I just got the message that I need to strip my one-on-one work with clients down to the studs and rebuild my offers and how I share them from the ground up.
This is scary but exciting.
In this moment, mostly scary. Change often is. That liminal space between what you know, what you thought you were doing, and whatever will be next. It’s untethered, which is freeing but can also feel like free fall.
When you do etheric work that could be labeled something like channeling or psychic or mediumship or energy healing … there isn’t really a prescribed way of going about it. You have to practice, sometimes for years. You have to experiment and discover your unique gifts and flavor and who you can best support and serve. You have to see what people get out of your work, how it feels, how it supports them in their lives.
I learned I was an empath and a channel in 2013, when I was 35. I practiced for years, mostly on lovely blog readers (I’d been blogging since 2006) who were willing to be my guinea pigs. I started with written channeling and then moved into spoken channeling for individuals and later for groups. Then I began doing distance healings on friends - and clients, once I felt confident. I soon moved into recorded group energy healing. All self-taught, all based on experiments.
What I learned:
The way an energy healing works on one person is not the way it works on another person, because you receive the healing you need, not what I want to give you. (I learned that the hard way because the distance healing that put one person straight to sleep will activate a kundalini awakening in another, something she wasn’t expecting at 10 p.m.)
A two-hour group session, especially when it includes 1:1 work with each participant, is way too much for me. I would need to rest the entire next day.
My group healings seem to be as effective as the 1:1 healings. (Yay, channeling!)
If I do an intensive with someone, I definitely need to rest the next day. This is part of what the investment is - because it’s not just one day of my time, it’s two or three.
Twenty minutes of energy healing seems to be the sweet spot, both for results and my energy.
And I’m still learning.
Now that the “start over with the 1:1 healing work” message has come through, I’m entering yet another phase of experimentation.
As often as I’ve experimented in the past, it’s still an uncomfortable place to be. Especially when it means my entire business model might shift … again. (There are only so many website pages a person wants to write in her life, and I may be at my max.)
But I think there’s a lot of beauty in iteration and listening to the nudges that want to send us down new or at least slightly different paths. Let it be hard. Let it be scary. We can handle it. We can do hard things.
Lots of love,
Amber
If you’d like to be part of the experimentation process, I’m going to be taking on new clients at a lower price scale as I feel into this new iteration. If you’re interested, schedule a free call and we’ll talk about what you need and how I might be able to help.
