A Deep Dive Into Energy Healing With Sheri Fogarty
Over the past 10 years, we’ve watched healthcare systems become harder (and more expensive) to navigate. As healing through spiritual practices and energy work, such as Reiki, become more mainstream and accessible, we’re seeing a lot of self-led practice and more teachers and resources widely available.
But imagine exploring energy healing 35 years ago and the stigma one would face in not just expressing curiosity, but finding the right teachers and people to deepen one’s own practice.
In this podcast episode, Jazz sits down with Sheri Fogarty of Sheri Fogarty Healing, one of the first Reiki Masters in North America, to talk about how Reiki and energy healing has become the go-to for those exhausted of navigating the healthcare system for addressing mental health needs.
In this episode, Sheri and Jazz dive into:
- How Reiki and meditation can be powerful methods for healing.
- What energy blocks are and their relation to anxiety and depression.
- What it means to be a healer and how you can start using energy healing practices on yourself.
“Our health is determined by how our energy flows.” - Sheri Fogarty
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), 18% of the American population is affected by anxiety every year, while 16 million Americans are affected by depression. Both are most prevalent in women, while marginalized communities, specifically the Black and Hispanic communities, are 20% more prone to suffering from mental health disorders.
