Physical and Emotional Healing

Physical and Emotional Healing through Energy Work:

We use a variety of energy healing modalities to address pain, stress, emotional issues, anxiety, fear, etc. so you can bring your best self to your daily interactions.

Self-care is like upkeep for your car. You put gas in the tank when it’s low, keep the windows clean and perform regular maintenance so you get many safe miles from it. Your daily self-love routines are similar to adding gas and washing the windows, but you would benefit greatly from having a professional handle the maintenance!

Holy Fire III Reiki +, cranio-sacral, and Light Connection™ are all a part of our toolbox. We also offer one-on one and small group coaching and that will keep you humming along in top shape!!

Akashic Record Readings

Akashic Record Readings

By delving into your Akashic Records, you have the power to examine your life, broaden your perspective, and make more informed choices.

The Akashic Records contain the energetic history of each individual soul and its journey.  Within the Records, you will see yourself through the lens of unconditional love and acceptance. This offers a fresh perspective to examine your present and former lives, which will equip you to make the best possible choices for right now.

When you seek information from the Akashic Records, the insight provided can support you in being your best and highest self.

Providing truth, information, and guidance is the role of the Lords of the Akashic Records. You will find clarity, broaden your viewpoint, and understand your own motivation. They will not tell you what to do. They leave the responsibility where it belongs–with you.

Kristi Johnston has been gifted with the ability to access the Akashic Records on your behalf. Readings take approximately 45 minutes including time for reflection and clarification should that be needed. Readings are done over the phone and you may take notes and record your session. Here are examples of good questions to ask during your session.

 Fee: $120 full session.

Testimonials for Akashic Records Readings with Kristi

Beth Marshall, Attleboro MA : “I was at an extremely confusing and disorienting time in my life and I was looking for answers to help me move beyond a painful space that felt very rocky and uncertain.

The answers that were provided were very detailed, and in almost every instance the information that the Lords of the Records provided through Kristi resonated with me and sometimes even connected the dots between pieces of information I’d received on my own that hadn’t made sense. Throughout my reading, there were things revealed that Kristi could not have possibly known.  Ever since my reading, I have experienced a sense of increased joy after releasing something that no longer served me.  Energetically, I feel free and that I can step into my future without any baggage of fear holding me back.  I would highly recommend a reading with Kristi as an opportunity to gain access to information that will heighten your sense of well-being and accelerate your results!”

Marcia Madonik Coakley; Medway, MA:

“I spent some very special time with Kristi, choosing to surrender myself to receiving whatever guidance and information might be revealed by the process of opening my Records. Kristi’s calm, confident, grounded approach to her journey as a messenger gave me confidence to engage.  I expected to hear things that would transform my steps into a leap…a leap into my own bigger creator mission.  I did hear such things, and have found these powerful touchstones of encouragement though I could not have imagined how they appeared and sounded.  The messages resonated and evoked my experiences, and revealed great imagery and inspiration. I felt seen and understood, encouraged, and challenged to rise and reveal myself to a larger community, tribe, design and path.”

Navigating Life As An Empath

Last night we had the privilege of holding an Empath Support Group at Uplifting Connections in Bridgewater at the generous invitation of the owners, Kellie and Jon Hailey.  14 empaths gathered to share concerns and questions as well as stories of challenges and triumphs. Questions were sometimes answered from our experiences but often channeled directly from Spirit. We are fully supported in our quest to live comfortable and meaningful lives!! Those in attendance ranged in age from recent graduates to retirees and were all relieved to see recognition and understanding on the other faces in the group as they spoke of experiences many in their lives had deemed somehow wrong or unacceptable.

Each time we hold one of these groups there is a common theme or thread that runs through the evening. Last night’s theme was personal emotional safety and coping with the extra feelings of those around you. Several important tools were shared including staying grounded and practicing good self-care. Among the specific coping mechanisms that were shared, many talked about spending time outside, being in or near water, using deep breathing, prayer and crystals. One of the more unique practices was to write the unwanted emotions down and then to shred the paper while deliberately releasing the emotions as it shredded. I have a feeling there will be some busy shredders in the upcoming weeks!  A full list of all of these tried and true suggestions was created and it may be found here.

One final thought that is important enough to repeat here- we are all connected- how that shows up in our lives differs but we should always try to react to another with compassion and from a place of love. Whether you know who those “extra” emotions belong to or not, sending out love and light is a powerful and empowering tool that will help keep you safe, aid those you are sensing and help you release those emotions that don’t belong to you.

26 Ways to be Safe As An Empath

26 Ways to Keep Your Peace as an Empath

I know the title is “…Ways to Stay Safe…”, but right from the start, we’d like to reframe that and say that you are ALWAYS safe. Being peaceful, comfortable, and content is really what we’re talking about here.

As an empath, the biggest challenge may be staying emotionally peaceful while still being an active participant in the world. Closing yourself off from everyone and everything that might make you feel is just not a very functional or fun option! Instead you need to find ways to comfortably be with your family & friends, go to work and navigate public spaces like grocery stores, restaurants and theaters.

You are only able to do this gracefully on a daily basis when you take time to stay grounded, re-fuel yourself with good self-care, and fully accept yourself (warts and all). Here are 26 tips on how to cope with the sense of “overwhelm” and take care of yourself so that you can be the best empathic you that you can be!

  1. Take a bath or shower. Place clearing or grounding crystals in with you for an extra boost of emotional cleansing.
  2. Take deep breaths. Visualize pulling power up from the earth as a bonus.
  3. Practice Yoga
  4. Carry a grounding crystal on you, it may be especially helpful to touch it or move it in your fingers to help you shift your energy.
  5. Burn sage or other incense.
  6. Acknowledge that the emotion is coming from outside of you.
  7. Pray- to Whomever you choose for support for you as well as for those who are suffering.
  8. Send positive, healing energy to whomever needs it.
  9. Use your sense of humor- laughter can elevate any energy!
  10. Remind yourself that you are not the cause, you cannot control it and you cannot cure it.
  11. Remove yourself from those sending out strong and uncomfortable emotions.
  12. Avoid being in close proximity to those you sense will overwhelm you with their feelings.
  13. Write down the feelings that don’t belong to you and shred them, releasing them from your energy at the same time. You could also tear the paper or burn it.
  14. Using a blow dryer or hand dryer, imagine it blowing the extra emotions away from you.
  15. Get outside. Make contact skin to ground or a tree. Release any emotions that aren’t yours to Mother Earth to be transformed.
  16. Recite or sing a mantra to change your energy and release what’s not yours.
  17.  Exercise. This is very grounding as well as mind-clearing.
  18. Meditate.
  19. Get regular massage, Reiki or other energy work to keep you balanced and clear.
  20. Make sure to include regular time alone and quiet in your schedule.
  21. Make time to be creative.
  22. Feed yourself well.
  23. Get enough sleep.
  24. Go to the water- large bodies of water are very rejuvenating.
  25. Begin your day by placing your feet on the ground very purposefully with the image of sending your roots deep into the ground. This is a very quick and easy way to start off well-grounded.
  26. Reach out for support wherever you can find it.

Spirit retreat 2016 Puerto Vallarta. One side of the resort

Spiritual Retreat 2016

In March we had our first ever  Spiritual Retreat Week. We took our show on the road to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a week filled holistic healing including meditations, spirit reading, Akashic record reading, Rays of Light Connection, Holy fire Reiki, a crystal grid healing session, meditative doodling and lots of relaxing pool-side. We stayed at the marvelous all-inclusive resort Velas Vallarta, where the rooms were spacious and the food was fabulous. One afternoon we went downtown to the boardwalk and old city part of Puerto Vallarta for some shopping,  and another we went to the Dolphin Adventure to swim with dolphins and meet a squirrel monkey and parrots. Mostly we enjoyed all the resort had to offer.

There were at least 5 peacocks, 2 iguanas and 2 cats on the property. The landscaping was lush and reflective of the nearby tropical jungle. A meandering  koi stream circled the entire property.

The gorgeous Bay of Banderas was mere steps away with a private beach at the end of the property. 24 hour room service (including morning capuchino delivery!),3 restaurants, pool-side service and lovely staff made us feel like queens for the week and made doing the work of inner spiritual exploration truly luxurious.

Here are some images from the week:

We had such a wonderful time and the feedback from the group was so positive that you can be sure the Center for Holistic Healing and Art will definitely be planning another Spiritual Retreat Week as well as at least one long weekend. We can’t wait!
