My First Step



I deeply appreciate the people who are interested in the work that I do.  It can get lonely walking the path of an energy healer/spiritual teacher, and there have been times when I have felt like backing up and taking another road, but then someone will ask me a question or express an interest which lifts my spirits and motivates me to continue moving forward. 
Five years ago, I had no clue what energy healing even was.  I have been passionately interested in alternative medicine and natural health for many years.  I had already healed myself of a mental disorder and skin cancer with the help of a brilliant medical doctor and gifted naturopath using natural healing methods.  Those experiences left me feeling pretty feisty and powerfully in control of my own health care.
I became interested in the human energy system after reading Donna Eden’s book,  Energy Medicine.  I was fascinated by the eastern concept of disease: that it is simply due to a blockage somewhere in the energy system.  Even emotional and mental issues are viewed as discordant energy or blocked energy flow.  I thought to myself…how simple…restore energy flow and the body/mind will heal.
I was online looking for information one day when I clicked on the Quantum Touch® web page.  I had no idea what Quantum Touch® even was, but I immediately looked through the practitioner list and sure enough there was one in Oklahoma.  I signed up for a workshop and brought my husband along.  He would do anything for a weekend get-away with his favorite girl:) 
Quantum Touch® is a method of hands on healing.  It is achieved by using breathing, focus, intention, and visualization to direct energy.  I would recommend anyone who is interested to go to their website and read about it.
We were in a class with about 7 or 8 other people.  The afternoon of the first day we split up into pairs.  Of course, my husband was my practice partner.  We’d been instructed in how to look at the body and check for structural misalignment.  One of the really neat things about Quantum Touch® is you can actually align structure….yep…move bones!
I looked at my husband, and his head was not on straight, and neither were his hips.  He was experiencing a lot of lower back pain.  His left hip was much higher than the other which caused him to wear the heel of his boot at an angle, and made it so he could not point his left foot straight.  He had been to our chiropractor who had been unable to adjust or manipulate the hip, so he’d put him in a pair of custom shoe inserts to assist him to walk level. 
Workshops are fun places to learn new things.  Since my husband was so uneven, everyone wanted to watch as I tried out my skills.  I started with his head.  I simply placed my hands where the instructor told me to, and I breathed the way she told me to.  And…sure enough…his head straightened up. 
I then moved to his hips.  He was really crooked.  One hip was at least an inch and a half higher than the other.  I knelt behind him so my eyes could be level with his hips; I put a hand on each hip, and again breathed the way I’d been taught.
After about four breaths, I saw the left hip move down… a lot!  I turned to my classmates and said, “Wow!  Did you guys see that?”  Not only had they seen it, my husband felt it.  He told me that it felt as if his hip had melted into place.  He said as it moved, it felt as if someone tugged on his jeans. 
Had that experience occurred with any other person, I probably would have come home and not really believed what I’d seen.  It is easy to dismiss miracles…but this one happened to my husband, a no-nonsense man who has never bought into stories of fairies and unicorns.   If it is a miracle to him…you can bet your last dollar…it is miracle! 
From that day forward, he could point his toe straight, he experienced less low back pain, and every pair of boots he has owned since have worn evenly. 
From that day forward, I was hooked on energy healing.  There are many methods and modalities of energy healing.  I am trained in, practice and teach a few.    I have witnessed and have experienced many miracles since then, but the memory of that first one stays etched in my mind.    
Beginning in December, Laurie Frans and I are giving ½ day workshops on a variety of different energy healing techniques. We will cover a range of different energy medicine and energy psychology techniques.  We are calling them First Saturday Classes as they are scheduled for the first Saturday of each month.  They will last from 1:00-5:00pm at our offices located 1100 E Main, Suite 300, Weatherford, OK, and the cost for the classes is $40.00 per person. The class for December is on Self-Care.  We will be offering some tips and teaching techniques to help you get through the busy holiday season with less stress.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful to actually experience the Peace and Joy of the season?    
Interested persons can message me here through Facebook or call or text me at 580-774-5891.  Feel free to share this story of my first step with anyone you feel could benefit. 
 
Blessings for a beautiful Thanksgiving,
