1) How Does Energy Healing Work?

An important concept behind any sort of energy healing is that our universe is extremely complex—far more complex than we'll ever know simply by investigating with our eyes and ears. For instance, many people feel a sense of peace when they spend time in nature; there is something about natural settings that is different from even the most beautiful artificial environments, even those that imitate nature. That "something" can be thought of as the energy of the plants, animals, and the land—life-energy that can't be replicated with plastic or styrofoam.

Likewise, the human body has a life-energy that cannot be replicated by artificial materials, and that life-energy can either be healthy or unhealthy, just as one's ciculatory system can be healthy or damaged. The physical body is dependent upon these life-energies that can be sensed but not usually seen, so when someone is ill (physically or emotionally), directing positive, healthy energy to the body can transform that unhealthy energy, which leads to a change that can be seen, felt, and experienced.

2) Isn't That Just a Little Crazy?

Given my background in math and science, I do find it hard not to wonder from time to time if I've totally lost it. However, the results speak for themselves—I have been amazed by the health and vitality that energetic practices have given me, and I feel largely liberated from the suffering that has weighed upon me for most of my life. In addition, I have many friends in the community who constantly amaze me with their ability to transform themselves and their lives with the help of energy healing. And of course my clients give me the most heart-warming feedback on the benefits they've received by working with me, so if crazy is defined by doing what works despite others saying "it shouldn't work," then yes, I am crazy.

3) How Does Distance Healing Work?

The nice thing about energy healing is that energy, like light or electricity, travels fast! Also, because it is so subtle, it is also less "dense" than visible light, so it travels relatively easily. However, the biggest difference is that there is an innate intelligence to the energies that I work with, and they follow my intention as if they were an extension of my body. So all I have to do is to intend to have a particular person(s) as the recipient(s) of the energy, and as it comes through my system it naturally goes where I direct it, wherever that person may be.

4) Is It Ever Dangerous to Use Energy for Healing?

In some cases, yes. For instance, if you are trying to use the body's natural energies to heal or increase your vitality, and you do it incorrectly, you can damage yourself. It's similar to what might happen if you tried to lift 500 lbs without any prior training. I hear of this most often in cases where someone is trying to work with their kundalini energy without proper guidance, and they develop strange symptoms like persistent itchiness or tingling, hot and cold flashes, insomnia, etc.

However, there are certain healing energies that do not originate from the practitioner, but instead are channelled through the practitioner. Assuming that it is indeed a positive, healthy energy—such as Reiki or Vortex light —it cannot be improperly used; it simply runs until it is no longer needed, and then it stops.

5) What Healing Modalities Do You Use?

Although I reguarly draw upon my training in ch'i gung, Reiki, and Life Coaching, my primary modality is VortexHealing® Divine Energy Therapy. This is an extremely comprehensive system that has solutions for the most intractable physical and emotional issues. What makes it so effective is its ability to transform physical matter by bridging divine consciousness directly into the roots of human suffering. It is something that cannot adequately be described in words, but must be experienced directly.

6) What Can I Expect from a Healing Session?

Before a healing session (distance or local), I will talk to you for a few minutes to answer any questions you might have, and to set the intention for the healing. You can ask to work on a specific personal or physical issue, or we can leave it up to the Divine to choose what would be most appropriate. Once you are comfortable, for most of the rest of the session I will send healing energy to you, releasing various sources of conditioned suffering. At the end, we will talk again so I can tell you what happened, and answer any questions you might have.

Typically, my clients feel some sort of energy, or waves of energy, passing through them. You may see images or have a stream of thoughts or emotions pass through your consciousness. You may even have physical reactions, spasming to some extent as blocks are released. You may remember certain events in your life that you haven't thought of in a long time, or even things that never happened to you in this lifetime. In the end, you may feel that something has changed or shifted, but it has shifted at such a deep level that you can't identify exactly what it is. As you integrate the experience over the following days, you may find that you don't react to situations in the same way that you used to, or that you are more relaxed or energized than you ever remember feeling.

However, I should warn you that you may have a brief period of time in which you feel worse than you did before the healing. This is just old junk working its way out of your life, and it's a natural part of the healing process that usually passes within 1-3 days. Once it has cleared, you will feel a new sense clarity and openness.

Whatever you feel directly after the healing, you will slowly integrate into a new way of being and experiencing the world. The immediate experience of relief may fade over time, but because the root cause of one or several karmic dramas has been permanently removed, you will never suffer in the same way again.
