    I’m looking for some out of the box solutions to my emotional troubles (I come from an abusive childhood).

    I’ve been doing well with therapy and meditation. But I came across this thing called energy healing, and I was wondering if anyone else had any thoughts on that? Anyone done it?

    Also wondering if there are some other cool things that I could try, that you all might know of.

    Wow90,

    I’ve had lots of experience with energy healing, across many different traditions and views. Out of the box healing or in the box healing, fortuitous blossoming arises from our own effort and sweat. No “easy way out”. 🙂 However, consider trying some local yoga classes. If you can bring your body into alignment, in the present moment, then perhaps you can find a good stable inner ground to make untangling “history baggage” from “where am I acting foolishly” much simpler.

    Said differently, energy healing can help you find self love, which helps in doing spring cleaning. What to simply let go of, what needs to be relearned, reparented, and so forth. The healing still has to come from within, though… the ship turns from continued captaining the wheel. 🙂

    With warmth,
    Matt

    I’ve had many sessions with energy workers and I’ve cherished every one. I went originally for chronic fatigue and injury but it’s quite amazing how every condition you have, no matter how randomly you found yourself with it, has some old emotion stuck to it. Clearing emotions and crystallized emotions (and physical things like reducing viral counts if applicable, improving breathing, controlling adrenal surges, etc.) can have profound effects on your state of mind.

    I would note that you have to do the work. It’s your energy body that agrees to shift and allows someone to show you a new pattern of being. And you can’t expect that free light healthy feeling to stick forever if you don’t muscle your negative thinking out the door. (Energy work on children works better than on adults for these reasons).

    I know very well the frustration of dealing with the consequences of child abuse. I have found it helpful to try to develop another awareness…get some distance from my personality and look at myself with fondness and understanding and look at my younger self with a protective feeling. Right now I’m looking out my window at a family of wild turkeys in my backyard. There are 4 small babies who are happily pecking at crickets and the millet that the birds don’t like and have ejected from the bird feeder. The two adults are preening themselves and then snapping to attention to look for predators, of which there are many around here. We need to be like the turkeys. We need to look after ourselves but protect others (and our younger and traumatized selves). We need to feel carefree sometimes and just tend to the basics of life. We need to feel safe and make others feel safe. We need community but we need to be good community members. And we need to make peace with the fact that there will always be black hawks circling above and crafty foxes in the world and none of us gets out without first suffering and experiencing loss. Of course, that’s not the sad bit. The tragedy is that some of us don’t get out without first experiencing a lightness of being, the joy of having good food and a healthy body, of having enough of the basics met that we can go on a spiritual journey.

    I suspect you’re awesome and the right people will eventually come into your life to help you fully realize this!

    I think ‘energy healing’ is quite a broad term, as many healing methods deal with energy. I may misunderstand, though, so forgive me if my answers are off base.

    I took Reiki classes (giving it, that is, not just receiving it) when I was a teenager, and although it didn’t create huge changes for me, I found comfort in it and it was one of the things that helped me work though my own gnarly childhood issues.

    Try it, if it feels good and helps you see things a bit diffently, it might be a helpful thing.

    Mussen, Matt & Will, thanks so much for your responses. Sorry for replying so late, I kind of forgot that I had posted this.

    I am working on self compassion for the abandoned child in me, which is getting better. But, I was pretty heavily abused until I was 20 years old, and did not start therapy until I was 21 (I’m 22 now), so this is all pretty new to me. I am having trouble having compassion for the me of a year ago. I was very embarrassing and hard to deal with. I was in so much pain, and I did not even know it.

    I have been working with meditation a lot, so I guess I was kind of wondering if energy healing was the next step or something. I’m found all sorts of audio that I really like. I once meditated away a headache, which was pretty awesome. And yes Will, I was talking about Reiki and things like that 🙂
