Announcing EHI’s New Website!

We’re celebrating our brand new website! We are proud to deliver an advanced education to those of you out there ready to learn energy healing.

People often ask what books I’m reading. Right now, I keep my nightstand covered with books old and new. I only retain books I want to read again. All others land in a neighborhood book kiosk, or at the famous Powell’s Bookstore here in Portland, Oregon.

Seven Practices for Conscious Activism

by Jill Leigh

These are our Now Times. We’re here now, stepping through the rubble of false paradigms of safety, acceptance, freedom, sovereignty, equality, stewardship, collaboration and connection. Trampled, scattered, desecrated relics of the bubble dream of the Then Times.

Before You Make Resolutions…

by Jill Leigh

Here’s the thing: Now is a great time to reflect on your life and on what you want to create and on who you want to be. And it is a great time to use that knowledge to fuel changes in behavior. New Year’s Eve reminds us to do this work.

Resolutions don’t work. Rather than Re-Solve, In-tend. In-tending is an active discipline that yields results through focus, clarity and alignment.

Triggered? Let’s Clear That

by Jill Leigh

If you know what patterns, behaviors and triggers you’ve got, but don’t know what to do to effect a change, you’re at their mercy until you figure out how to release them. So, would you rather live with them or release them?

Using Your Energy for Conscious Activism

by Jill Leigh

Which Chakra Fuels Your Activism?

Feeling Outraged? Scared? Disenfranchised? With the change in politics, are you called to act? Check yourself so that your activism is conscious, clear and coherent.

I hold myself and my practitioners accountable for being the change. Collapse is not an option. Yet, lashing out is not an option, either. Meeting hatred-laced vitriol with hatred-laced opposition is not an option.

Make no mistake. We’ve passed the time for ranting. So, while you have your rage, despair, grief and terror, stay conscious of how you use that fuel. Your feelings matter, deeply and fully. They are your catalyzing fuel.

A Word on Worldviews

by Jill Leigh

The recent Presidential election has upended values, assumptions and beliefs that many hold dear. It’s hard to avoid the firestorm of reaction, despair, anger and fear resulting from the election.

My work does not include the role of political analyst or pundit. Praise be! My work is to teach coherence. To help people understand how to notice and observe the ways in which their thoughts and beliefs, their inner landscape, actualizes in their life experience, in their worldview.

The Hard Work is Upon Us

by Jill Leigh

If you are an energy healing practitioner, bodyworker, therapist or any kind of healing practitioner, I know your clients are leaning heavily on you these days. I heard that leading up to the election, people who typically see their therapist once a month have gone once a week, and clients who typically schedule once a week are going every day. So, … Read more

Managing Uninvited Psychic Awareness

by Jill Leigh

Reading energy in a social setting is an inappropriate use of a healer’s psychic awareness. A call for discernment, boundaries and comprehensive training.

Got Persistent Bad Habits? What To Do…

by Jill Leigh

What does choosing chocolate ice cream when you’d rather have vanilla have to do with spiritual bypass? Well, nothing unless you look behind the scenes at the behaviors that are driving the choice you didn’t want to make! When life is all about spirituality, but self-reflection and conscious awareness are absent, spiritual bypass is a given.

Perspectives on Illness & Life

by Jill Leigh

Penny has a serious diagnosis Penny is my English bulldog. She’s got digestive issues that causes her to regurgitate her food frequently. On a good day, once or twice. On a bad day? Ten times or more. The problem emerged last fall, shortly before I traveled overseas on vacation. While away, I had several … Read more

How About a Drama-Fast Instead of a Drama-Fest?

by Jill Leigh

Do Holidays Amp You Up? Do you deal through drama this time of the year? Do you find yourself rolling your eyes, clasping your hands to your head as you settle in to a salacious gab with friends and colleagues about all of the stresses and strains during the holidays? The family drama, the shopping … Read more

Hitting the Energetic Mother Lode

by Jill Leigh

From Story to Selfhood What a gift to move beyond story to the ‘bearable lightness of being’ (co-opting and modifying a movie title). This lightness of being occurs when we turn inward to the heart, opening to the temple of our spirit. For some, a sudden and profound spiritual awakening occurs as this inward journey … Read more
