LaHo-Chi - Spiritually Based Healing
About
Me:
Professionally, I am a Master’s prepared Psychiatric Clinical
Nurse Specialist. While first in nursing school, as I learned
more about subjects such as biology and anatomy and physiology,
not only did I become more scientific, I also became more spiritual.
I was amazed by the way the human body worked and wanted to understand
more.
Working as a medical-surgical nurse, I continuously observed magnificent
examples of man’s ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable
obstacles. The scientific principles didn’t always explain
why some people healed and others did not, or why some people
thrived, and yet so many just merely survived. As I obtained licensure
to prescribe psychiatric medications, and treated numerous people
for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and other psychiatric
conditions, it became very clear that our medical interventions
take us just so far along the road to optimal wellness. I studied
the principles of nutrition, exercise, herbal medicine, and yoga.
I explored other principles of energy medicine such as meditation
and the chakra system. I received training in Shamanism, which
resonates beautifully with my love of nature. I sought to find
what truly healed, and as I did so, my spiritual awareness grew.
I am grateful for the arrival of the spiritually-based LaHo-Chi
healing modality in my life. It has allowed everything I have
learned to fall into a beautiful whole that I consider my healing
practice today.
Frequently Asked Questions About
LaHo-Chi
1. What is LaHo-Chi?
The “La” in LaHo-Chi refers to the Light, Love and
Wisdom coming from the Christ frequency, the highest vibrational
energy that we can perceive. The “Ho” means the movement
of this energy and the “Chi” is the life force . LaHo-Chi
is the healing light of the highest frequency, filled with life
force, moving with intention to wherever it needs to go to promote
optimal well-being.
LaHo-Chi is a form of gentle, hands-on, spiritually-based energy
work that is designed to facilitate a deep state of full body
relaxation. The effect on the body, the emotions, and the mind
can be very beneficial. When one is in a deeply relaxed state
we allow the Healer Within to do the work. Natural healing chemicals
are released, promoting a balance of many physiological processes
including the endocrine, neurological, and immune system. Each
cell in the body can benefit, with a resultant sense of well-being
and very possibly, physical and emotional healing. When we shift
from the sympathetic nervous system, the fight or flight response,
to the parasympathetic system, the rest and restore response,
we benefit the body, emotions, and mind. It’s when we’re
completely still in body and mind that we often find our greatest
insights and reach inner peace. It’s in the peaceful state
that creative energies flow best.
2. Who can benefit from LaHo-Chi?
Anyone who wants to feel good can benefit. LHC can assist people
physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Many very healthy, happy
people who feel quite complete in their lives, enjoy LHC as a
time they set aside for themselves. It’s a time to be still
and completely at rest. It is a time to potentially experience
a higher level of consciousness where one might gain some new
insights or come to a knowing about one’s highest spiritual
self. When I receive a LHC session, I typically come with an open
mind and heart, and seek that which is the next step for my highest
good. Something wonderful always comes forth. If there appears
to be a particular physical problem that we would like to heal,
we visualize the individual in his/her spiritually connected,
perfect state, with every cell in the body filled with light energy
of the highest frequency. We intend for all energies in and around
the body to be balanced in a way that promotes perfect health
and well-being. Two quotes from A Course in Miracles state, “Your
worth is beyond perception because it is beyond doubt. Do not
perceive yourself in different lights. Know yourself in the One
Light where the miracle that is you is perfectly clear.”
“There is no order of difficulty in miracles.”
3. What do you mean by energy work?
During LaHo-Chi, we attune to the Life Force Energy that is the
basis of what all living things are made of. I have a quote by
Libby Barnett that I often read to people when describing LH-C
and Life Force Energy. “An invisible but palpable life-force
energy infuses and permeates all life forms. The energy is infinite,
limitless and pure. Intangible, it constantly bathes us. Inaudible
and invisible, it fills us with peace. Odorless and tasteless,
it sustains us. Although we swim in it, ingesting it with our
every breath, we are often unaware of its existence. Every living
thing lives inside of, and is inspirited by, this force field.”
We are all energy vibrating at various frequencies that allow
us to appear to take solid form. Nothing happens in the body unless
energy flows. The heart doesn’t beat, nothing moves across
the cell membrane or within the cells, unless energy flows. To
optimize the flow of energy through the body, is to promote health
and well-being. Our energy field extends far past our bodies,
however. When we’re operating at optimal vibrational frequencies,
those around us also benefit. Our energy fields can influence
and be influenced by others. Shifting to an energy that is Love-
based, versus fear-based, is healing. The model of coherency dynamics
states that a person’s well-being and actual state of health
is enhanced when his or her mind, emotions, and body are in harmonious
relationship with one another, in a coherent energy field. The
research shows that the most coherent field is subjectively called
love and appreciation. In LH-C, this is the energy we immerse
ourselves in.
4. Why do you describe LH-C as spiritually-based?
It is the intention of the LH-C practitioner to attune to the
highest vibrational frequencies, or spiritual energies. This highest
vibration is called the Christ frequency, with its origin being
our Source, which we may call God, or Divine Source Energy. We
are all always connected to Divine Source Energy at all times,
but the awareness may be covered over for various reasons, but
often because our attention is elsewhere. LH-C helps to release
that sense of separation from our Source, and allows a higher
level of consciousness to emerge. We set the intention to radiate
this energy to us, through us, and from us, to the individual
desiring a healing. The intention may be for a specific healing
or perhaps to more generally balance the energies of body and
mind as we connect to our highest spiritual selves. During a LH-C
session we move from a focus on the physical body, to a place
of Mind, the One Mind. The result to the body can be healing,
and the ultimate result to the emotional state is one of joy.
I often state, “Grant that we may be guided to that which
is the next step for our highest good.”
5. Can you describe a typical LH-C session?
Fully and comfortably clothed, the participant reclines on a massage
table. I guide with some relaxation breathing and meditation suggestions.
With gently closed eyes, the participant simply breathes, relaxes,
and stills the mind. I typically suggest the participant visualize
breathing in Love, and breathing out Peace. I play soft music
which also helps promote relaxation. I use 5-7 hand positions
for approximately 10minutes per position. This is not a massage,
as my hands are still. As I consciously raise my vibration, we
feel the energy flow, usually indicated by a warmth, and a gentle
pulsation. I visualize the individual in their perfect, Divinely
connected state. The full session usually takes about an hour,
with additional time set aside for discussion before and after.
Once completed, I gently guide the individual back to full conscious
awareness, making sure he/she is fully grounded before completely
ending the session. Participants usually describe feeling the
flow of the energy, and seeing colors or pleasant images with
their closed-eye vision. Sometimes images produce memories from
the past or they may be quite perplexing. Insights into their
life experience may become clear. The experience is one of feeling
safe, nurtured, and fully relaxed. LaHo-Chi uses the expression,
“With gentleness, ease, and Grace.” The benefits to
body, mind and spirit may be readily apparent, or may be incorporated
over the next days or weeks. It can be difficult to fully describe
or to comprehend the process of LaHo-Chi, but once experienced,
the true beauty of this spiritually-based energy work is clear.
