Managing Uninvited Psychic Awareness
Reading energy in a social setting is an inappropriate use of a healer’s psychic awareness. A call for discernment, boundaries and comprehensive training.
For Practitioners
Healer Hubris
It’s been a rough couple of weeks professionally. Here’s what I’ve witnessed: Situation 1 – a friend of a friend described her energy healing training to me. Here’s one major teaching she’s learned and practices: When walking down the street, shopping, hanging out in a park or bowling alley – scan and fix other people’s energy. … Read more
When Meditation Meets Mental Illness
Young, spiritual and lacking containment, anchoring I have often had the privilege of working with young spiritually inclined individuals – many high school and college aged. These amazing people are students of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, Shamanism, Spiritualism and some include hallucinogenic plant medicines as part of their spiritual practice. Through meditation, ceremony, ritual these people … Read more

The Practitioner’s Dilemma, Part 2
Last week I wrote about practitioners who derail in their practices by having their personal energy set in such a way that they’re in their patient & client’s soup. Not only is it depleting and exhausting to live that way, but energetically, it’s like wearing someone else’s workout clothes. Ewwwww….. This week CK is going … Read more
The Practitioner’s Dilemma
Do you have any idea what it’s like to sit across from a patient (or client) in a therapeutic/healing session and discover that what the patient is describing to you is what’s happening in your own life experience? It happens all the time! And it can be pretty challenging to say the least. The reason … Read more
The Grace of Space
I’ve been taking a little space lately. In lots of ways. Space from my school and my practice. Space from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Space from idle chitchat and meaningless conversation. Space from socializing. Space. I took some more substantial space this past weekend, choosing to go on a retreat for rest, … Read more
Energetic Promiscuity
You’re salivating aren’t you? Promiscuity? This is going to be one juicy post! What in the world could CK be alluding to with such a provocative title? Well, you’re definitely right, the title is titillating, and if it evokes the concept of doing you know what with lots of you know who’s, you’re on the … Read more
Keeping it Clean in your practice with Energy Hygiene
Energy hygiene is an essential practice for healers and practitioners to manage energetic countertransference and to avoid burnout. Beyond ‘highest possible good’, which is a concept, not a measurable frequency, energy hygiene keeps the practitioner’s neutrality in place, and minimizes enmeshment.
The Case for Consciousness Study as an Adjunct for Energy Healing, Energy & Vibrational Medicine Practitioners
In 1991, I embarked on the study of consciousness, psychic development and shamanism at the same time. I was quickly immersed in the work of Seth & Jane Roberts. I was learning skills and practices to develop my apparent but untrained psychic ability, studying with John Friedlander in Ann Arbor, Michigan. And I was participating … Read more
Chakra Khan (aka Jill Leigh)
It’s a big name to live up to, I have to tell you! It’s my favorite nickname of all time, and I’ve had a few. Most of them made me squirrely under my skin. Like – ‘this is how you think of me?’ I guess I had higher expectations of myself than most of my … Read more
