How Energy Integration WorksWhen I was asked to write about what happens in an Energy Integration session, I was both excited and skeptical. As someone with health problems, I have done a little Tai Chi, meditation and other things in that genre that involve the energies of the body in hopes of having my health improved. It’s why I gave Energy Integration with Deborah Aaron a try. Her services can be found at http://www.energyintegration.ca/ .Karen, an executive coach who has taken several sessions with Deb, explained that energy work is done by holding someone in your thoughts and sending them healing energy. She describes the experience as, “You both go into a meditative state. Deb always verifies what she is sensing by checking in with you to discuss what you both are sensing, comparing notes in a way.” My experience was similar. It wasn’t very hard. I received a phone call at an appointed time from Deb, whom I think of as the “energy coach”. She asked me to get all relaxed, and I did. I lay on my bed, with all the lights off, with just the sound of her voice coming through the phone. I was more excited than nervous, and I had a good laugh when one of the first things Deb asked me was if I had pain in the high right side of my back. I said it was fine and that I actually had problems with my lower back (which I do due to scoliosis). Deb sensed that my right upper back was very tense, so I reached to check and lo and behold my shoulder was hunched up trying to hold the phone. We had a good laugh about that and it broke the ice. Vicki of New Mexico writes, “I was amazed at the insight that Deb had during our sessions. She revealed information I thought I had kept very well hidden for most of my life. She exposed the darkness and illuminated it with great precision, empathy, and compassion.” One thing Deb was very upfront about was that she doesn’t know exactly how the integration of energy worked, but that she would be exploring parts of myself that I might not want exposed so she said she would always ask before going into a certain part of my mind or body. It’s like asking permission each time before opening a door. I can definitely say she opened doors. I began by breathing slowly, relaxing my body and I let Deb lead me into my own secret world, secret even from me. One of the first things she noticed was that there was a part of me driven by pain that was extremely strong and that it was protecting my most vulnerable sides. Deb asked permission to take that strong aspect and put it aside for the duration of the session so she could find the source of the pain and clear it out of my system. She told me that the source of my pain went way back to when I was very young and I in turn told her the story of how I spent much of my first few months of life in a white tent gasping for air. I had bronchitis and if I had not grown out of it, my family would have had to move to Arizona. I could hear Deb breathing over the phone as she cleared up the energy of the small child I was who felt lonely and abandoned in that tent. Then she moved up to the age of three to a little girl that did not understand all this pain, and what was going on around me, and she held that part of my persona remotely. Amazingly, tears came to my eyes inexplicably and I felt a rush of comfort. Vicki of New Mexico put it best when she wrote, “I have noticed an incredible shift and lifting of the heavy and dense energy that I have been burdened with for most of my life. I feel light and freer as a result of my work with Deb Aaron.” During the entire session, I often felt pain in my heart, abdomen, and in one of my kidneys. Each time Deb would say she was clearing out the pain and anger and then that part of my body would stop hurting. I think the largest effect of the session though was not just seeing my life in new terms and images, I did actually feel a visible difference after the session. Deb pointed out that what drove me was the rage due to all the pain in my life. It is true that physically I have been through a lot, though I have never thought of it in those terms. I have always tried to take what was happening and try to turn it into something good because I think that everyone goes through a lot in their life no matter who they are. I have several disabilities due to chronic illness and my life is sometimes run by the command of those illnesses, but I have always tried to find a way around those demands to live the best life I can. One thing I had never given much thought to just how angry I get sometimes because of those limitations. I have not denied that anger, in fact, when I do feel angry at life in general because I cannot do this or that I will cry a little about it, write about the anger, and move on. I didn’t realize that I wasn’t letting go of the rage I felt at myself, at my life, at my body for not being exactly what I want it to be. Lynn of Winter Haven, Florida writes, “Deb has always come through in a big way with her healing abilities. Through the years she has helped me clear a lot of depression and anger. Now I look back and am amazed at the difference within myself which I can credit to her.” Deb said during the session that she’d clear out as much of the rage as she could to leave me free to pursue my goals without the rage. At the beginning of the session, Deb had warned me that I might hear a sound similar to burp as she let out the negative energy, as she got the rage out of my system and that’s what I heard. As the session ended, Deb told me to rest and fall asleep so as to allow the new flows of energy to establish within my body. I noticed as I fell asleep that I felt lighter and even a week after the session that rage that I normally felt rise at obstacles in my life remains silent. I’ve discovered that passion for life doesn’t have to be fueled by anger.
