Becoming Acquainted With the Invisible

Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

I remember the first time I received energy work. I was 26 and living in Manhattan. My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for some time and it wasn’t working. At the time, I worked with small children, saw pregnant women every day, my best friend had just had a baby…you get the picture, right? It was in my face. 

I began spiraling down. Each month I didn’t get pregnant, the more depressed I got. One day I felt myself clinging to the edge of a black hole so deep I knew I wouldn’t get out if I let go, so I finally reached out for help. We had already exhausted any answer western medicine could offer and so when I overheard a co-worker of mine talking about her “healer” one day, I asked for her number.

I really had no frame of reference for what energy work meant, but my friend had said it had really helped her with a number of things. I had read Louise Hay and believed my body could heal itself. So, off I went!

Everyone will experience energy medicine in their own way and even different ways each session. My experiences may not be yours. What I experienced was a re-acquaintance with the invisible part of myself. I say re-acquaintance because I believe we are all very in tune with this part of ourselves when we are young. I could feel the energy moving inside of my body and I could feel something shifting. I experienced a connection with myself so deeply that it startled me.

After 3 sessions, I began to see things in my life that were clearly blocking my ability to make room for a new life – but you know what? I was not ready to make those changes. I tried not to go back because I didn’t want to look at those things. I tried to disconnect again. A few weeks later depression hit again, and I went back. 

It took a long time to ease myself out of the patterns that I believed I needed to keep me safe. And that was ok. Each session brought me, slowly, to a new level of understanding. Little by little, things began to clear. Sometimes on their own.  As I stayed connected and supported, my being was shifting as it was ready. Because I was learning to stay connected to myself, even when I became frustrated that things weren’t happening as fast as I wanted, I could acknowledge the pain with getting sucked back into that black hole. This is key because depression slows the flow of energy down even more.

I also began to understand some of the underlying reasons this situation was causing me to experience such pain. I remember at one point saying to my healer “I came here because I couldn’t get pregnant, but there are a lot of other things going on here.”

There is much more to say on this topic, but I’ll leave it here for now. The benefits of establishing a reliable connection with invisible part of yourself are innumerable. In addition to developing a greater relationship with your intuition, it shifts the mind, body and spirit into greater alignment which ultimately leads to a more balanced life and overall wellbeing.

I hope this inspires you to take at least a few moments a day to explore what you cannot see and feel what you find. 

Much love to you,
