If you’ve ever felt something strange during an energy healing session — or avoided booking one because you just don’t know what to expect — this episode will show you why energy healing feels spooky.

✨ Why Hematite is the ultimate grounding crystal for energy healing

✨ How to set intentions and create safety during a healing session

✨ What physical and emotional sensations to expect during energy healing

Episode #108 – Why Energy Healing Feels Spooky

Welcome and Podcast Mission

Welcome to the Crystal Self Healer Podcast. I’m Corissa Weaver. On this podcast, we blend the magic of crystals with the science of psychology to help you break free from chaos, ditch the overwhelm, and master your emotions so you can have more energy, get more done and feel better every day. Get ready to unlock your intuition and restore your true power as we cover how you can transform your life using crystals and self-awareness.

Are you ready to get started? Alright, let’s go.

What to Expect in Energy Healing

When you’re new to energy healing, one of the biggest questions you probably have is what can you expect?

You have goals or ideas of what you want to address when you start, but when it really comes to actually doing the healing, you don’t know what it will feel like or whether it’s actually happening.

And honestly, when you don’t understand how you might react or respond to energy healing, it can be off-putting or spooky.

If you’ve ever felt something strange during a session or have avoided booking the healing sessions because you just don’t know if you should start or stop, that feeling makes complete sense, and this episode is going to explain exactly why you feel that way.

We are going to explore how energy healing works and what you can do to relax into the healing and allow for the maximum benefit it will bring to your life.

In a recent crystal and tarot forecast, I mentioned how as the practitioner or guide during healings and rituals, I don’t get to experience the full effect because I need to stay conscious.

This triggered a comment from a member inside the charmed community to comment that they had never thought about the healing experience in that way.

That they had participated in a healing or ritual and gotten spooked because they didn’t know or understand what was happening.

And when you come to think of it, is there a what to expect when your healing book out there for all of us who are on this path?

I don’t think so.

So this is a great time to cover that so you can feel comfortable in engaging in the healing that you’ve been wanting to do, but maybe putting off because an indescribable past experience or the plain unknown.

Why Healing Feels Unpredictable

One of the hurdles to energy healing is that there is no direct route from problem to healing.

Let me explain.

You may be experiencing the heartache of a relationship that has ended, whether by a breakup or a death.

The hurt you are experiencing is triggered by that figure, that person, no longer being in your life, but the healing you need may or may not involve the actual figure at all.

The grief and pain that accompanies the loss of someone important in your life has many different levels.

Think of them as strands of yarn, and include the physical loss, the emotional loss, and the mental loss, just to name a few.

When all these get intertwined and then you add in the societal rules and norms that govern how you perceive you are supposed to react and act, which thread do you work on to create the healing you need in that moment?

It’s overwhelming.

There’s no direct path to mourn loss.

And you don’t know which step along the journey will actually bring the healing and the release of the pain.

So what do humans do here?

We try to control it.

We try to establish a predictable path or expectation around outcome so that we can find comfort.

Now when you apply this same human need for control to the process in any energy healing modality, is it any wonder that if something you experience doesn’t jive with the path you thought you were on, spooks you?

Or because the path is too murky or unclear, you just avoid it altogether?

One of the best things about energy healing is that it can reach the level of healing you need, find just that strand of yarn, without you understanding or knowing what the strand of yarn is.

When you engage in a practice like energy healing that requires you to give over control, naturally if you have fear or unclear expectations, your brain will want to take over and steer the ship.

You just need to allow yourself to let it happen.

And that’s where the trouble begins.

Ego Control and Trusting Process

The human ego is always wanting to control the narrative and experience.

So when you experience a deeply resonant healing and lose your sense of consciousness around what is going on or happening, your ego will snap to attention and try to take control.

This is a safety mechanism meant to keep you alive.

What your ego doesn’t recognize is that you are safe, there’s no immediate threat except for the patterns that hold you back, may get dissolved or resolved.

And when you look at it through that lens, is it a bad thing?

What you’re being asked to do here is trust the process, and we touched on this in episode five.

You can go back and listen, but what I want to offer today is supplemental to that episode in that the way you respond to a healing or ritual will vary depending on you, your physical body, and what you are processing during that moment.

Common Sensations and Safety

In any session, you can experience a range of physical sensations from warmth, tingling, to a sense of relaxation.

You can also experience a range of emotional sensations like clarity, calm, or release.

And while those scratch the surface, they’re the ones most people are somewhat comfortable with because they are similar to reactions experienced during traditional western medicine treatments.

You have a headache, you take the analgesic, your head stops hurting.

When you’re faced with not being conscious of what’s going on, that will be perceived as a real threat, unless you know that you’ve taken the precautions to ensure your physical, emotional, and mental safety.

That’s a mouthful, but isn’t as daunting as it sounds.

Hematite for Grounding

I’m going to offer Hematite as the crystal to work with here for a variety of reasons.

When your healing requires you to relax and release control, the sense of being untethered can shock you out of proceeding.

Hematite is a deeply grounding crystal and will ensure you stay firmly rooted in your physical body while you participate in the energetic or ethereal portion of your healing.

Because of its iron content, hematite has a noticeable heft to it.

This physical weight is a good reminder that it can counteract spaciness and confusion while also grounding you into your body and the physical world.

This pull to grounded-ness doesn’t detract from or take away the ability for you to benefit from the energetic realms for healing.

Hematite assists in drawing down etheric energies into physical form so you can draw it into your body, your reality, and manifest the healing into your physical experience.

Hematite also encompasses polarity, the yin and the yang, the masculine and the feminine of energy.

Through this, you too, get to experience the benefits of your wholeness, that your physical experience is not separate from your energetic experience.

Set Boundaries and Let Go

Place the Hematite between your feet or hold one in each of your hands.

Then couple the metaphysical properties with some intentional setting of boundaries, and you’ll have set the stage to truly trust that when you unravel and dissolve what you’ve been holding onto so tightly, you know that you’ll come back together better.
