A few years ago I took a course that taught average individuals to make logical predictions about future world events based on data points, simulations, and trends. For example, at the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many predictions were made about the dramatic expansion and use of video technology for conferencing and surveillance. Predictions about our healthcare system were also made.
Sarah Knight: You haven’t always done this work. Where did you come from and what brought you into doing healing work?
Lisa Sabatini: I originally came from journalism and communications – I was a journalist for many years, I produced television. I like to explain it this way…journalism is about research but communication is about taking the things in journalism that might be really complex and making them relatable and clear. I feel like everything around us is communication, even healing and the work that we do, is very much about communication. Communicating with ourselves, our bodies, our emotions, our thoughts, our spirit – that is our beliefs – and even with nature. How we communicate with the world around us and how the world around us communicates with us.
After six beautiful years of working from the healing space that is Kingston Integrated Healthcare Inc, I am making the move to focus my in-person practice entirely on my home treatment and workshop space in the West End of Kingston.
It has been an incredible journey with this powerful team led so lovingly and skillfully by Dr. Sonya Nobbe.
Family Constellations is a therapeutic and energetic method for bringing people into an embodied understanding of the connections between personal disease and dysfunction, and their family of origin and inherited ancestral trauma. In this 3-part workshop series, Family Constellations Practitioner and Reiki Master Sarah Knight will guide participants through various individual and group experiences.
As a scientist turned energy healer I often reflect on one of the fundamental equations of science, E=mc2.
Einstein’s equation tells us that energy (E) and matter (m) are interchangeable. It says that a beam of light and an apple core are essentially the same thing. The c in the equation represents the speed of light, and tells us that when energy is released from matter, it travels at the speed of light.
Another quality of energy is that it vibrates at a certain frequency, depending on the kind of energy that we are talking about.
In Kingston, there’s a lot of talk about harmful energetic frequencies emitted by electromagnetic fields. Like all energy, this energy has the ability to interact with matter, possibly changing its structure. This is certainly a great concern.
Later this month, KIHC’s Energy Therapist, Sarah Knight, will be representing Green Economy member KIHC at the Kingston Climate Change Symposium, where she will give a short talk and “Climate Change Trauma Release” mini-workshop. So how does an Energy Healer find her way to a Climate Change Symposium? Here, Sarah explains just how important it is that we start really doing our internal work to support the healing of our external environment.
Sarah Knight has recently brought an internationally-known therapeutic practice to the clinic, that focuses on healing uncomfortable family dynamics, including inherited patterns and traumas that go back generations. Some people and old-world medicines refer to this as resolving energy patterns carried forward from our ancestors. Science calls it epi-genetics.
I stepped in to the centre of the circle of people and my posture changed immediately. I slouched, my toes turned inward, and my gaze shifted fearfully towards the floor as I stood several paces away from both my “husband” and my “daughter”. My body became very much aware of a need to get her as close to me as possible, while steering well clear of his strong presence.
I was not actually married to this man, I’d only just met him earlier that day, but we had both been asked by the young woman to step in to the roles of her parents, in a process known broadly as “Family Constellations”. We were given no information, but such is the experience of a participant who is willing to just follow the lead of their own body in a Family Constellations workshop. As it turned out, we were embodying her parents pretty accurately, and through the careful lead of the facilitator this young woman gained some great insights, and likely took a bit of a leap in her own healing journey, as the constellation revealed clues as to how her family imprint holds her back.
Every day I help people clear energetic blockages from their system. Some of these blockages have their origins in the experiences and traumas of that person’s own lifetime – but some of them do not.
We respectfully acknowledge that Kingston Integrated Healthcare is situated on ancestral Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee territory. Since time immemorial they have cared for these lands and waters, and we are grateful. We recognize that a healthy environment is essential to the wellbeing of all people and all life.
