Energy Healing
There are a multitude of energy healing practices. Most forms of energy healing work with "life force energy" or "divine energy," with the intention of "clearing" or "healing" or "awakening." As I have stated elsewhere on this web site, I believe healing comes from within and that a healer is simply a catalyst for the inherent movement toward peace and health.
The energy healing methods I have been trained in (besides, of course, CNT/Applied Chi Kung) are Reiki, Vortex Healing Energy Therapy, Biodynamic Cranial Touch, and Source Awareness (as taught by one of my
mentors, Alexandra Marquardt). Although I usually allow whatever energies want to come through, I do use specific energies when I'm called to during a session. You may also request I use one specific energy if you like (e.g. a reiki-only session).
Energy healing can also be done at a distance. If you would like distance sessions, please call or email to schedule appointments and send payment by paypal (you don't need an account) to alchemyhealingarts@gmail.com.
Reiki
Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) can be translated as meaning Universal Life Energy or Universal Life Force. It is the intelligent, loving energy of creation - the energy that animates and makes up everything in the universe - and can be used as healing energy by channeling from a practitioner to a recipient.
During a reiki treatment, you relax, fully clothed, while the reiki practitioner holds her hands on or above various locations on your body. Some practitioners use a set sequence of hand placement, while others work intuitively, placing their hands where they feel drawn in the moment. As an intelligent energy, the reiki flows wherever it is required - there is no need to direct it or to know where it is "supposed to go." Many people feel reiki as warmth or tingling, and others who are particularly perceptive may even see reiki and/or its effects. Most people find reiki sessions extremely relaxing.

VortexHealing® Energy Therapy
VortexHealing® is an energetic healing modality based on the philosophy that all of life is One; everything is one consciousness expressing itself in myriad forms as creation. As beings experiencing life, we begin to believe that these forms, including our human form, are truly separate from one another. We lose touch with the fact that life is an experience, and that what we are experiencing at any given moment is not necessarily the Truth of who or what we are.
In fact, we become so attached to the notion of being unique and different that over time, all parts of our human system become conditioned by a sense of separation, causing us to create issues and situations that reinforce the idea that we are incomplete. Self sabotage, for example, can work subtly to keep one in various patterns of struggle - financial, relationship, stress - in order to maintain a sense of being unsafe, unworthy, or unloved, therefore causing us to constantly be drawn outside of ourselves to seek the thing/person/situation that will make us whole. Physical pain can be maintained in order to reinforce the notion that the world is hostile, or that we need to be punished, or that we need more attention, or...
VortexHealing® works deeply at the roots of our issues to release this conditioning. By releasing the energetic structures we have created to maintain our illusions, an awakening to our true nature as One can occur, and in that awakening all of the stories we've made up about ourselves must dissolve.
From the VortexHealing® web site:
"The philosophy of VortexHealing®is that all of our problems and issues arise from the fact that our basic experience of separation, of experiencing ourselves as a particular being that is essentially separate from everything else in creation and separate from the Universal Source of creation, creates all kinds of issues that, over time (and lives), imprint or condition every level of our human system - our bodies, our minds, our emotions and even our sense of spirituality. The web of this conditioning is incredibly, almost unimaginably deep, completely distorting our experience of being human as well as creating all kinds of emotional distortions and physical disease.
The intent of VortexHealing® is to release this conditioning at every level it is found. For the physical body, in addition to releasing the conditioning that created the disorder, VortexHealing® has the tools to nourish, cleanse and restore functioning. And ultimately, the intent of VortexHealing® is to go to the very root of the problem by facilitating the kind of spiritual evolution and awakening that releases the experience of separateness, which is the root cause of all of our issues and all of our suffering."
