Reclaiming your Innocence, Joy and Mission

Healing the Child within has been one of the most vital aspects of working with healing energies, in my own life. Reclaiming that part of myself was significant to my Path in many ways. This article tells more about the process of rediscovering our original essence.

What is Original Essence Recovery? Do you remember who you are? At birth, you were a fully conscious being of Spirit. You knew your purpose and your potential. Is that knowing still vibrant in you?

Healing the Pain of Your Past

If you don't recall that soul mission clearly, it is because of distractions that occurred between the time of your conception, and age seven. Your truth has been clouded by others, and a part of you has shut down.

This is normal, a necessary component to the experience of being human, and the journey of becoming Divinely Human. If you are reading these words, it is reasonable to assume that some part of you has decided to face the challenges of your lifetime.

Some part of you has agreed to notice the influences of those who surrounded you during those formative early years parents, relatives, baby-sitters, friends, enemies, physicians, and religious role models and learn the lessons within having chosen those circumstances to distract yourself. Some deep part of you has decided to heal and release non-progressive patterns of thinking and behavior. "Original Essence Recovery" is a process of assisting you, at a cellular level, with the decision to do what you came to do.

As with all my work, the session will most likely include a combination of Reiki, reflexology and cranial flight, and may also include transformative sound or other energy structures for healing. Each session is Spirit directed and addresses the level of healing that is needed at the time, if there are physical problems, the energy may direct itself toward Co-Creative Healing of the organs or body parts involved; if it is time for submerged memories to emerge and be released or integrated, then contact is made directly with your memory of yourself as a child, at the point of trauma.

The child within is encouraged to express and release anything that has been held. Sometimes, I will serve as a channel for the child. Other times, you will receive memories directly. Sometimes, and this is a joy, there is no pressing physical or emotional work to be done and Spirit will lead someone to me so they may receive a message, a vision, ancient memory, or spiritual acceleration through direct energy transfer. As we heal, there will be more and more work at this level but I understand and accept that the other clearing is just as necessary.

To receive pure Spirit energies when the physical, mental, or emotional bodies are blocked can be very traumatic to the system and I prefer a more gentle approach. Working as a healer, I lay on hands with the intent to release, at a cellular level, the emotions and memories that have surfaced. Suppressed memories and blocks to energy are not only in the mind, but stored in the body tissues as well. For permanent healing, this combination of memory recall, full expression (in a loving environment of support, comfort and validation), and body-based, Spirit directed cellular release is the most effective way of healing the past that I've ever witnessed.

Traditional therapy is very valuable, for it allows the adult you are now to talk about and begin to understand the source of negative reactions and patterns. Still, there are those who cannot heal the past, even after extensive counseling, therapy, or hypnotherapy. This is where "Original Essence Recovery" can help. Through healing of the mental, emotional and physical bodies, the way is cleared for higher frequencies of spiritual energy.

Healing the Child within is a process, requiring commitment. A relationship of trust must be built between the healer and the child, as well as between the child and the adult self. The rewards of the work are many, including re-connection with your true self a joyous, spontaneous, creative, and unconditionally loving being remembrance of your path and clarity about your life, clearing of negative patterns, healing of family relations, and bursts of energy that may amaze you, regardless of age.

Miraculous healing is possible indeed, I have witnessed it. However, co-creative healing (reflexology, herbal medicines, energy balancing, laying on of hands, Original Essence Recovery) is not represented as a substitute for traditional medicine but, instead, as a viable supplement to whatever you are currently doing to treat the condition. The important thing is that you heal utilizing the combination of traditional/alternative medicine that works for you.

How do you know if Original Essence Recovery will benefit you?

Let the child within you hear the following words: "I speak directly to the Child within. I want you to know I have prepared a safe place for you. In this place, you will not be violated. In this place, you will not be judged. In this place, you will be loved, honored, respected and supported. In this place, you will be listened to, accepted, and allowed complete freedom to express whatever you need to express. Here, in this safe place, you can feel whatever you need to feel. Here, you'll be comforted and understood. You have carried some burdens for a long time. You were able to do that because you are smart and very strong. You had to do that because you had no choice. I want you to know that you have different choices now.

Now, if you choose, you can begin to let go of some of those burdens, that pain, and those secret feelings. Anything you want to release can be released, and I will help you. Anything you still need to hold on to, to make you feel safe, you can hold on to. I will honor your boundaries. I understand you tried to speak out some things before, and were not allowed to be yourself or tell your truth. I understand that it may take a little time before you trust me, and that is good because it means you have learned to protect yourself. I will give you the time you need to trust me, and to trust the adult you have become. You can remember a little or a lot, or you can just let the memories release through emotion or breath. You have different choices now. You are in control. Remember who you are."

If you had any strong reaction to the words just read, such as numbness, sadness, excitement, or anger, "Original Essence Recovery" is recommended.

Original Essence Recovery: While not intended to replace any needed mental or emotional help of more traditional types which may be indicated, I have seen miraculous healing occur when one takes the time to simply create Sacred Space for the child within, in the presence of a Lightworker who knows how to facilitate cellular release.  I do this work and there are also other healers who do.  Search for a healing facilitator in your area or, if it feels right to your Spirit, read more about my approach to healing the inner child here.
