How's it go on Paratruthers. Welcome to another episode of
6
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:54.520
Paratruth Reborn. Jessica Howard, Welcome to Paratruth Reborn.
7
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:56.880
Thanks justin. Great to be here.
8
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.799
So, before we dig into a lot of what's in
9
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.960
the book, what got you started with Energy Healing?
10
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:09.439
We'll be honest, it was almost kind of a I
11
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.560
suppose an evolution of my spiritual path without wanting to
12
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.959
sound too cheesy, as opposed to kind of a deliberate decision.
13
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.280
So I'm sure, like a lot of people listening to
14
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.319
this podcast, I was kind of one of those children who,
15
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.480
you know, I could sense energy, I could see spirits
16
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:32.200
and sort of things beyond the physical world. And I
17
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.719
remember being probably about twelve or thirteen and reading one
18
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.000
of those you know, chashy teenage girl magazines and reading
19
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.879
an article on witchcraft and it wasn't something I'd heard
20
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.760
of before, and it just really resonated with me, and
21
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:47.719
I was like, oh, great, there's you know, there's kind
22
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.280
of a term or a path for the sorts of
23
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.879
things that I'm feeling and that resonate with me. And
24
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.239
so that kind of began my journey. And very early
25
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:02.319
on in that journey, I encountered the chakras. This was
26
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.680
this was all way before the internet, so kind of
27
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.400
everything that you had access to was just very much
28
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.919
kind of books, TV, so you know, you didn't really
29
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:16.280
have access to or at least easy access to a
30
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.719
wealth of things. But then from then it kind of
31
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.240
it began to build and build and build. And the
32
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.039
more that I kind of studied and encountered, the more
33
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.439
I thought that energy healing sounded really interesting and kind
34
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.800
of a you know, something that I quite I felt
35
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.680
quite called to. And what I find quite interesting is
36
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.919
that when I made the conscious decision to start studying
37
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.680
energy healing, I realized that actually I've been practicing energy
38
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.199
healing without realizing that what I've been doing was energy
39
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.599
healing in a sense. And I do imagine that's probably
40
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.879
true for a lot of people. So yeah, for me,
41
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.879
it wasn't really a conscious decision to get into energy healing.
42
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.560
It was more of a I suppose a culmination of
43
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.520
the path that I was already on. But yeah, I've
44
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.000
been practicing it, I suppose since I was in my
45
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:07.080
early teens, So that's been over twenty years now, and
46
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:12.199
during that time, it's been really interesting to kind of
47
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:16.199
see how things have developed. Even though twenty years doesn't
48
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:21.319
sound like a long amount of time, so much can
49
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.120
change in twenty years, I've said, when I first started studying,
50
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:27.159
no internet, and now you know, we're dealing with AI
51
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.120
and all other challenges that come with that. And I
52
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.599
suppose that's where the modern element of the book comes in.
53
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.800
It's not just about energy healing, but it's how we
54
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:43.879
take all of those practices and traditions and can adapt
55
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.719
them to our very different way of life without losing
56
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.319
any of their sacredness.
57
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.080
Yeah, and I mean that's actually why I was really
58
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.520
interested in this, because you know, the practices that you
59
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.560
hear about for energy work are practices that have been
60
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:07.439
done over a millennia of human history, and so I
61
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:14.840
was really really drawn to this book, and same with you.
62
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.639
You know, I had done massage therapy like almost right
63
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.480
out of high school. I was around twenty one when
64
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:25.199
I started taking classes for it and stuff but although
65
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.319
you are manipulating the physical in that you are also
66
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.360
doing energy work at the same time, you just don't
67
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.399
even realize it. And it's come to, you know, to
68
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.759
today where I've kind of realized that as well.
69
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.439
Yeah, and I think for a lot of people, I mean,
70
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.519
you know, especially when we're thinking about energy healing, you know,
71
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:49.480
sound healing is also a really powerful form of energy healing.
72
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.959
And that could even be as something as simple as
73
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.000
just having a specific playlist that you listen to when
74
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.720
you need to be cheered up or when you're feeling
75
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.519
a bit down or you're feeling a bit interesting active,
76
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:06.000
and yeah, even going you know, just cultivating a playlist
77
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.480
to suit a specific mood that you're in or trying
78
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.560
to shift your your mood set, that in itself is
79
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.160
a form of energy healing. And so I think, yeah,
80
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.519
there's there's a lot of of that that goes on
81
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.360
that people don't realize that they're doing, which yeah, I
82
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.439
personally find very interesting. Kind of similar to you know,
83
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.000
as you said with the massage, and you're you're actually
84
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.360
engaging with energy healing without realizing it. Like I think
85
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.959
a lot of people think that energy healing is this
86
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:38.480
kind of big, you know, almost kind of unattainable and
87
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:44.560
mystical sort of practice, whereas actually it's it's a lot simpler,
88
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:49.920
and it's it's probably it's a lot more intuitive than
89
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.839
we realize. And yeah, that's that's another aspect that I
90
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.360
find really interesting, which was one of the reasons that
91
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.160
I decided to to kind of write the book was
92
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:02.519
to try and just just help people realize that actually,
93
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:07.000
energy healing is really accessible. And again, as I said,
94
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.839
you're probably doing it without realizing it.
95
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:14.399
Right now for someone who's just kind of starting or
96
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:19.600
showing interest in this type of stuff. What is energy
97
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.680
healing at the simplest terms.
98
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:27.480
So always a really interesting question because there's no one
99
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.199
kind of universally agreed definition of what energy is, let
100
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.439
alone what energy healing is. So I supposed to kind
101
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.079
of start off with what energy healing is or what
102
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:44.079
energy is apologies, So there is a I mean, science
103
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:48.199
has proven that everything is made of energy, and this
104
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:53.079
energy is constantly emotion, it's constantly interacting with kind of
105
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.480
each other, and it cannot be created, it cannot be destroyed,
106
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:01.120
but it is priced in everything everyone of everything we touch,
107
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:09.560
in everything we experience, Now, there is a belief in theosophopy.
108
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.319
I can never pronounce it correctly, but essentially that there
109
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:17.920
is I suppose, different bodies. And this may be something
110
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.360
that people are familiar with. We quite often talk about
111
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:24.040
the physical body and the mental body and the emotional body.
112
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.279
And the idea is that you know, you have your
113
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.000
physical self, which is obviously kind of you know, your body,
114
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.959
what you can see and touch and smell, et cetera.
115
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.639
And you have your emotional body in this is very
116
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.120
much kind of yet your emotional self and responses, and
117
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.560
your mental body, and this is very much kind of
118
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.480
your your intellect and the way that your brain process
119
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:51.000
is information. And these three bodies essentially work together to
120
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:57.800
form the self. So essentially, there is a belief throughout
121
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:03.680
many different cultures, many different traditions throughout you know, hundreds
122
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:06.600
and thousands of years, that there's actually another body, and
123
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:09.600
that is your energetic body. And you can kind of
124
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.680
think about this as your spiritual body. So the idea
125
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:19.240
is that our body is made of energy, and we
126
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:23.079
have these energetic pathways throughout our body, and as well
127
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:27.439
as the energetic pathways, we also have energy centers throughout
128
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.199
our body. Now, it is worth saying that there are
129
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:35.480
many different ways that these different cultures and traditions believe
130
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:40.759
that our energetic body is structured. The energetic pathways and
131
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:47.039
kind of energetic sectors. War Texts is quite a popular one.
132
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.440
We see it with the chakras. We see it in
133
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:54.200
ancient Chinese medicine where they work with the meridians, again
134
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.519
very similar to the chakras. But essentially it's there seems
135
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.879
to be a lot of evidence throughout these different cultures
136
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:04.559
and traditions that we all have these energetic pathways running
137
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:08.519
through our body and these various energy centers, and these
138
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:14.559
various energy centers are often associated with different emotional and
139
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:19.240
mental and physical aspects. So, for example, if we look
140
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:22.840
at the chakras, so it's generally kind of believed that
141
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.320
there are seven main chakras throughout the body, and you
142
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:33.720
can have one that is associated with our physical selves,
143
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:38.159
a stability and security, and then we have one that's
144
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:42.600
associated with creativity, another one that's associated with emotions, another
145
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.840
one that's associated with our confidence and our sense of
146
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:53.200
self belief. And essentially, when this energy is running freely
147
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.720
and it's perfectly balanced within our bodies, then everything works
148
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.720
great and it's perfect and we're in alignment. But if
149
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:04.399
the any point we experience any sort of blockages in
150
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:09.720
our energetic pathways, then these can lead to kind of
151
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:14.720
unwanted or difficult symptoms. And the reason that I speak
152
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:18.039
about the different bodies, the physical, the mental, the emotional,
153
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.440
and the energetic, is because we can see how an
154
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.600
imbalance or an issue in one of those bodies can
155
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.919
also affect the other body. So if, for example, you
156
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.200
think about what happens when you have a cold. So
157
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.240
let's say you know you have a common cold, and
158
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.360
you experience the physical symptoms, so you get the running
159
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.840
nose and you get the sore throat, but you'll also
160
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:44.519
experience mental symptoms such as you know, the brain fog
161
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.840
and not being able to concentrate. And I know from
162
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:50.600
me personally, when I'm feeling quite under the weather, I
163
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:58.559
also experience certain emotional responses, especially feeling kind of very overwhelmed,
164
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.240
very easily, and you know, even the tiniest of inconveniences
165
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.720
can kind of set me off. So we can see
166
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.960
there how all of our different bodies are interlinked. And
167
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.600
it's exactly the same with the energetic body. When we
168
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:19.000
experience blockages within our energetic body. They can have physical effects.
169
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:29.200
We can feel certain kind of physical I suppose apes, pains, illnesses.
170
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:36.360
We can experience mental issues such as problems concentrating, sleeping, etc.
171
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:41.799
And it can also affect our emotions. So ensure energy
172
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.360
healing is just making sure that we are paying attention
173
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:51.320
to our energetic body and taking steps to ensure that
174
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:56.720
we are keeping that healthy and balanced, and we're focusing
175
00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:59.919
on removing blockages so that we can ensure that our
176
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:05.240
energetic healths is one hundred percent, which in turn will
177
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:10.799
affect our physical selves, our mental selves, and our emotional selves.
178
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:14.879
So you can kind of think of energy healing as
179
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:21.559
just another part of kind of health and well being.
180
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.440
Okay, now can anybody do this or is it something
181
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:32.000
that you should be learning to do before you start
182
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:32.399
doing it?
183
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.519
So anybody can do it. And I am going to
184
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.879
apologize in advance because this is a subject that I
185
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.679
can talk for absolute hours on, so I do tend
186
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.399
to ramble on, so to apologize if some of my
187
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.000
answers come across a little bit rambly. But absolutely anybody
188
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.039
can do this. And again going back to what I
189
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:53.799
said at the start, you know, there's a lot of
190
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:58.000
people who are probably practicing energy healing without even realizing it.
191
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:03.159
And the thing is that it is so intuitive, and
192
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.320
the number of people that I've spoken to who practice
193
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:10.759
energy healing or maybe don't even practice energy healing, but
194
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:15.120
they are quite sensitive to energies. Especially when you start
195
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:20.200
talking about things such as cleansing or energetic protection and
196
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.279
different ways that you can do these, you will find
197
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:27.679
that a lot of people were actually practicing these things
198
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:31.360
without being taught them or realizing that, you know, what
199
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.799
they were doing was actually a chined and tested method
200
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:39.399
of doing these things. And even though it is so
201
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:43.919
innate within us, I think a lot of us have
202
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.799
we've kind of just switched it off. And I think
203
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:53.399
that that is in part due to the environment that
204
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.320
we live in. So we live in a very kind
205
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.960
of science focus world. It's very busy. We tend to
206
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:04.480
with logic, and you know, we focus on what our
207
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:07.480
physical senses tell us, and that's what we use to
208
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.919
make all of our decisions, and our intuition is quite
209
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:15.120
often forgotten or ignored. And I'm sure we've all had
210
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.759
those cases where we felt that something is off and
211
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:21.240
we just we couldn't explain why we just felt that
212
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:25.120
something wasn't quite right. And in those instances, we're often
213
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.600
told it's all in your head. Just ignore it. Like
214
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:29.840
you know, you can see, there's no danger, you can hear,
215
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:33.360
there's no danger. Everything's fine. Ignore that little voice and
216
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.879
just just kind of go for it. But actually, when
217
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:40.120
it comes to working with energy and especially energy healing,
218
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:42.519
it's that little voice that you want to listen to,
219
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:47.000
because it's that voice that listens to those those subtle
220
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:51.039
clues in your energy and your body and can let
221
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:55.240
you know when issues are arising before they actually manifest
222
00:14:55.360 --> 00:15:00.360
into physical issues or mental issues or emotional issues. So
223
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.240
it is something that a lot, I mean, everyone can
224
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:09.559
do it, but it is something that can feel difficult
225
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.720
to reconnect with because we just live in a world
226
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.720
where rather than listening to our intuition, we need to
227
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.360
listen to our logic. And yes, we need to just
228
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:22.720
take that step back and take that time to just
229
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:28.240
stop and breathe and focus on listening to our intuition again.
230
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.399
And once you do that, then you'll be really really
231
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:36.039
surprised at how quickly and easily working with energy and
232
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:40.240
energy healing comes to you but absolutely anybody can do it.
233
00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.399
Now, this is something I've asked a couple of people,
234
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:51.159
and I feel that it does have correlation. But how
235
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:55.120
does energy affect our physical and emotional health?
236
00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:01.919
So for me personally, I would kind of go back
237
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:05.279
to the example of, you know, the various different bodies
238
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:09.759
that we have, and again using the example of getting
239
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:12.600
a common cold, you can see how even though we
240
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.480
tend to associate a common cold as being a physical
241
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:19.720
ailment in the sense that you know, the sore throat
242
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.759
and the runny nose, when you think about it, you
243
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:27.679
can also see those emotional aspects, the mental aspects such
244
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.840
as the brainfall or the you know, kind of breaking
245
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:35.360
down every little inconvenience. And in the same way, issues
246
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:39.919
with your energetic body can have an impact on your physical,
247
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:43.360
your mental and emotional self And actually a lot of
248
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:47.000
the time, especially if you're not attuned to energy, it's
249
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:50.879
going to be those physical symptoms or the mental and
250
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:54.519
emotional symptoms that you're going to notice first rather than
251
00:16:54.600 --> 00:17:00.519
anything in your energetic body. So this can manifest in
252
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:05.519
a number of different ways. And I will preface this
253
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:10.720
by saying that if you are experiencing any symptoms that
254
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:14.240
are physical or mental and they're prolonged or they're causing
255
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:16.960
you pain, then absolutely one hundred percent please do kind
256
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:20.680
of see a doctor or seek how a medical professional,
257
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:23.480
just to be on the safe side. But there are
258
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:28.839
many different ways that these can manifest. So for example,
259
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:33.079
if we're thinking about the chapras again, personally, I started
260
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.839
working with the chapras quite early on. It's still a
261
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.160
framework that I go back to when I'm thinking about
262
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:41.160
energy and the body and how that works, and it
263
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.720
is quite a popular one. But again, going back to
264
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:46.839
that notion of there being seven main chakras in the
265
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:51.519
body and each of them having different associations, that can
266
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:54.759
kind of help narrow it down, especially when you think
267
00:17:54.839 --> 00:18:00.799
about the physical symptoms. So you know, for example, if
268
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:04.079
you've got a sore throat and you know there's no
269
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:06.039
real reason for it, so you know, let's say you
270
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:09.200
know you have it been in a very smoky environment,
271
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:12.519
or you're not suffering from a cold, for example, any
272
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:14.880
kind of issues that you might have with your throat
273
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:19.680
could represent a blockage in your throat chakra, which could
274
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:25.559
internally to issues with communication. Similarly, you can flip that
275
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:30.400
around and if you feel like you're struggling to speak
276
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.400
up footwork or at school, or if you're struggling to
277
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.240
be honest with yourself or be honest with other people,
278
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:40.640
then you could say, oh, okay, I'm clearly having an
279
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.400
issue with communication, which if my energy centers is associated
280
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:48.160
with communication, that's the throat chakra. Therefore I should work
281
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:53.599
on my throat chakra. So it's in that everything is
282
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.920
very interconnected, and you will find that issues in your
283
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:02.960
energetic body can manifest themselves in physical ways, just as
284
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.839
physical issues if they're not kind of dealt with, can
285
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.400
affect your your energetic field. And saying with kind of
286
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:15.799
emotional and mental issues that you your difficulties that you
287
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:16.960
may be experiencing.
288
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.839
Now, is there a way to kind of tell when
289
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:26.359
when your body is like out of balance with your energy?
290
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:28.319
Is it just like the physical ill once that you're
291
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:30.039
talking about, or is there other things that we can
292
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:30.640
be looking for.
293
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:35.319
Yeah, there's and honestly, it's one of those that and
294
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:37.799
this is this is kind of both the blessing and
295
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:43.440
the curse of energy healing, is that everybody experiences energy differently,
296
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:48.440
and so it's very difficult for me to say, oh, okay, well,
297
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:50.400
you will feel X, and you will feel Y, and
298
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:53.920
you will feel Z. If you're feeling out of balance
299
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:56.960
or when you're working with energy, you should feel a,
300
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:00.480
B and C. Because there's so many different ways that
301
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.839
people experience energy and connect with energy. That Yeah, so
302
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.400
first off, it's very difficult to say you will definitely
303
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.480
feel this. You will definitely feel that. Once you start
304
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:13.839
to work with energy and really get an understanding as
305
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:17.039
to how you personally connect with it and experience that,
306
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:22.160
it will feel much easier to be able to understand. Okay,
307
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:23.839
you know, I've got an issue here, I've got an
308
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:27.480
issue there. I think one of the best things that
309
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:30.519
you can do to help you understand where there may
310
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:34.920
be imbalances in your energy is just to stop and
311
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:38.559
check in with your body. And it's really surprising how
312
00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:43.240
little that we do this, because I think, especially in
313
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:45.880
this modern day and age, kind of we're we're taught that,
314
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:50.680
you know, just taking some time out for yourself is
315
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:54.640
it's lazy. You know, you were kind of taught that
316
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:57.640
just taking an evening to sit down and watch some
317
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.279
TV is you know, it's lazy. No, you should be
318
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:02.559
doing the dishes or you should be doing the washing,
319
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.279
and you'll even see it with the rise of hustle culture,
320
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.480
which you know, essentially every hobby has to be monetized. Now,
321
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:13.880
you know, it's very difficult to just enjoy something for
322
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:18.160
the sake of enjoying something. But all this does is
323
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.799
just it keeps people so constantly on the go that
324
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:24.720
we feel guilty when we take that step back and
325
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:29.680
just do nothing. And actually doing nothing is a fantastic
326
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:35.720
way to just just stop and reevaluate kind of how
327
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:39.720
you're doing. And it is absolutely incredible, how you know.
328
00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:42.200
And again going back to that, everybody thinks that energy
329
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:47.119
healing is this big practice that must be studied for
330
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.319
years and years before you can actually kind of use
331
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:53.519
it or engage with it, whereas it can just be
332
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:55.799
as simple as saying, you know what, I'm going to
333
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:58.799
sit down for ten minutes and I'm going to turn
334
00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:01.720
off the TV. I'm just gonna sit here and I'm
335
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:05.480
just gonna ask myself, how am I what is going
336
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:07.839
on with me? Kind of you know, how am I feeling?
337
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:12.519
And that in itself is really really powerful And there
338
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:14.759
are other things that you can do if you want
339
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:17.920
to get more into the energy healing side of things.
340
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:19.960
So you know, we have things such as body scans,
341
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:25.000
and a body scan is essentially an exercise where you,
342
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:29.880
as it sounds, you scan your energy and you just
343
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:32.319
kind of, yeah, connect with it and see if there's
344
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:36.400
any places in your energy where there may be blockages
345
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:39.559
and things. Or you could use a pendulum, for example,
346
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:42.240
a pendulum is a really great tool to help you
347
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:46.079
understand where there may be blockages in your body. Essentially,
348
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:50.400
you can use a if you're just doing it on yourself,
349
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:54.559
then you can use a representation of yourself. This may
350
00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:58.160
be you know, a person drawn on a piece of paper,
351
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:00.680
or it could be a stuffed animal, and you just
352
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:05.680
swing the pendulum over the representation and if at any
353
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:09.319
point the pendulum starts to swing erratically, then you know
354
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:13.480
that there is an energy blockage there. So there are yeah,
355
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:17.279
countless ways to kind of check in with your energy
356
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:19.759
and just see where the imbalances are. I mean, there's
357
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:22.920
also you know, various meditations and things that you can do.
358
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:25.720
You could go as far as to visit a healer
359
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:28.640
and ask them to kind of, you know, work on
360
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:31.240
your energy and give you a bit of an mot
361
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:34.759
But honestly, one of the simplest ways, especially if you've
362
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:37.759
never practiced energy healing before, is just to take that
363
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.279
time to just sit down and say, Okay, how am
364
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:44.079
I feeling. Is there anywhere in my body that just
365
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:46.960
feels a bit a bit heavy, or a bit sluggish
366
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:51.319
or a bit achey. Yeah, it's it's And this is
367
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:53.599
one of the things I love about energy healing as well.
368
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:58.319
It can be so simple and effective that it just
369
00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:05.519
makes it so easy for people to really engage with well.
370
00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:09.599
And I'm glad you bring up the pendulum and other
371
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:12.119
tools that you can use, because I think it's something
372
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:16.559
that you could probably do without the tools, but it's
373
00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:21.759
always good to have those tools there just to kind
374
00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:26.279
of reinforce that. And I know there's going to be
375
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:28.720
those people on one side or the other, but I feel,
376
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:32.200
you know, and I love your opinion on this, you
377
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:35.319
should probably start out with tools so you know that
378
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:39.079
you are feeling what you're feeling compared to not. Would
379
00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:41.559
you agree with that definitely?
380
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:45.319
Yeah, And I personally still use tools. I really enjoy
381
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:51.920
using tools generally. I'm quite a physical person anyway, and
382
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.960
you know, I do enjoy using crystals and stones and
383
00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:01.759
incorporating things like tarot into my energy healing practices, and
384
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:05.640
I do find that it's it's a just kind of
385
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:09.400
a way to almost get like an unbiased second opinion
386
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:11.039
and make sure that you're on the right track. But
387
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:13.960
it's a really great way to just build your confidence
388
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:17.000
as well. And I think that the more you do
389
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:19.759
that kind of the lass that you rely on the
390
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:22.519
tools and it is it is a really really great step.
391
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.480
I mean, I have quite a few different tools that
392
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:29.720
I use. I've got crystals that have the reiki symbols
393
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:31.960
carved into them. I'll quite often use them when I'm
394
00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:37.400
doing reiki healings. I have various different grids with different
395
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.599
sacred geometry configurations on them that I'll use in my
396
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:46.599
crystal healing. I have, you know, I use the pendulum again,
397
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:50.559
I use divination in my energy healing. So one of
398
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:54.640
the things that I have is a lithomatsy set that
399
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:58.319
is based around the chakras and the elements, and I
400
00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:01.519
can kind of use that to basically do readings for
401
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:05.480
people to get an idea as to where there may
402
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:08.720
be energy blockages and you know what needs to be
403
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:11.599
done to be able to heal those energy blockages without
404
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:16.920
necessarily needing to tap into anyone's energy, and I find
405
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:20.319
that that's really really useful. Again, a for beginners who
406
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:23.240
may be a bit nervous and maybe aren't sure what
407
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:26.200
they're supposed to be feeling and just kind of need
408
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:29.559
that that reassurance. But also even for you know, myself
409
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:31.920
who's been practicing for a while, there's there's just some
410
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:36.119
times where I'm just feeling a bit tired, and you know,
411
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:39.759
I just kind of want want something that's not so
412
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:43.200
draining on my own energy to be able to perform.
413
00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:45.519
And also, you know, you know, it's times where you
414
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.400
are a little bit unsure, perhaps you getting mixed messages
415
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.839
or you're you're not entirely sure of which direction to
416
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:55.759
take the healing, where yeah, tools can be an absolutely
417
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:59.240
fantastic guide. You know, we all know the saying that
418
00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:01.440
you know, it's it's the healer, not the tools. The
419
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:03.960
tools don't actually do the healing. It's all about you
420
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:08.079
and your intent. But yeah, I personally love using tools
421
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:12.640
and things in my practice, and yeah, I definitely encourage
422
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:16.039
anybody to give them a go because there's so many
423
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:17.559
you can use, and it also just give you a
424
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:19.920
chance to be kind of really creative and just just
425
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:22.799
find something that resonates with you that, Yeah, it's a
426
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:27.319
lot of fun as well to just play around with. Well.
427
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:29.240
I think a lot of people say the same thing
428
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:33.359
about medium Chip too, like that if you're a true medium,
429
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:36.960
you shouldn't need tools. But I honestly feel, yeah, that
430
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:41.480
whether you're using tools or not using tools, yes it
431
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:45.519
is you. But again, those tools are just kind of
432
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:49.920
a reinforcement that it's not your ID that's talking to
433
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:54.000
you or you know whatever. They I feel they really
434
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:54.400
do help.
435
00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:59.839
Yeah. Yeah, as I said, I personally really enjoy using
436
00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:03.839
the and it's it's just again it's quite fun as well.
437
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:06.279
Like one of the reasons that I really love energy healing,
438
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:09.279
and it's part of that is the community, because there
439
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:13.039
is such a nice community around energy healing and people
440
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:15.480
that heal, and you know, half of that is just
441
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:18.720
kind of getting together with other people and talking about
442
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:21.319
the different methods that they use and the different tools
443
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:24.319
that they use, and you know, trying out these things
444
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:28.559
for yourself and sharing that knowledge and yeah, it just
445
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:33.319
it just I think it's really important for progress as well.
446
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:35.519
And I know we kind of touched on that whole
447
00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:40.480
being able to take things and make them more adaptable
448
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:43.160
and relevant to the modern world. But you kind of
449
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:46.400
see it, and I think Reikie's a fantastic example of this.
450
00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:51.039
So you know, reiki was discovered in nineteen twenty nine,
451
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:54.119
I want to say, but yeah, it's in the ground
452
00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:55.920
scheme of things. It's one of the more the more
453
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:02.079
recent forms of energy healing. But if you just look
454
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:06.400
at how it was taught when it was first discovered,
455
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:09.720
you know, about one hundred years ago, to how it's
456
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:14.799
taught now, and there's been so many additions and different
457
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.599
ways of practicing it that have kind of ensured that
458
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:22.039
it remains relevant. And even just thinking the past kind
459
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.000
of three years, five years, I'm seeing kind of new
460
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:28.240
and innovative ways that people are using reiki. And half
461
00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:30.039
of that is, like, you know, the different tools that
462
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:34.680
they're using. And yeah, it's not only interesting, but I
463
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:37.519
feel in a sense it's kind of necessary to keep
464
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:41.119
these things relevant and keep people interested and ensure that
465
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:47.400
they're remaining kind of within our consciousness.
466
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:53.599
Now, I've been practicing meditation for a while, but how
467
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:59.440
does meditation fit into doing energy work? And on top
468
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:04.240
of that, in our modern lives, which I feel are
469
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:06.839
much more busy lives than in the past, maybe not.
470
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:14.000
How how can you incorporate meditation into your work?
471
00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:20.400
I love meditation, yeah, and meditation is I mean, you
472
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:22.359
can say it goes hand in hand with a lot
473
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:27.880
of spiritual pursuits, but especially energy healing. And again, one
474
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:31.000
of the main reasons is because you know, as we've
475
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:35.559
already talked about, we tend to switch ourselves off from
476
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:40.400
our intuition and the kind of ability within ourselves to
477
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:44.319
be able to connect with and understand energy because we
478
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:50.799
are constantly so busy, We're constantly you know, bombarded with information,
479
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:54.599
and we're constantly trying to rely on our logic and
480
00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:59.400
our physical senses to interpret this information. And you know,
481
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:02.079
we don't all our selves the time to just sit
482
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:05.839
down and stop and listen. And that's where meditation for
483
00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:12.480
me personally comes in. Meditation is a deliberate kind of
484
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:16.359
I suppose it's it's a deliberate promise to yourself that
485
00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:20.000
you know, okay, just for five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes,
486
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:22.240
an hour, I'm going to sit here and I'm just
487
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:25.000
going to focus on myself, and I'm going to listen,
488
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:30.240
and I'm going to put my needs first. Meditation is
489
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:33.359
again one of those things that I think people think
490
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:36.920
is a lot more difficult than it is, or they
491
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:42.720
assume that it's something that is more difficult than it
492
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:48.079
needs to be. I personally have always said that just
493
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.200
spending five minutes a day in meditation is much more
494
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.160
benefit beneficial than trying to spend an hour in meditation
495
00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:59.839
once a week, you know, little and often is definitely
496
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.559
the best approach. And when you start to practice things
497
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:07.480
such as meditation, I mean, there's there's so many benefits
498
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:11.559
outside of energy healing, just the fact that it grounds
499
00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:16.079
you to the present, It helps you kind of focus,
500
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:20.519
and you know, especially if you're incorporating breathwork into it,
501
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:24.759
you know, it can really help improve your general kind
502
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:28.559
of physical health and well being, as well as kind
503
00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:33.279
of how you deal with stress and difficult situations. But
504
00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:37.960
in terms of the energy healing, meditation is a really
505
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:43.000
great first step to just help you just stop and
506
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:48.519
lessen and connect with the energy that you have inside
507
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:51.599
of you and be present in the moment, because I
508
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:55.759
think that is again another reason that things such as
509
00:32:55.880 --> 00:33:00.519
energy healing can feel very difficult is because a lot
510
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.960
of us we're constantly thinking about the future, whether that's
511
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:06.480
you know, what we're going to have for dinner tonight,51200:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.319
or you know, trying to remind ourselves put the washing51300:33:09.400 --> 00:33:11.359
on when we get home, or you know, we find51400:33:11.359 --> 00:33:13.519
ourselves thinking about the past, like you know that that51500:33:13.640 --> 00:33:16.599
really silly thing that we said in a conversation last week,51600:33:16.759 --> 00:33:19.799
And it can be very difficult to feel present in51700:33:19.880 --> 00:33:23.559
the moment, and especially for energy healing, being present in51800:33:23.599 --> 00:33:28.279
the moment is extremely important. So, yeah, meditation is a51900:33:28.400 --> 00:33:33.640
great way to just a make sure that you're taking52000:33:33.759 --> 00:33:36.960
that break and you're listening to yourself and be ensuring52100:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.680
that you're grounded in the present moment so you have52200:33:39.799 --> 00:33:43.880
that awareness of how you're feeling in that present moment.52300:33:47.160 --> 00:33:49.960
Now, there's always going to be those skeptics out there,52400:33:50.119 --> 00:33:53.200
for those that are going to say, you know, energy52500:33:53.240 --> 00:33:56.960
healing isn't real. It's a lot of bubb gusts, Like52600:33:57.599 --> 00:33:59.480
how would you respond to something like that?52700:34:01.319 --> 00:34:04.039
Honestly, I kind of get it. Like. One of the52800:34:04.079 --> 00:34:09.119
reasons that energy healing is known as as an alternative52900:34:09.159 --> 00:34:12.800
practice or a non mainstream practice is because there isn't53000:34:12.840 --> 00:34:19.199
any hardcore or like you know, definitive scientific study that53100:34:19.360 --> 00:34:23.800
says one hundred percent. Yes, reiki works or crystal healing works.53200:34:23.960 --> 00:34:26.880
And again, because we live in a society that is53300:34:26.960 --> 00:34:32.840
governed by by logic and science, it's you know, we're53400:34:32.840 --> 00:34:37.119
taught to just completely disregard anything that doesn't have that53500:34:37.320 --> 00:34:42.039
scientific stamp of approval. So, you know, I completely get it,53600:34:42.079 --> 00:34:45.199
and I also completely get some people saying, you know,53700:34:45.280 --> 00:34:48.760
it's it's probably a placebo effect, or you know, it's53800:34:48.800 --> 00:34:51.760
just basic psychology. And you know, if you if you53900:34:51.840 --> 00:34:54.320
tell yourself that you're more confident, then you're going to54000:34:54.360 --> 00:34:59.920
become more confident. But my argument is if it helps,54100:35:00.280 --> 00:35:06.960
then like does it really matter if it works in54200:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.239
a sense, And I'm trying to think about the best54300:35:09.280 --> 00:35:14.559
way to kind of explain this, but energy healing is54400:35:16.079 --> 00:35:19.039
it is something that we use to improve our health54500:35:19.039 --> 00:35:23.000
and well being. We use it to improve our confidence.54600:35:23.119 --> 00:35:27.719
We can use it to ensure that we are feeling54700:35:27.840 --> 00:35:34.079
grounded and balanced and present and confident. And by working54800:35:34.280 --> 00:35:38.960
with energy, it encourages us to also make changes in54900:35:39.159 --> 00:35:41.280
other parts of our lives. So you know, let's say,55000:35:41.280 --> 00:35:45.320
for example, that you you know you want to improve55100:35:45.519 --> 00:35:48.960
your your communication style. You know, perhaps you know that55200:35:49.039 --> 00:35:52.800
you really struggle to communicate effectively because you're quite shy55300:35:52.880 --> 00:35:55.159
and you're quite timid, and so, you know, the more55400:35:55.199 --> 00:35:57.000
that you work with let's say, you know it's a55500:35:57.079 --> 00:36:01.159
throape chakra, going back to the chakras, and you know,55600:36:01.239 --> 00:36:03.719
you do, you start to feel more confident, and you55700:36:03.760 --> 00:36:06.480
start to put yourself out there, and you know, you55800:36:06.519 --> 00:36:08.760
start to stand up for yourself, and you start to55900:36:08.800 --> 00:36:11.280
be more confident in what it is that you're you're56000:36:11.280 --> 00:36:14.519
communicating with people. You know, perhaps that means that you56100:36:14.679 --> 00:36:17.159
finally get that promotion at work because you're being a56200:36:17.159 --> 00:36:20.880
bit more you know, to the point and forward. And56300:36:22.079 --> 00:36:26.199
I personally think that so long as it is something56400:36:26.320 --> 00:36:31.159
that is helping you and improving your well being, then56500:36:31.320 --> 00:36:36.119
it works. We don't need to talk about the you know,56600:36:36.199 --> 00:36:39.840
the scientific breast principles behind it. We don't need to56700:36:39.840 --> 00:36:42.880
strap someone to a table and you know for various56800:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.920
wires across them and measure electrical impulses or anything like that.56900:36:47.039 --> 00:36:50.639
Like the main purpose of energy healing is to improve57000:36:50.719 --> 00:36:53.360
your health and your well being and your your sense57100:36:53.400 --> 00:36:58.599
of self. And if practicing energy healing does that, whether57200:36:59.079 --> 00:37:04.039
because it's a pacebo effects something psychological or you know,57300:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.639
maybe it is energy, and you know that that is57400:37:07.840 --> 00:37:11.360
kind of the diving force there. Then as long as57500:37:11.400 --> 00:37:14.039
it's not harming anyone, then just give it a go.57600:37:14.199 --> 00:37:19.000
And I genuinely think as well that again going back57700:37:19.000 --> 00:37:23.800
to that concept that we very rarely take time for57800:37:23.840 --> 00:37:26.719
ourselves because we tend to feel guilty, we tend to57900:37:26.719 --> 00:37:33.239
feel lazy. Like energy healing is basically us telling ourselves that, no,58000:37:33.360 --> 00:37:37.239
I'm putting myself first. I'm going to take fifteen twenty58100:37:37.320 --> 00:37:39.719
minutes an hour out of my time and I'm just58200:37:39.760 --> 00:37:41.840
going to focus on my own health and well being,58300:37:42.840 --> 00:37:50.599
and that in itself is such a necessary step to yeah,58400:37:51.199 --> 00:37:53.599
really kind of managing our own health and well being.58500:37:53.639 --> 00:37:55.880
That even if that is all you get out of it,58600:37:56.000 --> 00:37:58.679
even if at the end of it you say, actually,58700:37:58.920 --> 00:38:01.000
I don't believe in shakra and you know, I don't58800:38:01.039 --> 00:38:03.920
believe in reiki, even if at the end of it58900:38:04.039 --> 00:38:10.119
you have still gotten into the habit of feeling allowed59000:38:10.320 --> 00:38:14.840
to take that time out for yourself, then absolutely, it's59100:38:14.920 --> 00:38:17.000
you know, it's it's done his job. Energy healing is59200:38:17.039 --> 00:38:20.159
doneished job. So yeah, so appreciate I've probably rambled a59300:38:20.159 --> 00:38:24.199
little bit there, but whilst I can understand the skepticism.59400:38:24.639 --> 00:38:29.599
I would personally say that there's just so many benefits59500:38:29.719 --> 00:38:33.480
to giving it a go that you you can't really lose.59600:38:34.360 --> 00:38:38.159
Right well, and you've already mentioned it too, that science59700:38:38.199 --> 00:38:41.760
has proven that energy, we are made of energy, that59800:38:41.800 --> 00:38:48.559
we have a bioethereal field around us. So if we59900:38:48.840 --> 00:38:51.400
have that, or even if you think of it as60000:38:51.440 --> 00:38:55.760
bioelectrical field, same difference. If you think of it as that,60100:38:56.159 --> 00:39:00.280
then how could you not realize that you have to60200:39:00.360 --> 00:39:04.559
heal that field sometimes, just like you have to repair60300:39:05.360 --> 00:39:10.519
an electrical outlet or repair your electronics because sometimes they60400:39:10.519 --> 00:39:15.400
break down. So I mean, yes, healthy skepticism is good,60500:39:15.920 --> 00:39:18.840
but for me just to say it's outright not real60600:39:20.519 --> 00:39:25.400
kind of borders on your being cynical more than skeptical.60700:39:26.719 --> 00:39:29.039
Definitely, Yeah, And that's why I say just just give60800:39:29.079 --> 00:39:31.119
it a go. Like even if you think it's something60900:39:31.159 --> 00:39:33.559
that you know you're gonna foo foo the idea of61000:39:33.639 --> 00:39:35.679
and you don't believe in it, then yeah, just just61100:39:35.719 --> 00:39:39.039
give it a go, because at the end of the day, Yeah,61200:39:39.440 --> 00:39:42.599
if if you're still determined not to believe in it,61300:39:42.679 --> 00:39:45.519
but you have at least taken some time out to61400:39:45.920 --> 00:39:48.599
focus on yourself. Then that's that's probably better than you61500:39:48.639 --> 00:39:50.440
were doing before given your attitude.61600:39:50.559 --> 00:39:57.360
So, now, have you ever seen any results from doing61700:39:57.480 --> 00:40:00.480
this energy work where you're just like, wow, you know61800:40:00.679 --> 00:40:04.199
that kind of reinforces why I do what I do.61900:40:06.320 --> 00:40:10.480
Yeah, And to be honest, most of those are I've62000:40:10.519 --> 00:40:13.320
had this question a few times, and I think people62100:40:13.400 --> 00:40:18.400
kind of expect me to give this like big life62200:40:18.519 --> 00:40:22.480
changing epiphany sort of moment, you know, the breakthrough sort62300:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.679
of moment, and actually most of the time it's been62400:40:26.639 --> 00:40:33.519
a culmination of smaller instances that you kind of have62500:40:33.760 --> 00:40:37.559
this awakening isn't the right word, but just this sudden62600:40:37.639 --> 00:40:40.559
realization of kind of oh, no, this is right, this62700:40:40.639 --> 00:40:45.239
is exactly where where I'm meant to be. I think,62800:40:48.400 --> 00:40:53.960
I think one of the most powerful kind of effects62900:40:54.039 --> 00:40:58.000
that I felt from it. And it is very interesting63000:40:58.039 --> 00:40:59.880
when I kind of think about, you know, because I've63100:41:00.199 --> 00:41:02.320
kind of on this path for like over twenty years now,63200:41:02.320 --> 00:41:04.559
and it is very very interesting when I look at63300:41:04.639 --> 00:41:08.119
kind of certain things that have happened throughout my life63400:41:08.199 --> 00:41:11.239
and think, oh, okay, well, you know, if I'd reacted63500:41:11.280 --> 00:41:14.480
to that completely differently, because I, you know, had no63600:41:14.800 --> 00:41:17.519
concept of energy or anything, then you know, I could63700:41:17.559 --> 00:41:21.199
see things taking a very very different path. But for63800:41:21.320 --> 00:41:28.400
me personally, it's it's all about those those little changes63900:41:28.480 --> 00:41:30.719
that you make. And again, this is this is kind64000:41:30.760 --> 00:41:35.440
of where that that idea of it being for modern64100:41:35.480 --> 00:41:41.800
life comes into because we we all we all want64200:41:41.800 --> 00:41:44.079
to be the best version of ourselves. And you know,64300:41:44.159 --> 00:41:46.320
we're I'm sure that we've all been there many many64400:41:46.320 --> 00:41:47.840
times where we say, you know, we're going to start64500:41:47.840 --> 00:41:49.920
this new diet or we're going to give up this64600:41:49.960 --> 00:41:52.119
particular advice, and you know, we're going to do X,64700:41:52.239 --> 00:41:54.320
Y and Z, and we we're going to go to64800:41:54.360 --> 00:41:56.519
the gym five mornings a week. And you know, we64900:41:56.639 --> 00:41:59.119
start and we're full of energy for all of about65000:41:59.159 --> 00:42:01.079
two or three days, and then we do it for65100:42:01.119 --> 00:42:03.079
like two weeks and we realized that, oh that was65200:42:03.119 --> 00:42:05.039
way too much, and we just kind of give up.65300:42:05.920 --> 00:42:11.880
So those kind of big gestures very rarely work. And65400:42:11.960 --> 00:42:18.199
I've always kind of found that just integrating smaller aspects65500:42:18.440 --> 00:42:21.440
kind of yet little and often and then just building65600:42:21.480 --> 00:42:25.199
on those has a much more prolonged and powerful effect65700:42:25.840 --> 00:42:28.599
than those you know, what we'd assume would be a65800:42:29.079 --> 00:42:33.599
big kind of gesture or a big I don't know,65900:42:33.679 --> 00:42:37.760
you know, meditating on a mountain top for seven days66000:42:37.800 --> 00:42:41.079
and fasting kind of thing. I think for me, one66100:42:41.119 --> 00:42:49.119
of the biggest results that I've seen has been more66200:42:49.159 --> 00:42:52.840
to do with kind of my own mindset and my66300:42:52.960 --> 00:42:59.000
own outlook than anything else. So I think, especially when66400:42:59.039 --> 00:43:05.480
you're looking at energy healing, it comes from place or66500:43:05.480 --> 00:43:09.039
it kind of helps you cultivate a mindset of gratitude66600:43:09.239 --> 00:43:12.719
and compassion, and it sounds like one of those things66700:43:12.719 --> 00:43:17.800
that shouldn't be that's uh, that rare, but especially in66800:43:17.840 --> 00:43:21.159
this age, and I think you know, a lot of66900:43:21.159 --> 00:43:23.280
people have commented on it that you know, we're seeing67000:43:23.280 --> 00:43:26.079
a lot of this, especially since COVID, where we seem67100:43:26.119 --> 00:43:30.320
to have moved very much from a community vibe to67200:43:30.639 --> 00:43:34.920
quite an individualistic vibe. You know, it's very me me67300:43:34.920 --> 00:43:40.559
me rather than us US now. And I think for67400:43:40.599 --> 00:43:47.800
a lot of people having that that kind of individual me,67500:43:47.800 --> 00:43:49.800
me me mindset, if you've got, like you know a67600:43:49.840 --> 00:43:52.480
lot of people that have that mindset, then obviously you're67700:43:52.719 --> 00:43:58.239
going to have a very siloed and secluded kind of67800:43:58.400 --> 00:44:01.880
community or environment around you, and it can be very67900:44:01.920 --> 00:44:06.159
easy to respond to that in kind. If everyone's being68000:44:06.440 --> 00:44:09.079
a bit kind of rude and a bit kind of standoffish.68100:44:09.239 --> 00:44:11.480
Then yeah, it's very easy to think, well, I'm going68200:44:11.519 --> 00:44:14.000
to be rude and standoffish as well, and you know68300:44:14.119 --> 00:44:17.199
that's that's not great for your mindset. So, you know,68400:44:17.440 --> 00:44:21.599
I started kind of deliberately when I was in situations68500:44:21.639 --> 00:44:24.480
that were causing me frustration or stress or you know,68600:44:24.599 --> 00:44:26.519
especially living in a big city. I live in one68700:44:26.559 --> 00:44:28.760
of the big city, the biggest city in the UK,68800:44:29.320 --> 00:44:31.079
and even just trying to get from point A to68900:44:31.079 --> 00:44:34.199
point B it can be extremely frustrating sometimes. But just69000:44:34.280 --> 00:44:37.400
kind of taking a step back and rather than reacting69100:44:37.559 --> 00:44:42.360
to those inconveniences with annoyance or anger, just trying and69200:44:42.559 --> 00:44:45.039
actually appreciate, you know, kind of taking a step back69300:44:45.079 --> 00:44:49.719
and approaching them from a place of compassion and understanding69400:44:50.280 --> 00:44:54.119
really did a lot to change my mindset and just69500:44:54.199 --> 00:44:59.039
kind of generally make me a lot more grateful and69600:44:59.440 --> 00:45:02.239
able to kind of see the positives and things. And69700:45:02.280 --> 00:45:05.360
I do think that if a lot of people did69800:45:05.440 --> 00:45:08.880
that then we would be in a much better place.69900:45:09.119 --> 00:45:12.599
And especially once you've kind of you've shifted your mindset70000:45:12.639 --> 00:45:15.639
like that, you start to notice all of those those70100:45:15.840 --> 00:45:19.239
tiny instances and it can be something really small, like70200:45:19.280 --> 00:45:21.760
you know, the traffic lights turning green as you're you're70300:45:21.800 --> 00:45:24.760
about to cross the road and kind of feeling genuine70400:45:25.679 --> 00:45:29.960
gratitude for that, like and I think it's it's those70500:45:30.760 --> 00:45:35.280
small instances that have made more of a difference than70600:45:35.480 --> 00:45:39.840
any kind of one big aha moment during a meditation70700:45:40.000 --> 00:45:42.679
session or a rape session, if that makes sense. I70800:45:42.679 --> 00:45:45.000
know that was quite the question that you were asking,70900:45:46.079 --> 00:45:51.719
but yeah, for me personally, I think that that the71000:45:51.880 --> 00:45:56.599
small actions that you can do constantly and build upon71100:45:56.719 --> 00:46:01.760
are probably more important, more attainable, and more impactful than71200:46:01.920 --> 00:46:06.119
just kind of that that one big moment. Sir.71300:46:06.400 --> 00:46:14.360
Yeah, Now, in your opinion, what is the biggest or71400:46:14.679 --> 00:46:19.679
a couple of the biggest misconceptions people have about energy work.71500:46:23.360 --> 00:46:25.320
It's definitely one that I know we've touched on a71600:46:25.360 --> 00:46:27.960
couple of times, which is that, yeah, energy work is71700:46:28.000 --> 00:46:37.079
this this big kind of spiritual, difficult to obtain sort71800:46:37.159 --> 00:46:40.639
of practice that you know, if you want to become71900:46:40.679 --> 00:46:43.840
an energy healing then you have to make a pulgrimage72000:46:43.840 --> 00:46:47.559
across a desert and into the mountains and then fast72100:46:47.599 --> 00:46:51.119
and meditate for twenty days before you're you're blessed with72200:46:51.159 --> 00:46:55.440
the sacred knowledge of energy healing. Yeah, I think that72300:46:55.679 --> 00:47:01.880
is It's definitely one of the biggest misconceptions that I hear,72400:47:01.960 --> 00:47:05.800
because again, as we said, you know, energy, it's within everyone,72500:47:05.880 --> 00:47:08.880
It connects us all. We all have the ability to72600:47:10.039 --> 00:47:13.000
connect with this energy and use this energy and heal72700:47:13.079 --> 00:47:16.639
this energy. And it is really quite simple as long72800:47:16.679 --> 00:47:19.199
as you kind of put the effort into doing it,72900:47:19.280 --> 00:47:23.599
and you don't need any fantcy rituals or big ceremonies.73000:47:23.639 --> 00:47:26.559
It can just be as simple as you know, taking73100:47:26.599 --> 00:47:30.079
five minutes out to meditate and just just focus on73200:47:30.119 --> 00:47:33.039
your energy and how you're feeling. So I think for me,73300:47:33.639 --> 00:47:37.400
that is definitely the biggest misconception that it's this yeah,73400:47:37.519 --> 00:47:44.239
big kind of unattainable or unapproachable practice. I would say.73500:47:44.280 --> 00:47:53.360
The other one for me is, oh, again kind of73600:47:53.360 --> 00:47:55.880
similar to that that you know, you need to spend73700:47:56.079 --> 00:47:59.679
a lot of money to do it, and I know73800:47:59.800 --> 00:48:04.320
in reiki we have the concept of lineage, so essentially73900:48:04.880 --> 00:48:06.920
it used to be the case and it is still74000:48:06.960 --> 00:48:10.000
the case actually in some instances that you need to74100:48:10.039 --> 00:48:14.519
be able to trace your lineage back to the founder74200:48:14.760 --> 00:48:17.760
of reiki. And you know, if you can't do that,74300:48:17.880 --> 00:48:23.360
then essentially you know you're in some circles your looks74400:48:23.400 --> 00:48:26.239
down upon if you can't trace your lineage back. And74500:48:26.280 --> 00:48:32.519
I think that there is this this misconception that that74600:48:32.599 --> 00:48:36.159
stuff matters, because to be honest, that that stuff doesn't74700:48:36.280 --> 00:48:41.639
really matter. I mean, there can be a lot of gatekeeping,74800:48:41.760 --> 00:48:45.360
and I do understand again thinking about that, you know,74900:48:45.559 --> 00:48:50.679
try how do we adapt these sacred techniques into modern75000:48:50.760 --> 00:48:53.679
day without losing that sacredness. And you know, obviously there's75100:48:53.719 --> 00:48:59.280
been many conversations over the years around appropriation versus appreciation,75200:49:00.039 --> 00:49:03.920
and that does absolutely apply in energy healing as well.75300:49:04.480 --> 00:49:08.400
But I do find that there is this misconception, and75400:49:08.440 --> 00:49:12.119
it's probably one that does grind my gills a little bit,75500:49:12.199 --> 00:49:14.920
which is that you know that notion of you you75600:49:15.039 --> 00:49:18.079
need to be able to prove your lineage and prove75700:49:18.239 --> 00:49:24.400
your training and yeah, proof that you've done things in75800:49:24.440 --> 00:49:30.239
a very specific way that may not be compatible or75900:49:30.280 --> 00:49:33.519
even that relevant to kind of how things are today.76000:49:33.639 --> 00:49:37.519
So I think for me personally, those are my two76100:49:38.400 --> 00:49:42.840
biggest bug bears in terms of misconceptions that people have.76200:49:42.960 --> 00:49:48.440
And again, I think the other misconception that people tend76300:49:48.440 --> 00:49:51.599
to have is that you need to be a kind76400:49:51.639 --> 00:49:56.559
of spiritual whacko or whatever to believe in energy healing.76500:49:56.599 --> 00:50:00.559
I mean, I know a Christian woman who practices reiki.76600:50:00.719 --> 00:50:04.440
She's absolutely fantastic with it, you know, very very kind76700:50:04.519 --> 00:50:09.519
of you know, Catholic lady, but still practices reiki. I76800:50:09.599 --> 00:50:15.360
know people in you know, the science kind of careers76900:50:15.480 --> 00:50:20.199
who practice energy healing, sound healing, crystals, et cetera. So77000:50:20.320 --> 00:50:22.960
I think as well that you know, another misconception is77100:50:22.960 --> 00:50:27.159
that you need to be the stereotypical hippie to practice77200:50:27.320 --> 00:50:30.880
energy healing, because actually, you know, it's so accessible to everyone,77300:50:30.960 --> 00:50:34.599
and you really do experience people from all walks of77400:50:34.639 --> 00:50:38.159
life that are engaged with and practicing energy healing that77500:50:38.320 --> 00:50:41.320
it truly is something again that anybody can do.77600:50:44.000 --> 00:50:48.360
All right, now, we are a getting close to the end,77700:50:48.400 --> 00:50:50.880
but I wanted to ask you this this last question77800:50:51.000 --> 00:50:56.800
before we wrap up. What is your hope that people77900:50:56.840 --> 00:51:01.519
get from energy healing from modern life?78000:51:01.920 --> 00:51:05.519
Oh that's a really good question. So when I when78100:51:05.519 --> 00:51:10.079
I wrote the book, my main I suppose my main78200:51:10.119 --> 00:51:11.960
goal around all. The reason that I wrote the book78300:51:12.159 --> 00:51:14.719
was because I mean, there's there's loads of books out78400:51:14.760 --> 00:51:17.280
there on chakras. There's loads of books out there on78500:51:17.360 --> 00:51:21.159
crystal healing, there's loads of books out there on auras,78600:51:21.800 --> 00:51:25.599
But for somebody who's just getting into energy healing for78700:51:25.639 --> 00:51:29.280
the first time, I personally had never really been able78800:51:29.360 --> 00:51:33.159
to find a resource that was kind of like an78900:51:33.239 --> 00:51:35.920
overall beginner's guide that kind of said, you know, here,79000:51:36.039 --> 00:51:40.000
here are the various different things that you should look into,79100:51:40.280 --> 00:51:44.760
and would give a enough information that you could kind79200:51:44.760 --> 00:51:47.000
of say, oh, okay, I'm interested in reiki or you know,79300:51:47.000 --> 00:51:48.960
I want to learn more about cleansing, and then be79400:51:49.000 --> 00:51:52.719
able to go off and you know, research more about79500:51:52.760 --> 00:51:55.880
those things. So the idea behind writing the book was79600:51:56.000 --> 00:51:58.679
very much to just kind of give a bit of79700:51:58.719 --> 00:52:02.639
a one stop shop for beginners coming into energy healing,79800:52:02.719 --> 00:52:06.280
to give them a complete overview of energy healing and79900:52:06.360 --> 00:52:08.400
what's involved in it, so they could kind of go80000:52:08.480 --> 00:52:11.000
off and then you know, choose the things that really80100:52:11.039 --> 00:52:14.719
resonated with them and go and do more research. So80200:52:14.800 --> 00:52:18.519
I suppose what I'm hoping to achieve with the book80300:52:19.000 --> 00:52:22.199
is just giving people who are a little bit interested80400:52:22.280 --> 00:52:25.039
a place to start, because I think energy healing is80500:52:25.079 --> 00:52:28.480
becoming a bit more popular and a bit more mainstream,80600:52:28.800 --> 00:52:31.519
and you know, we're kind of seeing it with you know,80700:52:31.599 --> 00:52:34.760
phrases such as, you know, good vibes only, and you know,80800:52:34.800 --> 00:52:37.880
you'll see on the front of magazines things like, you know,80900:52:38.800 --> 00:52:43.039
headlines around removing toxic people from your life. So I81000:52:43.079 --> 00:52:46.639
think it is something that is becoming a bit more mainstream.81100:52:46.760 --> 00:52:49.760
But yeah, it can be difficult to know where to start,81200:52:50.079 --> 00:52:53.599
especially because it is such a huge subject. So I'm81300:52:53.679 --> 00:52:58.719
hoping that it will provide people with a starting point81400:52:58.800 --> 00:53:01.480
to just get the the basics that they need to81500:53:01.559 --> 00:53:05.280
then be able to pinpoint two or three things that81600:53:05.280 --> 00:53:08.880
they're interested in and go on and kind of continue81700:53:08.880 --> 00:53:12.320
their journey, but also to kind of show people that, yeah,81800:53:12.440 --> 00:53:17.440
energy healing is not this this big, unattainable practice that81900:53:17.480 --> 00:53:21.360
you need to spend hours every single day practicing before82000:53:21.440 --> 00:53:24.039
you can actually use it. You know, it is something82100:53:24.079 --> 00:53:28.000
that can so easily be incorporated into our everyday lives82200:53:28.039 --> 00:53:36.119
and the benefits can be so profound that honestly everybody82300:53:36.159 --> 00:53:40.039
and anybody can try it should try it. And yeah,82400:53:40.119 --> 00:53:43.760
I hope that it just breaks down some of those82500:53:43.800 --> 00:53:48.719
misconceptions and yeah, gives gives more people. I suppose that82600:53:48.920 --> 00:53:57.039
yet that platform to get involved in it from.82700:53:54.480 --> 00:53:56.719
All right, well, thank you so much for being on82800:53:56.840 --> 00:54:01.760
Pear Truth Reborn before I as you go, tell everybody82900:54:01.760 --> 00:54:03.559
where they can find you and find your work.83000:54:04.760 --> 00:54:13.000
Yeah, so the book is available via most big kind83100:54:13.000 --> 00:54:17.079
of publishing companies and bookstores. I have to admit I'm83200:54:17.199 --> 00:54:20.840
not too familiar with the booksellers out in America, so83300:54:21.119 --> 00:54:25.960
I can't recommend any specific ones. But yeah, Otherwise, I83400:54:26.000 --> 00:54:29.760
have a couple of websites, so I am actually a83500:54:29.800 --> 00:54:34.480
practicing pagan as well as an energy healer. I've had83600:54:34.480 --> 00:54:37.199
a couple of books published previously which are more around83700:54:37.280 --> 00:54:39.599
subjects to do with paganism. But I do keep my83800:54:40.320 --> 00:54:43.440
paganism and my energy healing quite separate because, as I said,83900:54:43.480 --> 00:54:46.920
you know, energy healing is so accessible that I don't84000:54:46.960 --> 00:54:49.519
want it to kind of be, you know, tied up84100:54:49.559 --> 00:54:52.880
with the paganism sort of things. So I have one84200:54:52.920 --> 00:54:56.880
website for the pagan side of things, which is www84300:54:57.000 --> 00:55:01.760
dot The Cottage Mystic dot tom, and then for the84400:55:01.920 --> 00:55:06.639
energy healing I have www dot Modern Energyhealing dot co84500:55:06.800 --> 00:55:11.519
dot UK. I'm also quite active on Instagram. It's basically84600:55:11.559 --> 00:55:13.960
the only social media that I use, but my handle84700:55:14.039 --> 00:55:17.199
there is the Cottage Mystic, which I also have my84800:55:17.239 --> 00:55:21.079
own YouTube channel where I release guided meditations, so I84900:55:21.159 --> 00:55:25.000
