Introspective Odyssey

Some sessions leave me speechless. Not because of anything I did, but because of what the body is capable of when it feels truly safe, seen, and ready to release. Last week, I held space for a woman who’s been on a long and dedicated healing path. Her story is one of resilience—from illness in childhood and adulthood to a slow but steady return to vitality over the past six years. We began with CranioSacral Therapy , but the session gently evolved into something deeper— meditative work and somatoemotional release . It was quiet. Intentional. Energetic. And, most notably... I never laid a hand on her. (Well—technically, I did. I used gentle CranioSacral touch, which is so subtle that a bystander might not even notice my hands moving. And just to be clear—I never touched her calves. My hands were primarily on her torso, nowhere near the area where the physical shift occurred.) And yet—this is the message I received from her afterward: I’m not usually one to text anyone on a weeken...

There is a small point in the center of the chest, between the breasts, that holds ancient stories. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this point is called CV17 – the Sea of Tranquility . In energy healing, it lives at the heart chakra, the space of love, grief, breath, and belonging. When this spot becomes tender—aching, sore, or dense—it is often more than physical. It is a message. A doorway. A sacred ache. Recently, a dear friend and fellow energy explorer reached out to share her experience. She described deep tenderness at this heart point, anxiety that kept looping, and the sense of being pressed for time—pushed by certification deadlines and expectations she had placed on herself. She wondered if massaging this spot would make the pain go away. But what if the pain wasn’t asking to be erased? What if it was asking to be understood ? When the Heart is Sore from Efforting The heart center often carries the weight of our shoulds —the invisible timelines we place on ourselves....

 In the realm of spiritual healing, metaphysical mentoring, and intuitive guidance, we often speak of moments of deep connection, channeling, and flow. But there’s another type of experience—one that’s less discussed yet equally profound: the sudden silence, the blank mind, the still point. This experience often arises unexpectedly during sessions, meditations, or moments of deep presence. A healer may be speaking, receiving insights, and then—everything stops. Words vanish. Thoughts pause. The space becomes completely quiet. To the ego-mind, this can feel disorienting, even alarming. But from a spiritual and energetic perspective, this stillness is anything but empty. It is a threshold space , a recalibration point, a sacred pause. What Is the Still Point? The "still point" is a moment when your conscious mind is lovingly set aside so that something deeper may come through—or simply be. It may feel like: A complete blankness of thought A sudden halt in verbal or me...
