HEALTH & WELLBEING
Healing from the Heart Sophie Cram shares her understanding of how working with a Healer can lead to personal empowerment, understanding and growth if the one seeking healing embraces the experience with an open mind and heart…
IN MY EXPERIENCE OVER THE YEARS WORKING AS A SPIRITUAL HEALER AND PSYCHIC MEDIUM, I HAVE OFTEN BEEN ASKED THIS QUESTION: “WHAT IS IT THAT YOU DO IN A HEALING?” In a healing I have learnt that we need to work with all aspects of our body. Imagine an onion and peeling off all the layers, I have found that healing works on the same principle. We need to break down the layers and allow ourselves to be open and be willing to go within to deal with issues that may be causing ‘Dis-Ease’ in our body, 6 thus creating physical complaints for us later. We are very good at pushing things aside so we don’t have to deal with them. This is why I believe in working on the Mind, Body and Soul, covering all the layers. However this is not always easy from a client’s point of view, it can often cause upset until it has been released. We must also treat the Chakras, the energy centres within our body, making sure they are all balanced, as this plays a huge part in our energy and physical body. If they are not in alignment and balanced, it can make you feel quite ungrounded. It all plays such an integral part in the healing process. I feel that a client should walk away from their healing feeling empowered. A healer’s role is to assist in this process, and it is ultimately up to the individual to be willing to help themselves to maximise their healing treatments. I have learnt that to maximise your experience during a healing, you need to have an open mind, as opposed to having a set expectation in order to achieve the best outcome. In the beginning of my healing journey back in 1994, I was randomly handed a flyer about alternate healing. At the time I tucked it away in my bag and went on with the rest of my day. Days later when going through my bag I came across the flyer, on reading it I saw it was about a healing modality called Reiki. Still unsure of what it was all about I looked into it further and decided to trust as it felt
so right for me. I went on to do my first level, then over the next year completed my second and third levels finally finishing off with my Masters, as well as learning other modalities to further develop my healing abilities. Hence here I am today! It has made me grow as a healer and person, teaching me to be in touch with my own feelings on such a deeper level, which I will always be very grateful for. During the first few years I had to do a lot of my own personal healing to help me to break down a lot of what I was holding on to without even knowing it. I had to break through my fears, I found this to be very confronting at times but it was worth it and is a process that all healers I know go through. My saying I often used at the time to help me if I was having a challenging day was “How do I expect to help others to heal if I am holding on to things myself.” To this day I still remind myself to always let go of things, as holding on does not serve any purpose but just sits in our energies and manifests. I also find that I always receive some form of healing when I am working on others, it is so rewarding on many levels. I have been so very blessed to have worked with some wonderful clients, building many treasured friendships. They continue to let me into their lives on such a personal and emotional level. A lot of tears and laughter have been shared and we have all grown from the experiences. I have also been very fortunate to have had some amazing encounters with Spirit throughout my treatments. Beautiful Angel energy often joins me and helps, I have had the honour of meeting my clients loved ones and Spirit Guides. These are a few reasons why I love and honour what I do, every healing is different and I feel truly blessed that I get to be a part of it.
