Energetic Healing Arts for WomenEnergetic healing work is highly restorative and regulating for the nervous system. It promotes inner peace, balance, relaxation and harmony. It enhances intuition, bolsters the immune system, aligns the chakras and energetic body, and supports the physical body.I work through Reiki and Facial Reflexology, both of which start the process of rebalancing whatever blocks or stagnancy are present in the organs, endocrine system, musculoskeletal system, and energetic body. These blocks develop for many reasons but are very common when someone has experienced: a traumatic event, long-term “fight-flight-freeze-fawn,” they have been managing a chronic illness, or have lost a loved one.Some benefits of energetic healing work include:- Feeling as though you’ve had a full night of REM sleep: refreshed, relaxed, and rested- Experiencing a sense of wonder and awe- Heightened connection to self, both spiritually and emotionally- Greater inspiration and sense of wonder- Balances your Autonomic Nervous System which allows your body to repair more quicklyLearn more about my work at www.blossomoflight.com, IG: @blossomofltI also offer therapeutic wellness retreats at Grounded Awakening, a collaboration with certified EMDR and Licensed Mental Health Therapist, Lacie Braun.
