There are so many ways an energy practitioner can help their clients move stagnant energy and restore their energetics signature. The foundation of a successful energy healing session is to quiet the ego mind from its all knowing place. It is when the mind is still that the love and light can pass through both the practitioner and client. We can do this for ourselves when we meditate or practice yoga and chi gong. Or, an energy practitioner can help with this through Reiki, channeling, or shamanic practices.

When we hear the word medicine, we often think doctoring, prescription, or over-the-counter remedy. The word medicine derives from the Latin word medicina, defined as "the means of healing." The word healing comes from the old English word hale, which means "wholeness, being whole, sound or well."

Medicine means "to make whole"

I am in the second year of a shamanic apprenticeship program. An important part of this training is to sit fasting alone in the forest for four days and nights. The purpose of this vision quest was to sit with the spiritual world and my guides and teachers, commune with Mother Earth, and to gain some clarity about my role as a healer.

I found a lovely place on a knoll overlooking a babbling creek to sit for 96 hours. It was not long after arriving that I noticed the road noise of Route 14 off in the distance. By dusk, the road noise played on my hunger pangs and I became irritated with the distraction interfering with my prayerful intentions. My efforts to ignore the sounds imploded by the next afternoon catapulting me into an emotional meltdown.

What lessons are there in this "Road Medicine?"

Loosing touch with the breeze in the leaves and the burble of the stream when the trucks roared in the distance, I noticed how my thought train could be like this unwelcomed road noise. I strained to listen to the birdsong under the din, receiving their quiet message to hear a different story under my well rehearsed egoic lines. The faint murmur of water cascading over stones reminded me not to get lost in my fears. The rustling of leaves whispering through the truck's jake brakes saying "follow your dream."

Thank you Road Medicine. I am grateful for your message; your Medicina.
