Half the work of being a healer is learning how to keep your instrument clean. Self-healing, purification, continual growth and development are all ongoing chapters on the Healer’s Path.

I’ve noticed that self-doubt is surprisingly — or maybe unsurprisingly — common among healers. Perhaps it’s because the work we do deals with the unseen: the subtle shifts, the invisible energies.

Most people who receive energy healing sessions do so when there's pain, sorrow or suffering of some kind.

But what if I told you that energy healing is not only for when you're feeling unwell or suffering in some way, but it's also a great preventative measure as well?

Sometimes, the atmosphere in a space can feel heavy, draining, or unsettled without an obvious cause. Learn how negative energy can linger in your home or office and influence how we feel, think, and even heal.

Energetic hygiene is a broad and important topic—one that I feel doesn’t get enough attention in the healing arts. Today, I want to focus on one of the more common challenges healers face: energetic cords.

Many people who are attracted to the healing arts tend to enjoy giving to others. Supporting people on their healing journey is incredibly rewarding. However, while many healers are good at giving to others, receiving can sometimes be an issue.

There are many reasons why our immune system can take a hit. I’m writing this series of articles specifically for those of you who have recurring viruses, colds, etc. and have been dealing with ongoing stress, anxiety, fear, or other emotions for some time. This also includes those of you who have been doing a lot, running yourselves too thin and haven’t had enough time for self-care.

If you find yourself frequently falling sick, catching every cold, flu, and bug that's going around, this article may be for you. If you've worked with me, you know I approach health and wellness from various angles. This month, I’ll be releasing an article every Tuesday with ideas on supporting the Heart Chakra for a healthy immune system.

Sleeping in certain directions can affect our sleep in different ways. Some directions provide healing, while other directions can be draining on the body and mind. Sometimes the structure of the bedroom may be a factor as well, including what is above, below or on the other side of your walls.

Right now, wherever you find yourself reading this, inhale, inhale again, and inhale some more. How long can you keep inhaling for? Not too long. Meditation is to inhale. If we are meditating regularly and not doing any service, tithing or volunteer work we will eventually quit our practice or struggle to do it regularly. The reason being is that when we meditate, we are building up an excessive amount of energy. The body can only handle so much energy before it becomes 'full' and we no longer feel like doing our practice anymore. It's the natural instinct of our system.

For better or worse, our thoughts, speech and actions are determined by whatever chakras are the largest on our energy body.

For those of you wishing to partake in the Group Healing on Winter Solstice, here are a few suggestions on how to prepare for it.

I will be doing a mass group healing this Winter Solstice which falls on December 21st this year. The actual moment of the solstice will be quite early - 3:38am my time to be exact. So I’ll be starting the healing at 8:00am MST. The entire mass healing will take about an hour or so.

I will be focusing the healing energy for good health, long-life, inner peace, joy, happiness, abundance, prosperity and good fortune.

Whatever chakra is dominant on our energy body, for better or for worse, will govern our personality. A large Heart Chakra bestows on us virtues such as kindness, generosity, compassion, understanding, non-stealing. It blesses us with the ability to love our family, friends, community … those around us. It raises us into higher emotional states such as love, joy, happiness and inner peace.

As we declutter our homes, offices and yes even those big purses (that I too LOVE) we increase the flow of life force not only in our health, mind, and well-being but also in our space as well. An increase in life force results in all good things - on all levels. More life force for the body means greater health, the ability to heal faster as well as an increase in vitality. An increase of life force or prana for the mind results in greater clarity, ability to think, focus, see your target, and know what steps to take to get there.

Anger is one of the quickest emotions to dirty our system. Energetically, the quality of anger is extremely sticky - and heavy. As a result it tends to clog our chakras, our energy channels (where our life force flows through) and dirties our organs and other physical systems. Explosive anger can create tears in our energy body (aura) and chakras, which then can expose us to darker negative energies that are not our own. Our energy body is our natural born psychic shield and we need it fully intact.
