Returning to the Well of Your Own Medicine
Many people are told that healing belongs only to those with certificates, attunements, or special titles.
In my world, in our shared mythos, healing has always lived closer than that.
It lives in your breath.
In the way your body responds to truth.
In your relationship with the unseen and with those who walked this earth before you.
The capacity to tend your own energy, to soften ancestral tension in your body, to reshape the old stories running through your life, is not something you earn. It is something you remember.
Everything moves as energy. The emotions that live in your chest, the beliefs that live in your bones, the family patterns you feel repeating through your relationships, all carry a particular charge.
Some of these patterns began long before you.
Some arose as brilliant responses to what you lived through.
And just as energy can be carried, it can be composted, re-woven, invited into a new form.
At its heart, energy healing is the art of restoring relationship.
Relationship with your own body.
With your lineage.
With the larger field that holds you.
When the body feels safe enough to soften, your nervous system moves toward rest, integration, and repair. From there, breathwork, visualization, Reiki, sound, and somatic release all become ways of working with what is ready to shift.
Below are practices you can work with as ongoing rituals of self tending and ancestral care.
Breath As Bridge: Tending What Lives In The Body
Breath is a bridge between worlds.
It touches the physical and the subtle at the same time.
When you breathe with intention, you let your body know that it is safe to feel what it feels. Safe to move energy that has paused in your chest, your belly, your throat.
You might begin simply:
Place one hand on your belly and one on your heart.
Inhale slowly through your nose and let your belly rise.
Exhale longer than you inhale and sense your body softening as you breathe out.
With every exhale, you can imagine tension loosening, old stories losing their grip, ancestral effort sliding off your shoulders and into the earth.
Breath can bring forward memories, images, or emotions that have been waiting beneath the surface. When they arrive, you are invited to stay present with them, to let them move through instead of holding them alone.
Heart Tending: Sitting With Your Ancestors
The heart is a gathering place.
Grief, devotion, love, and ancestral memory all meet there.
To work with the heart, you might:
Sit or lie down comfortably.
Place both hands over your chest.
Breathe into that space until you feel even a small warmth or sense of presence.
From there, you can imagine your ancestors behind you. Not as weight, but as witnesses. Some may be well and steady, others may feel tired or unfinished. You do not have to sort them. You simply let yourself be aware of the long line of lives that led to yours.
You might quietly say:
“I receive the wisdom that supports my life now.
I honor what you carried.
I choose to live this chapter with more gentleness in my body.”
Heart work can feel like softening, tears, a quiet sense of being accompanied. It is one way of turning inherited struggle into a source of strength, clarity, and compassion.
Visualization: Re-Weaving The Story
The subconscious speaks in images, sensations, and symbols.
When you visualize with intention, you are offering your inner world a new map.
Try this:
Close your eyes and imagine a warm, golden light above you.
See this light slowly pouring over your head, your shoulders, your heart, your spine, your legs, your feet.
As it moves, picture it loosening any heaviness that does not feel like yours to carry, and any beliefs that do not fit the person you are becoming.
You might see old scenes, ancestral images, or colors and shapes. You do not have to force anything. The simple act of inviting light, clarity, and warmth into your field begins to reshape the way your nervous system and subconscious hold your story.
The body responds to these inner experiences.
The more often you offer yourself images of support, wholeness, and possibility, the more familiar those states become.
Grounding & Composting: Returning Energy To The Earth
Not every feeling, thought, or tension in your body belongs to your present moment.
We pick up emotions from the people we love, from the spaces we inhabit, from the lineages we come from. Grounding is one way of letting the earth help you sort and transform what you have been holding.
You might:
Stand barefoot on the ground and imagine roots extending from your feet into the soil.
With each exhale, let any heaviness, overstimulation, or inherited pressure travel down those roots into the earth.
Trust the land to compost what is ready to change form.
Water can be another ally. In the shower, you can imagine the water rinsing your field, carrying away what feels stale or dense. At a river or ocean, you might place your hands in the water and quietly ask it to help you release what your system is ready to release.
Grounding is not about emptying yourself out.
It is about letting what is excess, tangled, or outdated move somewhere that can hold it, so you have more room for your own life, your own clarity, your own rhythm.
How Energy Healing Can Feel
Every woman and femme experiences this work differently. Your system has its own language.
You might notice:
A sense of deep rest or spaciousness
Warmth, gentle tingling, or waves of sensation in different parts of the body
Emotions surfacing and moving through, sometimes with tears or laughter
Images, memories, or colors that arrive and then soften
There is no one correct way.
What matters is your relationship with what arises. As you meet your inner world with curiosity and tenderness, your body and spirit naturally move toward balance.
Walking Together
If you feel a pull to deepen this work, to tend your lineage through your own body, to live with more softness and sovereignty in your field, I would be honored to walk with you.
I work with women and femmes through:
Timeline work to release inherited tension and limiting stories
Hypnotherapy and parts integration to support subconscious repatterning
Reiki and energy healing to bring coherence to the energetic body
Breathwork and somatic practices to help your nervous system anchor in safety and presence

You were never meant to hold everything alone.
Healing is not a destination outside of you, it is a relationship with the life moving through you.
May you remember the healer you already are.
May your breath, your body, and your lineage feel a little more held each day.
With love,
Emily Rose
