During the Christmas in July event, I also had an opportunity to meet with Alona Klinicki and Mari Jo Anfuso. I have to say that I have never been treated by two healers at the same time. It was wonderful to witness the fluidity with which they conducted themselves. They were constantly in sync, and clearly supported each other as they did intensely powerful healing work on me.

They too touched on so many areas of my life that clearly needed attention. Mari Jo and Alona immediately reminded me that I need to be more diligent with making healthy eating choices. I shared my passion for sugar (chocolate, in particular), and they suggested that I supplement my diet with B Complex vitamins. I shared a message that I received from a wise channel so many years ago. I asked why I am so attracted to sugar, and she responded, “Because you don’t believe in your own sweetness.” I was taken aback by the sting of her comment, knowing that it was true. Do you believe in your own sweetness? Do you see the light that you bring into the world?

Very soon into the appointment, as we discussed a traumatic car crash that I went through in 2001 (when I was 3 months pregnant), Mari Jo quickly and intensely tapped into the deep well of emotional pain that I had been holding around the event. The two of us had a good cry, as I shared the guilt I felt around the crash and my concern for how the trauma may have affected my daughter. She channeled spirit and continued to repeat the message to me that “THE ROAD IS THE ROAD, THE ROAD IS THE ROAD”. In other words, I was not to blame myself for the accident. There was black ice on the road, and the road was the road…there was nothing I could have done differently. I noted during this intense exchange that Alona left the room for a short time. It was clear that she needed to step out of the energy to sustain hers, so that she could fully support Mari Jo and me. I was touched by her ability to see that she needed to step away and did so when necessary. You may want to ask yourself: “Is there anything I am currently tolerating in my life that I need to step away from?”

Soon after the extremely powerful cathartic release, Mari Jo and Alona did a healing session on me that was a combination of vibrational sound therapy, healing touch, and aromatherapy. It was exquisite! The combination of modalities and the way with which each of them held and moved the energy was reflective of an orchestra that was performing a spectacular symphony as one united voice. I felt energy moving through me, especially in the heart region. Muscle tensions that I had been experiencing in my hip through to my calf were released. You may want to ask yourself: “Is there anything I am holding in my body that no longer serves me? Is it time to let go and release it?”

Their final sharing evolved around my relationship with my 21-year-old daughter. They encouraged me to stop being her teacher and focus more on the ways in which I can deepen my connection with her. Again, this was timely wisdom that I needed to hear, and I was grateful for their insights and their willingness to go where deep pain rested and move me through it. You may want to ask yourself: “Is there someone in my life with whom I need to give more space? Is it time for me to stop playing the role of teacher in their life?”

I truly feel blessed and had no doubt that I had experienced major physical and emotional shifts through this transformational experience. Interestingly enough, while at the Christmas in July event, both Renee Oswald, and Mari Jo and Alona shared the same quote from Oprah in both of my sessions, so I’ll leave it with you: “What is the next step I need to take?”
