Distant/Remote Healing Testimonial

I did a distant healing today and this is what my client, Donna, emailed me afterwards. Donna, thank you for allowing me to share this. This is common, but some clients will feel nothing at all. Whether you have Donna's experience, record these healing responses, or feel nothing at all, I believe healing occurs.
I see/sense two bodies when I'm healing: a physical body and an 'energy' body. The energy body hovers over, is independent of the physical body. This body moves during a healing. Healers in spirit work on this body: massage, manipulation, surgery, light/energy work. In most cases this transfers to, and manifests as health in the physical body.
I'm yet to determine why clients have different experiences, and there seems to be no apparent pattern, but I've compiled a list of things to consider on my website. The best mind state to be in during a healing is relaxed detachment. Try to have no expectation. People who think they know what I'm doing often interfere with the healing and have no recordable healing responses.

Dear Simon,
Thank you so much for that wonderful experience. I felt the following, close to this order or thereabouts:
  • A tingling sensation my right palm.
  • Pressure and sensation on top on my pelvis and upper thighs,
  • Feather-like touches on parts of my body that are injured: my right achilles especially, and it felt like someone was doing a scan along the right side of my body.
  • Tingling on the tip of my tongue.
  • Pressure on my face
  • Pressure, like someone was pushing their finger onto the middle of my forehead.
  • The sound of a pop in my left upper nasal cavity and I was able to breathe though my nose so much more easily – this side has been difficult to breath out of for years (15?).
  • The taste of a chemical or something like that in my mouth.
  • The feel of my jaw and face expanding beyond normal size.
  • Pressure inside my head and a slight headache.
  • The feel of pokes and featherlike touches around my torso.
  • A sensation in my right foot, ankle and leg, then a little jump.
  • Pressure across my chest.
  • Warmth and pressure in my lower abdomen and an expanding feeling of my hips and lower abdomen spreading outwards.
  • Warmth under the whole of my back.
  • Pressure on top of my right hand near the fingers.
  • Pressure like someone holding onto my left wrist.

These feelings would come like a wave of sensation, then it would drop off and I would wonder if I imagined it, and then another wave of sensation would come. I stopped wondering. I felt like I was in a semi meditative state. I tried to detach but I found myself talking to myself almost non stop, I even sang to try and stop it. But thankfully I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew I felt and heard the words, "It's over," and I felt really alert. I lay there for a while and the feelings and warmth still felt like they were there, but more reduced. When I looked at the time it was 11:42 AM. (Simon's note: the healing lasted 60 minutes – Donna recorded 102 minutes – but I'm connected with the client as long as it takes the healers in spirit to finish. The healing can continue for days or weeks. I've had one client feel energy shifts and physical responses for 60 days.)
Now I feel so peaceful. I feel like I had a break from my normal frantic mind chatter The difference is startling once you've felt what it's like when it stops. I am drinking water and hoping you're okay. Thanks so much for putting your body, heart and soul on the line for me and the world.
I am so grateful.
Love Donna ~ Donna F from NSW

I'm Not Spiritual, I'm Simon

Someone commented on a friend's wall on FB questioning why healers and mediums charge for their services. His argument was that spiritual teachers should teach through example and have faith that the universe will provide. He mentioned Buddha, monks, and shared a philosophical story about an old lady and a bag of precious stones.

The post was promoting one of my links, but I didn't join the fray. My friend and a couple of others spat chilli sauce in his eyes – she doesn't cook, so I was surprised she had some with her – and carved oi, oi, oi into his chest with a nail file, and he confessed that he had spent the last three years being fed and housed by strangers. He repaid those people by doing household chores and impersonating Oliver Twist, “Please Sir, I want some more.” In Australia, we call that free-loading, and if the chores aren't being done it's called raising teenagers.

My friend unfriended son of the highest, and in the spirit of, I beg therefore I am, he bombarded her inbox with accusatory messages. Sadly, this behaviour in varying degrees is common in the spiritual community. Come on, be honest. We've all talked about or judged another's behaviour. No one's innocent.

I appreciate that he thought I was a teacher, but he was mistaken to believe that I'm spiritual. I'm not, I'm Simon. By definition I work in a spiritual field, but I'll never confirm to the ideals of spirituality. I'm human. My views about spirituality and religion are the same: I won't suffer the guilt of not adhering to an impossible manmade and self-imposed dogma.

The business of spirituality is as cut throat as any other business. I've mingled with, and entertained hundreds of spiritual people, and it's rare to find genuine humility, compassion, honesty, and generosity. That rare breed will smile when they read this, the rest will chatter about the ego mind, not realising that that darkest of human traits – I feel sorry for Eddy Ego – is what's making their lips move.

I don't pretend to be anything I'm not, I'm perceived to be something I'm not. I'm the guy that people love or hate, there seems to be no middle ground, and I'm fine with that. I unsettle a lot of healers and spiritual people because I break all the 'rules'. I'm fine with that also.

There isn't a day or a healing that I'm not grateful for. I feel blessed that spirit has chosen me for this, and they did choose me. Sometimes I wonder if they chose the right person. I know that I'm an exceptional healer and teacher and every day I learn something new about myself, spirit, life, and healing.

I also live in a country where economy governs. No one called it an energy exchange when they payed me for unblocking their toilet. I'm still that guy. This guilt that everyone feels about charging for spiritual work needs to be quashed. Call it what it is: a business.

This isn't spiritual work, this is my career. Energy healing isn't a divine gift, it's not a gift at all, it's an example of potentiality, and that resides in all of us. This may be a tough observation to hear for someone who has studied a modality of energy healing, but the best healers I've found are those who've had no prior knowledge or interest in metaphysics or spirituality. You don't need a diploma to heal and communicate to spirit.

In this field accreditation doesn't guarantee professionalism or expertise. I'm sorry, it doesn't, and how do you accredit being spiritual? I regularly see savvy business people offering accreditation through universities and colleges they've created themselves. I could join a dozen organisations for a fee, and they all are worthless. It's a business people.

I'm in the business of story telling because that's all I'm certain of. This industry is filled with uncertainty, mystery and never ending questions: how, why, what? It's terrifying and liberating to not know. My life is filled with joy and wonder, and I'm not spiritual. I'm Simon.

Ghosts!

M had two experiences with a spirit throwing a ball last week. The first was that a bouncy ball, the size of a soccer ball, was carried or kicked from the kids room down the hallway, a distance of 6m, and into our closed bedroom door. The other incident was that a tennis ball was thrown against the glass sliding door on the back patio. We live in a high-set, a two storey, home and the ball had been laying in the yard. M was home alone.

That is quite a feat for spirit to do. Not all spirits are capable of moving objects and the objects are usually small. It requires a lot of energy for spirits to move physical objects and the process is similar to telekinesis. They manipulate consciousness, the 'residue' energy of intention and action. I have children, they throw balls, so that energy is available for spirit to use. Potentiality. The energy of children is easier to connect with because their consciousness usually has less fear than an adults.

The spirit trying to get M's attention was a young boy. He wanted to go 'home – into the light. I don't often talk about this aspect of my work. Hollywood shows like Supernatural – man-crush on Dean – and Ghost whisperer have sensationalised the lost and damned. It's Hollywood people. There aren't thousands of spirits roaming our streets looking for hosts to terrify. Spirit brought the boy to me because spirit knows I can move him into the light. The balls were thrown to get my attention because I wasn't listening to my guide, Gegu. Essentially we're the light, whatever that may be. My intention to help a spirit makes the light visible – I'm not certain how spirits sense the light – and the spirit goes 'home'.

Most people react to spirits fearfully so they believe they are or their homes are haunted. The fear can create a haunting. This is not the same as a haunted location. In that situation an event or period of time can replay over and over. It's not always a spirit, but a 'slice' of consciousness. Yes, there are ghosts that choose to hang around or return to a location and this saddens me. If we heal a location or an event the vibration isn't present for the spirit to 'exist'.

By healing spirit, we're healing our souls and humanity. We're cleaning the field of consciousness.

How do you do healings and readings?

For positive healing outcomes, my faith, mind and partnership with spirit healers are contributing factors. Also influential are the client’s mental attitude, behaviour and the interpersonal relationship between the client and myself. 
In this article I'll describe the healing and reading process in detail with accompanying thoughts.
As eighty per cent of clients book for a reading, everyone is given the option to lie on a massage table or to sit on a lounge. Most elect to be on the healing table, but I’m comfortable working both ways. 
I'll ask why have you’ve come to see me and describe how I'll be communicating. If you’re on the massage table I'll describe where my hands will be placed and where I'll be positioned. 
If at any stage during the session, I place my hands somewhere that makes you feel uncomfortable, please tell me. I’ll reposition. Despite the effectiveness of distant healing, I believe contact close to the injury, pain, tumour etc. accelerates the healing, but respecting your personal boundaries is important to me.
Throughout the session I remind that I don’t have medical accreditation. Although, I’m able to identify major organs and body systems, I often don’t know what the magnified anatomical and cellular images I see during healings are. I travel into organs, fluids and cells, experience 360° vision, hear popping and gurgling sounds, smell odours, and experience client’s pain and trauma.  
Often, during those moments, I can't feel my body. Interestingly, some clients can’t feel my hands, feel spirit's hands touching them, tapping, squeezing, pressure, etc.
During sessions I explain that I see two bodies: the client's body and an energy/light/spirit body overlaid or within the physical body. 
The spirit body interacts with me — holds my hand, hugs me, walks around the room, changes age — and is the body healers in spirit work on. In extreme cases, I'll see surgery performed on the spirit body. 
I used to wonder if what I was seeing was just an image created by my mind, until clients shared they had felt someone massaging them, had been rolled over when they hadn't, and a doctor described experiencing surgery during her session. She felt pressure, tugging, muscles and nerves being manipulated inside her body.
Telepathically, I also communicate to your soul and mind. Some clients believe I read minds because what I've heard and then said is what they were thinking. I don’t believe I’m a mind reader and don’t practice to be. For me, mind, spirit, and consciousness are the same. 
The personal information in the telepathic conversations has often never been shared and is sometimes confronting to hear. I share these conversations only when spirit directs me to. I talk about violence, trauma, abuse, gender, sexual acts, relationships, friends, family, and your most private thoughts. I respect client’s privacy and all sessions are confidential.  
In-person or via video app, whether you’ve booked for a healing or reading, everyone will get a partial or full reading. If you’ve booked a distant healing, have provided your name, a recent photo and information about what I’m healing, you may not receive any feedback. For distant healings, I prefer to speak to clients via a video app at the start of the session, and it’s then you’ll receive a partial reading. 
During readings, I intuit information about the past, present and sometimes the future, but I'm not a fortune-teller. I'm a healer and medium. I share accurate information from and about spirit. If you want a psychic reading, want to know when your house will sell, when you’ll meet your soul mate, or your life’s purpose, I’m not the reader for you.
I’ll probably be able to tell you why your house isn’t selling and accurately describe the reasons why you’re single and unhappy, though. By intuiting your accurate age, location, styles of clothing, music and media, and the names of people at significant events in your past, I’ll identify the reasons for your unhappiness, addictions and unhealthy choices and behaviours.    
At the start of and during readings, I describe how I get and share information from spirit. When I share names, I ask everyone to think about living and deceased people. Family members, in-laws, exes, friends, school friends, friends of living and deceased family members, neighbours, work colleagues; everyone!   
Sometimes the spirit you wish to hear from is absent. Be willing to provide feedback and interact. Answer my questions. Often, I know the information, I’m enquiring, not actually asking a question: “at six years old I see you in the house with a piano in it. I’m on your mother’s side of the family. I have the names Mary, Rose, Albert and Bob. Your grandmother is polishing a brass genie lamp. Do you know the house and remember the lamp? Is Mary your grandmother?”
Client responds, “Yes, I know the house. Mary is my grandmother’s sister, Rose is my grandmother’s neighbour, Albert is Rose’s husband, the lamp is in Rose’s house, and I don’t know who Bob is”
This response helps me to continue. I’ve mistaken Rose for the grandmother, but the grandmother provided the information. My client’s relaxed response heightens my connection to spirit. 
I continue, “Bob is still living. He owned a valiant charger. I have the name Ida or Ada, also Catherine. Did your mother have short red hair and ride a bike to church? Maybe she only rode the bike to church once? Is there a Chris known by mum? I actually don’t know if Chris is living or not.”
Client confirms, “Ida is my grandmother. Mum’s name is Catherine, she did have short red hair, Chris was her first husband, but I don’t know the bike story or who Bob is.”
These responses are common and I encourage clients to research the information I provide. Most clients email or message and validate information. Every reading is different, but I get lots of names and descriptions of life-events, objects, careers, deaths, and dates. 
During this session, and within seconds of meeting her, I know, at some stage in her life, she has been sexually abused, choked, threatened, has low self-esteem and has trouble orgasming. I intuit these moments because spirit and I look for events and behaviours to heal, but I’d waited to gain my client’s trust before I talked about it.
I chose this example to show the scope of information I intuit. 
95% of clients are women, 6 out of 10 have experienced sexual assault/abuse, 8 out of 10 have experienced male violence, and 8 out of 10 have a women’s health issue: endometriosis, uterine fibroids, UTI’s, hormonal imbalance, menstruation issues, and many others.
I ask my client, “At 9 years old you look distressed. I see you in a room with blue curtains, there’s a white-framed bed and a view of a park. Were your parents arguing? I can hear raised voices.”
Client looks sad and says, “That was the age my parents separated.”
I continue, “I’m going to ask something personal. Is that okay?”
“Yes.”
I already know that at 10 years old the client was sexually abused, so I ask, “At 10 years old I see that mum is drinking at home with a man. I’ve the names Tony and Steve. I also feel at risk of harm by one of those men. I’m feeling what you were feeling.”
Client confirms, “Mum drank every night and Steve and Tony were her boyfriends.”
I haven’t asked the question I wanted to and my client is crying. “I’m sorry. Are you okay?”
She says, “I don’t know why I’m crying.”
I do and say, “Let’s talk about your life now. I know you’re not happy at home. You’re not sure what’s unsettling you. You feel disconnected from your husband. I’m going to swear now because you swear a lot.”
Client laughs and agrees with everything I’ve said.
I continue, “You don’t want your husband to fucken touch you. He can fuck off and sleep on the couch.”
Client snorts and says, “That’s what I told him last night.”
“I know. Look, can I say something really personal about your relationship with yourself.”
Client, “Yes.”
“I know a man touched you when you were ten. It happened in the room with bunks in it. There’s a red light bulb in a lamp, I can smell alcohol, I’m also choking (I know she was forced to have oral sex but I know, with this client, I can’t say that out loud), and I can hear your mum snoring.”
Client sighs and says, “I’ve not told anyone about that,”
“I know.” 
She sighs again and I reach for her hand. She squeezes my hand and says, “Did he hurt my sister too?”
Her question allows me to continue, “Yes he did.” 
I’m still, then notice I’ve squeezed her hand, so I say, “We love you. Spirit and I, and I know you don’t know how to feel about that. I know you don’t like your body: your shape, your belly, the mole on your left breast, your body odour, and having an orgasm is difficult. I know that’s personal and you’ve not talked about this with anyone, but I also know you want to. This is personal too. It hurts when you have sex and you don’t know how to tell your husband that it hurts.”
She sighs again, squeezes my hand and pulls me towards her when I attempt to rock back, “I don’t love him anymore. I bought a vibrator.”
I smile, “I know. It’s purple.”
She laughs and says, “I don’t know why I told you that.” 
This is common. Clients tell me things they’ve never talked about and display open and free behaviours. For conservative people, at some stage after the session, they may feel embarrassed, confused, angry, or shocked. These feelings subside and I explain to clients they can message, email or text if they feel overwhelmed or confused. Clients have informed, when I reply to their messages they feel better. I describe this healing response as a depressed response.
I’m going to end this example here. These types of conversations are common, but don’t be nervous about booking to see me. I shared this dialogue so you will know what to expect during a healing and reading. I also share uplifting, happy and funny information from spirit.
The disjointed flow of information during readings is also common. I can hint at something, but don’t have to share all the details I have. In this session, the grandmother, Ada, interjected and eased the client’s anguish, but I haven’t included it here. 
Spirit, and the client’s body language, dialogue, tone of voice, emotions, and spirit body responses determine how I continue.
I also see past life images and communicate with spirit guides and angels specific to you. But, unless asked about this, I’ll focus on you and your life.  
I’m quiet during medical healings, but will still do a partial reading. In these healings, I work with spirit healers and focus on the illness or injury. I also would like to see you 2 or 3 times, but I’ve had immediate results after one healing many times.
There have also been clients who, after multiple sessions, experienced negligible change. Truthfully, I don't know what will occur during a healing or after until it does. I’m not always successful, and talk about this online and at events.

If you're unable to see me in-person or attend a follow up session, I also do distant healings. For some clients, distant healings are more effective than in-person healings, and I encourage clients booking medical healings to try both. Despite the distance, physical contact and responses still occur.

What's in a Name?

I did a presentation at the Geelong Christian Spiritual Church today and afterwards a member of the congregation, a woman in her seventies, shared an interesting tale with me. She started by thanking me for the healing she'd received, and at first I thought she was talking about today and during the presentation. She'd recently visited her doctor to have a large raised itchy mole investigated. The doctor advised her to have the mole removed, but he was unable to do it on that day.

She attended the church some time later and when the reverend announced that Simon Hay was coming to do a presentation, a wave of tingly energy flowed through her body. The next day the mole had subsided and was no longer itchy. She pulled up her sleeve and showed me the light grey blemish that remained. Her skin looked smooth. She smiled and thanked me.

That's cool! Thank you, Gegu. "Thank you, my son."

This isn't a story about Simon Hay, this is about potential and possibility. Imagine if a surgeon's name, or your name got this response. It's possible.

Spontaneous Distant Healing — a Client’s Experience

I’d like to thank Jen for allowing me to share this. This is common, and this also happens to some people at my events. Imagine if this healing vibration was present in a hospital. It is possible — all I’d need to do is to heal all the nurses, do a presentation about soul healing, and identify the gifted healers. I’d only need to find one natural healer and the vibration would transfer throughout the hospital.

"I am writing this testimonial for Simon as I have had the most amazing distance healing experience with him and it happened quite accidentally.

"It was one of those times that I had called out to the Universe for some much needed help, was just feeling so lost and unhappy and aching with it. Then suddenly I had stumbled upon Simon’s blog.  It was just what I had needed to read.  I felt so thankful that I wanted to find a way to say thank you.  I was feeling a bit shy though, so decided to say thank you to his photograph.

"I felt so much love and gratitude and there was a whoosh of energy and it was like Simon was right there with me and then I felt really hot, not sure if it was because I was slightly startled by the whoosh thing or it was healing energy. It was really strong, more like hands on healing than distance healing. I could really feel the love.  I think Simon was talking to me as the lips on the photo seemed to be moving.  I couldn't hear what was being said though, so sent Simon an e-mail sharing my trippy healing experience from looking at his photo. Seems this is quite a normal experience!  :)

"I have seen Simon in my dreamtime at least twice since then.  He is always smiling and Jesus is always standing to his right.  I have had CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) for about 12 years. In my dream I was shown the CFS as a pillow I was holding tight to my front. I was like a child, frightened, clutching tightly to the pillow. I don't remember much else except the love washing over me. The second time Simon and Jesus came, the pillow was still in my hand but it was dropped loose by my side and I was smiling at them and giggling. Not that I could hear what either of them was saying, but it was obviously making me giggle!

"I've been much brighter and feeling lifted. I was singing around the house yesterday.  I feel more self-confidence too.  I just feel happy and feel more loving towards myself. It's been a wonderfully healing experience for me and I can understand why he is called a soul healer as the healing feels deeply on a soul level.  I am so thankful that I found him and hope he comes to and tours in the UK soon! :)"

Do You Want To?

There are many misconceptions about energy and spiritual healing. The biggest one, I believe, is that healing is a divine process. Often, people who work with spirit, in this field, separate light and darkness, love and ego, consciousness and Christ consciousness, and yet they preach, ego is the illusion we exist as a separate being. Apparently, the ego mind's function is separation, judgement, and fear, which is the creed, although they'd deny it, of many light workers—that title makes me cringe.

It's fair to say that I have a system of healing that's unique to me. I break everyone else's rules. I see Jesus' spirit and communicate with him in an unrecorded way: he's a simple man, his body odour smells great, he's talked to me about the violence and fear in his life, his imperfect family—like most families—and that he didn't want anyone to worship him or to start a church.

He talked to me about those things because I can heal the energy around those events, and I believed him. When I work with spirit, I want the real Jesus to stand beside me, and I believe that's what happened in my life in 2000.

No matter how many times I tell people I'm a regular guy, they perceive me not to be. Yes, I now have extraordinary experiences with spirit, but I've lived a regular and at time tumultuous life. The emotion and pain in my past doesn't affect my ability to heal, it enhances it. Sitting on a mountain top glowing with light doesn't heal anybody.

Does love heal? How about a parent's love for their child? If it was just love then I'm certain sick children would heal. We love our children, right? What about God's love, source energy, angels, and ascended masters? Don't they love us? Something is missing. The Dalai Lama loves Tibet, but he can't go home. Jesus loves Israel and it's people, but his homeland is a war zone.

If healing isn't successful then it must be something else: a soul contract, karma, or some other esoteric concept we've gleaned from conversations with spirit, ourselves, and the bogeyman. What if healers are responsible, what if our healing modalities and techniques are inadequate? What if we have no idea what we're really doing? I've met lots of healers who claim they know what they're doing and yet their results are minimal or non-existent.

Increasingly, I meet spiritual people who talk about love and compassion, but don't practice it. I don't want to be described or perceived as a spiritualist, so I try to keep myself small. The creating power of consciousness and spirit is vast, but I am small: I make mistakes, I can be impatient, cranky, tough to live with—regular!

Gegu, my guide, and Jesus have told me that my uncle Harry, who is in spirit, is just as powerful a healer as Jesus. What's that spirit dudes, an ordinary man can heal? You don't need a PHD, or accreditation to heal. You don't need to see/sense spirit, angels, demons, energy fields, and you don't need to be psychic or intuitive. Those things will manifest in time.

I believe there is only one thing you need to be able to heal a stranger and that's the answer to this question: do you want to? Know this though, you will not be in control. The creating force of consciousness, the client's soul is in control, healers are observers. The healer's role is important, but it is the smallest part of the process.

Talk soon.

The Path of No Path — Spirit’s Best Advice!

I was once asked by a new client if I’d tell her if I hadn’t successfully healed an illness or injury. It’s a fair question, and she was surprised when I talked freely about some of those moments. If you’ve spent time with me you’d know that I’m brutally honest about my healing work and my experiences with spirit.

I believe the process of healing has to be simplified, and to remove the ‘alternative’ tag attached to energy healing the healing community has to be professional, and stop parroting information that we don’t fully grasp. It may come as a surprise that I embrace science, but in this field as soon as we think about or investigate the process, we influence and alter what’s happening. I feel that science is a way to gather supporting evidence, but it can be hindered by the politics behind the funding, and the hierarchy of the scientific community.

Many years ago Gegu, my spirit guide, repeatedly said this phrase to me, “the path of no path.” I believe he wanted to encourage an evolving truth without a fixed belief system: the absence of influence, pure thought, and to be a pioneer. Oh, and he doesn’t like it when I use the word pioneer to describe myself. “Be more than that, be no one thing. Be nothing.”

Every interaction we have with anything, and in this case illness, alters it. A limiting factor in creating change for healers and clients is that we don’t disengage from a social frequency. If I’m healing cancer, essentially, I’m healing everyone who has had cancer and everyone they’ve communicated with. The best results that I get are with clients who come immediately to see me and sceptics. What I like about sceptics is this, “I thought I’d come anyway, but I really think this is bullshit.” Two things: “I thought I’d come,” and they’re completely honest. The intention is to come, and their scepticism detaches them from what they think I’m doing.

Come on healers; let’s be honest, “I don’t even know what I’m doing.” I thought I’d come downstairs and stand at the healing table. All the rest is window dressing and a great story, because as soon as I think anything else I’m imposing my will, and belief systems on the client.

Here’s the conundrum about energy/faith/spiritual/fill my pockets with crystals/change my name to Black Eagle even though I’m not a native American Indian healing: there will be similarities between what we all do, but it doesn’t mean those similarities are necessary or true. The global social frequency makes us copy-cats. Be an individual!

I’m going to tell you the secret of energy healing. Are you ready? “It’s you.” That’s right, it’s pretty damn simple. Compassion is also nice, and respect. Here are some things you don’t need:

• Seeing and communicating with spirit is amazing, but not necessary.
• Past lives are interesting, and seem to be a significant part of some healings, but you don’t have to be able to describe or see a past life to heal someone.
• A designated healing room. Be a paramedic; heal anywhere.
• This is a big one. You don’t need to be trained by anyone to be able to heal. I’m confident that if you spend time with me, or have a healing, you will have a profound experience and a healing vibration will be activated in your energy field, but I can’t tell you how it happens. I know that spirit is involved and an energetic connection is made between us, but, truthfully, I don’t know how.
• You don’t need to read anything about energy healing, but I’m aware that some people, after reading my articles, have had some of my experiences. Eric Pearl’s book, The Reconnection, has also connected many readers to a healing vibration.
• Crystals, essences, prayers, affirmations, angel cards, and other accessories aren’t necessary.
• A change of diet. Change your diet to be healthy and all areas of your life will improve.
• I’d like to dress like an Xman, but it’s not necessary.
• This is another big one. Having faith in a divine power. Have faith in yourself.
• Pretty much everything that you think you might need.

What’s a social or global frequency? I’ll tell you a story: T, a thirty year old woman comes to see me with a rare bone disease. I can’t pronounce it, I didn’t write it down, and the only medical training I’ve had is birthing lambs: it’s slippery, warms your hands on a frosty morning, and rewarding.

The disease is terminal, and for thirty years the woman’s family, friends, and the global medical community have believed that she won’t live past thirty five years old. Multiply that by every person and culture that has experienced the disease, and that’s what I call a social or global frequency—a resonant bonding of a collective experience: fear, pain, physical degeneration, death, and grief.

In the field of consciousness a magnetic bonding occurs. Do I know what I’m talking about? Can I prove this? I’m not sure; I’m writing intuitively and trusting myself and spirit. I have moments where I see my clients as an energy field of liquid light. Fear and illness have a taste, a smell, and a feeling. What’s invisible and unnoticed becomes real and recordable.

During T’s healing I had an experience of separating, not only from my body, but from my consciousness; I became the field, and this has become common during healings. I saw thousands of images and experienced thousands of lives compressed into forty five minutes. I travelled tens of thousands of years into the past and witnessed the first time the disease had occurred.

Was this real? Is a near death experience real, how about remote viewing, or even spirit? Did I record the moment accurately? The only thing I can guarantee is that I have a story to tell. Despite this, intuitively, I have an inner knowing that I’m close to discovering something evidential, not esoteric.

I witnessed spirals and waves of energetic bonding turn to liquid light. The raucous competing chatter of a multitude of bad notes turned into a harmonious humming. T looked ten years younger, the colours in her eyes were radiant, she rolled off the healing table like a gymnast, and an after-sex feeling charged the atmosphere.

T had brought a friend, and, while T caught her breath, she asked me to describe what I had experienced. During the conversation I suggested that I’d like to see T a few more times in close succession. I believed that I could help T. “But, she’s had this all her life.” T’s light dimmed. Her eye’s returned to the dull lifeless grey they were when she arrived. One comment reconnected T to the social frequency. Our environment creates illness and prevents us from healing. T never came back to see me.

Some people will believe that T would heal if the timing was right, that she has a soul contract to fulfil, that she has chosen this illness, and this lifetime. Those are belief systems that are as damaging as telling someone they’re terminally ill. I know that there are lots of mediums channelling information that supports these beliefs, and in the past I’ve channelled similar information, but here’s something to ponder—“The path of no path.”

Once I’d grasped what Gegu was trying to teach me, I realised that the only truthful and accurate experiences I’d had with spirit and healing were the ones I’d had when I knew nothing. Once I’d talked with other healers, mediums, and psychics, and read the books they’d recommended I was mimicking their experiences. This made my ego happy, and Gegu admonishing. I’m grateful for his patience.

The science of energy healing and working with spirit is filled with paradox. No one thing is constant or true. One hundred people with the same illness can have different responses to healing. What works for one client doesn’t work for the next. Intention is important, but so is detachment. At times boredom seems just as important as love.

Gary and C are two of the best healers I’ve encountered, they have the potential to be great, and prior to coming for a healing, they knew nothing about energy healing. Their minds are uncluttered. All they need to do is to be willing to heal. Before you write the comment, “I wish I was like them,” I’m confident that you already are. This year, believe in the power of you.

Happy New Year!

Interview with Brenna Yovanoff

I read The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff last week and I’m still thinking about it; it was that bloody good! It’s about ugly things, love, friendship, courage, and secrets. The Replacement debuted at #10 on the New York Times children’s list, and is one of the best books I’ve read this year.

The Replacement
Though he lives in the small town of Gentry, Mackie comes from a world of tunnels and black murky water, a world of living dead girls ruled by a little tattooed princess. He is a Replacement—left in the crib of a human baby sixteen years ago. Now, because of fatal allergies to iron, blood, and consecrated ground, Mackie is slowly dying in the human world.
Mackie would give anything to live among us, to practice on his bass or spend time with an oddly intriguing girl named Tate. But when Tate’s baby sister goes missing, Mackie is drawn irrevocably into the underworld of Gentry, known as Mayhem. He must face the dark creatures of the Slag Heaps and find his rightful place, in our world, or theirs.

Brenna is one of the Merry Sisters of Fate, and I’ve enjoyed her short fiction for a while now. Her energy is incredible, and her writing has always affected me: I become the story, I’m empathic to the emotion, I love and loath her characters and, ‘I’d like to write like Brenna.’ She’s become an online mentor, and I squealed like a wild pig in a crocodile’s mouth when she let me interview her.

1) What was it about The Replacement that made you think, this is the one, this is the one I want to see published?

I wish I had a better answer to this, but I'm honestly not sure. I just had a feeling that this was The One and I needed to send it out into the world. I knew that agents and editors had been talking about wanting more YA fantasy told from a male point of view, and I felt like maybe I had what they were looking for.

2) I've noticed love is a recurring theme in YA, what's being in love like for you?

I think that love is a recurring YA theme precisely because when we experience it in adolescence, it's very new and very raw. There's a lot of uncertainty and confusion surrounding it and it can be very difficult to navigate. For me, being in love now is very different. There's a much greater sense of trust and security—it doesn't come with such an element of risk, partly because I know myself much better.

3) This, from your website, surprised me - "I'm bad at dancing, making decisions, and inspiring confidence as an authority figure. I suspect this is because I am short, and also terrible at sounding as though I have any idea what I'm talking about." And yet your writing is powerful, eloquent, and seductive. What do you think prevents these traits from manifesting in your personality and life?

Thanks for the wonderful compliment, Simon! I do think that one of the great things about writing is being able to tap into characteristics one might not exhibit in one's daily life. I'm a chronic second-guesser, and I think this is because whenever I look at something, even if it's pretty straightforward, I see a lot of possibilities. This trait is better for—say—writing, than it is for deciding on which route to take in a crowded city.

4) If you had the opportunity to talk to young Brenna, what age would you be, and what would you say?

I would probably talk to Brenna at fourteen and tell her to stop worrying so much about how to socialize because no one else has any idea what's going on either, and those heavy bangs are really not a good idea, and please, please try harder at Algebra, because in two years you'll find out that you are actually really good at Basic Physics, but you won't be able to move on to the advanced class because of your woeful knowledge of algebra.

5) Your presence online is comforting, I already consider you a mentor, and I believe you'll become a role model for readers, writers, and young people. Are you ready for this, and is this 'fame' something you've dreamed about it?

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Simon! Personally, I don't know if mentoring is something people are ever really ready for. I think people find themselves in that position, either voluntarily or by chance, and then they get to see if they're cut out for it—so if mentoring turns out to be a part of all this, I'll have to see how it plays out! As far as fame goes, I'll be honest, I've never really dreamed about it. When I was little, I really hated being the center of attention, and even now, if I'm given a choice, I prefer to be an observer rather than a participant. So I don't think much about being famous, just about writing stories that people want to read.

6) Do you think the fantasy worlds that writers create only exist in their imaginations or are they created from something real? Are the fangs, fur, and fey real?

While I'm definitely not a literalist about fantasy creatures, I do think there's something to the idea that we as a species are driven to create them as expressions of our own cultural fears or desires. We invent creatures who transform from human beings into animal counterparts, or who live forever and never age or get sick. I think these things speak clearly to ideas about death and self-control. They might not be real, but they seem to be very effective metaphors for a lot of things that are.

7) Zombies are roaming the streets and your critique partners have been infected. Do you:
a) Blast them?
b) Keep them as pets and train them to be vegans?
c) Let them bite you so you can still be friends?
d) Another option?

Well, you're talking about Tess and Maggie here, so I would absolutely need to find a cure! Even if I could keep them as pets, I'm pretty sure they'd be no good to me as either writers or critique partners, and if it's the zombie apocalypse, I expect to be holed up for quite a while and I'm definitely going to need them to keep writing new stories for me to read!

Thanks for having me, Simon!

Isn’t she cool!

What to Expect After a Healing

There has been a lot of interest in the 100 free healings offer and since I can’t respond to every email I will try to answer the questions in a series of posts.

The most common response to healing that I hear from my clients is, “I feel great,” but often they can’t describe what has changed; they just feel different. This post will help you to identify what has changed and promote further healing, and I’d also recommend reading this post on self-healing.

Like the healing responses during a healing I don’t know what you will experience after. I’ve witnessed extraordinary medical responses with some clients only to have the illness or injury reappear weeks or months later. Ultimately the client is in control of what happens in the future, and in these cases I’d suggest the clients hadn’t changed the way they think or feel about themselves. Self-awareness, observation, action, and courage are needed to enjoy a happy and healthy life. Success ranges from negligible to miraculous and even though I’ve done countless healings I can’t guarantee or predict the response.

There are two common pathways of healing:

• Clients leave smiling and live a pain and illness free life, and I don’t hear from them again until they refer a new client to me twelve months later.
• Clients leave dazed and then experience fatigue, mood shifts, depression, temporarily relive past injuries, illness, and emotions—one client had acne, similar to what she had as a teenager, for a day, her breasts ached for six hours, she experienced the pain of a ten year old knee injury for an hour, she sobbed uncontrollably for half a day, and she had flu like symptoms for a day—over time these incidences fade and health and joy manifests, seemingly from nowhere and sometimes without the client noticing. One day they just feel great.

Of course there are numerous variations on these outcomes, and some clients re-book because the experience is so bloody good and they like the stories I tell. I never advise my clients to re-book, I let them make that decision, but with chronic illness’ I like to see clients more than once, and I also like to see immediate family members.

Depression and addictive behaviours are more difficult to shift and clients have to be proactive in changing thinking patterns and behaviour. I’ve had immediate success with depression a few times, but usually there are follow up appointments.

I don’t ever advise anyone to stop taking prescribed medication or to stop seeing their doctors. I’ve had clients who have been unable to take drugs after seeing me, they can’t even put the tablet into their mouths, but this is a decision you should discuss with your doctor.

I’ve also had the same response with smokers. I saw a client four days in a row and she was unable to smoke after the sessions. The first day she forced herself to smoke ten cigarettes, but she felt nauseous after. By the fourth day she didn’t have the desire to smoke. Apparently, four months later she started smoking again. The intelligence of our energy fields, if we pay attention, will guide us to health, but we’re in control. Be mindful of what you’re creating. Be responsible.

If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments. Talk soon.
