Getting My Energy Back

Over the last few days, I’ve been doing something I don’t always make enough time for … receiving.
Two tapping sessions with a trusted colleague. For myself. No fixing anyone else. No holding space. Just listening inward.

And something has shifted.

When you’ve been living inside prolonged stress … the kind that comes with life-and-death situations, complex emotional strain and the constant pressure of having to find solutions your energy doesn’t just get tired.
It gets … complicated!

Layers of worry.
Layers of responsibility.
Layers of energy that aren’t really yours anymore but that you’ve been carrying anyway.

What these sessions helped me do was gently release some of that accumulated weight. Old emotional charge. Residue from intense moments. Energy that no longer belongs in my system.

Nothing dramatic.

No reliving history. No need actually for sharing ‘the story’.
Just a steady return to myself.

It reminded me of something simple and profound:
When your energy clears your innate power doesn’t need to be forced. It naturally comes back online.

I can feel more space again.
More lightness. More freedom.
More me.

This isn’t about pretending the journey wasn’t or isn’t hard, it was and it is. Extremely.
But it is about honouring the fact that even after long, complex, overwhelming chapters, we can still reclaim our own energy.

Quietly.
Compassionately.
Without explanation or justification.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is tend to our own system with the same care we so freely offer others.

If you’re in a season of reclaiming, even a small part of yourself, trust that each moment spent in this counts.
Energy moves when it’s met with love and loving intentions.

With love,
Sandra

Join The Compassion Experience: Unlock Deep Understanding

I share a discussion and meditation on Divine Compassion and the ideas in it are worth hearing. The video below is cool summary by notebooklm which summarises this session, step 7 on our last 8 week journey into compassion.

But ideas don’t change a life …. experience does.

So this Wednesday, when we begin The Compassion Experience journey again we aren’t just exploring concepts … we’re entering the inner movement of compassion itself.

If you can sense that difference …. then you might want to be with us for the next journey. Reach out if you feel drawn to learn more.

p.s. NotebookLM isnt fully accurate on the paraphrasing of the original content, which is step 7 in the last 8 week course of The Compassion Experience. Enjoy it to provoke thought and if intrigued, to prompt action.

Contact Sandra for availability on the next course.

🌟 How One Moment Changed Everything

One of the most moving parts of teaching is witnessing a student light up and transform before your eyes through the energy work they’re doing in the class.
Last night we were all tingling with excitement at the transformations taking place.

After this particular StarLine Therapy class, I received a beautiful testimonial from Kathy Poodiack that really touched me.

She spoke about how StarLine Therapy took the foundations of Star Matrix and opened something much wider… applying it for real in life… and radically changing the way we perceive ourselves and our lives.

In last night’s class — chapter 8 of 12 on our StarLine Therapy journey — we were discovering star moments within trauma memories…. an intriguing new approach ….

Self Compassion … when there’s no one there to give it

I have been noticing lately …

How many people who are committed to healing are actually exhausted.

Not because they’re doing it wrong.
But because they’ve been trying so hard for so long.

I see it in clients.
In practitioners.
And of course in myself at times.

When we’re stressed, tired, overwhelmed or hurting… something very human happens. Our energy reaches outward. We want expression, understanding, acknowledgement, comfort, support … compassion.

Sometimes it shows up as wanting to be seen or heard. Sometimes as anger, blame or the urge to defend or push back. Not because we’re broken… but because something inside us needs care.

These are normal human needs.

The difficulty is… we don’t always have someone available to meet them. And even when we do it depends on their capacity in that moment. They may be tired too. Dealing with their own struggles. They simply don’t have the resources available.

Then extra suffering gets created.

Because when the need for compassion doesn’t get met outside, the pain inside can intensify. We can feel alone, unseen, or abandoned… and sometimes that frustration turns inward.

So the question becomes…

How do we meet our own needs?
How do we become the presence we’re hoping someone else will be for us?

On The Passing of a Legend Gary Craig

I learned today that Gary Craig the founder of EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques method (energy tapping) has passed away, peacefully.

It’s a profound moment to stop and reflect in gratitude.

For myself and for the millions around the world who have healed and learned how to create emotional freedom for themselves and others, changing their lives after learning this simple energy tapping method, we owe a huge debt of gratitude.

What a legacy to create and leave in the world, human transformation, making the world a better place by teaching how to release stuck emotional energy and restore inner flow, after which the mind body spirit can now function better.

A simple concept and a simple method.

We all stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us. Gary simplified an earlier method TFT Thought Field Therapy from Roger Callahan into EFT which became the ambassador technique for emotional freedom in its simpler user-friendly form.

I myself learned EFT in the year 2000 and feel proud of the years that I spent teaching this technique, practising it and helping many. It has brought me personally such great fulfilment in my work and life for 25 years.

Many have taken EFT applied it, evolved it in new ways, leading to many powerful energy tools that we now have today to help ourselves navigate the emotional waves and events of life and help us get back to our true happy loving free selves.

The Guild of Energists, my own beloved energy community, set up in 1998 by Silvia Hartmann, was inspired by Gary Craig’s EFT, aiming to help propagate this powerful method to help more people.

Meanwhile Gary continued, dedicated, to his own mission of Emotional Freedom.

It is staggering to think of the millions of people’s lives that have been touched as a consequence of Gary Craig’s dedicated work. A Legacy indeed.

Reflection might lead us to ponder on what legacy we ourselves might be creating and leaving to this world as we make our own footprints in this life.

Thank you Gary Craig from our deep hearts and God Bless your Great Soul.

May you rest in heavenly bliss as your legacy of EFT Emotional Freedom Technique, Energy Tapping and Energy Work inspired by EFT continues to create freedom and happiness in the world for many millions more you as you depart.

Our sympathies with your family for their great loss.

With deep thanks and respect.
