Curious about what actually happens during an energy healing session? This blog offers a peek into how I, Dr. Melinda Pillsbury Arnold, use Solution Focused therapy and the Ancestral SaRa Technique to help clients experience real emotional release and transformation. If you think it’s all floating crystals and soft music, think again (though we do enjoy a little ambience). Let me walk you through what you can expect from the Best energy healing therapy in New Mexico.

Who I Am and Why This Matters

I’m Dr. Melinda Pillsbury Arnold, and I have decades of experience helping people heal trauma and PTSD. But my work goes beyond talk therapy. I bring together Solution Focused therapy, my own ancestry, and ancient Egyptian healing techniques to create deeply personal experiences. You won’t find a one-size-fits-all approach here. My clients often say, "It’s like being truly seen for the first time—but in a way that feels safe and affirming."

What Energy Healing Therapy Really Is

Energy healing isn’t some mystical guessing game. It involves clearing emotional blockages, restoring balance to the body and spirit, and opening the heart to new possibilities. It’s grounded in science too. According to a study published in the Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine, over 65% of participants reported significant improvements in mental well-being after regular energy healing sessions.

First Session: No Need to Be Nervous

I get it. Walking into a healing session can feel like you’re stepping onto another planet. But here’s what really happens: we talk, I listen, and together we tune in to what your energy and emotions are trying to tell us. There’s no weird chanting (unless you bring it up).

The Ancestral SaRa Technique Explained

This technique draws from ancient Egyptian practices and ancestral wisdom, passed through my lineage. It focuses on clearing the heart center and removing blocks that may have been carried through generations. It sounds deep, and it is—but it’s also gentle, specific to your needs, and always rooted in respect and safety.

What Happens During a Session?

Here’s a look at how a typical session might unfold:

Stage	What You Might Experience
Grounding	Breathing exercises to connect mind & body
Emotional Mapping	We gently uncover emotional and ancestral blocks
SaRa Activation	Hands-on or hands-near work to shift energy
Guided Insight	I may share intuitive messages or imagery
Closing Reflection	We discuss what came up and what’s next

Each session is different because you are different.

Emotional Energy Release Therapy: What You Experience

Clients often say they feel "lighter," like a weight has lifted off their chest. Others get goosebumps, feel sleepy, or find themselves laughing about things they didn’t even know were stuck inside them. That’s what emotional energy release therapy is about—getting things moving that have been quietly running the show.

Benefits You May Notice (Sometimes Surprisingly Quickly)

· Less emotional reactivity

· Fewer headaches or tension in the body

· Better sleep (pajamas recommended, but not required during sessions)

· More clarity in relationships

· A strange urge to dance again (true story)

As quoted by a source, energy therapy techniques work by balancing the body’s internal and external energy fields to support overall health and wellness. Doctors often call these treatments complementary or alternative therapies. More and more people are becoming interested in using energy therapies to help manage different health conditions.

These methods can also help bring about more positive emotions and thoughts. Many people choose to use energy therapies alongside traditional medical treatments to enhance healing and emotional well-being.

Why New Mexico? Why Now?

New Mexico is a deeply spiritual place with strong ancestral energy. The land itself holds wisdom that supports this kind of healing. I chose to practice here because of its stillness, its honesty, and its history. That, and the chile peppers are fantastic.
