To Fear or Not To Fear

I became a Reiki Master in 2000 without even knowing what Reiki or Energy Healing was.  I just knew I wanted to learn this thing called Reiki.  I found it exciting that I could ease someones headache or relieve pain in someones body.  I've continued to practice Reiki throughout the years, and have studied with teachers and again, practiced my trade.  Last year I decided to expand my energy healing and began studying Cranial Sacral.

As of this writing I have completed six levels of Cranial Sacral (level 7 is in 3 weeks).  Each level is held over four days, and we work on each other all four days.  We learn new Cranial techniques then practice on each other, and end each day giving each other full 1 hour sessions.  I usually receive anywhere from 8-12 sessions per level, that's a lot of energy work in one weekend!  To say I've changed in the past year, since starting Cranial Sacral, is an understatement.  I've gone through so many ups and downs, I've cleared out old beliefs, had low vibrational energies removed, and rebuilt myself after each level.  WOW! What a ride!  During all this time I had the support of my friends, fellow classmates, and my teacher, and I am thankful for all of it.  Sometimes I had to shout my frustrations, or cry or just be quiet and everyone gave me the space to do just that.  They all knew I was clearing, and anything I said was not directed at them, I was just moving it out of my field.  Again,  thank you all for being there with me.

That all being said, you might be wondering about the low vibrational energies I've cleared.  Many people like to call this 'negative' energy, or blockages, maybe you use evil or demon to describe it.  I'd agree that it is all of that.  If its not uplifting, its negative.  If you aren't in the flow you have a blockage.  If it keeps you from doing what you want, its evil or a demon.  Its just a title to describe an unwanted energy.

When I explain a 'blockage' to you, I am not going to scare you about it because I do not come from a place of fear.  I come from a place of love, and I want you to open up to your true light being self, not because I scared you into it, but because you want to do it.  Everyone has a low vibrational energy or two to clear out, some people have more.  Its just the way that it is.

Fear comes into play when someone puts that fear in your mind and you believe it.  That fear belief than permeates all through your body, your cellular structure and becomes a part of who you are.  This fear get energized, it even has an intelligence or consciousness.  Its that voice you hear in your head that tells you "don't do it," "ooooh, we better be careful over there,"  or it stops us dead in our tracks and we completely shut down.  The question to have at this point would be "where did this fear come from."

I ask myself this question all the time.  "Where did this come from?"  "Is it mine?"  "Who gave me this information, and why did I take it in?"  These questions help you to begin the process of clearing.  Clearing out thoughts and beliefs that no longer serve you.

It could be you heard the information in a class or workshop, maybe a psychic told you to be fearful of it, maybe you read a channeled book or blog and it created fear in you.  So you took the information and created an energetic for it in your beliefs and you auric field.  What you heard was information from lower vibrational energies, perhaps the channeling was the person's fears coming out in the channeling.  You heard or received some kind of information, its up to you to be discerning of the information you bring into your beliefs and energy field.  Don't be fearful of having a reading or attending a channeling or reading a book, consider the information and how its presented.  Then decide what you'll do with it.

High vibrational energy feels good.  Information from a high vibrational channeling, or reading is always helpful with your best interest in mind.  You might receive a caution about something, but its not all spooky, and it does not create a fear within you.  High vibrational energies emit love, joy and forward movement.

I regularly have Cranial Sacral sessions done on me because I enjoy clearing out my stuff.  I turn my blockages, which we now know are fears or low vibrational energy (not scary), into flower pots.  Nothing spooky about a flower pot, right?  Since I've been clearing out my blockages, my intuitive gifts and healing style have opened up and gone through the roof.  I've removed the block of 'self-doubt' and the block of 'am I good enough' and its so wonderfully freeing I can't even explain it.  When anything comes up, that doesn't belong, I know it right away and I go have a session with my teacher or one of his healers.  I get it taken care of right away because I do not like how I feel with a block in my energy field.

Anyone in the healing field would benefit greatly from having regular sessions on themselves.  Trade with other practitioners, we need to be clear so we can fully assist others in being clear.  I trade with other Cranial Sacral practitioners, Reiki healers, and other healing modalities.  I like being clear and I like (well, Love) Energy Healing.  It is my passion and desire to help you, when you are ready, to move past your fears, break down your blockages and watch as you blossom into the being of light you are meant to be.  The transformation is pure beauty!

Be in Peace!

Summer Solstice 2013

Wow! What energies have been emerging this week.  Have you felt them?  I know we have.  Our crown chakras have been expanding and feeling very 'fluffy' this past week.  I feel like my connection to Source is 'on' all the time.  Now I know it is, but sometimes I am not focused on it.  It seems that all I have to do is have a thought or question in my mind and I can feel the information being downloaded through my crown chakra right away.  Its a very cool sensation.

During our Channeling Event on the Summer Solstice, the Divine Energy of the Gods & Goddesses gave everyone in attendance a boost to their crown chakras.  This boost actually changed the frequency of the vibration of the crown chakra to align it with Source, akashic records, guides, angels and the ascended masters.  It allows the information to flow more freely and easily.  It also comes with trust.  It was said that "you would make no mistake that you were receiving divine information/guidance."  As everyone has free will, this blessing was offered to those who wanted it, and anyone who didn't want it wouldn't receive it and it would be ok.  Of course everyone said 'yes'.   The Divine Energy would like to make this energy available to you as well, if you would like it.  Please read the words below and then sit quietly for as long as you like and feel the energy as it enters your crown chakra and permeates all throughout your being.

Take a few deep relaxing deep breaths, feel yourself getting centered, allow your mind to quiet, continue breathing...Feel our presence as we open and expand your crown chakra...now we clear your chakra and change the frequency of your connection and raise the vibration of your crown chakra...continue taking nice deep breaths....sit as long as you like feeling your crown chakra change in vibration...when you are ready come back into your body and write about your experience, you might want to remember it...
We thank you
The Divine Energy of
The Gods and Goddesses

Well how did that feel to you?  Drop us a line and let us know.  We know it was fabulous for us and for everyone in attendance at the channeling event.  Email us your experience.

The Importance of Support

It is important to be supported in whatever you do.  When you have the support of those around you, you are more likely to stay in that energy, or mindset.  Now the challenge comes when you are ready to step out of the old ways & become something new.  Perhaps you want to change a belief, or a way of doing things.  Once the change has happened, you need to be around 'like-minded' people.  They will support you in your new way of being because its where they are.  The old ways & the old friends or groups will only support you in how you used to be.  It doesn't mean you have to ditch all your friends & family, it means you need to find people that you can regularly meet with to keep you supported.    

Many time people do workshops, take classes, listen to lectures, even have energy sessions done, they feel great after its done & even several day later.  However, without the support, the old way you worked to change, will come back.  Even after the workshops, you have to continue the work.  You will want to find people/groups/classes etc that support you & how you want to be, not where you used to be.  When I work on myself, and make changes, I have to let my group know what I've done so they will support me.  I tell them to also let me know when I'm backtracking, so I don't undo what I've done.  I also make sure I have regular Cranial Sacral sessions, Intuitive Readings & Reiki (this is my preferred method) done for my personal growth & support.  It is important to take care of yourself, and to maintain the work you've done.  You may need a Reiki session one week, an Intuitive Reading another week and a Cranial Sacral session another time, or whatever you like. 

I know that the familiar is comfortable, and sometimes it seems easier to just fall back in with the same crowd and the same way of being.  Sometimes working on ourselves and making changes is hard work, sometimes its easy.  Regardless if it was hard or easy, you still need to be supported when you make changes. Support keeps you in that new space, in the new energy. Support keeps the old from creeping back in! 

Be at Peace,
Donna Damato

Cranial Sacral

Just yesterday I had the honor of working with a beautiful woman. She came in wanting some kind of energy work. She was feeling drained, tired and energetically heavy. She told me she's gained weight in her mid section & diet doesn't seem to be working. She also told me that a small bump has appeared on her calf. She wanted help getting back to 'how she used to be'

I suggested a Cranial Sacral Session to her. I explained that during the session we would look at why you are feeling all these things, what/where is the root for all this heaviness. I also told here that we'd be pulling the band-aid off the wound, looking at the wound & then healing the wound. She said yes, without hesitation, this is what she wanted.

During the session it came up that her husband had left her & their 7 year old son. She couldn't understand why. She was spending much time trying to figure it out. During a part of the session called Sacred Journey, I had her feel & experience her sadness, to actually sit in it for a bit. I encouraged her through the whole journey & filled her with light & unconditional love to help her move through her emotions of sadness. She did & she was absolutely glowing after she allowed herself to be in the emotion & then to release it.

To help strengthen her, I had her take her sons hand & walk down a path together, then I brought her out of the altered state & back into her body & room.

She just laid there in that new energy for a good 10 minutes. Again, just beautiful!

Suppressed Emotions showed up in her physical body as weight gain in the mid section & as a bump on her calf. They showed up as heavy feeling & draining in her energetic field. They showed up as blocks to her moving forward.

Cranial Sacral combined with Sacred Journey Therapy work together to eliminate or even transmute the 'blocks' so you can move forward with your life, your dreams, whatever it is that you want to do or be!

Donna Damato is a Cranial Sacral and Sacred Journey Therapy student at Sacred Journey Institute - Higher Education for Lightworkers, in Tinley Park, IL. She receives Cranial Sacral & Sacred Journey treatments herself on a regular basis. This work allows Donna to combine her love of Energy, Healing, Intuition & Intention into one session. This can be done over Skype or remote as well.

Blockages

What about blockages?  Everyone has them so what's the big deal?  I've often wondered why people always ask me, after a Reiki/Energy Healing Session, where they are blocked, or What Blockages or Negative energies did I pick up on while I worked on them. My answer is this: "I do not focus on blockages or Negative Energy (or negative anything). My focus is on what is best for you, the client, right here and right now.  That which is not the best for you must go, if you are ready."

I see many psychic/healers websites that describe how they can clear blockages, remove negative energy/entity...to me it seems to evoke an emotion of FEAR.  When Fear is used in any situation, I turn away from it.  I want to do things because I think its a good idea or I think its time to do it, not because someone 'freaked' me out.  Because of this I do not use Fear. I have used the word 'blockage' in some of my descriptions only because it is a word that is understood.  However, I do not focus on that, I focus on you and what is best for you in this moment.  Sometimes releasing an emotion or issue is not best for you right now, and if that is the case I will not force it to go.  I will discuss it with you, and allow you to make the decision to 'go after it' or not, its all on your time...not mine.  If I tell you all about how all these negative blockages are affecting you, you most likely will have a session with me to remove them. I do not believe that I can 'remove' anyone's blockages.

I believe that together we can work through them, experience them, and then you can release it while I assist/talk you through it. I believe it is important to anyone's healing process to be part of the release process. I know that I enjoy being a part of my releases (perhaps that makes me weird?). I figure that I am the one who created or called to me the blockage or whatever term you want to use, so I should be involved in the releasing.  By taking responsibility for the blockages, you empower yourself and you create a new energetic way of being.  Just like healthcare, when you choose to go outside of mainstream medical, or you add an alternative to your current healing, you take responsibility for your health.  I understand that insurance plays a big part of who/where you will go, but consider this:  "When you choose your healthcare based on insurance coverage, you are giving the responsibility for you healing to the insurance company.  When you choose based on how you want to heal, you take the responsibility." (D. Massat, Sacred Journey Institute).   My Cranial Sacral teacher tells us this during every class, and I find it to be true.  Now, I'm not saying to never see a medical professional.  I just want to evoke a new thought process.  There are so many alternative therapies out there, and most work wonderful with your current medical treatment(s).  In many cases, energy healing promotes faster healing.  It's worth a try, and if you do or don't like it, then you know if its something you'd pursue or not.

I use two types of energy healing modalities to assist clients with release work. I use Cranial Sacral and Reiki. I use Reiki to assist with deep relaxation and stress reduction. I also align the Chakras so they are working with your energetics, however that may be. There will be some releases with Reiki, and those energetics are found in the Aura and sometimes the physical.  I like to add Reiki in between Cranial Sacral sessions to assist your physical and energetic bodies in healing.

I use Cranial Sacral as a method of going deeper into the emotional release work that I love so much. During a Cranial Sacral session, you will go into an altered state (like a meditative fluffy state) here we work on releasing in the Astral Plane. Most clients experience a journey through 2 or 3 areas that are needing to be released at this time. For example: One client felt stuck in making decisions. Her first journey brought her to a ditch filled with black gooey tar like stuff (her indecision). I had her walk through the goo, and I talked her all they way through it, and in the end she released that. It was beautiful for me to see and help her through.

Both methods allow for release, it is up to you to decide how deep you want to go. Are you ready to be "done with it?" Do you want to move forward in your body, mind & spirit? These Energy Session, Reiki &/or Cranial Sacral are powerful healing tools that I enjoy using to assist clients in healing themselves.
