reports - the importance of health, healing & cleansing

First of, it is important for you to know how you feel and what feelings/emotions are within you prior to doing any healing work. A read-up on emotions if one has not already, may help to verify where one is at, with self. How well do you know yourself? It is a challenge at the best of times for healers/empath’s to work with other's and not pick up or become emotionally attached to another, however it is possible.

Ok, what is it you do, when for instance your hands are dirty? Yes, simply clean them with water *smiles*, and I do NOT say this in a condescending manner whatsoever, the most commonly used ways are often the most overlooked
because they appear too simple.

This IS indeed one of the easiest ways to cleanse your room used for therapy. If you have the chance to do this daily, or at least once a week, (and or have a cleaner come in, specify the following) you will notice a significant difference in the room. (The more often this can be done, the more effective the results).

Washing down the walls with an easy cleaner (spray for example) and wiping off, using fresh clean water, and changing the water, as it gets murky. It is not just dirt that the spray and cloth are wiping off! Energy comes in all forms. Have the ceiling, windows, doors done as often as possibly can be.

Furniture is also important. Keep to a minimal, less clutter; clients have enough stored internally there. Keep books & objects to a minimal view, they are distracting the client and taking away their energy to another focal point. And if possible if pictures are used to decorate the room, keep them neutral, sea/scenic/forest/flower/sun. Pictures that offer a sense of calm.

Have furniture cleaned regularly, if using a cloth material for seating, consider running a vacuum over it often, (don’t forget to regularly change the vacuum bag with a clean one and discard contents OUTSIDE of the room *smiles*), and or replacing cloth furniture with a leather/vinyl type that can be wiped over (with suitable product) after each client leaves.

If by chance you draw curtains, close windows (keep out noise) etc, when you have a client in the room, open the curtains wide up and the windows to allow a flow of natural light and air to penetrate the room, this also helps in cleaning out. A continuously dark room 'holds' the energy of clients to it.

A reputable Feng Shui Consultant can also advise you (for a fee), though well and truly worth it also. Otherwise get some good books from the Local Library and read up, ‘Feng Shui for the Business’. How to place furniture and objects etc in a room for the best flow on? What colour schemes to use for harmony? Obviously you want to flow with your clients in the most harmonious way to achieve results effectively.

Cleansing does not have to be difficult, keep it simple, keep it up and the results you seek will be achieved. If you are able at the end of the day, light an oil burner with a 'light' sense, nothing too potent, to also add a subtle yet pleasant aroma to the room. Do this before you call it a day, and remember to put the candle out before you leave! *gosh*, don’t forget to blow out the candle!

Overnight the aroma will settle in the air and be gentle for the new day. Visit a local Aromatherapist and Or Health Store and discuss the desired affect you wish to achieve and they can advise you on the most suitable oil to burn.

For example; gentle on the nose, pleasant, scent not foreign to most.
Calming, relaxing, soothing.
Allowing clarity of mind, ability to express well.
Have natural cleansing properties.

These kinds of suggestions I actually apply to my life regularly, if say I move into a house, I always go through and clean it top to bottom, inside and out, and I can sense the immediate 'change of energy' in doing so. It works wonders. *smiles*.

For healers, consultants, therapists etc, that ‘give out’ a lot of energy, replenishing such is vitally important. One simple method is to drink plenty of water. Other than the obvious fact our physical bodies need lots of water and that it is ‘good for us’. For empath’s it is even more vital!!! A dear friend of mine continually reminds me to ‘drink more water Christel!’ *winks*. AND eat more regularly.

I have to admit I fell flat on both of the above. A terribly inappropriate eating pattern and lack of water intake sure had me feel more than my fair share. Yet I find that when I am out in public, I have an ‘inbuilt’ sensor that alerts me to eating and drinking! That IS empathy telling me first-hand, that I need the physical resources to keep me flowing more readily.

When I am in the comfort of my own home, and online, I tend to ignore such signs, and feel others more so. Times where I literally had to get up and go ‘crash’ into bed, totally exhausted, because the energetic exchange was one that I couldn’t contend with. Ignoring the fact my physical body needed water and food, left me energy less!

So drink plenty water and eat regularly. We have seen, heard and know of the stories where consultants, therapists, specialists etc are run off there feet with work, and don’t have the time to do so. Well enough! Make the time, and see the results *smiles*.

Taking ones lunch/tea-breaks outdoors is also highly effective. Finding a garden close by, a grass area, a tree to sit under, a stream etc, (getting in touch with nature) is well and truly a ‘life-line’ for many empath’s. The energy exchange from nature to self, self to nature is uplifting and replenishing. The ‘atmosphere’ being neutralistic, has one going back to work with a ‘skip in ones beat’. If one has the opportunity to ‘kick ones shoes off’, and feel the coolness of the grass or water – ahh how delightful.

As a consultant etc, the colour of clothes one wears is also depictive of your ‘moods’ etc, and or can pretty much shape your day. What do colours mean? Can the colour of my cloths really alter my day, my emotions etc? Can your moods alter your day?!

Yes! Learning about colours is not tied to holistic, metaphysical, spiritual alone. It is very much across the broad spectrum. Artists have long known the colours used not only reflect the intended picture, but also the ‘tale’ behind the brush! They know what colours can draw you in, to what kind of ‘mood’ they want to depict.

Designers and decorators know what colours can and will create, what kind of impact, what attracts and detracts, what brings harmony, what deflects it. What is soothing, what is appealing, what is sensual, too what is a clash of colours?

How many babies’ nurseries are painted black? How many hospital rooms are painted bright red? How many Doctors coats are purple with yellow polka dots? When did you last see a Policeman wearing an orange suit, green shoes and striped pink cap? Can you imagine the empathic response?!

The colours can make a difference to how we flow with self and others.
