Relational Energy Healing

Excerpts of an article by Dean Ramsden, a British psychotherapist and relational energy expert, that I found fascinating:

'Relational energy healing is a speciality field within energy healing, and invites us to step past the illusions of our isolation with others and to acknowledge the power of our relationships to extend the experience of our individuated mind. 

Many recognize that the human mind (that part of us that is consciously aware of itself and of others) exhibits a field effect (action-at-a-distance) rather than a local effect. In other words, our human consciousness can be experienced as not limited within our physical body but as operating as a structured energetic field, and one which grows and develops over time. The “mind field effect” is something that we come to recognize as fundamental to true change, and when used right enables powerful insights.

The connectivity of our energy field with others is reflected in many of the common expressions in everyday language. We talk about feeling “connected” to the heart of another, we talk about “cutting the cord” when we want to leave a relationship and move forward with our lives, we talk about “hooking” up with someone, as the precursor to an intimate encounter with them. And now, in our modern age of mobile phones and wi-fi internet, we use the invisible world of connectivity daily. It’s not a big leap for many to go from calling your mother’s cell phone to considering the possibility that non-visible chakra cord links you to her.

The communal underpinnings of our connections to others has long been mapped in other fields of study, such as Carl Jung’s concepts of the collective unconsciousness, and Family Systems theory in the psychotherapy world. 

If chakra cords extend our mind field of personal consciousness, then it implies that the communication is a two-way street: that as we make contact with (and influence) another person, they – in turn – influence us, and impact our personal energy system. Relationships viewed in this way suddenly take on a new psycho-emotional importance, as it suggests that the quality and intentions of others can easily overpower our own personal choices. It can do this by simple unconscious influence or by socialization, which is living within a consensual reality not of our making, and can often overwhelm our true perceptions.

Sorting all this out is part of any spiritual or social greater awakening, and has far-reaching implications. It offers the potential for us to speed up the healing or transformation of all our energetic relationships with others, including relating towards ourselves. It helps us end old and restrictive relationships from our past. It helps us refine or grow our healthy relationships right here in the present.

And it may well create the foundation for a new future for us: one not built on the repetitive habits of the past, but one rising from our soul’s desire for a better world, and a superior way to relate to others.
