Everyone carries life force energy, which is intended to move freely through channels in the body, similar to how blood moves through the circulatory system. Sometimes blockages form which prevent energy from flowing freely, causing stagnant energy to build, impacting one’s physical and emotional wellbeing. Blockages can be caused from a variety of different things, including behavior patterns which exacerbate the issue. You may have a blockage if you are experiencing difficulty expressing emotion, physical pain in a part of your body, increased tension, fatigue, etc.

“I don’t think you need to know WHAT you’re untangling, just that there is something to untangle. A thorn in your shoe. An itch at the back of your head. Is it confusion, discomfort, pain? Mahala will help you pull the thread if you come with the thread identified. If you don’t have a thread, I think that’s OK too. “

Additionally, you may find the unraveling process helpful if you are repeating a pattern that you do not understand. The process will help to illuminate the nature of patterns, which can help with overcoming them. Changing behavior patterns is difficult work, and often takes a lot of time and intention. This work is best done in conjunction with other healing practices, including therapy.

The unraveling process is a form of energy healing that is being shown to Mahala by her ancient ancestors. This process is similar to other forms of energy healing, such as reiki, but has not been taught by a person and is not in an official lineage.

Mahala is able to percieve energy like threads overlaying the body, and blockages appear as tangled knots. These blockages often have physical manifestations as well, as muscle tension. Using a mixture of guided meditation, yoga postures, massage, and energy manipulation, Mahala is able to loosen and detangle the knot and release stagnant energy. This unraveling is often accompanied by deep emotional releases, which may be felt by Mahala or by the individual receiving the healing work. Once the blockage has been cleared, there may be an opportunity for the third eye to be opened, and life force energy to flow through your system. This energetic experience is helpful for keeping the pathways cleared longer, and may be intense for individuals who have not experienced it before.

After the process has been completed, there will be grounding and aftercare to help you to reorient in your body. This work is intense. Afterwards individuals may feel vulnerability, relief, exhaustion, euphoria, or even increased energy. It is essential to be gentle with yourself afterwards, and allow for integration time.

Immediately following an unraveling session, individuals are often fatigued and vulnerable, needing time to settle into the body. In the days and weeks following, individuals may find themselves to be more energetic, in-tune with their energy body, aware of the way they engage with the world, and sensitive to new aspects of reality.

“I do the Unraveling sessions because modern society and life kick us out of feeling our bodies, or there is something in my body that feels off. This gives me an opportunity to get insight from another person, trained in this, about what is blocked and why so I can focus on it. Unraveling helps me to stay in my body longer and keep an eye on the spot. There is a map of anatomy in my brain, that area is marked for repair. “

Unfortunately, blockages are often formed by behavioral patterns, and clearing a blockage does not prevent it from reforming. Overtime, it is common for the blockage to reform, or for new ones to develop. Continued attention to behavioral patterns and independent work can slow the process, and long term behavior changes can prevent them from reforming. Changing behavior patterns is difficult work, and often takes a lot of time and intention. Individuals are encouraged to continue with energy work to clear blockages. as needed. This work is best done in conjunction with other healing practices, including therapy, to eventually reduce the need.
