📔 Questions to reflect on

  1. Reflect on a time you intuitively used touch to comfort or soothe someone. How did it feel, and what do you believe was happening energetically?
  2. Consider your own beliefs about healing. Are you more inclined to view it as an external intervention or an internal process? How might exploring energy work shift this perspective?
  3. If you were to dedicate five minutes daily to intentionally focus your energy on a specific area of your body or a loved one, what might be your intention and why?
