Energy Work 101
What is the benefit of an energy session? What even is energy work?
If you’ve never done anything like it before, it can seem reeeeaaaaaalllly weird and out there.
Energy work is an incredibly broad term. It’s a session committed to the subtle realms of you. Your emotions, thoughts, memories, imprints on your nervous system, and - here we go - your spiritual guides and guardians, your past lives, parallel timelines, and your soul.
Woah. That’s a lot and it may sound a little too wild. That’s cool. This kind of work doesn’t suit everyone, though absolutely every being could gain and glean something from it to enhance their embodied experience.
Some individuals are sensitive and can tune in to these realms. You might call them soothsayers, mystics, witches, psychics, ghost hunters, crazy… I like light worker myself. They are the people who, with your permission, will take a look into these parts of you and share what they see. You can simply absorb the information, or maybe, together, you decide if there are certain actions to be taken. For example, you may want to have a conversation with a component of what comes up. You may want to release something old and outdated, like a thought or the basis for an established belief system. You may want to create a boundary around you to feel energetically protected - this can be particularly wonderful if you are easily affected by the emotional states of others. You may want to call forth one of your guides and ask them why they are with you. You may want to explore how events from past lives are currently playing out in your life today. You may want to unlock a sense of ease and peace in your body and mind. The possibilities are infinite, and the best part is you are always in the driver’s seat.
Many, but not all, of these sessions end with an attunement to light energy (in Reiki it’s considered an attunement to the universal life force). It’s like an infusion of the high vibratory power that exists inside all material forms on this earth and beyond. It’s pure divine essence. It’s the good stuff that sits behind our grasping ego, our wandering mind, our facets of identity. The benefit is that it helps us reconnect to the deepest core of who we are, the part of us that is infinite, that carries on beyond our body, our ingrained patterns, our passions, our to-do lists. And it grants us an elevated perspective on how we move through the world while we are here.
This is a *very* quick summary of what energy work could look like, and it doesn’t convey the many nuances of this kind of practice. So, if you have questions, email me! Keep perusing the infinite nooks and crannies of the interwebs and see what others have to say. Or, book a session and dive right in. You never know what could be waiting for you.
