Hello! I’m Lisa Caffey, I’m an vitality healer & soundbath practitioner based mostly out of Southern California & I maintain sacred area for folks eager to dissolve blockages & increase their frequency. I wasn’t all the time “good vibes” & “love & gentle”… the truth is, I used to be a complete stress case earlier than I discovered vitality therapeutic. Rising up, I struggled with a variety of hardship.
I grew up with my grandmother in Newport Seaside, CA however it wasn’t your typical straightforward dwelling by the seaside. I had one dad or mum battling habit whereas the opposite was by no means in my life. Going to personal Christian faculty, this was clearly not your regular Christian family which made my adversities that rather more troublesome. I discovered myself battling crippling anxiousness assaults, studying disabilities, unhealthy coping mechanisms & extreme self price points.
By the point I used to be attending Santa Barbara Metropolis School, my solely technique of combating any type of stress was partying… & boy, was I good at it. Some would possibly even consult with me because the lifetime of the celebration… which was manner higher than being known as a fear wart??? I shortly realized this way of life was not sustainable, wholesome or serving me in any manner. However I noticed no different manner out.
It wasn’t till I took a yoga class in 2017 that modified my life endlessly.
Every class, my yoga teacher would dedicate a category to a non secular educating just like the chakras, reiki vitality therapeutic, breathwork, affirmations & extra! I used to be utterly hooked. I’d go dwelling to do my very own analysis & started making use of my learnings into my on a regular basis life. And I used to be beginning to see a MAJOR shift. My boyfriend on the time (now fiancé!!) even acknowledged a optimistic change in me saying, “you appear so chill now that you just’ve been doing yoga.” He was proper, I positively discovered my chill.
As a substitute of overly stressing or having panic assaults that when consumed me, I now discovered methods to manage & finally heal my thoughts, physique & soul in a wholesome manner. Properly, the Universe loves to check our progress & I used to be given the final word take a look at. On March seventeenth, 2018 I obtained a telephone name stating that my grandfather had an airplane accident. I used to be devastated. My grandpa was a extremely expert pilot of fifty years. On that Saturday, he calmly radioed in that he was having engine issues which resulted in a deadly crash within the yard of a neighborhood dwelling in Riverside, CA. Fortunately, nobody else was injured.
On the second day of mourning, I informed myself, “one week, then I’ll rise up.”
I let myself go to the depths of my soul to really feel each ounce of despair I had. After 9 days of crying, watching Disney films, having my boyfriend are inclined to my each humanly want (thanks babe, I’m endlessly grateful), I obtained up & leaned into my non secular practices & strategies. I remembered my yoga instructor talked about reiki vitality therapeutic, a course of to vibrationally convey the physique again to stability so I figured… what the hell, I’ve obtained nothing to lose. I went to my session & was SHOOK, I really felt an enormous weight lifted off my shoulders.
I started receiving common periods & really consider I’ve been in a position to transmute my ache into peace… even function! I finally grew to become an authorized Reiki Grasp & sound therapeutic got here shortly after that. I shortly fell in love with the therapeutic vibrations of soundbaths. The truth is, I’ve all the time been a kind of individuals who could possibly be transported right into a time or area based mostly on music… & sound therapeutic did simply that for me. It took me to a good looking oasis of my being that gave me the chance to deepen my therapeutic & peace to a complete new stage.
