oselleHas anyone ever had any kind of "healing" or "energy cleansing" work done, either on yourself, your home, a place you were about to move into, or anything like that?
There's a new reality show on HGTV called Selling New York about NY real estate and a co-worker was telling me about this weekend's episode. It focused on this apartment that in spite of all its advantages simply would not sell. No one could figure out why. Finally the realtor brought in someone to "cleanse" its energy -- and apparently they got an offer on the apartment within three weeks. I looked up the guy who did it and found an article in the Daily News from two years ago. The article said this particular...healer (psychic? shaman?) only works directly with realtors. But it also profiled a woman named Sondra Shaye who owns a healing practice in Brooklyn with the promising name of Archangel Healing Light Center. She does both personal healings and property cleansing.

My first reaction to such things is that these people are modern-day snakeoil salesmen, taking advantage of the desperate. After all, they've got the perfect racket -- offer salvation to people at the end of their ropes, for a tidy fee. Then of course if it doesn't work, it's because the client wasn't "open" enough or some shit.
But I'm heading in this direction because let me tell you -- I've been on a downward spiral for years and don't know how to get out of it. My health, my finances, my family, my general emotional state -- all disastrous. I feel like my apartment is absolutely toxic and like I myself am filled up with garbage. My most recent attempt at improvement was a chiropractor...and yesterday I decided to discontinue seeing him, upon his own advice, because none of it was working. All my other attempts to turn myself around -- traditional medicine, yoga, meditation, diet, physical therapy, religion -- have all failed too. I had joked with the chiropractor when I first saw him that he was my last stop before calling in a shaman. Maybe it's time to call in a shaman. I'm at the point where I don't care what it costs. But I'd love some first-hand experiences, if you've got any, and would also love to know how much it cost you, if you're comfortable with sharing that. Thanks.

Date: 2011-02-02 02:03 am (UTC)I've had reiki done for my wrenchingly bad back problems, and it helped when nothing else did. A friend did it, for free, so I don't know how much it would cost (or how much having it done at your home would cost) but if my back problems were to return, I'd be willing to pay for it.
I guess the main thing I'd say is, only do it if you decide you believe in it. Does that make sense? I had to learn a few years ago how to become an optimistic person, and I credit that, more than anything else, for the positive changes in my life. I think making a decision to believe in something (reiki, snake oil, yourself, whatever) that could potentially improve your situation is a pretty empowering thing to do.
I wish you all the best and hope things get better, one way or another.

Date: 2011-02-02 02:35 am (UTC)It's a difficult situation because I'm not that easily swayed. I already halfway don't believe in this stuff, but I'm just desperate enough to try anything. I'll need to feel an actual, definable result to go from halfway believing out of desperation to real believing. And that result would have to last.
