How Healing Magic Can Happen for You

Many years ago, after diving into Reiki, a dear friend of mine introduced me to hypnosis and then subsequently, NLP (neurolinguistic programming). At the time I was still in the business of casting and photo shoots, I knew all these trainings were really for my own personal development even though there was a teeny, tiny piece of myself that thought maybe one day I might do something professionally with all of it, somehow.

I didn’t even understand what NLP was, but my friend was so excited about her training and her teachers that I felt called to join even though I didn’t know too much about it. The training was not inexpensive, it was also a significant commitment of time…a couple thousand dollars for a 9-day intensive on a subject matter that I didn’t know much about, but something spoke to me. That’s how it’s been for me with all the trainings and workshops and intensives that I’ve done. That intensive was extremely challenging and healing at the same time. At one point, I felt as if I was losing my mind but within a strong container held by my teachers, I was able to heal. I felt a heavy ball of grief lifted off me. I healed layers of pain I didn’t realize that I was still carrying. I stepped out of that healing experience feeling lighter, shinier and more ME. To this day, I still consider it one of the best investments I’ve ever made.

Over the years, I recognize that when I feel a slight nudge towards something big and scary (emotionally and financially), for me – that means time to dive right in. It’s essentially how I’ve lived my life, at least for the most part…relying on a hint of desire and a whole lot of fear to guide me on my path. Of course, I am not advocating that this is the way for anyone else at all. What I am saying is that when you begin to pay attention to the nudges and the whispers of excitement and fear, you can begin to use them as inner guideposts to explore and to open to possibility.

The reason I’m so inspired to offer these deeper healing immersions is that our culture doesn’t hold meaningful space for us to heal. It’s getting more and rare these days to get support in shifting core patterns. For the most part, our culture has a “take a pill” mindset – and without knowing it, we’ve applied this same mindset to holistic healing. We pop a session when something is wrong. And while this is great to help you move through a trouble spot in your life, an occasional session, or randomly scheduled sessions, don’t help you really change your life.

When you are held and supported within a strong, gentle and safe container, your system and your energy field can begin to unwind and heal, integrate and release. Your system recognizes that it is supported, and your life begins to shift towards balance and healing.

Commitment is the energy of deep transformation.
