Frequently Asked Questions

  • Energy medicine or biofield therapies are consciousness-based techniques that enables someone to work consciously with information and subtle energy (chi, life force, qi, lung, spirit) for the purpose of healing and relaxation.

    It is an ancient medical system that has been found referenced as the “laying on of hands” to relieve pain in one of the oldest known preserved medical documents from 1550 BC in Egypt named the Ebers Papyrus! It has also been referenced in ancient Greece, India, China as well as religious texts.

    Common therapies include Reiki, Therapeutic touch, Bengston Energy Healing, Qigong, Pranic Healing, and many other practices from around the world.

    Because consciousness is fundamental and nonlocal, these therapies can be delivered remotely to anyone, anywhere in the world

    Energy medicine has a scientific evidence base, with research supporting its use for improving stress, anxiety, pain, fatigue, depressive symptoms, sleep quality, and improving overall wellbeing and quality of life.

  • We start with a 10-minute Tree of Light meditation to settle into a relaxed, grounded, open state. The meditation is followed by 30 minutes of energy healing. During this time, practitioners might feel drawn to focus on one or more attendees, but they will also send to the entire group. The healing is followed by 20 minutes of grounding and debriefing with an opportunity to share what you experienced.

  • Our Tree of Life sessions are donations based! It is important to us that every person can easily access transformative energy healing.

    This session is offered in the spirit of accessibility and community. If you cannot pay at this time, you are welcome exactly as you are — no explanation needed!

    For those who can contribute, the sliding scale is $25–$125, offered with gratitude. Payment is made upon registering for a group healing.

  • To get the most out of the session, come with an open mind and heart. The group healing will occur over Zoom for one hour. Please ensure your video and audio will be ready for the call. You do not need to speak during the session, but we do ask that you be on camera, so we can connect visually with everyone in the group and so that we all feel comfortable sharing.

    Make sure you prepare your space to be distraction-free and quiet. Please arrive on time as we will start on the hour.

    For the healing portion of the hour, it is encouraged to lie down somewhere comfortable. Please leave your camera on during the session but you are welcome to lie down off screen. You may wish to use an eye pillow, blanket, or soft music if it helps you relax. Once you are settled, simply close your eyes, breathe deeply, and remain open to the healing energy being sent to you.

  • By consciously setting an intention before our healing session, you're planting a seed in the fertile ground of your subconscious mind. This seed, nurtured by the healing energy in the space has the potential to blossom into profound insights, emotional releases, and transformative shifts in perspective as well as direct the energy into where you may need it most.

    When setting an intention, it is helpful to ask questions like:

    “What would I like to direct energy into…What would I like to invite into my life…What do I want to let go of…What feels alive in me right now…Is there something that wants to move?”

    Although an intention can be helpful, it is not a requirement.

    Ultimately this session is for you and however you feel it is best to show up is perfect!

  • After the healing, take some time to reflect, perhaps journaling or sharing your experience with a friend of family member. Be sure to drink extra water and be gentle with yourself. Some attendees will be emailed written notes from the session.

  • A session feels different for everyone; however, there are many common sensations. Many individuals experience warmth, tingling, visualizations, and feelings of well-being, love, and peace. It is common to go to sleep during a session, due to deep relaxation.

  • You may connect with the Tree of Light through email at info@treeoflighthealing.org. One of us will respond as soon as we can.

    During a session, you may connect with the Tree of Light healers by using the chat function in the zoom toolbar. We ask that you send your message directly to the Tree of Light healer you are wishing to connect with rather than to everyone. As this is a sacred healing space, all participants must respect the energy of the circle.

    Each Tree of Light practitioner has a personal website where additional information is available about the healer, their work and contact formation.

  • We will be accepting applications for new energy healing practitioners in the future. For more information please contact: info@treeoflighthealing.org
