Being in nature is a way that most dramatically can help people feel at one with the universe. Think of the inner peace that comes from having time to be quiet and draw on the energies of the mountains, the flowers, the sun... this inner peace is a connection that you make with yourself and your world as you allow your 'thinking' life to melt away. You connect with the true essence of yourself, and your internal energy balances and softens. It is meditation. Physically tangible changes occur in your body and, in this state, whether it lasts a few seconds or many minutes, your capacity for healing yourself and others is great.
What happens when a butterfly lands on your shoulder? A sense of beauty and awe that is a gift and reminds you that you are a part of something. The butterfly benefits from your response too. It is a communication of love through energy exchange.
How do you feel when you watch children (especially your own) or animals? A heart connection, a pouring out of love, a sense of awe at their 'innocence'? This 'innocence' is that they are still able to access their inner peace (much better than we can now that we have responsibilities and daily stresses).
If we can recreate this feeling wherever we are, draw on our resources to 'empty ourselves' and connect to something greater than our own day to day life, we can release the stresses that close off our intuitive nature.
We use our innate intuition often but don't often stop to realise its power.
When we hurt ourself we intuitively grab or rub or otherwise put our hands to the wounded area. When our child is hurt we caress, hold, rub. The healing lies not only in the touch but is made possible by the love of the giver.
How do you feel when a loved one kisses your head? Takes your hand? Smiles? An uplifting of your spirits, a heart connection.
As long as we can give freely of our love and compassion to others, whether we know them or not, we have the capacity to allow them great healing.
We should always be mindful that we do not actually heal someone. We allow them the space, time and love to begin their own healing.
If you are feeling emotionally fragile and someone touches or hugs you, often you cannot help but dissolve into tears. If someone offers a safe place to release our tensions and sadness we do. That was a healing touch or a healing hug, because it was heartfelt and the intent of the giver was to be present to you. That's healing with touch.
In an emergency situation, we often find that we are able to remain more calm and clear than we could ever have imagined. It is not just adrenaline that causes this apparent phenomena, it is our true strength, and a trust in our own capabilities that we tap into. We work with the situation and do not rationalise and worry ourselves into non-action as we might ordinarily do.
Healing with energy is not 'using up' your own energy and becoming drained. This is a common misconception, and can happen if this is the way you try to use it. We don't give away ourselves. We don't heal another. We need our energy to remain clear and strong and loving in order to help another. Instead, by emptying ourselves enough to allow the healthy flow of energy within us and through us, we use the freely accessible and never-ending supply of universal energy to help balance our own energies and those of the person we are helping.
Practice feeling energy in your body, in your hands. Find someone to practice with. Touch yourself when you hurt. Touch others when they hurt. You cannot cause harm if your intent is loving and healing.
If you are going to practice often, it is wise to find a way to 'protect' yourself from taking on too much.
Although you should not fear this process, it should be treated with due respect and care. Energy work does affect the physical body, sometimes profoundly, so any body that would be adversely affected by, for example, an increase in blood or lymph circulation needs to be treated with extra care. Seek advice if you need it.
