The Power of Energy Healing

If you are seeking a holistic approach to healing and personal growth, energy healing offers a powerful pathway to unlocking your hidden potential. Whether you are struggling with physical ailments, emotional distress, or a desire for deeper spiritual connection, energy healing can provide a transformative experience that promotes balance, harmony, and well-being on all levels.

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing by exploring the world of energy healing. Allow the gentle yet powerful energy of this modality to guide you towards a state of optimal health, vitality, and spiritual fulfilment.


In the realm of holistic healing, energy healing stands out as a powerful modality that taps into the subtle yet profound energy fields that permeate our bodies and the universe around us. Unlike traditional medicine, which focuses mainly on the physical manifestations of disease, energy healing approaches the healing process from a more holistic perspective, addressing the interconnectedness of mind, body, soul and spirit.


As an energy healer, I have seen firsthand the transformative power of this modality in alleviating a wide range of physical, emotional, and mental health challenges. Through gentle yet effective techniques, energy healing can restore balance and harmony to our energy systems, promoting deep healing and self-discovery.


Unveiling the Science Behind Energy Healing

While energy healing may seem esoteric or a bit out there to some, it is deeply rooted in scientific principles. Our bodies are composed of atoms, which vibrate at specific frequencies. These vibrations create electromagnetic fields that surround and interact with the physical body. Energy healing techniques work by manipulating these energy fields, promoting healing and restoration.


Understanding Energy Healing

At its core, energy healing is the practice of restoring balance and harmony to the human energy field, which is known as the aura. This energy field, composed of electromagnetic vibrations, surrounds and penetrates the physical body, serving as a blueprint for our overall health and well-being.

When the aura becomes imbalanced or blocked due to stress, trauma, negative emotions, or lifestyle factors, it can manifest as various physical, emotional, and mental health issues. Energy healing works by gently releasing these blockages and restoring the flow of energy, thereby promoting healing and well-being on all levels.


The Benefits of Energy Healing

The benefits of energy healing extend far beyond the alleviation of physical symptoms. This holistic approach can also profoundly impact a wide range of emotional, mental and spiritual well-being, promoting:

●       Emotional balance: Energy healing can help release pent-up emotions, release emotional baggage, alleviate stress, anxiety and depression; it can help to calm the nervous system resulting in a sense of inner peace and the building of emotional resilience.

●       Mental clarity: By addressing underlying energy imbalances, energy healing can enhance mental clarity, improve focus, and reduce symptoms of mental fog or fatigue.

●       Spiritual Awakening: Energy healing can facilitate spiritual growth, promote a sense of connection to something greater than oneself, and enhance spiritual awareness, fostering a deeper sense of self-awareness and purpose.

●       Pain relief: Energy healing can help to alleviate chronic pain, providing a non-invasive and drug-free alternative to traditional pain management.

●       Improved sleep patterns: Energy healing can help to regulate sleep patterns, reducing insomnia and promoting restful sleep.

 

Energy Healing Techniques

The world of energy healing encompasses a vast array of techniques, each with its unique approach to restoring balance and harmony to the human energy field. These are some of the techniques that I may use in an energy healing session or during a therapy session:

●       Seichem Reiki: A healing technique that involves channelling life force energy through the hands of the practitioner to promote healing and well-being.

●       Chakra balancing: A practice that focuses on opening and balancing the body's seven chakras, energy centers that govern various aspects of physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

●       Crystals: The use of gemstones and crystals, which are believed to emit specific vibrations that can harmonize the body's energy field.

●       Guided imagery: A technique that utilises visualisation and relaxation to promote healing and self-discovery.

●       EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques): A tapping technique that combines acupressure with psychological interventions to address emotional and mental blockages.

●       Dowsing: Can be used to detect imbalances in the body’s energy field and to restore balance.

●       Shamanic tools: The heartbeat of the drum and the rhythm of the rattle are essential tools for shamanic energy healing, helping to raise the vibration of the client's energy.



Every individual's energy system is as unique as their fingerprint. Therefore, energy healing sessions are tailored to address the specific needs and imbalances of each client. During a session I use a combination of intuition drawing upon a variety of energy healing modalities, I have developed a tailored approach that caters to each individual's unique needs. My sessions may involve a gentle touch, visualisation, and the use of specific energy tools. Through these techniques, I work to identify and clear energy blockages, promoting a sense of deep relaxation, balance, and rejuvenation. Sessions typically last from 60 to 90 minutes


Together, we can embark on a journey to restore balance, promote healing, and unlock your innate capacity for wholeness.






As the days grow shorter and the nights seem to stretch on endlessly, many cultures around the world gather to celebrate the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. This ancient tradition holds deep significance, marking the turning point between the darkness and the light, the end of winter and the promise of spring's rebirth.

 

As the year draws to a close and the days grow shorter, we approach the Winter Solstice, the longest night and shortest day of the year. This ancient celestial event has long been celebrated for its symbolism of rebirth and renewal, marking the turning point from winter's darkness towards the promise of spring.

 

Honouring the Darkness

The Winter Solstice is a time to honour the darkness, not with fear or aversion, but with understanding and respect. Darkness is not merely the absence of light; it is a necessary phase in the cycle of life, a time of introspection, rest, and preparation for the re-emergence of light.

 

As we witness the lengthening darkness during the winter months, we can recognise it as an invitation to pause, reflect, and connect with our inner selves. It is a time to slow down, to shed the distractions of the external world, and to delve into the depths of our own being.

 

Embracing Renewal

Despite the darkness, the Winter Solstice also represents a promise of renewal. As the days begin to lengthen and the sun's energy gradually returns, we are reminded of the innate resilience of nature and the power of transformation.

Just as the earth emerges from its winter slumber and bursts into life with the arrival of spring, we too can harness the energy of the Solstice to initiate positive changes in our own lives. It is a time to set intentions, plant seeds of growth, and nurture the seeds of hope within ourselves.

 

The Significance of the Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice is a time of renewal and hope, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always light and life waiting to emerge. It's a time to reflect on our inner strength and resilience, to connect with nature's cycles, and to find solace in the shared experience of this universal transition.

 

Ways to Celebrate the Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice is a time to slow down, create, and nurture your inner peace. Here are some suggestions for incorporating this energy into your life:

  • Embrace the Darkness: Instead of fighting the darkness, use it as an opportunity to connect with your inner self. Spend time in nature, especially in the early morning or evening when the light is soft and ethereal.

  •  Create a Sacred Space: Set aside a special place in your home to honour the Winter Solstice. Decorate it with natural elements such as pinecones, evergreen branches, and candles, and create a calming atmosphere with soothing music or essential oils.

  • Ignite the Hearth: Light candles or a fire to symbolise the warmth and light that will soon return. The flickering flames can be a source of comfort and inspiration.

  •  Spend Time in Nature: Take a walk in the forest or sit by a lake or stream, and allow the beauty of nature to soothe your soul.

  •  Engage in Creative Activities: Express your inner light through art, music, or writing. Paint, create a vision board, or write a poem or song to reflect on the season's changing energy.

  •  Gather with Loved Ones: Share a warm meal and meaningful conversation with loved ones. Create a cosy atmosphere with warm beverages, traditional foods, and shared stories.

  •  Give Back: Extend kindness and generosity to those in need. Volunteer your time or donate to a cause that resonates with you.

  •  Practice Mindfulness: Take a moment each day to appreciate the small things in life, from the warmth of the sun on your skin to the sound of birds chirping outside your window.

 

Seeking Inner Light

The Winter Solstice reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is always a glimmer of hope and the possibility of new beginnings. By embracing the symbolism of this ancient celebration, we can find strength and inspiration to navigate the challenges of our own lives and emerge from the darkness into the light of new possibilities.

 

Wishing you a peaceful and reflective Winter Solstice. May the light within you grow brighter as you embrace the promise of new beginnings.

 

With love and Yuletide blessings

This special edition newsletter is all about dowsing, the possibilities are endless!

 



A little bit of history to start with.... 

Dowsing is an ancient practice that uses a tool, such as a pendulum or rods, to detect subtle energies and information. It can be used to find water, minerals, lost objects, and even to answer questions about oneself and the world around us.

 

The history of dowsing is long and complex, dating back thousands of years. Evidence of dowsing practices can be found in ancient cave paintings which when carbon dated were over 8000 years old and dowsing tools have been discovered in archaeological sites all over the world.

 

Dowsing was also practiced by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.

 

In the Middle Ages, dowsing was widely used to find water and minerals, but it was also used for a variety of other purposes, such as finding lost objects and treasure. Dowsing was also used to detect evil spirits and geopathic stress zones.

 

During the Renaissance, dowsing became increasingly popular in Europe. Dowsers were hired to find water for new towns and villages and to locate minerals for mining operations. Dowsing was also used by military commanders to find water for their troops.

 

In the 18th and 19th centuries, dowsing began to decline in popularity, due to the rise of science and technology. However, dowsing never completely disappeared, and it is still practiced by people all over the world today.

 

Dowsing has been called by many different names throughout history, including:

  • Divining

  • Water witching

  • Doodlebugging

  • Water finding

  • Dowsing rod

  • Witch hazel stick

  • Virgula divina (Latin for "divine rod")

  • Rhabdomancy (Greek for "rod divination")

  • Geomancy (Greek for "earth divination")

 

The term "dowsing" is thought to have originated in the English West Country in the 17th century, and is derived from the Old English word "dūsian", meaning "to strike" or "to knock". This may be a reference to the way that a dowsing rod is typically held and used.

 

There are many different theories about how dowsing works. Some people believe that dowsers are able to tap into a universal energy field, while others believe that they are simply more sensitive to the subtle energies that surround us all.

 

Whatever the explanation, dowsing is a powerful tool that can be used for a variety of purposes. It is also a relatively easy skill to learn, and anyone can do it.

 

To dowse, you simply hold your dowsing tool in your hand and ask a question. The tool will then move in a certain way, depending on the answer to your question. For example, if you are dowsing for water, the tool may swing back and forth when you are over a water vein.

 

The key to dowsing is to be clear and focused in your questions. You should also be aware of your own body language and biases, as these can influence the results of your dowsing.

 

Dowsing can be a very beneficial tool for both individuals and businesses. For individuals, dowsing can be used to improve health and well-being, to make better decisions, and to connect with their higher selves. For businesses, dowsing can be used to improve productivity, to find new opportunities, and to solve problems.

 

Here are a few tips for getting started with dowsing:

  • Choose a dowsing tool that feels comfortable in your hand. Some popular dowsing tools include pendulums, y-rods, and L-rods.

  • Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.

  • Relax and focus your mind.

  • Ask your question clearly and concisely.

  • Pay attention to the movements of your dowsing tool.

  • Practice regularly.

 

Using Dowsing in Therapy Sessions 

I use Emotional Dowsing Techniques (EDT) in my practice to help clients heal from emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges. It is a way to use dowsing to work with the subconscious mind. EDT can be used to identify and release negative emotions, limiting beliefs, and core wounds. It can also be used to balance the chakras and aura and to promote overall healing and well-being.
