Unplugging Negative Energy

What is an Energy Healer? Just ask Cindi Richard, who lives and works out of her home in Boxford as a Shaman Energy Healer. Before I went to meet Cindi I wasn't sure what to expect so I decided to check out her website www.joyfulpathways.com. On her website Cindi writes that "Energy healing is an effective way of clearing energy blocks by releasing old beliefs, thoughts, fears and behaviors so your energy can flow more easily and consistently through your body. This process helps you to feel more energized, to attract the people and opportunities you need to achieve your goals and to live a happier and healthier life."
Still feeling a bit confused I decided to go see what this was all about. I met Cindi in her home office in Boxford. She was just as kind as I thought she would be. She invited me to sit down in a big cushy chair and began talking to me about my life. Generally speaking, when I have a conversation with someone it is hardly ever 100% focused on every word that I had to say, However, with Cindi it was. It was like having Oprah there with you in your living room. After listening to me ramble on for a bit she began to piece together my life as someone would a puzzle. She helped me to point out the "why" and matched them together with other areas in my life. She explained that if we "unplug" the negative energy that is draining us we can start to feel whole again and even physically better. Once she knew what negative energy needed to be unplugged she asked me to hop up on the table and lie face up. She then held her hands about 6" above me and through her training as a Shaman Energy Healer "unplugged" the negative energy. I must say that after the session I felt as if a weight had been lifted off of me and that I could breathe again. It was very refreshing to not only learn about myself but to see my puzzle of life more clearly. I have to say I wasn't sure what to expect when I first walked in but I am sure glad I did.
