Everything is made of energy.
We are made of energy.
This fact aligns with both scientifically accepted views and spiritual views.
With intention and proper training, we can shift the energies of our bodies. We can positively reprogram the energies around us and within us. The result? Healing and balance. Calmness and peace. These are the basic principles behind the Energy Healing techniques (acupuncture, Reiki, The Wonder Method, and more) that Dr. Vanessa Lee, ND offers at Aster Wellness Centre.
When we come into greater alignment with the universal energies, there is a sensation of openness and harmony. We feel healthier and happier. The stressors in life suddenly don’t seem as imposing any more.
Energy Healing Sessions
Energy healing is offered to patients during their acupuncture sessions to increase the benefits from the acupuncture. However, it is also available to patients who do not wish to do acupuncture.
During a 45-60minute session, patients relax on the treatment table in a comfortable position. Some patients fall asleep. Dr. Lee places her hands gently on the body or above the body, moving positions as energy blockage clear. You may feel her hands become quite warm as the energy flows.
Patients report experiencing calmness, relaxation, and peace. “It was like I fell asleep, but I wasn’t asleep” is a common response. More sensitive individuals report sensations of “waves” through their body, seeing colours, experiencing “opening” or the movement of stagnant energy out of their bodies.
In conjunction with lifestyle changes, patients often move forward more easily in their emotional lives. Then, they have better capabilities to handle stress, and find more joy. Dr. Lee sees this most often over the course of continued treatment sessions (e.g. suggested every 1-2 weeks to start, then every 4-6 weeks for maintenance). As our systems accommodate a new, healthier balance, we often become ready to uncover the next layer of the puzzle.
We are ever changing, and no moment is the same. Each experience is unique – for each patient and for each session. Come with an open mind, and no expectations.
Training
Reiki
Dr. Lee took her first Usui Reiki Level I course in 2001, and became enthralled with the concept of Energy Medicine. After that, she took the Usui Reiki Level II training, Holy Fire Reiki Master & Teacher training. Most recently, she underwent the Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki Master & Teacher training in 2020 with William Lee Rand (founder of the Holy Fire type of Reiki and developer of Karuna Reiki). Note that despite its name, “Holy Fire” Reiki is non-secular, with no religious affiliation.
The Wonder Method
In 2021, Dr. Lee started her training in The Wonder Method (TWM) with the founder, Alain Herriott. Having completed all four levels of training (including the fourth level four times), TWM is a mainstay of her energy healing sessions. It deepens the connection with inner balance, and enhances patient experiences of releasing old emotions & patterns.
Dr. Lee is currently a registered TWM practitioner and looks forward to sharing its positive benefits for unlocking trapped emotions and reestablishing harmony within each individual.
Others
In addition to the formal training, Dr. Lee is constantly learning and reading about consciousness, Presence, other other energy healing modalities. She incorporates Energy healing regularly in her naturopathic practice, and uses it daily in her personal life.
Some other techniques she has studied informally include: Reconnective healing, Quantum Touch, The Emotion Code & The Body Code, Bioenergy healing, Bridge Therapy + NAET, chakra balancing & clearing, and healing through Presence (this one is a mainstay of her everyday life).
Energy healing is Dr. Lee’s passion, and in every moment, she is moving ever more deeply towards surrendering to the slightest nuances of the Present moment. In appeasing the logical mind, we allow ourselves to deepen our comprehension, expand our awareness to new possibilities, and shift our life paradigms.
