How Healing Happens at OHM

How healing happens at ohm

Your Starting Point

Most people who come to OHM are not in an extreme state, though some are. Most are simply overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. Or maybe they understand them, they just don’t know how to get out of the negative cycle.

Sometimes that negativity shows up as anxiety. Sometimes as exhaustion, frustration, irritability, or ennui (boredom), even. They should be feeling satisfied, but somehow they’re not. Most often, they’ve already tried to “figure it out” on their own, with limited success.

"I Need Help Right Away!"

When we are suffering, we want an immediate salve for our inner hurt. If this is you, what you’re experiencing isn’t random, and it’s not a personal failure. Now is finally time to work through something that caused you difficulty or hardship earlier in your life. You CAN transform the suffering that you have gotten used to carrying, or perhaps have developed bad habits around.

When you start to realize that the behaviors that used to suffice getting you through life aren’t working anymore, it’s actually a brilliant space to be in, because transformation is waiting. Instead of judging yourself, or fighting yourself, we start by helping you uncover what’s actually happening underneath…slowly and gently. 

Which Class Should I Take in My Agitated State?

People look at our schedule and feel like they have to pick the right class for their immediate suffering. It looks like we have so many classes, so what to choose?

Chicken, broccoli, and a banana are all food, they just nourish you in different ways. OHM’s classes are the same. They are all designed to nourish and support:

  • regulation of your nervous system
  • emotional processing
  • increased awareness, and
  • reconnection to yourself
 

That said, here is our quick and simple suggestion: 

Stressed or burnt out? → Try Sound Baths

Anxious or overwhelmed? →  Try Yoga Nidra/Guided Relaxation

Need emotional release? →  Try Breathwork

Want spiritual growth? →  Explore Trainings and Spiritual Counseling

Feel exhausted and need support:?→  Try Group Reiki or Book a Healing Treatment

Why Intellectual Understanding Isn't Enough

Talking and thinking can only take you so far, because many of the problems that are bothering you didn’t get started at the level of the intellect…so they can’t be solved at that level.  The majority of what drives our  stress,  emotional patterns, and reactivity overall, typically lives below the surface.  Our reactivity lives within the nervous system of our bodies, and also parts of our mind that we don’t have constant direct access to.

That’s why at OHM, we work with practices like:

  • meditation
  • breathwork
  • mantra
  • sound and vibration, and
  • learning how to be still

 

While these practices seem to becoming trendy, making some of you roll your eyes at their mention, they are actually incredible tools that help you calm down mental activity.  The result being that your whole system is brought to a place where real change can happen.

What Happens in the Quiet Space

When people slow down and give themselves quiet time, and much needed space, things begin to shift:

  • The mind quiets
  • The body releases tension
  • Emotions that were pushed aside can be processed
  • Insight begins to arise, naturally and often without effort
  • You can profoundly relax

 

To be clear, insight and awareness is often not dramatic. Sometimes you will have a vibrant ‘aha’ moment, but often it’s the small ‘oh wow’ moments that come one after another that help you shift. People experience this often in our classes. It’s what makes them come back!

The Environment Matters

When it comes to transformation, it’s not just words and advice that help you heal. Healing also happens when the environment you’re in is the right vibration; when you feel:

  • safe
  • not judged
  • not rushed
  • not expected to want what other people want for themselves or for you
  • and not expected to be anything, or at any stage of life, other than where you are now

 

When your system can relax into that safety, it will start to reorganize on its own.  If you have been trying to transform by WORKING SO HARD…it might be too hard with too little results. That’s why at Ohm we put energy into doing prayers and practices in our main meditation room every day. The benefit to you is that healing starts the moment you walk into our room, before class even begins.

Even visitors who aren’t sensitive to energy can feel the calm in our space, and can feel it allowing their energy to open and healing to get under way. 

From Stuck Patterns to Movement

It’s important to realize that most people aren’t stuck because they’re incapable. They’re stuck because something in them has become rigid:

  • a belief
  • a reaction
  • a coping pattern, or 
  • maybe it’s just been too much stress, for too long!

 

When the rigidity begins to soften, everything naturally start flowing again. This is how healing on all levels happens.

What Healing Actually Looks Like

From our perspective, healing doesn’t mean becoming perfect, or always feeling calm and never getting upset. But it does mean you process through your upset at a faster pace. 

Healing very often looks like:

  • feeling more like yourself again
  • having more space internally
  • reacting less automatically
  • understanding your patterns without being controlled by them
  • moving through life with more clarity and steadiness
