Healing Crisis information after a healing session.

What is healing crisis?

Healing crisis happens after a healing session, from energetic blockages or stuck energy that have been moved, broken up and or released. During this time the body will begin purging and releasing toxins that it no longer needs or wants, like old thought patterns and impurities. There can also be a variety of sensations in the body that are felt. This will happen either during or after a hands on, distance healing session, an attunement or through a meditation healing or any other healing practice of your own or someone else's. This is temporary, and can sometimes last up to a couple of weeks. Typically though it will only last for 1- 3 days. Usually this is a good sign that a lot of healing has been done during the session and that the body, is releasing old energetic toxins and old emotions stuck in the body and energetic bodies that no longer serve the person. There are some people who don't feel anything and that is ok too. It is different for everyone. Healing crisis can happen right away or not until the next day.

For me it happens within an hour or two after the session, and lasts for about 2 days.

When suffering from a major illness, you may experience the same type of symptoms of the illness and it could feel more intense during a healing crisis. At this time you may think you are getting worse, which is not the case but, It is pretty common to think that. Within the next few days you will begin to feel much better. Healing crisis is a good sign that profound healing has taken place. Healing happens in layers. Although a part of this condition is healed other parts of it will need to heal and so the more healing will be needed in order for it to completely heal.

What causes the healing crisis?

Healing crisis is your body releasing old thought patterns and toxins that prevent the body from being able to regenerate on its own. Using all elimination orifices, to release them. This is how your body begins to start healing from the inside out, so that more light and love can be held in the body more easily, which strengthens the body over a period of time. This healing will begin to create much needed change, physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. As stated above this will happen gradually.

Symptoms:

Whatever the body can handle at the time is what will come to the surface. Some people remember old injuries or crisis that they forgot all about and they can come up during, right after or days later, once the healing has taken place. Usually there is some type of purging that takes place, but not always.

These are all symptoms that anyone may or may not have. Of course these will not all happen at once. Some may experience some of these or none of these. These are all possible ways a person may experience natural detox symptoms after a session.

Sleep Disruptions:

Sleep patterns may change. Maybe you used to be a night owl and now you are starting to wake up at the crack of dawn or vice-versa. You might wake up at the same time every night, say between 2am and 4am.

Deep breathing can help relax you, so you can go back to sleep.

You may start having extremely vivid dreams. Many times in the dream state, we deal with buried issues that we cannot handle in waking life. Pay attention to your dreams to help you understand what your trying to release, either consciously or unconsciously.

Releasing old stuff in the dream world, is a much nicer way than dealing with it in the waking state.

Having a dream journal next to the area you sleep can be handy to write stuff you dreamt in the middle of the night so you don't forget the next day.

Remember that when or if you have dreams about death, it can signify new beginnings, making their way into your life.

Lessons:

Remember that whenever the same thing keeps showing up in our lives, it's the universe telling you there is something that needs to change. It will keep showing up until you learn the lesson.

Also remember, we are complex beings and we have so many layers. Healing takes time, so be patient with yourself.

Tests and Challenges:

Many challenges, obstacles and tests will show up in life and although it seems annoying at times and scary, let it teach you to persevere. Obstacles help us learn new ways of being, thinking and navigating our way through life. Sometimes the old ways just aren't working anymore and it's time to see things in a different light.

Remember that the only person, place, thing and or situation that stands in your way is you. You have the power to change anything in your life. We are so much more capable than we could ever imagine!

Loss of the Old:

Remember that as you start to heal, your vibration will continue to rise and as that happens, people around you may start to disappear. you may find yourself meeting new people and trying new things. Some things may not end well and friends will grow apart from each other. People, places and old habits, will just start to naturally fall away. It is all part of the cycle of life. Just know that the new will be a great adventure and things will happen that you could never have previously thought.
