Aura Healing

The auric field is simply the electromagnetic field that surrounds the body. In it lie the energy imprints and patterns that eventually manifest physically or psychologically in us as illnesses, stress or certain ways of thinking. By treating the auric field, it is possible to clear a pattern before it shows up physically, as well as to heal a current ailment or imbalance. When our electromagnetic energies are flowing clearly and cleanly, we feel good physically, we are generally happy, and our lives seem to “click”, or flow, without a lot of obstacles slowing us down. We are also immensely creative and easily experience a kind of richness of life when our energetic bodies are well-aligned. When we are out of balance, we’re feeling stuck, like we’re spinning our wheels, like nothing is going right, or we’re angry, sad, frustrated, or depressed. We may be having issues at work, or with our spouses or families that seem difficult or even intractable. You know the drill. But once your energetic body is “cleaned out, filled up and polished”, you are your best self again and you see everything around you with different eyes. Situations shift, problems disappear, and clarity infuses your life.

In auric healing, I work with my hands just as when I do massage, but I am working in the auric field that surrounds your body. I can feel areas of congestion, areas of depletion, weaknesses, etc. which I literally repair and rebalance, bringing you back to your own harmonious self. This ability is called clairsentience and I use it quite naturally and automatically in my healing practice. My hands just “know” where to go. I am guided in an instant to my clients’ painful or imbalanced areas. This is not so much a function of my technical knowledge of the body or of bodywork techniques as it is my hands actually feeling the streams and eddies of energy in and around the body. This is “beyond the physical”, yet it is quite solid and apparent to healers like myself who have developed this ability to perceive what is actually there, but not normally “seen with the naked eye.”

Receiving an auric field balancing is a wonderful way to raise your energy level, clear out the cobwebs, release difficult issues and stresses, relieve pain, and restore your calm and joy. Hope to see you soon!

The first step in solving a problem, whether on the physical, emotional, or spiritual level, is letting go of worry. Worry only perpetuates the problem, serving to focus you on the wrong things. It allows the problem to stay, instead of allowing peace.

“Let go of worry” is one of the Reiki principles that I most often remember in my practice, and I have seen that letting go of worry, while focusing on the positive results one desires, has worked miracles in my client’s lives. The most common effect I have witnessed is that, when a person gets up from the massage table after a Reiki session, they are infused with a profound sense of peace and calm. They feel balanced and harmonious, with a sense of being better able to deal with the problems of their lives.

When I tell someone that I practice a technique called Reiki, usually that person asks: What is that? Although I have been using Reiki for 20 years, I always have a hard time answering that question. Reiki is something to be experienced, rather than explained. Receiving a Reiki treatment, or a series of treatments, is the best way to get to know it. Verbal explanations of this powerful energy technique often seem esoteric and vague, but I believe that is because this healing modality expands way beyond the limitations inherent in verbal communication. That said, I will describe it to the best of my ability.

Reiki is a hands-on healing technique that is derived from an ancient Tibetan healing system that utilized Sanskrit symbols to activate the healing process. It was rediscovered by Dr. Usui in the late 1800's, who passed the Reiki system on to Dr. Hayashi in Japan. Dr. Hayashi, in turn, passed the knowledge of Reiki to Hawayo Takata, a Hawaiian woman who had come to his clinic in Tokyo to be healed. She is the one who served as the conduit of Reiki to the Western world. Since that time, Reiki has changed and evolved, and is now reaching more and more people. My desire is to share Reiki with as many people as possible, because it is a healing technique that is so comprehensive and powerful, yet easy to practice. Even children can learn to do Reiki.

So how does it work? First, the word itself must be understood. Reiki is a Japanese word. “Rei” translates to mean “”Spirit, Soul, Universal God”; the further implication being that this Higher Intelligence or God Consciousness guides the creation and function of the universe. The translation of “Ki” is “life force energy”. “Ki” is the non-physical energy that animates and permeates all things, and it is necessary for the harmonious and healthy functioning of the body and all its systems. This life force energy that works with a Higher Wisdom can be channelled through one’s hands with the intent to heal. Reiki energy flows where it is needed, creating the healing condition required by each individual at that time. The practitioner does not heal by herself, but serves as the facilitator of this healing force.

Reiki differs from other laying-on-of-hands systems in that one must receive a series of attunements from a Reiki Master in order to activate the energy. This is somewhat akin to turning on a light switch. The electricity is always flowing, always available, but the light will not illuminate until we walk over to the wall and turn the switch to the “on” position. While everything that has life has Ki flowing through it, receiving a Reiki attunement connects the receiver to the limitless supply of Ki in an increased way. The attunement is what creates the healer. There are three Degrees in the Reiki system, and with each Degree, the practitioner’s ability to channel this energy is increased.

Reiki energy works on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. It is not a religion or a philosophy, nor does it require a particular background to learn. Anyone who has the desire to heal can learn Reiki. We all have an innate capacity for health at every level of our being. Both giving and receiving Reiki are gifts of wholeness and harmony that are well worth having in our increasingly complicated lives.
