Have you ever experienced the simple yet profound act of healing through touch? Perhaps you’ve touched your own hurt body part, and found yourself feeling a sense of relief. Or maybe you’ve witnessed a mother holding, kissing, or caressing her child to ease their discomfort. These everyday experiences are rooted in the innate healing power that resides within all of us.
The truth is, everyone can give and receive healing. It all starts with our own personal experiences. When we hurt ourselves, we instinctively touch the hurt part of our body to ease the pain. This simple physical action sends healing energy to the afflicted area. However, if we take a moment to relax and place our hands on the hurt part for a little longer, we can experience deeper healing. By paying attention to these everyday experiences, we can start to recognize our own unique healing quality.
Our energy and touch can vary immensely depending on our state of being. If we are energized, joyful, or calm, our energy and touch will be far more pleasant than when we’re in a bad mood. In essence, how we are in any given moment is expressed through our energy. When we learn to regulate our body, mind, emotions, and energy flow, we can start using our energy for healing. This is essentially what healers do. They learn to perceive and regulate their energy for healing.
The practice of laying on hands for healing has been around as long as there have been human beings. Ancient cultures were aware of the healing power coming from their hands. Each culture has its own way of describing healing or the life force energy. For instance, the Indian system of Ayurveda describes it as Prana, while the Chinese system of Traditional Medicine calls it Qi or Chi. Regardless of the framework or traditions, healing energy in different cultures is believed to reside in the human energy field, commonly referred to as the aura.
When we look back at our everyday experiences, we can see how our unique essence has a healing quality that is uniquely ours. Simply put, the gift of healing resides within everyone. By learning to tap into our innate healing quality, we can start to give and receive healing more effectively. We can learn to regulate our energy, understand our unique essence, and use it for healing purposes.
The gift of healing is within each and every one of us, waiting to be awakened. By understanding the unique essence that radiates from us, we can learn to tap into our own healing quality. Through the simple act of touch, we can send healing energy to ourselves and others. By becoming mindful of our state of being, we can regulate our energy flow, and start using it for healing purposes. In essence, the practice of healing is within us all. All we need is the willingness to explore it.

Hello Michelle. I’m interested in your Reiki Level 1 & 2 courses, but would like additional information on the scheduling of courses. I emailed you a couple of weeks ago, but have not heard back. My name is Bridgette, and I’m in the Spiritual Sisters of the Flathead Valley Facebook group. Thank you.
Hello lovely! I sent you an email!
