What is Healing?

Healing is the process of restoring a link that was broken between some part of ourselves and the whole of who we are. We are in pain when there is an unanswered longing to restore our true relationship with ourselves.

We can no more have a healthy relationship with our dreams when our heart is separated than we can have a healthy relationship with our hand when it is severed from our body. Each part of us is interdependently connected to the whole of who we are.

Even when our outer reality looks rosy by societal standards, pain exists when our outer reality does not reflect our deepest truths and ideals. Our ideals remain long after the necessities that led us to bend them have turned to dust.

At the heart of healing is finding the deepest truth that we are able to hold at this time and restoring our relationship with that truth. Healing is not a destination but an endless process of remembering who we are in our multidimensionality and finding our right relationship with each face of self we are aware of.

There are many levels of healing. When we are in highschool healing might consist of restoring the shattered facade of coolness that we lost when we asked a hot partner on a date. When we are a bit older healing may consist of healing the rift between our deeper values and our obsession with looking good at the expense of depth. When we need to pay the rent, healing can support us in removing the blocks to making money. When we start to sabotage our own obsession with our money-making persona, healing can involve looking at the deeper truths that are asking to be heard through the face of sabotage. The path of healing is a path of deep respect for all the voices within and without in such a way as to both create and surrender to the tapestry of magnificence that lies at the edge of our ability to imagine and shines the way onward to our future.

What Happens in a Session?

I hold space for and witness who you truly are and support you in finding more ways to bring that  into the world. There is an art of gracious balancing that allows us to find balance between the magnificence of potential and the nuts and bolts of daily life. A question I encourage you to reflect on is: "If I was to be totally loving to myself in this moment I would..."

My approach to supporting you is both completely spontaneous and responsive to your stated focus and requests. Terrain we may or may not explore together includes toning, crystal energy, healing touch and verbal suggestion, gestalt imagine and/or discussion.

Session Format

It takes time to relax into the depths of the healing process. For your first session I give you a gift of the first half hour to explain what I do in more depth and answer your questions. While the minimum time for your first session is 1.5 hours, I encourage you to consider going as long as three hours. After your first session you are free to schedule sessions for between 1-3 hours.

Having received hundreds of personal sessions from a wide variety of practitioners I find that I get the most out of two hour sessions, but for you the optimal time may be longer or shorter. What I find is that it is common to need to settle in for twenty minutes and then start working through unconscious protections in deeper areas to protect them from deep change. Around the 45 minute mark things may start to really get moving. Once they do, it makes sense to really go for it. Think of it like driving to work. You may have an hour commute to and from work but it takes just as long to get there whether you work a one or a ten hour day.

While we are both sensitive and responsive, we welcome active coaching on what works best for you. We find that when we jump in as active collaborators that we always get the most out of the healing sessions we receive. If you find yourself needing to talk the whole time or resisting going into a deeper space in any form, this may simply be indicating that the area is more sensitive than you realize, or that you need something more for your safety. We take a gentle approach wherever possible, and let whatever comes forth do so without judgement. We may check in with you to make sure that you are getting what you need, but we trust the unconscious parts of you that speak energetically and in action to do what is right for them. Just being in the crystal temple can have a profound impact on other levels if you do nothing but make small-talk. We encourage you to accept whatever is there.

The work takes place with you laying fully clothed on a very comfortable massage table. The table is in one of the crystal temples and surrounded by a powerful grid of more than one thousand pounds of carefully aligned crystals. People who have had trouble feeling settled around large quantities of crystals speak very positively about the gentle field these crystals create.

Each session has the following format:

• An opening blessing and asking for help from all our unseen friends.
  

• Clearing the air to allow safe work.
  

• Asking you what you wish to focus on.
  

• Responding with the modalities that are most relevant to your focus.
  

• Your feedback and requests are welcome throughout.
  

• A closing thanks and blessing.
  

Feel free to bring a personal crystal to your session to carry more of the energy home with you. If you feel called to guardian a new crystal, we have crystals available for purchase.

Sessions can be booked between 2PM-12am on a case by case basis (my schedule fluctuates based on whether I'm doing a big landscape project at the time) near down-town San Rafael. The cost is $100.00/hr for the first hour or $250.00 for a three hour session. If you have any questions or wish to book a session, please send Dane an e-mail titled "Healing Session" and provide a number and good time to get back to you.

"The first thing one notices when entering Dane's ceremonial ground is the beauty and high vibrational energy of the Crystal Beings present. Dane's presence as guardian and facilitator is welcoming, clear and centered, creating a context in which you can flow naturally and easily toward your intention for the ceremony. Your clarity and intention, magnified by crystal energy and Dane's facility with group synergy, creates a meaningful ceremony and powerful force for manifestation." B. Snow

"I found the crystal ritual to be very inspirational and profound.  Dane's facilitation was sensitive and provided us with several meaningful opportunities to envision goals or intentions that we considered important in our lives.  I enjoyed meeting the other people in the group and supporting their visions.  I was also impressed with Dane's amazing collection of crystals.. It is clear to me that he takes this process very seriously."
