Supporting health through healing touch therapies.

“I am touched by you” are words a person says when they have been affected, often deeply, perhaps on many levels. Frequently, the touch did not involve direct physical contact. It may have been words or a kind deed. Healing touch does not have to include physical touch, though it may include a physical result.

For years, many individuals have been experiencing and receiving effective, even life changing, healing touch energywork through distance sessions. If this idea is new for you, now might be the perfect time for you to explore this way of obtaining support and wellness care.

Energywork is something familiar, though you’ve likely used different words to describe your experience. Perhaps you’ve held your head in your hands to ease a headache, held a child while an “ouchie” eased, or put hands on your belly to quiet stomach turmoil. If you bang a knee, a likely first response is to grab hold of the injured spot and yell, i.e. you take in lots of vital life force energy by taking a big breath, and while the sound and air come out your mouth, life force energy - healing energy - also travels down to and out your hands, beginning to ease the pain. These are examples of energywork used in everyday situations.

Professional Practitioners of energywork develop and expand these natural skills, usually through trainings and years of developing experience. As well as building in-person skills, Practitioners learn to find others at a distance, locating them as patterns of Light and Information.

Energywork focuses primarily on the subtle realm of human experience to facilitate relaxation, lessen pain, ease breathing difficulty, shorten recovery time, and reduce frustration and anxiety. Energywork calms, soothes, encourages beginnings and completions, enables movement through difficult life passages, and improves overall quality of life.

Energywork is also a bodywork therapy in which the Human Being is considered as a multidimensional being; in which spirit, mind, emotions and physical body are found and worked with as patterns and flows. Observations by those who see these patterns have found that just as with ideas coming before a physical object is built, human body events happen first in the light patterns. A physical, mental, or emotional injury appears first in the energy field before its impact on the physical body. Restoration of the energy field and flow enables the affected body to restore itself more easily. As the patterns clear, repair, open, complete, harmonize, or in other ways become more beautiful, one’s life in the physical world tends to follow.

Healing comes primarily from within. During a healing session, I partner with you, accompanying you, sharing experience, being present with you, doing various kinds of treatment which balance your energy and enhance your sense of well-being. Your participation may be outwardly active or quiet.

Spiritual Healing, Energy Field & Chakra Work:

Deepens and lengthens relaxation.

Increases your awareness of life options.

Enables movement through difficult passages in your life.

Unmasks illness.

Facilitates illness resolution.

Promotes self-acceptance.

Enhances wellness and compassion.

You are more than your physical body. There is a field of energy within and around you, supporting it. Good health and well-being are most easily attained when this energy field – of which chakras are a part – is clear, intact, charged, and balanced.

Your body wants to be whole and healthy, its natural state. Barriers to this natural condition develop over time both consciously and unconsciously. Healing is the transformation of your bodymind into its natural state of well-being.

Energywork is one of the tools I use in healing. During an energy session, you are likely to feel a calming warmth and gentle release of areas carrying tension. At times in a session, vivid colors may fill your inner vision. Some tension releases provide information of their content or original positive purpose. As they transform, you may reclaim yourself through laughter, humor, joy, tears, or sadness. At the end of a session, it is common to feel rested and at peace.

Types of Energywork

Brennan Healing Science® works in a precise manner with the chakras, levels of the energy field, and you as a multidimensional being. I - and sometimes you, the client - am an active participant in the work as well as a channel for energy to move through.

Light Body is an energy body that exists closer to your soul than the chakras. The work is subtle, adding possibilities and dimension to the other energy tools. Resonance, intention, and translation (finding a pattern in the Light Body and following it to one’s physical body) are used in order to harmonize, draw in, and encourage use of these patterns in ordinary physical life.

Yin styles of energywork enable changes through quiet; stillness; allowing space.

Yang types of energywork seek to access and increase life-force (healing) energy using body awareness and breathing techniques, along with resonance and entrainment principles.

Some ways of exploring may more accurately be described as a kind of technology for self-care and transformation; using light touch deeply, and serious fun lightly to restore balance and harmonize.

I use a combination of approaches and modalities, moving from one to another as directed by the your situation, body, and spirit.

Distance Healing

Energywork spans time and space so it is effective whether done in person or at a distance. A Distance session works pretty much the same way “in-person” energywork does. During your appointment time, you lie or sit comfortably; perhaps playing music that is soothing to you. To talk with me during your session, you telephone at the start of the appointment. We stay in phone contact for part or all of the time. See the Spiritual Healing section.

Classes

Currently no group classes are being offered.

Individual instruction during a session is always available, tailored to your interests and level of experience.
