Energy Healing

While traditional medical therapies and medicine helped me to achieve a certain level of healing after my accident, I continued to feel blocked ~ unable to move forward.  Not being one to accept - "that is all we can do, or let's try this other pill" - I started asking my Angels for guidance. Information about Chakras, Reiki, Reflexology and other energy healing modalities started popping everywhere. From television to radio talks to articles in newspapers and magazines. Clearly this was the missing link. 

I started searching for people who were skilled in this area ~ and started incorporating Reiki and Reflexology into my medical therapies. The changes for me were subtle at first (I have heard for some people it can be quite sudden) and overtime we started to notice that my traditional therapies seemed to have greater effective

For the past couple of years I have been combining energy healing with my regular medical therapies. Most recently last year I added a holistic chiropractor  who uses the KST technique and have been able to reduce the amount of pills I have to take.

I even manage the occasional good night's sleep, now. I'm also learning to better accept my circumstances and who I am. For the first time since my accident I know there is a wonderful future waiting for me to step into and start living it.

Sadly the majority of medical insurance companies do not cover the costs for alternative medicine ~ including energy healing. 

Seeing the results energy healing has had in my own recovery I'm currently learning more about Chakras and the role energy plays in healing, so that I may be able to share with others things we can do on our own that will help to restore our energy, in upcoming blog articles.

One of the reasons I love energy healing is that it does not involve pills or physical exertion and "too much" energy healing is impossible, as energy will redirect itself to areas where it is needed. Energy healing can be beneficial with stress and anxiety reduction, relief from colds, help with pain management and minimizing side effects from medical treatments.

It is important to note: While energy healing  encourages the body to draw upon its natural healing abilities, it is intended to complement traditional medical therapies - NOT to replace them. Used in combination with traditional treatments, energy healing may help you to experience greater results from traditional medical therapies.

New You ~ Building the foundation

If your reflection in the mirror no longer fits the life you are living or want to live then it’s time for a change. How does one go about creating a “New You”? This perhaps is the million dollar question and certainly if you were to ask 10 people you would receive 10 unique responses. Now, I am not an expert on this subject nor do I claim to have all the answers. I have however, spent the past 4 years (October 28th) after re-learning to eat, speak, walk, and think; trying to figure out who the person staring back at me in the mirror is.


By sharing with you the baby steps I have taken forward and at times the giant steps I take backwards I hope that you realize you are not alone and that with faith, belief, courage, determination, hard work and support be it from Virtual friends here in Blog Land or from friends you seeing daily… you too can start on the path to “New You”!

Spiritual,Mental, Emotional Fitness:

It does not matter what your religious background is, so long as you have your Spiritual self, belief and faith. The power of being able to stay positive is extremely important, as the energy you create around you is what will embrace you (by the people and things that come into your life). Ever stop to think - its the person who is always down, complaining that just doesn't seem to get a break; while the person who faces life's challenges with the glass is half full attitude seems to come out of even the most horific circumstances.

The one thing I strongly suggest before embarking on any life changing is that you seek the services of a psychologist. As often there are underlying issues that until dealt with no matter what you do or try it will only be a temporary band-aide. I know what you are thinking, but trust me I felt the same way in the beginning and went through various "Shrekos" (and even a quack or two) before I found someone that I felt comfortable speaking with.

Support, whether virtual or via a close friend or family member you need someone who will help keep you motivated, and will cheer your accomplishments.

Once, you have the above in place you can get on with the Re-invention:
