Energy work

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 

Anyone partaking in energy healing during their pregnancy. Either doing it for themselves or seeing an energy practitioner such as, but not limited to, Reiki, acupuncture, massage (can be very energetic as well as physical), cranial sacral therapy etc. etc...

 

I myself am an energy healer. My work is based in Reiki, but has expanded well past that. I do vibrational healing techniques. I give myself a lot of Reiki though. I keep my hands on my uterus/belly area quite a bit. I also get the above mentioned energy sessions from others. I haven't been to my acupuncturist yet, but I really need too; just haven't had the time with the holidays and all.

 

I do find the Reiki to help with the morning sickness. It really calms it down.  And I realized this morning I prob. could use some chakra balancing. I'm sure that gestating another human throws chakras out of alignment, just as it does everything else.

 

I love this 7 minute tune up by well regarded sound healer Jonathan Goldman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8kwc1lkiAQ

i do/have done Reiki on myself... for me it helps most with the headaches which are just starting to pop up. (I'll have cluster headaches for a few weeks) It's even better when I can get someone else to do it (my son) but doesn't happen as often anymore.

Yes! Reiki is so great for headaches! That's my go to if I feel like I have one coming on.

I taught my oldest son how to really harness the energy in his hands, he has magical hands... I told him if he ever sought a job in massage therapy he'd probably make a fortune but he's also sensitive and would probably have some lasting effects from taking everybody's negative energy... I tried to teach him how to purge it as well but he wasn't quite as good at that. He's 16 now so he rarely rubs my neck or head anymore, lol, though sometimes he surprises me.

My mom does healing touch and she gives me a treatment every time I see her. I had one done when I was probably about 4 or 5 days pregnant, but not since. If she lived closer, I'd get them more frequently.

I had cranial sacral my last pregnancy and will this pregnancy too (mostly the unwinding kind). I also NEED so energy work done (see the Signs and Symptoms thread). I would have gone in already, but $$ is keeping me form going. I hope to go in very soon!

I also would like to see my cranial-sacral therapist. I haven't been in over a year b/c of lack of funds, but I want to find the $$$ for it this pregnancy.  I sometimes have pain in my coccyx that would also benefit from that kind of work.... putting this on my to-do list!

I also do Reiki on my belly. It's just such a natural positioning of the hands. It helps release a lot of knots that I have...digestive or otherwise. And I find myself resorting to the same hand positioning even when I'm sleeping. I've always had a lot of issues around my abdomen and uterus, so I hardly spend any time on any other part of my body.

 

I actually have a monthly massage membership where I'm like 4-5 massages behind. I'm not sure why I'm so hesitant - I think because they don't specialize in prenatal massage, I don't know if I trust the therapists 100%. Also, I've just been so sick, being touched is the last thing on my list.

 

I've never done cranial-sacral therapy but it sounds delightful! I've had Polarity treatments in the past, which I LOVED. Sounds along the same lines.

Demeter- I love that you recognized the energy healer in your son and have been able to guide him somewhat in regards to it. I'm sure any teenager, just wants to be a teen though, and not a weird healer. lol  I hope he comes back to it at some point in his life though. If only for himself.

 

I'm excited to read so many of you are partaking in many wonderful healing modalities. There are so many out there.

 

Willovia- I so very often have my hands in that position too. It is such a natural position. It will be more challenging to do as we get along in our pregnancies and are only lying on our sides though. May just be a one handed thing. I do it a lot when sitting on the couch too though.

 

 

This baby I'm carrying now is a very high vibrating baby. She's even knocking me for a loop and I resonate at a pretty high frequency on my own.  I've been expecting her for 4 years though. And I've been expecting this about her. I'm pretty sure she's going to school me in all things life, being a healer, energy etc.   She's intense.

 

Anyone feel anything in particular about their babe as far as energy is concerned?

This is exactly how I've been thinking. My husband and I are pretty intuitive. He's been sensing her for the past year and a half, and he connected with her way before we decided to start trying. We also have conversations about the kind of teaching she's going to do for us. I believe she and I are going to be very opposite and that the two of them are going to be an instant match. Energy-wise, I'm coming to terms with the fact that we are not on the same vibration. And that's okay. I think that our very different energies are what's caused me so much discomfort the past few weeks. Hard to describe, but she's definitely giving me a run for my money already.

 

I'm trying to prepare a little more and am going to start reading up on Indigos, just in case. Thanks so much for the previous recommendations, Jamie. I'm just starting to feel a little better where I can start reading, so I'm going to pick them up!

Willovia- this is very exciting to read. Really made me smile. I'm totally stoked that your dh is so tapped in. You too, but in general I don't find males that admit it as often, so that excites me!

And I'm right there with you on the diff. vibrational levels. Yowza! My girl's already present and helping me with my healing work. I've felt her and had several clients feel her as well. One client heard her giggle! I thought that was cute.

I must admit that I do want to be careful not to push my agenda on her though. That's impt. to me. So sometimes I try to step back from what I believe I'm feeling and realize that she could be nothing like I'm thinking, expecting and that's okay. I'm all for individuality. So I'm trying to keep myself in check. But I do think about these things and enjoy having conversations about it.

 

I do want to tell you more about the Indigo and Crystal children. I will soon. Just feeling low on energy to type out all that stuff. :)

I'm glad you started thi thread! I love talking about this kind of stuff and it's great to read other people who are experiencing the same things. DH and I are both Pisces so together I think we tap into things a little deeper than words can articulate. That's so funny that your girl is coming through your work already. She's ready to make her mark!

 

I really like what you said about not pushing your agenda. I need to keep that in mind. I have a strong hunch that her personality is going to go against the grain of who I am, so I do need to learn to pull back and not assume my own identity or quirks onto her. I guess the earlier I learn to do that, the better.

 

I think I would be totally and utterly shocked if I were to find out we're not having a girl. She just exists already in our minds and is present in so much that we do. DH had dreams of what she would look like and some of the things he experiences gives me goosebumps. He would come home from work and tell me how he felt her surrounding him during the day, almost watching over him. And then one day she just disappeared. He stopped sensing her. A few weeks later is when we found out we were pregnant. So, in his mind, she went from existing in his spiritual world to now existing in the more present realm. It makes sense.

 

I'm excited to learn more! I've done a little reading on Crystal children, and DH relates to them more so than me. But regardless of definition, whatever she does turn out to be, intuitive or not, I'm ready to get this show on the road and meet her!

I would be utterly shocked as well if this babe wasn't a girl..speechless actually (and that's a rare thing). Here's my story about this babe:


When Wyatt (my 2nd) was two WEEKS old, I was holding him and walking through my home and I heard a voice (an intuitive voice, not my own, spirits voice) and it said, "you are not done, you will have another child and you won't be able to prevent it, even if you think you want to!"  This was funny to me b/c Wyatt's pregnancy was hard on my physically and after several years of pregnancy and breastfeeding and still going strong, I felt pretty done. And dh was even considering getting a vasectomy.  So I told dhwhat happened and he just brushed it off. Over the years I started to feel the presence of a little girl spirit around me. And I would speak with different intuitive friends and professionals and without even asking, the first thing most of them would say to me is: "Did you know you have a little girl around you and she REALLY wants to come in."  But over the years I've communicated and asked her not to b/c it just never seemed like the right time. Sometimes I would even think that it would just be best not to go there at all. Dh never really wanted the third that much. He's known about the little girl over the years though. Finally, 10 weeks ago I felt this huge surge/urge that it was time to allow her to come in. And I told dh. He decided to give me a chance. It took one try (as I knew it would. I knew she was just waiting for permission). Literally, one time. And voila here we are.

 

I just can't see how it couldn't be this baby that has made herself well known for 4 years. So I'm looking forward to meeting her Earthside. love.gif

:) Jamie, I felt my 3rd son's presence before my second son was even born. I was pregnant with him, had his name picked out and everything.... but also had #3's name picked out. When we found out we were having out 3rd boy I knew he was going to be my little Aidan. His name, to me, is so beautiful.

 

 

I wish I had some intuition about this babe... but I really don't. I did at first, when I got the + I thought boy but as time has gone on I've felt girl. I'm really not sure if that's wishful thinking or what, though, lol.

Great story Demeter. I love hearing other women's intuitions about their children and pregnancies!
