I never gave energy healing any serious consideration until after my first visit to Kanha Shanti Vanam Ashram in 2020. The idea of sitting in a room and being able to heal another person in another town or on another continent seemed interesting but fantastical to me.
A few years before that, I'd had a health breakdown following a long difficult situation at work. I was housebound for 3 months, and one of the things I'd been doing was receiving online energy healing with a practitioner. I didn't really know what it was or how it worked, but I figured it was worth a try.
It was during one session after that visit to Kanha that I heard a voice in my own head saying, "You should do this!" I almost dismissed it because energy healing was so far from anything I ever thought I'd do, or would be able to do.
The Emotion Code
But having heard the voice, I couldn't ignore it. So I halfheartedly looked up the method I'd been receiving, The Emotion Code. It is based on the idea of releasing "trapped emotions" that come up at various points in our lives but are not fully processed. Perhaps it is because we are too overwhelmed or triggered at the time, and instead repress them, so they lodge as excess and disruptive energy in our system, and lead to all sorts of physical and mental issues.
I discovered that it was actually a very simple method, and very easy to do, but required an ability that I didn't think I had - "muscle-testing" to obtain clear yes or no answers from the subconscious mind of the person being treated.
