Alx Utterman and Jonathan Rosen

Decharging for healers and self- healing

De-charging is the much neglected flip side of meditation and an essential part of healing and maintaining balance in life. Using the five elements of nature for decharging is a simple, yet powerful practice, and provides an enormous relief to the human energy system (physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually). These simple techniques are also appropriate for anyone who is consciously or unconsciously a healer. 9 Simply defined, a healing is an energy exchange between two or more people where one person is facilitating a shift or a relief for the others. Anyone involved in the healing professions like massage, reflexology, acupuncture, breathwork, psychotherapy, nursing, medicine, paramedics, etc. should know how to decharge effectivley.
