In the movie, "What About Bob?" Bob is directed to take baby steps towards the change he wants in his life.  Most of the time that's how it is.  We take small steps in the right direction, and over time we make noticeable progress. At other times, we find ourselves in a position to take a leap of faith.  No baby step, a great big, giant leap - often off a cliff.  When the big moments of our life arrive, and we are called upon to make dramatic changes, we grow by leaps and bounds.  We take large strides and soar onto the next level.


I've always read a lot of books, fiction and otherwise.  Years ago I read a great book that helped Carl and I meet some pretty enthusiastic goals in our life.  It was during one of those leap of faith moments that we discovered "Living by the Power of Faith" by Gene R. Cook.  The message is powerful, and at the end of each chapter is a worksheet to help you implement the concepts you are learning.  We worked through the book together and changed the course of our life dramatically.

Somehow, we got a bit off track.  We became comfortable on our plateau and stopped setting new goals.  Aiming each day just to hold on to what we had, we rather quickly began to dwindle.  The momentum was effectively dead.  It took a few years, but reality began to catch up with our attitude, and we ended up pretty close to square one, except now we were older, and less resilient. Since then it has been a series of leaps into the unknown followed by baby steps into the dark.

A few years ago the book, "The Secret" came out. I read it, Carl read it, our friends and family read it.  It was a breath of fresh air, a spark of energy, a reminder, and a wake up call.  I knew from personal experience that the principles worked. At the core, it is the same message as "Living by the Power of Faith".  My quest to know more resumed.  I wanted to understand why I could implement and succeed for while, but was unable to sustain the momentum necessary for lasting success.  Why did worry, fear, and doubt always return?  I began searching for a way to clear the stumbling blocks from my path, so that I could fully embrace a life of faith and trust, rather than falling back into fear and doubt.

Since then I have read and studied the subject from many angles.  I have learned a lot and I am grateful to all the authors who wrote those books, sharing their wisdom and knowledge.  I made a lot of baby steps while reading all of those books. There is a difference between knowing how to do something, and actually doing it.  Sometimes it was as if there were a literal wall in my mind that I just could not get over.  I believed, I hoped, I wanted, I visualized, I focused, I set goals, I acted - so why was I stuck?

Eventually my studying lead me to take a 5 week tele-course on energy healing basics.  The announcement that I read for the class mentioned the Law of Attraction, and how to clear the blocks that were holding you back from really living it.  I saved that email for weeks in my inbox.  Something about it spoke to me, and drew me in.  I just couldn't delete it.  The day before the class was to start, I signed up.  Paying that fee felt like a pretty big leap of faith.  I knew instinctively that I was getting really close to what I was searching for.

The class was amazing, enlightening, and everything the ad had promised.  Included in the handouts for each class was a reading list.  Some of which I had already read, and many more that I had not.  These reading lists were both a confirmation that I was still on the same path, and a wealth of new ideas.  Since then I have continued to study and implement the concepts of energy healing into my life.  Many of the invisible boulders in my life have been rolled away, or even blown to pieces.

As my understanding has increased, so has my desire to help others with these methods. Everywhere I look there is needless suffering - colicky babies, depression, addiction, heart disease, cancer, fear, anger, frustration, and pain.  The healing methods of energy medicine address all of these and more.  How can I keep all of this goodness to myself?  I want to share the light I have found with everyone.

Next month I am taking my next giant leap into the void.  I will be attending intensive training classes to become a certified practitioner of Calyco Healing.  I am so excited to learn even more, especially how to help others with these methods.  I have recently started this blog dedicated to the subject of energy healing.  It will become a resource for others, who are searching to understand this subject. Eventually I will post reviews of the best, and worst, books on the subject, as well as links to other resources.  There is no reason for everyone to dig through the weeds to find the flowers.

The lights are on, the darkness has fled.  It's onward, and upward by leaps and bounds.

"And so the mind must be filled with the things of God in order to withstand the crowding tactics of the Adversary, not to mention the general spiritual entropy of earth life. The mind is the frontier and the tool, and training the mind in spiritual awareness and practice is the key to opening the spiritual door. "

A Simple Definition

Some of life's experiences make such an impact on us, that we carry the energy of them with us long after the actual experience is over.  When those experiences are negative, they can impact our lives in unproductive ways.  Letting the negative energy of our past remain with us can cause problems in our present.  It may manifest as illness, emotional problems, or relationship difficulties.  Sometimes we have a goal or a dream and we feel stuck for no logical reason.

Our bodies contain multiple energy fields that effect our well being in dramatic ways. Energy healing uses various methods to detect and release the destructive energetic debris that can become trapped. When these energetic blocks are released, our bodies are better able to heal, and good health can return.

Letting go of negative, false beliefs about ourselves and the world we live in can free us to live a more peaceful and joyful life.  Uncovering  hidden energetic blocks will unleash your potential to accomplish  goals and fulfill your life's mission.

In the Beginning

Pinpointing where and when my quest for knowledge of  energy healing began is difficult. In the early years of my search, I wasn't aware of the name, energy healing, or the vast field of study it entails.  Before the days of the internet, the search was much more difficult.  Today a quick Google search provides an overwhelming amount of information. This blog provides a sensible path through the forest, helping to illuminate the individual trees.

Take a look at the recommended reading in the box to the right.  I have personally read and rated all of these books.  Some are specifically focused on Energy Healing, and others get there in a more round about way.  Some of my favorites, never mention the actual term "Energy Healing" but teach valuable concepts that are no doubt healing energetically.

There are many modalities, and paths that lead to a similar end. The links I have posted are to individuals that resonate with me.  I am sure there are others, and would welcome any recommendations.
