple of years;  it is in this experience that I just had an epiphany moment. I have a better understanding of why those steps were so extremely vital to my journey right now. I have been feeling extremely anxious and unsure about many of the decisions I have made in the last few months; years in fact!  Even though I have grown secure with my decisions.  However, at this very moment I have just realized that those decisions, those steps were necessary not only for my health, sanity, love and respect for myself, my peace, but also for my well-being of being present in my body and this time and space.

I have learned that therapist also need their own therapist. We all have our own set of problems and experiences that we have to deal with that impact the people we are; and that impact can be a negative or a positive one. So on my journey I have had the honor of experiencing several therapist and a few have suggested mindfulness practices to me. I admit, I did not truly understand what mindfulness was until today. Thanks to a podcast app that I just downloaded I have chosen to subscribe to many therapist topics to utilize as resources for myself that may also be beneficial to share with my clients and through my research I have learned that mindfulness means different things to many people.  Therefore, I have gained a bit of compassion for myself for putting so much pressure on self to understand something the way another therapist understands mindfulness to be. I now understand that my confusion on what mindfulness is was because it was something different to me. It's not just shutting my brain down to not think any thoughts.  It's about welcoming those thoughts and being aware that they are there but placing a bit of a boundary on those thoughts and telling them I see you, but this is my focus right now. Its not just sitting still posing like a Buddha.  I have now realized that I have been practicing mindfulness a lot in my relationships, when I cook, when I go for a walk, when I'm shutting off the TV and playing games with my kids, when I'm listening to the birds, when we're trying to have family dinner, when I'm gardening, when I'm drinking a cup of tea. Mindfulness is a awareness and it's a focus on one thing, but also a developed compassion that we're human beings and our minds roam.  That's what they are supposed to do.  I'm now seeing ways that I would like to practice mindfulness with more of an intention; for example it's a habit for me to tell my kids I love you everyday.  However, it has become more of a habit; there's no real intention on it. When I'm saying it, I am making their lunch or I am pushing them in the doorways of their school building or I am turning a direction to head to work or something. Now I see that I have to be mindful in my intent to actually help my children really see that this is a moment of expressed love and not just words.  Furthermore, not with just my kids but also with my husband, my mother, my father, myself. I am so looking forward to the focus that I am sure being intentionally mindful will bring to my life.  Maybe you will be on the same thing I'm on...
