Go ahead and hit that subscribe button and with that, let's dive into today's episode.
Amanda O'Mara:Good morning, what's up world, amanda O coming in hot today with a discussion on all the differences between all of the different healing modalities out there. This is probably a really common question that I get all the time like how is spinal energetics different from network spinal, spinal flow, reiki, yoga, what else do we have? Kundalini activation, inner dance. So what I want to do today is just kind of talk about each modality and how they are different from spinal energetics. As you know, that is the core modality that I facilitate. However, I do intertwine it with Reiki, with light language, with a little bit of breath work as well, and so it's really important to know the differences, because then you'll have a better understanding as to what's actually going on and how the method actually works and what we're really focusing on during each modality, and a lot of these are intertwined during the same session, depending on what the guides are feeling is best for you. Your higher self is feeling best for you. So, yeah, we're going to dive in that today, guys. So put your seatbelt on or get your notepad out, because we're going to be sharing some really juicy stuff today.
Amanda O'Mara:But before I dump into that, I do want to share a quick little announcement with Agape Holistic Healing and what just rolled out. So I have been creating healing and business meditations over the last couple of years. Since getting into this work and when I was just business coaching, these meditations were very, very popular hundreds and hundreds of downloads and the clients found these so helpful for quantum leaping and attracting clients in business and really activating their intuition, but, most importantly, creating the space needed to learn how to heal on your own, like you have the access to your own energy healing abilities, but these meditations and activations that I now have available on my website will really help you step into next levels by releasing low frequencies that are attracting things that you don't want in life and allowing you to attract things that you do want in life, like more money, more clients, maybe a better team or whatever that is that you desire, especially in business, and a lot of these healing meditations are are great for those that aren't in business, too. You can really quantum leap and and get the codes that you need to create success. So definitely check it out. Go to agapeholistichealingcom, then store and, and it's called Healing and Business Meditations. You'll get instant access to nine energy healing activations and business meditations. These are going to be accessed through SoundCloud so you can easily listen whenever you feel called to them. And just to give you an idea of what those nine energy meditations are, we have an intuition activation where I'm going to help you activate your born given intuitive gifts and so that you can help make um business decisions that are aligned with you and really, just speaking to, all the answers that you seek are within you. So when we can heighten that intuition within, then you'll be able to really quantum leap in business, which is the next meditation that you'll have access to to help collapse your timeline to great success, income and growth.
Amanda O'Mara:There's another one on sales and marketing for healing and success encoding. This is specific for sales and marketing for healing and success. Encoding this is specific for sales and marketing, so you'll be encoded with new beliefs and energies that are going to help you become an energetic match to extraordinary growth and success. There is an EFT tapping and energy healing meditation for business fears where you'll be guided through different touch points within the energy hot spots on your body to receive the healing but help you feel more grounded and at ease with your business. There is one to help you manifest more clients. There's an energy healing that will help you use your own free will and command out any discarnate energies, imprints, foreign energy, stagnant energy to leave your field on all levels immediately. There's ego healing. Right, that dang ego can get in the way of what it is that we're trying to create in business and life. There is an inner child healing meditation and a chakra healing. Again, go to agape holistic healingcom store and this is super affordable, so it's only 144 to get access to all nine of these right away.
Amanda O'Mara:All right, guys, let's dive in today's topic on the differences between energy healing modalities. I hear about this a lot, like how is this different than network spinal and spinal flow, which are two of the closest related, I would say, modalities to spinal energetics? When we focus on these unique aspects and the goals of each modality, then it helps give you that thorough understanding as far as which one feels right to you. And, by the way, how do you know which modality to try? I would listen to your instincts on this, listen to that gut feeling, that little nudge, that voice. I would listen to your instincts on this. Listen to that gut feeling, that little nudge, that voice, that inner voice saying okay, let's try this out, but I would be careful not to just try something. You know, any sort of energy healing, in my opinion, is just like trying to lose weight at the gym. We don't just go one time, we don't just try it one time just for curiosity's sake, like I just want to experience it. This is a commitment, this is a journey, this is a lifestyle change, and so making that commitment to trying each of these modalities at least a few times to really get the most out of it, to get that true experience. Because, after all, a lot of this work is about kind of getting into the nitty-gritty, the root of where our stuck energy is coming from, and creating that space. And you can't just lose 10 pounds at the gym after going one time. You have to go quite a few times. You have to be consistent, patient and trusting the process. So let's get into it.
Amanda O'Mara:Spinal flow If you have seen this around the internet a little bit, this was actually created by Dr Carly Axford and she teaches healing through the spine and she teaches healing through the spine similar to spinal energetics, to release blockages and restore the flow of energy. So really, the method behind this work is about utilizing specific points along the spine, known as the access points, to release stress and tension. We do this in spinal energetics too, but spinal energetics doesn't just use the spine as access points. We have other access points that are actually within the energetic field. We have major spines and minor spines. The major spines are like the physical spines that you actually see on the body, whereas the minor are the energetic spines that go outward from the line of the spine. So typically in spinal flow you're just working on that physical spine. So the experience that clients often will experience is that deep relaxation. It's a sense of realignment as the body begins to release physical and emotional blockages.
Amanda O'Mara:Really, I mean, I'm going to be honest with you guys, all the modalities that we're going to discuss here today is about creating space to heal blockages, tension, patterns within the body. But ultimately the goal is to help you remember more of who you are. When we clear out the stuff, then we're able to remember who we are and nobody's broken here. Remember that, nobody is broken. Uh, so we're just simply remembering who you are. We're just peeling back the layers. You're like an onion, right. We're peeling back the layers to get back to the core of who you are, your natural states of being. So so yeah, spinal flow um is about releasing those blockages along the spine through those specific access points along the spine network spinal. This was created by Dr Donald Epstein, I would say.
Amanda O'Mara:Spinal energetics is heavily influenced by this modality. Really, the focus is enhancing the body's natural ability to self-regulate same as spinal energetics and heal through the gentle, precise touches to the spine. It's actually a chiropractic technique. If you watch a video of this, of other doctors performing terrible word facilitating this modality, then you'll notice they are very gentle, very calm. It's these subtle, gentle touches on their body that create the body's natural healing ability to regulate their nervous system. So there's light contacts at specific points on the spine that are going to help stimulate the nervous system to create two healing waves, known as the respiratory wave and the somatopsychic wave. So clients will often report spontaneous movements. You kind of see like that subtle flow on the spine that looks like a wave right the ocean. The waves crashing that's the movement of the spine is what they, you will usually see.
Amanda O'Mara:Um, there's usually some increased energy flow going on here and just that deep sense of connection and awareness is often what's reported from clients who experience network spinal so yeah, so spinal energetics very similar. We are, uh, using light contact to no contact, um, and this is why spinal energetics are able to do this virtually, because there's actually access points in the energetic field that we're able to go into to help that nervous system to create the wave. Ultimately, that is the thing that we're looking for in clients on the table is the wave-like movement that signals to us that the energy is flowing, but sometimes that wave will all of a sudden get stuck and it looks stagnant or stuck, or it pauses or freezes, or there's a shortness in the breath where you can actually literally see it on the table If it getting, if it's getting stuck now, if you know, going a little sidetracked here, but if we don't see the movement in the spine, a lot of people that start out with this type of work, they don't actually move, and that's usually because there's a disconnect between the mind and body. Their mind is trying to process things more logically, but we forget that the body is connected as well. It's one, it's together with the mind, and so we have to create safety first, and so, as practitioners, we have to know our intuition right, and that's how we can really feel energy. It's kind of like how you feel the density of a room and what it feels like in that room. When we're scanning the human body, we can really feel into at least for me personally where it feels more dense and heavy and where it feels more light, expansive and flowy with the energy. But also we can look for subtle clues, like how one is breathing on the spine, to really decide like, okay, where's the energy getting stuck here? Um, for me personally, after practicing for over a year, year and a half now, I can almost feel like this magnetic pull when working on one spine to see where their body is wanting it. And then my body will respond by either quick little blinks within my own eyes or I feel it in my body where it's wanting to go, um, where the uh, the, the fixation, where the tension is within the body, to begin to release that through those access points. So that was a side note. So again, spinal flow. Spinal flow uses specific points along the spine to release, store tension, whereas network spinal uses just the light contacts to stimulate the nervous system, to create two different healing waves that respiratory wave and the somatopsycho wave. Two different healing waves, that respiratory wave and the somatopsycho wave.
Amanda O'Mara:Spinal energetics. We are working with not just the spine but the energetic field of the body. So we have our physical body that you can see, touch right. We have the emotional body, we have the mental body, we have the spiritual body, the energy that connects all of us, and then we also have our personal soul, excuse me, our, our soul layer, which is the Dharma, our purpose, our, our identity, who we are and trauma can get stored at any of those layers. And so with spinal energetics we're really working with the energy field and specific activation points.
Amanda O'Mara:A lot of chiropractic principles are used within spinal energetics to help activate and access the body's healing response. Literally, when we're doing an assessment in person with a client, we are doing an assessment along their body to see which side is holding the tension more and then where along the spine that client is holding tension. Now we have metaphysical symptoms as well to access to assess what process is to do within spinal energetics. So, for example, if a client is coming to us and they're saying something like I have a lot of headaches, or they've been feeling stuck in their head or kind of overthinking a lot of things, then we will know which, where that that process is being stuck, which is usually in the head, right at the top of the spine.
Amanda O'Mara:So a lot of times our clients can experience shifts, like within their nervous system. So a lot of times our clients can experience shifts like within their nervous system. There's a lot of emotional releases, there's changed states of consciousness, right, it's very common after the first or second session of a client to tell me like they feel like they had at this almost they were kind of at this out of body experience. Yet they were not quite out of their body, they were just kind of, uh, changing their state of consciousness, meaning they're changing their, their brain wave. They're going from being so conscious within their mind to entering into more of the healing states of the theta brain waves, where we're able to access the subconscious, um, and so, yeah, a heightened sense of wellbeing and alignment as a whole, really just creating that wholeness within spinal energetics, that remembrance of self, uh is really the biggest difference.
Amanda O'Mara:So, kundalini activation, profit process, the, the cap right, this was, um, founded by Bennett Wong. This is really the awakening and the activation of kundalini energy that's within the body already, it's at the bottom of the spine, it's, it's within um the body for spiritual and and and personal transformation. So, really, the facilitators channeling energy to activate that dormant kundalini energy, which often leads to also spontaneous movements on the table and emotional releases. I have received this modality as well and I have been able to receive it virtually. So, um, you can experience that online If you were wanting to try that out. Uh, there are more risks with the Kundalini activation, but I don't know it well enough, so don't quote me there, but definitely do your due diligence when you're looking into that energy work. But it's such a beautiful modality and very closely related to inner dance, um, but yeah, a lot of clients can experience intense physical sensations, an an, an emotional catharsis or an altered state of consciousness with this modality. As well as that, kundalini energy moves through the body to kind of, like they say, like the serpent flow right or like that wave flow through the body. You kind of see the, the hands and the arms moving kind of like a wave. Uh, that is usually a sign of kundalini moving through the body. But yeah, inner dance is, has, is, has been around um, a little bit longer, a lot longer than cap Um, I can never say his name Pivaleraza created this modality where the focus is about awakening the consciousness.
Amanda O'Mara:It's about facilitating healing through a process that mimics the brain's REM sleep state. You know the rapid eye movement, so kind of similar to EMDR, where the eyes are moving very quickly. This is where you know if you ever seen your dog, if you have a dog, go into that dream state and all of a sudden they start like their eyes are moving really fast and then they're moving and making sounds, they're dreaming, right, they're in that deep sleep state and we have access to that REM sleep state as well. So that's inner dance. We are facilitating the healing through that REM sleep state state and the method is used with sound, with music, to create that deep, deep meditative state to allow the body and the mind to enter a natural healing process. So a lot of clients do experience movements with this modality. They can have visions, emotional releases and, again, a profound sense of connection and insight. Um, quite a beautiful modalities One I actually haven't experienced firsthand, but I hear it's very similar to Kundalini in many ways. But, uh, I will report back as soon as I try that one. Um, but it is also something that I'm considering getting trained in, since it's very complimentary to spinal energetics itself.
Amanda O'Mara:Reiki is probably a bigger one that I get a question on and how it's different, how it's similar. It's actually quite different. If you think of spinal energetics, we're actually working with one's own energy. We're with reiki, we are using life force energy and we're basically channeling life force energy with gentle or no touch. I say we because I am a level two reiki practitioner as well and sometimes intertwine that during the session, depending on what comes through intuitively or what their guides are saying.
Amanda O'Mara:So, mikael Usia Usu, I'm so bad at this. Okay, mikael, I'm working on this. I should reframe my affirmation. There is the one who founded this, or they say, who founded this? Okay, so it's really about promoting deep relaxation, deep healing, well-being by relaxing the mind and the body. So, there, you can do this online. You can use some touch if it's in person.
Amanda O'Mara:Um, but when I experienced this, this was actually the very first human modality that I ever received, and this was years ago when I felt so stuck and I was going through a really difficult time with relationships in my life. And, I kid you not, I was in there for 90 minutes and she didn't even touch me at all. I just remember her like moving around and I just felt like really relaxed, very comfortable. And then I didn't even know this. My eyes were shut, I was kind of basically falling asleep, but she had her hands above my heart, Didn't know if her hands were above my heart, and then, all of a sudden, I felt like I couldn't breathe. I like was like grasping for air and I just felt like this huge lift, like just like going up into the air and disappearing and I cried and I was like what was that? And she's like, are you okay? And I'm like, yeah, I don't know what that was. But after that session I walked out of there and I felt like I just had a massage, like I felt super high and just kind of just exhausted, and I went home and took like a three hour nap. It was awesome. So, yeah, that was my first experience with energy healing and ever since then I knew there was something more to just you know, medicine. Like there's this whole other world that I had never really dabbled into. And, yeah, it was exciting time because I just knew it. I knew it that there was more. So, yeah, that was the beginning of my journey with energy Side story there. Okay.
Amanda O'Mara:So what other modalities? Let me think here Alpha alignment, if you haven't heard of that. It's a technique that works on the belief that seven major parts of our being make up the sum total of our experience the physical, mental, spiritual, family, money, career, social. Belief that seven major parts of our being make up the sum total of our experience the physical, mental, spiritual, family, money, career, social. So it's a process that helps release blockages that can occur in each of these and enables energy to flow freely without the physical, emotional, energetic body. If now, if you haven't received an alpha alignment before, I highly recommend it it's.
Amanda O'Mara:The technique involves a series of poles on each leg, each arm, the neck, um, and basically like once we um. So, for example, if I'm holding onto the arm, I look at the eyes to see if they're they're in a round cycle, they're, they're moving really, really fast. That's how I know I'm connected. And then I do a quick pull on it and basically it sends this shock wave up into the system to reset, to recalibrate everything, and it can be kind of intense sometimes, but it can create a pretty big physical or emotional release. So that's the alpha alignment.
Amanda O'Mara:Um, you have to do that in person, obviously, to receive that shock wave, um, but yeah, so yoga we all know what yoga is. It's, it's uh, it means union, it means use union. It's one of those physical movement modalities that uses breath, work, meditation to create union with it, within the individual consciousness, with the divine, with the universe. Obviously, this is a very common in today's world and a lot of people I mean you, can see a yoga studio in every corner now. But, yeah, this is actually energy healing modality and it's quite beautiful Um, and highly highly recommend it as a great way to between spinal energetic sessions.
Amanda O'Mara:Um, yoga is such a great way to create that mind and body connection again and also create those energy flows through the different postures that they um, that they utilize throughout a whole session. So, yeah, yoga is so, so freaking powerful um, okay, I think I covered everything. But just to kind of summarize all the different modalities again, spinal flow really focuses on the releasing of the blockages in the spine through the specific access points, whereas network spinal it uses gentle spinal touches to create healing waves in the body. And then spinal energetics we use both the spinal contacts and the energetic field with the audible sound to like to connect to the nervous system, which then communicates with the body's innate healing response. Kundalini activation it channels kundalini energy for spiritual and personal transformation. And then inner dance uses the music and the sound to induce that healing state similar to the REM sleep, the rapid eye movement sleep, and Reiki uses life force energy to promote deep relaxation and promote balance. So really, each fidelity offers a unique approach to healing and the choice between them often depends on your preferences, your specific healing goals. I I will forever be doing all of them because I think they all are so beautiful in their own way.
Amanda O'Mara:So, whenever you feel called to definitely lean into that intuitive guidance within and go, go, try them out. You can easily go on Instagram and just go to the search tool for inner dance practitioner, reiki practitioner, or go to the good old Google Um, there's plenty of people. If, if, if, you need a recommendation, reach out to me. I know lots of people in this space but honestly, like you will be, should be able to find people easily through the search box, and a lot of these are accessible online as well. So, yeah, that was a little episode for you all today, just to kind of get some clarity around the different modalities and how they can best support you and what you can get out of them, the experiences and kind of like the focus and the method behind each of them, so you have a better understanding of, maybe, which one you want to try next. So, but I'm biased I think spinal energetics is the best, though. At least it's been my favorite, my absolute favorite so far. And yeah, if you, if you didn't listen to my other episodes on my ayahuasca experience, definitely recommend it. But it feels so similar in anybody that's have ever done ayahuasca before and then does spinal energetics say it feels like spinal energetics. Um, yeah, so. And then, as far as the late language goes, we did just did an episode on that with deb clark.
Amanda O'Mara:Light language is obviously completely different. You're channeling light language frequencies of the universe, your soul's language codes. Basically, you know how, like music, creates a frequency and helps with the healing. That's what light language is. Um, it just comes through, channeled in a human's voice, to help facilitate a healing and create harmony. And it's so beautiful, um, it's a, it's a great remembrance, uh, and it is something that I am activating with another people Now.
Amanda O'Mara:I've probably have activated about a dozen people now during their spinal energetic sessions. It's just something that comes naturally when they're um, when they're ready. You know, all of these modalities are about remembering who you are. Light language is is who you are. It's, um, something you have spoken for billions of years and if you think of English it's, it's actually more weird to speak English than it is to speak light language, because light language is going to feel very familiar once you do open up that channel for yourself.
Amanda O'Mara:Um, and yes, you, anyone listening to this right now, you have, uh, that uh ability to open that channel when you're ready. Now, if you, if it doesn't come through in this lifetime, it's just because you have a contract. But yeah, spinal a light language is. It's such a wild experience. We'll do more episodes on that soon. I definitely want to.
Amanda O'Mara:I'm practicing right now how to channel light language with guides, with angels, with other higher dimensions, and so I've been practicing and I'm hoping someday soon to be able to bring that to an episode, to bring a channel message for you, maybe from the Pleiadians, my family or where I come from, where I resonate with the most, at least. So, all right, y'all. Thank you so much for tuning in and I'll drop some of those links below that we discussed, especially with the meditations that we discussed at the beginning of the episode, and my link to book a spinal energetic session, if you want to experience that, with some Reiki and Kundalini and with light language, reiki and all that juicy stuff, so pretty powerful stuff, breath work, as well as something that I also incorporate incorporate if it's needed. All right, everybody. Thank you so much. We'll see you on the next one.
