How long does energy healing take to work?

June 30, 2024

I was reminded this week about how much more the subconscious knows than I could ever guess.


In particular, I'm thinking of the magic that seems to take place in my Assessment Session. How your subconscious just knows how long it will take the energy healing to work.


If you haven't yet worked with me, let me explain: during your first session with me, you'll let me know what the issues are that you want to work on. It could range from anxiety to chronic back pain to an intolerance to gluten to a tense relationship with a family member to everything and anything in between! The list is essentially endless. 


At the end of the session, your subconscious will spit out the number of sessions it will take to heal the issue(s) to at least 90% (if not 100%). Or, as far as my skills can get you. (Let's be fair, I'm not God, so I can't promise to be able to get everything to 100% healed. But, I'm very good at what I do, so we should realistically make good progress regardless.)


How does it come up with this answer? I don't have any idea. Your subconscious just knows. It knows what baggage needs to be healed. It knows the best order to approach the healing work in order to get the fastest results. (For my knitting or crocheting friends out there, if you've ever found your yarn all knotted, you know that you can't always unravel the yearn from one end to the other directly; you often need to work different areas, loosening it here or there, so it can then disentangle more easily. The same with the emotions, beliefs, and life events tangled within the subconscious mind.)


To be honest, the accuracy continues to astound me. It's not always 100% correct, but it seems to be spot on at least 95% of the time.


The funny thing, though, is that is seems to account for unexpected surprises, too!


What do I mean? Let's say an assessment suggests we will need 5 sessions for a particular client, but just before the second session takes place, the client had an unexpected issue come up with a neighbour that left them discombobulated. It's not unusual that the subconscious will "interrupt" our treatment plan to work on a "current issue" that is troubling my client in the moment.


How does this unexpected detour affect our treatment plan of 5 sessions?


Typically, it doesn't.


Somehow, the subconscious knew we were going to take that detour, and it built it into the treatment plan. It's freaking amazing to me whenever I see it happen! 


Then there's other times where we think the problem is solved, but we still have sessions left on the treatment plan.


I had something like this happen again in the last week.


A client had come to me with severe anxiety. On a regular basis it would come on so strongly and suddenly as to be debilitating at work. He was afraid he might lose his job as a result.


He felt really great after our Assessment Session, like the panic attacks had been healed. The assessment suggested he would need 2 additional sessions, though.


A few days later, the panic was still there, so he purchased the 2 sessions that were recommended. 


Again, after our first follow-up session, he felt the same as the first time - we had eliminated the belief "It's too much for me to take" and by the time we were done, he couldn't even remember what a panic attack felt like! It felt so very distant to him yet again.


He seemed to be feeling so good even I wondered if my assessment had been wrong. Maybe we wouldn't need the other follow-up session? But after a few days, the panic came back just as strongly.


We just had the final session. It has been a few days and the panic has been there, only this time much less frequently than usual, and also only briefly. This feels much more like the energy is finally working its way out of his system. Like we have reached the end this time. Exactly on schedule.


The subconscious knows.


I've taken it as a reminder, too, that healing doesn't always happen overnight. And it is not always as straightforward as we would like. Sometimes it feels like we take a step forward and then two back.


The thing is, you need to keep plugging away at it. You'll eventually get there.


Do you sometimes wish you could get to the root of your own issues and heal yourself? (Or just go straight to healing events in your past that you know are causing you problems now?) Do you feel like you have so much healing to do that it would cost a fortune to work through it all with me or another practitioner?


Then consider taking my How to Heal From Your Past course!


For less than the price of a single standard ART session, you can get access to over 5 hours of online video training and 6 hours of virtual, in person training with me to teach you the foundational techniques behind the practice of ART.


The material taught in this course is equivalent to everything I knew in my first two years practicing as an energy healer!


My first course offering is starting next week, at 1-4pm EST on July 7th and 14th.

The Move That Broke Me (Literally) For the past several weeks (months!) I have been in the process of moving houses. OMG! The longer you live in one place, the more “stuff” piles up. I quickly discovered that purging under a deadline is exhausting! My advice? Do yourself a huge favor: let go of anything you haven’t used in years. Clearing clutter isn’t just good for your home, you'll feel emotionally lighter, too. Decluttering aside, after a big day of moving furniture and all the other heavy or bulky things that required a truck, every muscle in my body was sore. My back, legs, arms—even my wrist—were screaming in pain. Climbing one flight of stairs felt like scaling the CN Tower. I felt completely wrecked. At an emotional low, everything I tried took me 3-4 times as long as normal. Moving through life at half speed, I was really not myself. This was 3 weeks ago. I expected at least a few days of soreness, but weeks later the pain persisted. I hate popping pills, but I was taking BOTH Tylenol and ibuprofen every morning just to get through the day. Yikes! The Line Between Physical Healing and Spiritual Healing You might be wondering: If I’m an energy healer, why didn’t I just “fix” myself? Here’s the truth: physical injuries need physical time to heal. Muscles, ligaments, bones—they don't heal in an instant. The physical body is relatively fragile, and needs care to keep it in working order. That said, it is truly remarkable in its ability to heal. I’ve always said that if broken bones are able to knit themselves together in 6 weeks, there is really nothing in the body that should take over 3 months to heal. But when pain lingers beyond the normal healing window, it’s often tied to something deeper: an emotional or spiritual block. So, if healing doesn’t happen in that time, one should then look to a spiritual cause either preventing healing from taking place, or more often, preventing the pain from going away, even through the body itself may already be healed sufficiently to be pain free. When my pain stayed intense after two weeks, I knew there was more to it than just overworked muscles. The Subconscious Connection: Feeling “Old” Working with the subconscious means everything is symbolic. In my case, the pain and fatigue I was feeling was accompanied by a single thought: “I feel old.” That thought immediately made me think of my mother, who recently turned 93! She had just broken her calf while traveling—right in the middle of my move! While I took out time to help prepare her house so she could recover at home, with everything else going on, I felt guilty that I wasn’t doing more. Like I'm a bad daughter for prioritizing my own life ahead of my mother's. And my own pain was only exacerbating my inability to do anything about it. Healing With ART (Accelerated Release Technique) Once I recognized the feelings at the root of my issue, I used my own Accelerated Release Technique (ART) to release the guilt and shame that I had been carrying. While there was a little more to it, after about an hour of ART, the mental fatigue disappeared completely and my physical pain drastically improved. Thank heavens! While my wrist is still tender, that's on me. There has still been lifting and schlepping stuff from my old home to my new one, and this past weekend was spent setting up my son’s new space for his next few years at university in Waterloo (hence more lifting and schlepping!) so I likely have a physical injury that hasn't been given a chance to heal. The rest of me, however, feels like my old - young - self! I can run up stairs, bend, and move freely once again without pain. Yay! Why This Matters for You Pain does not have to be part of aging. The subconscious mind holds powerful keys to healing emotional pain, physical discomfort, and spiritual blocks. Once you release the hidden beliefs and emotions weighing you down, your body and mind can return to their natural state: healthy, whole, and free. I believe it is everyone’s divine right to be healthy, happy, whole, and abundant. And with knowledge of ART, you can take your healing in your own hands.

More important than exercise or nutrition in managing weight is the emotional connection. This is just one example of the myriad causes for excess weight.

This is a story that recently took place in a class with one of my students. We had been discussing one of the most important things to take care of at the start of a session: reducing interference. When we start a healing session, we always connect with our guidance team (i.e. Spirit Guides) to make sure that they are "on board" with what we want to work on. There are a few reasons they may try to stop us. Sometimes they are merely reflecting back to us a belief system, of where we were unaware, that needed addressing. And at other times, they could literally have their own trauma being triggered, and that needs to be healed before we can move forward. Either way, without the cooperation of our guidance team, trying to solve issues can take far longer than it should because we are so vulnerable to their potential sabotage. More recently, I have added to the Accelerated Release Technique a requirement to check on the client's Inner Child as well for the very same reasons. I was demonstrating "how to start a session" using this one student as a volunteer and, not surprisingly, as this always seems to happen when I am hoping to demonstrate a new concept, we immediately got to see interference in action: my student's Inner Child decided to be a hindrance. We began the session with a particular problem in mind, but her Inner Child was having none of it! When asking if we would be allowed to receive "concise and timely answers" during the session, we received a definitive "no." Put another way, her inner child was literally telling us that she was going to put forward answers that would take us on a meandering route to our solution. Assuming that this Inner Child just needed some healing so that she would then acquiesce and step aside so we could continue to address our intended issue, I continued along that vein, finding out what the Inner Child needed. It was only a matter of a few minutes when the word "allergies" popped up and I was led to start shifting that energy type. And then it hit me. My student has mentioned in the past that she has a gluten sensitivity and that that was something she was keen to work on eventually eliminating with ART. OMG! Her Inner Child basically wanted to be able to eat a cookie! (And bread, and pie, and cake...and all the yummy foods she had felt she was missing out on.) She literally hijacked the session because that was what she wanted us to work on - and because she had the power to do so. That revelation came as class was ending, so apparently my student's homework is to work on her gluten sensitivity, or else her Inner Child will never give her any peace... And as her teacher, I can't wait to hear how it goes! Do you feel like your Inner Child might be running the show in your life? If you'd like to take back your own power, book a Discovery Call with me and I can help get you back on track. Or consider learning the Accelerated Release Technique and you can do it yourself.

Wondering if you're crazy? You're not. You don't have a medical problem, you've got a spiritual one. And the answer to heal lies in your mind itself.

The voices in your head aren't you. I was in the middle of doing prep work for completely overhauling my ART training over the next month and I realized that the above was something that I understood from the thousand(s?) of sessions I have done, but have never put into words. The voices in your head are not you. There is only one YOU in your head. That's the one THINKING. Asking questions. Making decisions. The one who knows what you want and don't want. So, who is calling you names? Making nasty comments? Saying things that you know aren't true? Or aren't how you really feel? I refer to these chatterboxes in your head collectively as "the peanut gallery." They fall into one of 3 categories. Something that was a part of you, but split off and is no longer "attached". Something that was never part of your energy. Or it's your inner child. If it's your inner child, that is the childlike part in every one of us that keeps us young, and they need some soothing. We all live with a younger version of ourselves inside. But this younger version has it's own needs and wants, and you have to learn to work together to live harmoniously! If it was never a part of you, it's some kind of energetic interference. Someone else - whether living or dead - is invading your space. It could even be your spirit guides themselves, believing that they are protecting you with that belief, or they themselves need healing and they are imposing their beliefs upon you. Most of the time, we just take the few moments we need to heal them so they no longer feel it necessary to interfere. And then there are the ones that were once a part of you. These are typically referred to as Alters. These were formed out of trauma. As a result of a traumatic experience, the body coped by splitting off the trauma into a separate segment in an attempt to "contain" it. These segments have their own consciousness and belief system...therefore they no longer truly represent YOU. People with dissociative identity disorder (DID. Formerly called multiple personality disorder) have Alters that are so imbued with trauma energy that they can occasionally "take the drivers seat" and during those times, "You" are relegated to the background. As such, people with DID will often have large gaps in their memory when an Alter had taken over. The wild thing is, everyone has Alters. It's only in DID that the trauma is so overwhelming for an Alter to be able to take control. You can speak to Alters. Find out what they need in order to heal. Once they are healed, they can integrate back into the whole. (ie. become part of you once again) And once you address all of the "personalities" that have appeared, the peanut gallery finally becomes quiet. For this week's story, while I was working with a client she suddenly shared that she felt like people want what she has, and wanted her to suffer...while all she wanted was peace. Her subconscious told me that that feeling wasn't the one we were supposed to work on, though. That that was actually symbolic of something else in her life...somewhere else that there was suffering and she wanted peace. She then told me "there's a part of me that wants to die." She clearly hears it say "I want to die." We both know that's not what she really wants. It's a voice in her head. In moments, I discover it's an Alter. This Alter was suffering and wanted peace. This is what we were being directed to heal. Once they are discovered, healing an Alter is actually rather straightforward and simple. So within a few minutes, the peanut gallery was quiet. She no longer needs to hear those words in her head again. What a relief! If you find this as fascinating as I do, then consider learning ART! There is a 5-week, live training course with me (conducted over zoom) and a couple of smaller prerequisite courses.
