You don’t need to convince me of the mental, physical, or spiritual benefits of energy healing or other holistic treatments. I’ve been a subscriber for a while. I have an energy healer on a regular basis. He is a nomad, doesn’t wear shoes, doesn’t have a phone, doesn’t use social media (and often encourages me to stop doing all of the above too) in order to help me on my energy healing journey. (Unfortunately, due to work commitments, I cannot do that).
Award-winning chiropractor and counselor Dr. sarah jane I was in town so naturally I jumped at the chance to meet her. 2023 was a hellish year. Frankly, I need as many spiritual doctors (for want of a better word) as possible for my case.
Dr. Sarah’s form of healing is different from the energy healing that I am accustomed to. And Dr. Sarah herself was unlike any energy healer I’ve ever met.
Spinal Energetics, created by Dr. Sarah herself, combines Eastern and Western techniques to interact with a person’s spine, nervous system, and energy field. According to her website, Spinal Energetic aims to “harness one’s own innate wisdom to heal oneself.”
Sessions took place in a bright and peaceful studio (Sarah has three clinics in Melbourne: Richmond, Armadale and Calista). I was sitting on her porch, drinking cold water, waiting for her to finish her previous girlfriend’s appointment, feeling her excitement and anxiety in equal measure.
Soon she came down the stairs wearing a green power suit and ushered me into a private room. She asked me some questions about myself. And I quickly felt comfortable enough to unload the emotional baggage I had been carrying. I’m a Scorpio and I usually keep everything to myself until it explodes, so just having a conversation was very soothing. She has a calm yet powerful presence. I immediately knew she was a Gemini and that explains everything.
It was time for me to lie down on her table and she started scanning my body with her hands to find what was taxing my energy—surprisingly so.
She noticed the fact that I was “grieving the loss of a woman” (this was a few days after my friend’s first anniversary). She finds me severely overworked and exhausted (I was managing the team and site alone at her PTV while waiting for a new editor-in-chief to arrive). And she even pinpoints certain flaws and burdens that I have lived with that are too personal to share.
The energy leaving my body was almost screaming for help. Dr. Sarah identified areas in my energy field that needed healing and began working immediately.
She pulled my left arm and energetically performed the release, but not my right arm as I was having shoulder pain (you should let her know in advance if you have an injury).
The pulling force was so strong that my arm tingled, but I felt a little lighter as a result. Like the aforementioned emotional baggage was lifted.
From there, when I closed my eyes, she scanned my body in a Reiki-like manner, making a hissing sound. It was as if she had lifted some of her stress, sadness, and trauma from my energy field.
When the session ended and I said goodbye to her, I certainly felt more at peace than before, despite returning to a chaotic life.
The sessions felt like a colony of souls. It won’t solve all your problems and it won’t solve anything, but it will free your energy field from the bad shit you’re carrying and help you live a lighter life.
