Finding Peace: My Journey of Energy Healing

Written By Crystal Hosea

For my birthday this year, I expanded my healing with an energy release and reclaim session. It was exactly what I needed, soul care.

I made a spiritual resolution to embrace this new year with the calmness I want to emit. I spent the better part of last year changing low-energy behaviors and thought patterns that no longer aligned with my higher self. This is light work, but it can get very heavy.

After decades-long blocks lifted, I started to feel my creativity spark. As I healed the thousand women within me, I began writing daily, journaling, and writing poetry again. After deciding to write my memoir, I started to feel some familiar blocks. Sometimes that old energy can creep back in from the shadows when writing an old story. I felt a calling to free the stuck energy.

I Crossed an Opal Path

I met Opal four years ago and knew she would play a special role in my life. She was a photographer then. The rare kind that asks you not to wear makeup so you can see your face. The kind that asks questions about your relationship with your body while covering you with gold paint. She’s the kind of photographer that makes you feel safe, not just in her presence, but in your skin. Truth is, I struggled with disordered eating and body dysmorphia since I was very young. Opal’s raw shots forced me to look at my body in a way I was never comfortable with and to not just accept it, but to fall in love with it. She has a gift for balancing the light and dark, with a camera and without.

Being a talented photographer is just one of her amazing skills though. On top of being a loving wife and amazing mama, Opal is an Oracle and Awakening Guide. She has helped hundreds of women build confidence and transform their lives by illuminating a path of healing through soul connection. Opal is an energy healer, a true inspiration, and a great expander for the light work that I strive to do.

Emerald Heart Healing

In early December I received Opal’s weekly email. An invitation to her sacred space, an invitation to heal. I read the email twice, (the second time out loud so my soul could feel the vibration of Opal’s words from my mouth). Goosebumps covered my entire body and I knew it was a “hell yes” moment!

I scheduled my energy release and reclaim session, and Opal sent over a guide to help me prepare. The guide included a little insight into her journey over the past six years of helping women transform their minds, bodies, and souls. It included information about her process, some integration guidance, and her commitment to support my healing. I clarified my intentions: Dispel stagnant energy. My body and mind felt peace just in the pondering.

The energy healing session began with an intuitive connection and an emotion code exercise. She was able to find trapped emotions and release them. The emotions were not just mine. I was carrying the emotional baggage of my ancestors. Opal listens with an open mind and heart. She speaks in light language and whispers source energy through sounds that you don’t need to understand to feel in your soul. It’s so fucking beautiful.

While on her treatment table, I felt the fragments of all of the energy I had shifted over the last few months magnetize to an energetic cord that ran from my feet to my head. In an instant, the fragments were no longer shards in my soul. They collected to the cord and were pulled out through my feet after I saw Opal push a large boulder with a large SHAME branding on one side. She uses the sound bath of her singing bowls to interact with the body’s energy field. The vibrations are healing.

So This is 41

In an hour and a half, Opal removed the shame block that restrained my soul. Energetic barriers like shame and guilt kept me hostage for more than three decades. I had attempted to heal these pains in the past and had made progress but deep down still didn’t see myself as anything more than the shadow sides of myself that I hid. She didn’t just heal me in the now.

We healed the six-year-old Crystal who believed that she was ugly because some adults in her life didn’t know that words can often hurt more than sticks and stones. The sixteen-year-old Crystal who tried to kill herself because she didn’t know how to quiet the noise in her head. We healed the twenty-six-year-old Crystal who gave her body away to anyone who would show her attention. And the thirty-six-year-old Crystal who was afraid of who she was but found courage outside of her closet.

Release and Reclaim

My healing era is here. The healing is deep, where the darkness and light meet. I’ve always known the light was within me but I feared that the darkness would keep me from my highest self. Now I know we are one. I never expected miracles or magic, because I often thought peace of mind would do. But, miracles and magic found me nonetheless! Often in the form of trials and tribulations, all of my lessons transmuted into blessings.

Integrating all I have learned since my spiritual awakening began is an intense process. I am filled with gratitude and grace as I move forward through my pain to my purpose. To heal and evolve and to help other souls heal and evolve. I’m so thankful to be on this healing journey, intertwining souls and collecting pieces of my peace along the way.
