Energy Healing for Spring Renewal


By Heather McCauley

Spring has officially sprung in our part of the world and with spring comes renewal. We can mimic the renewal of nature by treating ourselves to a “spring cleaning”. One way to do this is to address the energy field that surrounds every one of us. This energy field is our first line of defense against psychic and spiritual assaults – as well as our first projection of our true self to others we encounter. Therefore, it seems perfectly logical to maintain this energy field in order to keep us in good overall health – much like having your teeth cleaned every six months.

The human energy field or aura, which has been shown to comprise seven layers of energy, exists just beyond our physical body and generally extends out about three feet. The aura can be felt or even seen by individuals who embrace their intuitive powers. The aura is generally smooth in nature but can sometimes become jagged, blocked, imbalanced, or otherwise damaged. Some healers have even reported seeing or feeling ‘protrusions’ in one’s energy field. When these imbalances occur, it becomes difficult for us to maintain a positive energy flow. Negative energies can enter the cracks in our defenses – or we could leech our positive energies out to our surroundings. It becomes a struggle for us to hold our own space and can affect our physical body in many ways. When this happens, it may be beneficial to seek an energy healing.

Some healers have a natural gift and have been intuitively guided to lay hands on individuals or focus their intentions in some other way. Others are called to the practice – also guided by their intuition – and may spend a great deal of time learning healing modalities and perfecting their technique. The simple distinction of whether the healing ability is innate or learned does not necessarily distinguish the better healer. The best type of healer is one who practices with intent. The intent must be pure love and a desire for the client to experience a healing. When this type of energy is behind it, a healing will certainly take place. So, why not try an energy healing for renewal? It just may put a spring in your step!
