It's been a while since I last wrote. This year has brought many changes, and with those, plenty of challenges. Still, this topic has been on my mind, and it feels important to share, especially as I begin working with new clients more regularly.
I've been practicing energy work for over three years now. Though that may seem brief, the amount I've learned is vast and continues to grow. I’m a Reiki Master, guide Reiki journeys, conduct Biofield Tuning, and am studying Sacred Anatomy Energy Medicine. These three modalities, along with my clients, are teaching me a great deal—not only about energy work but also about my own healing journey. I want to share some key points I’ve gathered so far.
1. Healing can be subtle; your conscious mind may not always recognize it.
For instance, I used to feel a sense of separation from Source. This deep disconnect affected my growth both personally and as a practitioner. During my Karuna Reiki attunement, that sense of separation completely dissolved. I didn’t even realize it until a months later when I recalled the issue and noticed it was gone. Sometimes, healing is profound but silent—our minds don’t immediately register the change, especially when healing occurs in layers of our being outside conscious awareness.
When you are not suffering from a problem anymore, sometimes you don’t even remember that it was a problem.
2. Healing can feel like chipping away at a massive structure, yet it is cumulative.
This may be one of the most challenging aspects for people to accept. Many seek immediate, tangible results or significant breakthroughs, which aren’t always typical. I get it, you paid money and you want to see if it was worth it. However, healing is often a process, much like peeling an onion. While you may address an aspect of a problem, it may reappear later in a different form, not because the initial healing was ineffective but because there is still more to uncover and resolve.
In my Sacred Anatomy class, we focus on healing various facets of the soul's anatomy. I often return the same procedure to rebuild and strengthen my Human Electromagnetic Field (HEMF, Biofield or Aura) weekly while doing self-healing. I asked my teacher why this is and she explained that I am gradually chipping away at a deep-seated issue impacting my HEMF. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed a significant shift—the HEMF feels much stronger and I don't need to do it weekly anymore.
3. Sometimes, the conscious mind isn’t in charge.
A few times at the end of a Biofield Tuning session, a client may share significant events in their lives, like the passing of a loved one, and expected that memory to arise during the session and felt surprised that I did not catch it. However, healing doesn’t necessarily follow the conscious mind’s preferences or expectations. Just because an event was significant doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ready or needs to be healed at this time. This doesn’t imply that the work is ineffective or that the practitioner isn’t skilled—it simply means that particular issue isn’t ready to surface yet.
Likewise, if you have an intention to work on a specific event in time, what is uncovered may not align with how you are experiencing the problem. For example, in Reiki Journeys you may want to address a specific topic, but what is being shown about that topic is pointing in an entirely different direction than one might expect.
The mind doesn’t always have the final say in what’s ready to heal—it’s a co-creative process that involves the body, energy field, and the many layers of consciousness.
4. Healing can extend beyond one lifetime.
There are times I encounter emotions that feel tied to experiences I haven’t had in this lifetime. For example, whenever I enter a Middle Eastern restaurant, hear the music, or smell the spices, I’m transported to a different time and place, filled with an array of emotions and a sense of unfinished business. I even moved to Turkey to see if I could satisfy these emotions, however that did not work.
This has been a challenge—simply trying to enjoy a good Turkish coffee without triggering a whirlwind of feelings linked to a time before. Over the last decade, I’ve gradually worked on healing these unresolved issues and even recognized traces of how they have influenced my current life.
Due to the intense reaction I had to all things Middle East, I could make the association that I could have had a past life that needed to be resolved. However many times, you might not even know that you are healing something that may have taken place long before this lifetime.
It’s humbling and yet frustrating to recognize that some healing may be a process spanning multiple lifetimes.
5. We’re not isolated; some wounds are collective.
Many issues span generations, rooted not in one individual but woven into the fabric of families and society. Emotional, social, and cultural patterns can ripple through generations. I’ve seen it within my own family, with certain patterns carried from one generation to the next. Each new generation has worked to chip away at what no longer feels right, consciously stopping these cycles to create a healthier path for their children.
Movements like #MeToo, for example, offer a collective opportunity to heal. Publicly acknowledging shared experiences of trauma creates a safer, more supportive space for many to open up and heal from their own stories.
6. Healing doesn’t occur in a vacuum of our brain; it’s a collaborative process with the larger energetic structure - mind, body, and soul.
Often, people seek help when they feel emotional or physical discomfort, but we’re composed of so many interconnected parts beyond just the mind. Expanding our awareness of these different parts of ourselves and building a relationship with them can be very empowering. Taking the stand of being in collaboration with the rest of your larger self rather than just occupying it, can shift the way you face and overcome life’s issues while expanding the perception of who you are.
For me, learning about my energy structure and connecting with the invisible aspects of myself was transformative. Building a relationship with my Human Electromagnetic Field (HEMF, Biofeild or Aura) gave me greater autonomy. It was not just my body that I needed to consciously take care of but also my HEMF. By taking care of my HEMF, my HEMF started taking care of me as well.
You don’t have to dive into complex practices—starting with your body alone can be transformative. Build a relationship with your skin, your heart, and even your breath. Ask them what they need or how you can work together. Rather than thinking, "I have a skin," try shifting to, "I am with my skin," cultivating a more respectful, caring relationship with it.
7. Most Importantly, true healing requires ownership and active participation.
While I deeply cherish and am honored to work with my clients, I firmly believe the real work lies in the client’s hands. A practitioner can facilitate, support, and help unveil what needs to be seen, but the commitment to release, expand, and grow is ultimately up to the individual. Practitioners can move energy and uncover things, but it's the person who has to reflect, digest, and actively take steps to reinforce the change they want to see.

Ultimately, healing is a journey—a cumulative, often invisible, and sometimes mysterious process but one that is always worth the effort.
Reflecting on the last 10 years, I can see—and others have noticed—that I've truly changed. I feel lighter and experience a greater sense of spaciousness within myself. There wasn’t one single moment of healing that caused this shift; rather, it was the result of many different experiences and practices over time. I'm genuinely excited to see who I’ll become in the next decade.
