When I first stepped onto the path of energy healing, I thought I was learning how to “fix” people—how to remove pain, clear trauma, and restore harmony. But after years of working with clients from all walks of life, I now realize that true healing is not about fixing at all. It’s about remembering, releasing, and reconnecting. It’s about becoming whole again.
From silent tears released in a session to spontaneous breakthroughs, the healing I’ve witnessed goes far beyond what textbooks teach. In this article, I’ll share some of the most profound lessons I’ve learned about true healing—not as a concept, but as a lived experience. And if you’re ready to begin or deepen your own journey, Shams Tabriz is a powerful place to start—where energy meets insight, and healing meets soul.
1. Healing Doesn’t Always Mean Feeling Better—At First
One of the hardest truths for clients (and sometimes healers) to accept is this: healing is not linear. Often, it starts with discomfort.
Why?
- Suppressed emotions rise to the surface
- Long-held beliefs are questioned
- Energetic blocks begin to dissolve
This process can trigger fatigue, tears, anger, or confusion. But these are signs that the energy is moving—a detox of the soul.
Example: A client once felt “worse” after her first session—only to later realize she was finally feeling the grief she had buried for years.
2. The Body Is the Final Messenger
I’ve learned to listen to the body more than the story. Pain, tension, or illness often speaks the truth that the mind has avoided.
Common Emotional Messages from the Body:
|
Body Symptom |
Possible Emotional Root |
| Tight shoulders | Carrying responsibilities |
| Gut issues | Anxiety, lack of safety |
| Throat tightness | Unspoken truth, fear of voice |
| Lower back pain | Financial fear, lack of support |
Insight: True healing starts when we stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and begin asking, “What is my body trying to say?”
3. Emotional Release Is More Powerful Than Logic
While logic tries to “understand,” healing often happens through emotional alchemy—when pain transforms into wisdom.
Client Story Template:
- Presenting Issue: Chronic anxiety
- Energetic Discovery: Blocked heart and root chakras
- Session Work: Gentle Breathwork + Reiki + guided release of childhood fear
- Breakthrough: Client sobbed for the first time in years and later said, “I finally feel seen.”
You don’t need to understand your pain to release it—you need to feel it, fully and safely.
4. Healing Happens in Stillness, Not in Force
In a world addicted to doing, healing requires us to pause and allow. That’s often the hardest part.
Practices That Invite True Healing:
- Grounding meditation in nature
- Slow, conscious breathing
- Journaling from the heart, not the head
- Energy scans and chakra check-ins
- Silence—just being with what is
Expert Tip: Many clients have their biggest breakthroughs when they stop “trying” to heal and simply surrender to the process.
5. Everyone’s Healing Timeline Is Different
There’s no formula, no universal timeline, no guaranteed number of sessions. Healing is deeply personal.
|
Client Type |
Healing Style |
| Quick Releaser | Feels shifts after one session |
| Layered Healer | Needs several sessions for each layer |
| Resistant Starter | Fights the process until trust builds |
| Lifelong Seeker | Sees healing as a lifelong unfolding |
Truth: You can’t rush what your soul is still learning.
6. Healing Isn’t a Destination—It’s a Return
The biggest confession? Healing doesn’t make you someone new—it brings you back to who you’ve always been.
- You return to your voice
- You return to your truth
- You return to your body, your intuition, your light
In every session, whether I’m holding space for someone’s grief or celebrating a spiritual awakening, I witness the same sacred truth: healing is a homecoming.

Reflection Prompt |
Why It Matters |
| What did I feel in my body? | Tracks energetic awareness |
| What emotions came up? | Highlights stuck patterns |
| What surprised me? | Reveals subconscious insight |
| What do I want to let go of now? | Aligns with healing intention |
| What’s one loving thing I can do today? | Grounds healing into action |
Write your answers gently and honestly. There’s no right way to heal—only your way.
Final Thoughts
Being an energy healer has humbled me. It’s not about fixing. It’s about remembering—remembering that we are whole, sacred, and capable of healing ourselves with the right support and space.
True healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about shedding the layers of pain, expectation, and fear so you can finally feel like yourself again.
