With all the uncertainties occurring this year, it’s essential to maintain a high energy vibration—for your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, as well as to support others. Here are a few tips to help you do just that.

---

Ground and Center Yourself Daily

The bare minimum is to ground and center yourself at least once a day. This helps bring you into the present moment rather than spiraling into anxious thoughts. It also protects you from absorbing other people’s low vibrations.

---

Visualize Protective Light

Once grounded and centered, visualize yourself surrounded by a semi-permeable cocoon of white and golden light. This adds another layer of protection and is especially helpful if you’ll be around people who are in a lower energetic state. The light allows you to stay connected without absorbing their emotions or energy. If you’re highly sensitive and find yourself taking on others’ emotions, this technique can be a game changer.

Raise Your Vibration Regularly

A powerful way to raise your frequency is by doing the Hara alignment meditation (from the Level 3 Healing Touch class). Another excellent option is the High Frequency Shift from Awakening Healing Axis (AHA).

To learn the Basic High Frequency Shift for free:

• Visit AHA’s homepage.

• Scroll to the “Why Raise Your Frequency” section, paragraph 3.

• Follow the link for a free 30-minute course and accompanying audio.

I highly recommend doing one of these three meditations at least twice a week, ideally daily. If you’re doing one regularly, you’re already grounding and centering yourself.

Personally, I’ve found the High Frequency Shift to be the most beneficial for me. I do it 4–6 times a week. When I skip a few days, I notice I become irritable, drained, or unmotivated. That said, something is always better than nothing—even a quick chakra connection can bring noticeable benefits.

Receive Energy Work

Get energy work from another practitioner at least monthly—and more often when possible. I’ve been exchanging monthly Healing Touch sessions with my friend and fellow practitioner, Jeri Lawson, for several years. Since May, we’ve both found that receiving treatments two or more times a month helps us stay balanced in body, mind, and spirit during these chaotic times.

I encourage you to connect with classmates, Healing Touch friends, or other energy practitioners and receive regular treatments. This helps clear congestion from your energy field, making it easier to raise your vibration.

---

Limit Media Exposure

Limit how much time you spend watching the news or political commentary. It’s easy to go down a rabbit hole and feel overwhelmed. Some people find that restricting news intake to 30–60 minutes a day helps them stay grounded. Others benefit more from taking complete news breaks for a few days.

Find what works best for you—and stick with it.

---

Practice Gratitude Daily

Find things to be grateful for—no matter what. Gratitude isn’t about pretending everything is fine or ignoring real challenges. It’s about choosing where to place your focus.

Yes, pain, injustice, and suffering exist. But when we focus on life’s gifts, we tap into a sense of well-being. Gratitude increases our energy, gives us strength, and often inspires us to support others in meaningful ways.

Final Thoughts

In my early years as a nurse, the prevalence of hospices was not as widespread, necessitating hospitals to often shoulder the responsibility of caring for individuals at the end of life.  I often wished I could provide more than just medication and listening to alleviate the suffering of patients and their families during this transition. The fear of the unknown, sometimes restlessness and agitation, and the overwhelming grief were palpable, and I longed for a holistic approach to address their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Fortunately, I found a way; unfortunately, it was 30 years later. 

In 2008, I discovered Healing Touch, an energy therapy that allowed me to provide comprehensive, holistic support to patients and families.  I have worked with numerous families and observed various transformations –  a profound sense of calm and peace for all parties navigating the challenging realm of end-of-life care.  Some patients, reluctant to be constantly medicated, found Healing Touch decreased their pain so they could spend quality time with loved ones.  Others, suffering from agitation and restlessness, sometimes even in their sleep, experienced tranquility. 

The profound impact of Healing Touch is illustrated in these two client stories.  A close friend’s father, in his final week of life, experienced hallucinations and agitation. Even in his sleep, he would be grabbing at things, and his feet would be moving.  Administering a Healing Touch technique called the Chakra Spread, I watched as his body, once in perpetual motion, eased into a state of stillness and peace.  He slept peacefully for over an hour and was calm when he awoke. This state of calm remained for several hours.  Every time I gave him a treatment, the results were the same, which offered comfort to both the patient and his family.

Another client contending with widespread cancer expressed a fear of dying and the unknown.  He was not sleeping well and chose to use pain medication sparingly because he was afraid he might not wake up. Utilizing a combination of techniques, including Chakra Spread and pain management strategies, he underwent a transformative journey.  Gradually, his fear subsided, allowing him to embrace moments of joy, connect with loved ones, and manage his pain more effectively. With assistance, he even went to another family member’s home for a change of scenery for a day. Ultimately, he transitioned peacefully at home,

To those actively caring for individuals in hospice care, whether as professionals, volunteers, or dedicated family caregivers, I extend an invitation to explore the transformative power of Healing Touch. Enrolling in a Healing Touch Level 1 class can equip you with invaluable techniques that address the whole person – body, mind and spirit, and enhance the quality of care provided during this delicate phase of life.   Click here to learn about upcoming Level 1 classes.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy New Year! I and many others hope that this year will be better than last year on many fronts.  The pandemic, chaos, divisiveness of 2021 caused massive uncertainty and produced anxiety and stress throughout the US.  While these issues will not go away easily or quickly there are energetic techniques you can do for yourself to help make 2022 feel more peaceful, joyful, and stable.  Remember when your energy system is open, flowing and balanced your vibration is high and that promotes health and well-being in your body, mind and Spirit. This allows you to maintain a strong immune system, think clearly, and face challenges with compassion and calmness and discover the best resolution.  It also helps those around you if their vibration is low.

Below are various methods that support your energy system in different ways.  Read all of them, find the one(s) that appeal to you and give it a try.  You have nothing to lose and much to gain!

Keep positive thoughts and practice gratitude 

Your thoughts affect your energy system as well as you mental and physical well-being.  This does not mean you should never feel sad, angry or stressed, we all have those feelings sometimes however finding something positive in a bad situation and expressing gratitude for the good things in your life supports your energy system and mental processes. Positive affirmations are wonderful at cultivating positive thoughts.

Gratitude can be for things large or small.  You can be grateful for a sunny day, a good cup of coffee, finding a parking spot fast, avoiding a car accident, getting a new job, reconnecting with an old friend, and the list goes on.

For example, when I was diagnosed with cancer I was shocked and anxious at first.  Then I was grateful that it was discovered early and very treatable. My thoughts focused on a successful surgery and fast recovery. I spent some time reflecting on what was really important to me and refocused my energies on those areas where as before I was being pulled in many directions.  I was also grateful for all the support of my family and friends before, during and after surgery.

Healing touch to keep your energy field open and balanced

Changes show up in your energy field before you develop physical symptoms or dis-ease.  Energy can become congested for many reasons:  emotions such as fear or anger, bodily injury, traumatic events. Over time even small things like being stuck in traffic on a daily basis or listening to too much news can adversely affect your personal energy system.

The Healing Touch Level 1 class teaches some self-care techniques you can do to open and clear any congestion such as the self-chakra connection.  I work on myself regularly, however, I find receiving a session from another person at least monthly to be very beneficial.  So I encourage you to reach out to classmates and set up an exchange.

If you haven’t taken a class or just want to receive a session from a practitioner I would be honored to work with you.  Now through Feb 4^th I am offering a 20% off ($112 regularly $140) for a 1 hour 15 minute session because I want everyone to start 2022 with good vibrations!   With the COVID surge all of my sessions are virtual.  Click here to schedule a session.  Contact me by phone or email if you need an evening or weekend appointment.

Aromatherapy

Are you aware every essential oil has its own vibrational frequency and that by inhaling or applying it topically you can raise your vibration?  A healthy human vibrates at 62-78 MHZ, at 58 or below illness or dis-ease can occur.  Essential oils range from 52 – 320 MHZ.  With a client’s consent, I use essential oils in my healing touch sessions because it raises both our vibrations which allows me to clear and balance the field easier.

Rose has the highest frequency at 320 MHZ and is one of the most expensive oils.  Lavender (105 MHZ) and Roman chamomile (118 MHZ) are very helpful in relieving both anxiety and stress.  Lemon, jasmine and ylang ylang assist in alleviating stress.  Bergamot, geranium and mandarin (especially good for children) help decrease anxiety.

If you want to discover what specific oils your body and energy field are craving schedule a free 30 minute consultation.

Guided Imagery

You may already know that imagery can help you heal your body, improve your mood and reach your goals but did you know it can help improve energy flow?  If you feel like you’re “stuck” in an emotion or that your energy isn’t flowing well take a few minutes to try this.

Get into a comfortable position sitting or lying down.  Take 3 deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.  Now do an internal scan and determine where you feel this emotion or where your energy is congested.  Is it in your gut, heart, arm, head or somewhere else?  What is the sensation attached to this area of congestion – tightness, thickness, solid like a brick or something else? 

Now allow an image to form in your mind’s eye that can help break-up the congestion.  Perhaps a ball of light, a colored substance, an animal or little folks with pick axes.  Whatever pops into your mind go with it.  What does this image look like?  Does it feel welcoming, fierce, supportive, strong, calming or something else?   Is it making any sound or does it have a scent associated with it?  Ask it to help you remove the congestion and allow it to answer you in some way. 

Now imagine the image is removing the congestion in whatever way it wants.  For example a light may change colors and push through the congestion or suck it up, an animal may chase it away or eat it and folks with the axes can chip away at it.  Whatever method the image uses is perfect for you.  After a few minutes or when the congestion is cleared, bring your attention back into that area and notice how you feel.  Is the tightness less or resolved, perhaps the brick is gone or the feeling of thickness has dissolved.

If the energy does not feel like it is fully flowing ask the image what you can do to help fully resolve it.  Allow it to answer you in some form.  Then thank the helpful image for coming and the work it did.  Now allow the image to fade, wiggle your toes and fingers and come back to this time and space.

I hope this has given you some new ideas or rekindled old ones that help you in 2022 and beyond.  Remember everything is energy so let’s use it to our advantage!
