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 We Do

We hold space for and witness who you truly are to 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 golden rule we hold is honoring your answer to this question: "If I was to be totally loving to myself in this moment I would..."

Our methods of supporting you are quite intuitive and include toning, crystal energy, healing touch and verbal suggestion and/or discussion. Francine Broadnax is a child-care specialist who creates safety for the tender parts within each of us to show up and be accepted with love. She was born with healing hands that sooth pain gently with still touch and support stuck energy in moving. Dane is a gifted intuitive who uses tones, words and crystals to create an energy vortice in which change can occur at deep levels. Together they bring masculine and feminine energy in a refreshing blend of soothing and stirring that can gently allow you to enter a state of blissful transformation.

Session Format

Time is needed to relax into the depths of the healing process. For your first session we give you a gift of the first half hour to explain what we do in more depth and answer your questions. While the minimum time for your first session is 1.5 hours, we 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 ourselves, we have observed that 2-3 hours is an optimal time for this kind of session. We usually schedule 2.5 hour sessions for ourselves because it is more efficient. In our experience receiving work the first 20 minutes are often spent getting settled and focused on the area to work. It is also common to unconsciously protect an area from deep change, so we find that it may be 45 minutes before we are into the area and up to speed. Once there, 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 with you laying fully clothed on a very comfortable massage table. The table is in the crystal temple 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 9PM-12am or Sat/Sun afternoons and evenings at the Crystal Temple which is located near down-town San Rafael. The cost is $95.00/hr for Dane and Francine working together or $55/hr for Dane or Francine alone. There are 12 stairs involved in accessing  the temple, which we are happy to help you navigate. 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."
