When I do energy work with others, either individuals or groups, my experience is much more profound, emotionally and physically - that is if I want to open to their streams (more on that choice another time). If my solo meditations are a four piece quartet, when I am with four or more other people, it becomes a symphony. I do energy healings with a partner, whose energy complements mine in a way that we can only describe as covering longitude and latitude. I bring energy into the room, and she spreads it out through the person’s energetic field. Physically, I am usually blasted back against my chair, as I am opening three energy streams at once: mine, my healing partner’s and the person requesting healing. My body and neck are usually forced backwards as the energy streams enter the room above the client(s), goes straight into my heart center, which is truly the emotional hot spot of each human being. We mistakenly think our brain and our thoughts are the most important parts of our humanity, but it is our feelings, and they dwell in the heart center. Thus, the healing energy that is not meant for me must bypass my head and my thoughts and perceptions, so it is literally pushing my head out of the way. So, while I am in this backwards contortion, the energy enters my heart center, then zooms across the room through the heart center of the client and into the heart center of my partner. Then it completes the triangle by returning back to the top of the room. And the energy flows through this triangle at a ever-changing rate for 8-10 minutes. Instead of my usually inhale/exhale pattern, I am being breathed during this time, in extremely shallow breaths that are actually quite comforting. At times, my heart is in real physical pain as the stream works to soften and open the painful emotional patterns of the client; often my partner cries as a release of this person’s emotional scar tissue. The power of the stream is a good indicator to me of how the person is doing, whether they are closed or open, whether they have a strong or weak life force, but, really, what happens in our healing session is between the client and the energy stream. I do not need to know more details and it is not my place to know. I trust that our guide and masters and higher selves know exactly what to do and will do it for us. We are just creating a space for asking and allowing. When our guides are done, they let me know by pushing a huge exhale or air through my lungs. It cleanses me of any accrued energy, and brings me back to my body and my being.
And, every time, my partner and I look at each other in amazement. Every time it is profound, and every time, we are so grateful that we get to do this.
