If you have chosen to follow an alternative energy treatment for your own psychological and physical reasons and while you felt great during it, the following days you feel worse than before, there is an explanation, starting with dispelling the myth that there is a linear, magical, instant energy or other healing for any kind of problem.
It is one thing to expect miraculous results from your energy healing over time, and another to expect miracles the first time.
Symptoms
The therapeutic crisis, which usually lasts from 2-3 days, but in some cases longer, such as weeks or months, may include any of the following symptoms:
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Bowel problems
- Frequent urination
- Motion sickness
- Chills
- Hot flashes
- Pain in different places
- Discomfort / Anxiety
If you feel any of the above, don’t be in a hurry to stop your energy healing, because these negative symptoms, oddly enough, alert you that the energy work you asked for has begun.
We should find a new word instead of the word “crisis”, which indicates some danger. The healing crisis is not dangerous, in any sense. It is the shift you take within yourself from darkness to light.
Like nature, learn to take your time. This is the only way you will have the desired energy and balance you want, at the time that is right for you.
Immediate tips for dealing with a healing crisis
If you feel negative symptoms that you did not expect, after an energy treatment, give yourself time to understand what is happening to you and why it is happening to you. As “first aid”, we advise you to follow the following basic tips:
- Talk to your energy healer about what you’re feeling. He will guide you on how to best deal with the symptoms, to proceed with your next treatment.
- Stay hydrated.
- Pay attention to your diet.
- Make sure you rest as much as you need.
- Think of the crisis you are going through as a stage, not an obstacle, to your energy healing.
- Trust the process and yourself. You know the way.
Difference between Therapeutic Crisis and Jarisch – Herxheimer reaction
The Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction (named after the dermatologists who described it in the early 1900s, Adolf Jarisch and Karl Herxheimer) is the body’s first reaction, which produces negative symptoms, a few hours after taking an antibiotic to destroy endotoxins.
The difference is that in the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction the parasites disappear, while in the therapeutic crisis the negative symptoms that appear go through the treatment phase, a necessary stage for the essential, holistic healing.
The deepest darkness is before the dawn
It is important to understand that in some cases you may feel worse before you feel better.
To make the decision to pursue an energy healing, it means that you have been feeling blocked in your energy for a long time. This feeling usually translates into a cloudy, restless mind, a tired body, and a rather disturbed sense of your relationships, both personal and professional.
When you begin your energy healing to unblock your chakras and balance your energy to flow harmoniously through your body, an intense inner realignment takes place, which takes its time.
Already with the first energy treatment, you change your vibration. In this new, higher vibration, the phobias, negative thoughts and feelings that you have been carrying inside all the time do not fit.
Imagine that it is as if there is a battle between what has been settled in your energy body for a long time and the new sensations and spiritual visions that are coming to flood you through cleansing and positive reinforcement.
These phobias and negative feelings don’t go away overnight. The ego always has a way of reacting to the new.
Think about how long you’ve been freezing your feelings because you couldn’t bear to deal with your reality any other way.
Think about how many pains you ignored, because you had to go quickly to your work, take care of your people immediately, deal with the emergencies and emergencies of everyday life.
Waking up, everything comes to the surface
And suddenly, you made the big decision to wake up. to open your eyes and finally see reality.
Now you see all the wrongs of your life.
This process could not be easy or pleasant.
The sadness, the pain, the emptiness you have avoided feeling for so long appear.
Trust the process, however painful it may be.
It is necessary to bring all the imbalances to the surface, to heal and bring health, harmony, new balance.
To jump forward, first go back a bit
As you heal your physical and energy body, you may feel the traumas and pains of the past come flooding back. Maybe because you never really solved them, you just swept them under a rug.
If you had collected various dirts under a carpet in your house, shouldn’t you pick up the dirts and clean your carpet so that your place is really clean?
The same is true with your energy and physical body.
You need to face your traumas, take the lessons they taught you, thank them for them.
You need to give your body time to heal. You need to give your soul time to be enlightened.
Examine your habits and relationships
For the real positive changes you want in your life to happen, it takes action. But before doing them, you should look with a magnifying glass at both your daily habits and your relationships.
In this process, it is important to be honest with yourself.
Examine your daily habits, even the simplest ones. Because what you do every day becomes your life in the end.
- Do you eat right?
- Do you exercise your body in any way?
- Do you have a hobby that relaxes you?
- How much time you spend in front of a screen (TV, computer, mobile)
- How do you feel during the day? Do you enjoy your moments or do you stress about everything?
- Are you taking even small steps to improve yourself every day? Are you learning something new, trying something new?
Examine your relationships carefully, both personal and professional.
- Do you feel love in your personal relationships?
- Are you getting the respect and support you deserve?
- Do others respect your boundaries?
- Do you feel that you are developing positively through your relationships?
- Do you feel creativity and satisfaction in your work?
- Are you being given the opportunities and rewards you deserve?
- Do others respect your boundaries?
- Do you feel that you are developing positively through your work?
What do you need to change in your personal and professional relationships to feel happy? What actions and changes should you make?
Tell yourself the truth and don’t be afraid to have difficult conversations if they are needed. This process will not be simple either, because most likely others will not be as ready as you feel, to change the balance with you.
Humans initially strongly resist change, even if it is to our advantage. However, if we overcome the first resistances, feel secure in the new data and that everything is being done for our good, then there is hope.
Your own change directly affects your environment, and in all this turmoil, you will definitely need to say goodbye to something or someone, in order to experience the new that is coming. The old leaves must fall in order for the new ones to grow. Like nature, you too must let the old die so that the new can be born.
Overcome the crisis, speed up your healing
Energy healing brings miraculous results, not in a magical way, but in a way that respects the natural cycle of the process that occurs within you.
Your energy healer will offer the help and guidance you need, but you will have to do your own personal work as well.
- Make meditation a daily part of your life, even if it’s just five minutes at first. So, even if you lose touch with yourself for a while due to pressures, you will eventually come back to your center, to your own home, where everything is calm and clear. Learn about the healing powers of crystals and combine them with meditation (crystal healing). Each energy crystal has unique properties to offer you. Find the one that’s right for you, depending on whether you need more focus or protection or joy or whatever else you feel you need at that point in your life. While meditating, hold the chosen crystal in your hand or place different crystals on the parts of your body you feel most in need of , to strengthen your respective chakras: e.g. place the Rose Quartz crystal in your heart chakra that sweetens your heart and “opens” it to receive beautiful feelings, such as love and joy.
- Choose positive statements that empower you and say them out loud:
- -I take care of myself, in the best possible way.
- -I trust myself, I trust the process.
- -I give myself time to feel really strong.
or use the phrase suggested by Dr. Emile Couillet (in 1895!) to all his patients:
Every day, in every way, I get better and better.
- Combine, if you consider it necessary, your energy healing with psychotherapy that will help you recognize your traumas and find a way to overcome them.
