FAQs
Hi.
Hi!
Okay. So, I’ve read through your website, but still… what is it you do, exactly?
Sure! Let’s start from the top. My name is Jeff and I’m a Healing Key Way practitioner.
Cool. What is Healing Key Way?
Healing Key Way is an intention-based system of energy/spiritual pathwork.
In one sentence, what is it you do as a Healing Key Way practitioner?
My clients each walk their own inner path of discovery, healing, transformation, and growth - I simply hold up a lantern.
What is energy/spiritual pathwork?
We, as humans, are each Spirit (the Self at the level of energy), and we have a body. “Energy,” “Consciousness,” “Spirit,” “Soul,” “Essence Self,” “Higher Self,” “Qi,” “Chi,” “Prana,” “Life Force,” etc. - these are all names for the same thing: that which we are, at the deepest level. There is no right or wrong term to use.
Energy/spiritual pathwork is a process of raising/expanding one’s level of Consciousness. As we do this, we experience the world in a more and more positive way. The byproduct of this work is healing, transformation, and growth that has a ripple-out effect into one’s waking/conscious life experience.
Consider the metaphor of climbing a mountain. We each have our own path up our own mountain. Navigating this path is not always easy. However, the more we do it, the higher we climb. The higher we climb, the more we’re able to see. The more we’re able to see, the greater our awareness of ourselves, others, the world, and life in general. This kind of expanding awareness ripples out into our ongoing experience of life, from within. It is a journey of revealing and experiencing our true nature: Love.
With Healing Key Way, you’re still the one climbing your mountain - I just hold up a lantern.
The benefits of energy/spiritual pathwork are many, and are unique to each person.
What kinds of things can Healing Key Way address?
Anything you want to change - to be different - in your life. In the broadest terms: “I want less of X, in my life,” and/or “I want more of Y, in my life.”
And what is “Pathway Within?”
“Pathway Within” is simply the name of my website.
Got it. So how does a Healing Key Way session work?
We meet, one-on-one via video chat, or over the phone.
Your Deepest Wisdom Self (your Spirit, “essence self,” “highest self,” [name you’d prefer], etc.) then guides us through the Healing Key Way protocols via applied kinesiology (muscle testing) to a story from your life that has a negative charge on it that no longer serves your highest good, transformation, growth, and evolution and/or a story that helps point out, reaffirm, and integrate a healthy way of being, within the context of your present life. These stories can be a real memory, a dream, an abstract thought, etc.
Still guided by your Deepest Wisdom Self and the HKW protocols, we then identify an energetic intervention that will remove the negative charge associated with the story from your energy field/Spirit, or help integrate perspectives of affirmation and well-being from the story. An energetic intervention does not erase the memory - it changes your energy field and how you respond to life situations.
How does my Deepest Wisdom Self guide us through the protocols?
Via Applied Kinesiology (aka “muscle testing”). Muscle testing is the process of determining “strong” and “not strong” responses from the body. In Healing Key Way, muscle testing serves as the mouthpiece for the client’s Deepest Wisdom Self, whereby a “strong” response means “yes,” and “not strong” response means “no.”
When a session is held in-person, the client’s arm is often tested by physically applying gentle downward pressure. When doing this work remotely, practitioner and client are in a unified link, energetically, which allows for the practitioner to muscle test on behalf of the client.
Muscle testing has been used for decades by chiropractors, nutritionists, acupuncturists, and other practitioners as a means of determining information about clients’ needs.
Can I be doing other things, during a session?
Life is full of distractions, and sometimes they interrupt us unexpectedly - we’re human! However, as with so many things, you get out of spiritual pathwork that which you put into it.
So, if things like work, text messages, the TV/computer, environmental aspects, activities, and even other people or animals are too distracting during a session, we would go ahead and reschedule the session for a time when you are able to be free of distractions and put your whole focus on you, your intention(s), and the work being done.
Is Healing Key Way therapy and/or counseling?
Healing Key Way is not licensed medicine and/or medical science. It is not licensed counseling or licensed mental therapy of any kind. If you are experiencing any immediate physical or mental conditions of concern, please seek the guidance and assistance of licensed medical and/or mental health professional(s).
Healing Key Way addresses issues at the level of Energy/Spirit. As part of the basic principles of Healing Key Way, we exist in a state of duality - we are spirit (energy) and have form (body). Thus, as beneficial as it can be to take care of one’s spirit, it is also important to take care of one’s body and mind. Many who are involved in one or more kinds of spiritual pathwork also incorporate routines and guidance for their physical and mental health and well-being.
Again, the benefits of energy/spiritual pathwork are many, are unique to each person, and can be experienced in myriad ways.
Is Healing Key Way religious?
HKW is not religious, nor a religion. HKW is an intention-based system of individual, personal spiritual path work.
Everyone has their own unique spiritual path of healing (e.g. meditation, yoga, Reiki, personal faith and religious practices, exercise, creative activities like painting, a combination of those, etc.). Each one serves a person in a way that’s best for them.
While Healing Key Way operates from a few principles, they are not dogmatic, meaning you can consider them however feels most comfortable to you (e.g. symbolic). With Healing Key Way, there are no obligations, expectations, or requirements of any kind. You just show up for a session, do the session, then continue on your way.
I am religious. Can I still do Healing Key Way?
Absolutely! All are welcome to do this work. To echo the Disclosure found at the bottom of each page on this website, “The founders and practitioners of Healing Key Way recognize it as a means of personal evolution, and the principle by-product is healing. It does not replace any religion or spiritual path you now have; rather, it enhances it. It is a system of healing, because it brings you in touch with your true nature as an individual Soul.” Healing Key Way respects all life.
I am not religious, nor do I believe in energy, spirit, God, etc. Can I still do Healing Key Way?
Absolutely! HKW is available to all and functions, whether or not one believes in energy, spirit, consciousness, a god, or any reference to spiritual, religious, and/or non-material leaders, figureheads, and/or phenomena - even HKW itself.
Is Healing Key Way an organization?
No. Healing Key Way is not an organization of any kind. There are practitioners of it, and clients of it. Each practitioner practices on their own. There is no hierarchy of any kind. There are no dues, obligations, or requirements beyond my own standard practice disclosure, late-cancellation and no-show policy, and the session fee.
How long do I have to do HKW?
For however long as you’d like. Some folks begin Healing Key Way for a specific issue(s) in their life, then part ways once they’ve found a sense of completeness with it. Some involve Healing Key Way as part of their regular routine. Others experience it, then determine it’s not for them.
Frequency of sessions varies from person to person, from once-a-week to once every couple of months to every few months, or even years. It’s a personal choice.
Whichever it might be for you, love and highest vibes to you on your journey!
Is Healing Key Way right for me?
Healing Key Way is intention-based work that involves accessing and dealing with one’s emotions as a means of affecting change in their life. It is through one’s intention - one’s personal want to [do/remove/have/experience x ] - that healing, transformation, and thus growth are addressed.
Spiritual pathwork is a personal, individual, and experiential process. Thus, the only person that can decide whether or not to experience it is you.
