Ancient Wisdom and Energy Healing, Remembered Together

As I continue learning about energy ~ alongside all of you ~ I find myself in constant awe of the ancient wisdom that quietly weaves through so many healing modalities.
Over the past year, my path has unfolded in ways both intentional and unexpected. I completed an energy certification, followed by my Reiki Level 1 training in October. Then, in November, I had the deep honor of participating in an Indigenous ceremony that included sage burning, a new moon feast, and a cedar ceremony. It was profoundly beautiful ~ humbling, grounding, and deeply affirming.
During the new moon ceremony, I was invited to serve as one of the elders and guided to feed the fire with meat. This felt especially serendipitous, as I had been practicing a pescatarian lifestyle for the three months leading up to the ceremony. The moment carried a quiet reminder: healing is not rigid. It is responsive, relational, and rooted in intention.
Receiving a cedar cleanse marked another meaningful step in my healing journey. Every part of the experience felt intentional, but what moved me most was witnessing how the energy points emphasized during the ceremony aligned so seamlessly with systems recognized in other healing traditions ~ chakras, nadis, meridians ~ found in Reiki, acupuncture, and ancient practices across cultures.
Different languages.Different rituals.The same truth.
Again and again, I am reminded that healing wisdom has always existed ~ within the Earth and within us. These traditions are not separate; they are reflections of the same universal energy, remembered and expressed in many forms.
This journey continues to affirm something I hold close: we are deeply connected, and our healing is both personal and collective. As we slow down, listen, and honor these ancient rhythms, we remember who we are ~ and how to heal together.
My purpose here is not to contradict any beliefs or change anyone’s mind. What I feel, deeply, is that all of these beliefs align beautifully. As I continue to develop and share modalities, writings, and ancient wisdom, may you find pieces that resonate with you. As always, take what speaks to your heart and leave what does not.
Each week I am adding items to my website ~ Gemstone wisdom, energy insights, imagery, and writings that I feel bring us closer together. If you feel called, I invite you to explore and connect with me. There are so many of us walking this path of self-healing, coming together as a collective to bring light and love into the world.
Thank you for being here.Namaste.
