Ten
years into my nursing career, I worked with a patient who was
challenging in his emotional intensity as well as his diagnosis.
Through working with him, I was able to “see” chakras.
Before that, I had never heard of the word. I immersed myself in
learning about chakras and Eastern medicine.
During my work in the hospital, I began to “see” what a
liver/heart/pancreas/ brain dysfunction “looks “ like
on many levels. In this way, I created a very complementary
training for myself. I also learned what health “looks”
like. I learned about and focused on health during that time
instead of disease.
I learned that before disease ever manifests in the physical body,
it is starting in the emotional and energy body. Negative thoughts
create dis-ease when they recur over time.
In 1999, I became a Reiki Master. In my client practice I focus on
exploring the thought patterns that create ill health, as well as
explore health/life habits and balancing of the chakras, or energy
centers.
Health has since come to mean to me a balance of all facets of our
Self. It doesn’t always mean an absence of disease but a
balance between the energy we put into the world and the energy we
are open to receive. It is the way we metabolize, generate and
maintain energy.
