Healing the world, together

I’ve been leading group healing ceremonies every month for over four years.

While every gathering is so unique, time and again I’m reminded of the profound medicine that awakens within each of us when we come together for the purpose of healing.

I love this photo taken by Julie Magnussen because, for an introverted person, I do use my voice—talking and singing—a lot when we gather.

But the words are much more than a unidirectional transmission. The words are part of what creates energetic space for alignment, balance, and clarity.

The words allow you to nestle in with a deeper understanding in your mind so that your body can be present to receive.

The voice—spoken and sung—has been used in healing for millennia, and perhaps since the dawn of humankind.

The voice is part of the energetic tapestry what we weave together as we collect.

Just as your voice creates a frequency, your presence emanates a frequency, which then interacts with all of the other frequencies in the room (both in-person and virtually).

And together—with reiki and sound and sacred presence—we create coherence, which is the balm that is so needed in our world today.

We counter the things that don’t make sense by creating space for greater coherence.

And the harmonization that we bring forth together, not only heals ourselves, but also heals the world.
