Pink Vortex of Light

BOOM Healing Welcomes 2025 with a Vortex of Pink

Magical morning this morning – it felt like the beginning of 2025 is fully here.  The sky was lit up with pink everywhere the eye could see.  I was up early this morning and out walking my dog before day break and witnessed this magic.  Above BOOM Healing was a huge vortex of pink tunneling up into the heavens.  I like to think that this pink was a tunnel taking all the stress and pain away from those who visit this beautiful clinic in the forest for healing and renewal. 

What does BOOM do with Released Pain and Stress

I had a client ask me yesterday, what do you do with all the ‘stuff’ that people release here – do you move it out or does it sit here?  The magic of this morning’s sky had me reflecting on this question.  In the typical counselling world, we do not talk about energy in this way.  In fact, I am sure it is frowned upon by many in my profession.  Yet, many healing practices do in fact intentionally cleanse the heaviness away after each client.  So, what do we do at BOOM Healing?

Cleansing and Cleaning the Heavy Away at BOOM

Before every appointment I light a candle for my client – I do this for both in person and virtual clients.  To me this candle symbolizes the client’s light and healing work.  When they leave, I blow the candle out and send wishes of ease, healing, and security.  With regards to the room, yes, I air it out by opening a window and setting intention for a fresh beginning for the next client.  I also clean the clinic everyday with the intention of the old leaving and a new beginning and healing for each person who visits.  Ishana and I also use smudge – Ishana uses a spray and I burn sage in the quite afterhours.  We are intentional at BOOM Healing to make sure every client receives a fresh experience each time they visit and we take out the ‘dirty laundry’ when they leave.

Personal Cleansing and Cleaning

Personally, I see the importance of cleansing and clearing for all aspects of my world.  I use these practices in my own home.  My son is Japanese and, in his culture, there is a New Years tradition of conducting a detailed clean of the home.  Each year my family puts this into practice (to the best of our ability).  For us this includes going through all our belongings to move on items and clear clutter/blockages from our home (there is never a shortage of these to address, we seem to accumulate each year).  We then take on cleaning and setting the intention of a fresh beginning for the New Year.

I also take these practices into my own body.  I conduct my own healing work to create flow and remove blockages from my own body.  I have also been working on my health and am focused on flow and balance in my own body – as I get older, I notice that I need to be more focused and diligent about this work.

Setting Intention

I have learned over the years that one of the most powerful healing practices is intention.  The best way I can explain intention, is when I am in a place that I will make something happen no matter what.  It is not a wanting, wishing, or goal – it is literally a ‘come hell or high water’ I am going to do XYZ!. When I see a client reach this powerful place of intention, I know that they can, and will, move mountains.  Intention is a force to reckon with and is powerful.

So, I close this Blog with sharing a New Years ritual of mine – each New Year I write two lists.  The first list includes things I am ready to let go of, things that are no longer serving me.  The second list is of things that I am welcoming in to my life.  These lists are maybe not as powerful as the state of intention, but they are certainly along the path.  For me they help me gain clarity and awareness about what I need to move out and what I will bring in to my life.  Over the years I have re-read my lists and I have found that my life very much follows their lead.
