About Stacy Vajta, MA and Expanded PathwaysI began my life-long passion for this work over20 years ago. Way back in 1987 do I dare datemyself like this?! I began learning about energy work and self healing. And I was hooked

immediately.

I studied for several years with a group of women, learning the art of energy healing, intuitive

reading and massage therapy. And as I began to deepen my understanding of this energetic

information I was receiving, I realized early on howthis healing work affected my own psycho-

spiritual growth; as well as those around me who also explored this path. And so, I continued

my studies in the intuitive arts and bodywork, fine-tuning my intuition and energy work skills.

As I continued on my path, I entered into a Masters program at the California Institute of

Integral Studies in San Francisco, where I focused on body-oriented therapy and

personal/spiritual growth. Vibrational energy healing was an important component of my work,

as it taught me so much about how information (or energy) could be held in the body and

expressed through our unconscious mind.

Over the years, as my work has developed, Ive come to support the whole person in body,

mind and spirit through this portal of energy work. It is through this modality that I find I am

able to speak to my clients and create deep healing and transformation. It is through this work

that I find I am able to cut straight through to the core of the issuewhere the energy is held.

Expanded Pathways was created in 2005 in Oakland, CA,

where I now see clients. My sessions are often described as

unique and comprehensive, as I direct my healing attention

to the physical, mental andspiritual.

In addition to private session work, I teach classes and offer

long distance healing work through phone sessions and teleclasses. To learn more, visit

This Guide is for YouThis Guide is for you if you are:

just beginning your exploration of energy work for self healing experienced in someof the concepts of energy work for self healing yet arent able to

focus on a practice of some kind

looking for tools and techniques to support you in your healing

We are truly going through a shift in our consciousness, and

energy healing plays a role in how we manage the ever-

changing energy that is propelling us along.

We are each being asked to look within, to explore so we are

ready to hold higher levels of light or energy within our

physical bodies. This is transforming our world.

Are you in?


7/22



My PhilosophyI view energy as information. Energy can tell can tell a story about our inner world, our physicalbody and what we need to transform and expand. Many of the tools I will share here in this

Guide will take you on a journey of energetic or informational exploration. What information

am I gathering that will support me? is a key question in this process. And the answer will vary

each time you ask!

My philosophy on healing is that each of us has the capacity to engage in our own healing

process, and that our own energetic intelligenceour body intelligencecan guide us to deep

healing. And with that, we can embark on a journey that can support our physical and

emotional well being.

And at the same time, we may need assistance to help us move through our resistance and/or

to look at how where we are stuck from a different point of view than our own.

For some, more regular or on-going support goes hand in hand with a daily personal practice. It

is important to know when an outside perspective can help us move beyond that stuck place

we often find ourselves in. Ifwe keep going around and around an issue, its a good idea to get

help from an experienced practitioner to get off the meri-go-round. And then, when we receive

this help, our own practice can then assist us in theprocessing and integrating of the energy.

Ultimately, its about creating a relationship to self and spirit that will guide you toward what

you need. I hope this Guide helps you create that relationship.


8/22



How to Use This GuideThe best way to use this Guide is to read through it, try out the exercises and then allow whatcomes to you to guide you. There is no right or wrong way to engage in your healing. And there

is no right or wrong way to work with your energy.

At times you may feel drawn to do this work daily, and other times you may not. Thats OK.

Again, its about creating a relationship with self and Spirit. And to do that, you must listen

inward.

Give yourself time to get into the practice of this work. But dont create such a structure that

you go against what is yourway of doing things. In other words, work with the system that is

you!

When you practice these exercises and focus on your

healing, be sure to turn off the phone. Hide the Crack-berry

if needed so you dont see that flashing light! Remove thedistractions and give yourself time to just be with you.

What is Healing?Healing of course is a big topic. But what I can say here is that healing is a process.

Often we think that healing is the final outcome: when we no longer have the physical problem

or our emotional world feels stable. Id like to suggest that healing is not about the end result,

although that feels good. But consider the idea that healing is about the expansion process.

One thing I have come to understand is that those of us who explore our personal and

energetic healing learn that there is always room to heal, create and expand. And as we chose

to explore our physical awareness or health, or our emotional world, or even take on new

endeavors that may challenge us, there is healing there to explore. There is always some new

information that will take us to deeper and deeper levels of awareness and consciousness.

As we work with energy, the process unfolds as we are able to understand it. And yes, the

result is great when you do feel better. But the healing journeyis one of expansion. And that

continues on.

Here are a few questions to ask yourselfabout what is healing.

What is your definition of healing?

______________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________

Thinking of something you want to change in your life, what kind of change would need to

happen for you to say, Yes, I feel I have healed X in my life? And in thinking of this, what

emotions come up, or what do you feel in your body?

______________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________

If healing was more of a process, what might change for you if you perceived this more as a

flow versus a task list? How might this change your perception of what was happening in your

life?

______________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________


10/22



What is Energy Work?I perceive energy work, or energy healing, as the act of re-organizing energy or energetic

information. Energy and information go hand in hand. Energy is information. There is a

consciousness or intelligence to it. And, by looking at the energyof things we can understand

something about what we are seeing or feeling.

If you didn't get a degree in quantum physics, no worries-here's a breakdown of the ideas both

science and spirituality are grappling with.

Everything is energy. It all boils down to atoms and sub-atomic particles...maybe thingseven smaller than that!

Many of us believe there is something beyond the material universe (what our biologicalminds can see right now). This might be called a quantum field or a different dimension.

Whatever it's called, its a realm of higher vibrations in which there is only pure energy.

There is no barrier between pure energy and matterenergy just flows. The process whereby energy takes on material form seems inescapably linked to some

form of consciousness. Quantum physicists have discovered that no matter could be

created without the involvement of a conscious mind.

When energy becomes matter, or takes on form, it holds a unique intelligence. Theatoms that make up an eye are the same atoms that make up my desk, but each holds

different information. The energy that is fear is the same as joy...it's all energy, just

different information is held within its "intelligence."

There is a Universal Energy Field and, for this discussion, a Human Energy Field.Although everything is energy so everything has a field.

The human energy field is affected by emotions, biological structures, energeticstructures, thoughts as well as energy or information moving through our field. (These

are the basic affecting factors.)

Emotions are "directed energy" aka a very directed flow of information. Emotions giveinstructions to our biological structures. This "instruction" goes to tissues, organs and

systems. It's a two way street however, so if tissue or organs are holding a distorted

energy, it can affect us emotionally.


11/22



So what does this mean for energy healing? Well, when organized energy becomes

dis-organized or distorted, we run into problems.

How does energy become distorted?

Energy can become distorted when the vibration of our energy no longer matches what ourSpirit or Soul needs to resonate at, orwhat we are energetically connecting to outside of

ourselves. For instance, if you have been going along in life and thinking one way, this thought

has a vibration to it. So lets say that life throws you a curve ball and all of a sudden there is a

new way of seeing things or thinking about yourself. The contrast between this newenergy and

yourpresentenergy creates a distortion.

The choice is to let go of the old vibration and shift your energy vibration to something new, or

to resist and keep the status quo.

Energy healing is then the process of that dialogue. What feels right energetically? What is thebodys perspective? What is the Spirits perspective? And, what happens as we try to shift this

energetic awareness? Do we get stuck or can we expand?

Energy is neither good nor bad...it just is. And because energy can change with thought... yours,

mine or anyones and because energy has its own inherent intelligence, energy healing can

shift and change our personal experience and physical health. It can push us along on our path

of expansion. Energy work is about understanding and re-organizing this information.

Sometimes the re-organizing happens instantaneously. Other times, there is the

process.which is healing.

Thought is powerful. What we think creates what we

experience. Id say most of the healing process is about

identifying what we are thinking about and how our

unconscious thought affects our energy. Once we start

identifying whats going on inside, we can more easily notice

those energetic patterns we operate from and change them.


12/22



What Does It Take to Create a Daily Practice?It may seem daunting at first to think about a daily healing practice. But really, its not as hard

as what you may be thinking!

A daily practice just means that you put some attention to your inner world each day. But it

doesntnecessarily mean you have to alter your life or even lifestyle.

Healing needs to be integrated with your life, your values and how you operate on a day to day

basis. If you arent one to sit and meditate, dont. Maybe you will find quiet introspective time

as you walk, or as you sit with a nice cup of tea. Youd be surprised at what you can connect

with within curled up in your favorite chair.

As I said earlier, there are no rules. Energy is energy and it flows no matter what.

You may be more comfortable, however, creating a sacred space and time in which you can

devote to you. Whether you block off 10 minutes or an hour, thats up to you ; but begin by

blocking off some time to give yourself. Dont let this be a random time or you will most likely

fill up your day and then realize your healing time never happened.

Its important to create the time and space for this, but also the energetic space. Intention is

really the way to create that energetic opening and inner desire to do the work.

Hold the intention that you are worthy of this time and focus. This inner process work isimportant. Its not selfish or over indulgent to take time to explore your inner life and heal. In

fact, its quite the opposite. Now is the time to do your healing work. And were all connected.

So as you heal, we all heal. Its a team sport!

Dont beat yourself up if you miss a day. Its not about

getting stuck in a structure for your healing. Play is equally as

important in the healing process. So some days you may

meditate, other days you may walk. Go with what youfeel!

(Remember that its about creating a relationship within!)


13/22



Know Your SelfHere are a few questions to help you create the space to do your healing work.

What time of day feels right for you to tune out the outside world, family, TV etc., and devote

to your healing practice? _______________________________________________________

Where in your home can you do this? Do you have a favorite room or part of your garden that

feels sacred and healing?________________________________________________________

How much time do you have? Dont force yourself to spend more time that you really can give

yourself or you wont create the time you do have.

______________________________________________________________________________

Can you sit and meditate/focus on your inner process? Some people just cant, they fall asleep.

Or maybe it just feels better to sit and gaze out in nature or with eyes relaxed. I wasnt kidding

about the cup of tea! Sometimes I do my best work curled up in a chair nursing a cup of tea and

listening within. ________________________________________________________________

Can you direct yourself in an inner process or might it be easier to listen to a guided

visualization directing you? If yes, visit my website and listen to themeditations there.

______________________________________________________________________________

What else might support you in creating both the physical space and the energetic space to

commit to this work?

Where to Begin?Right now you may be wondering, Just where do I begin? Well, start simply. We all have ourissues and we want to dive in. But in creating an energetic practice you want to get the basics.

These will serve you well.

Try the tools Im offering here. Start with the grounding, and then explore the tools as you are

drawn to them. And when you are in that quiet, peaceful place, you want to ask a simple

question about something going on in your life or what you are noticing in that moment. Just

ask yourself or your Higher Self, and then just see where that goes. Again this is about listening

within and noticing the energy that you feel.

And, if you are wondering how to do that? Well, keep reading!

When it comes to energy, some people feelit, some see

colors, some just sense or know it, some hearitand

some dont feel anything.

As you play with this work, notice how you get energy. If

you dont feel it at all, just play along and imagine you do. In

time you will create a connection of some kind to what you

sense.


15/22



Basic Tools:Energy healing can come from simply bringing your awareness to something and being with it.To simply allow the process to release and unfold and supply you with information as a witness

can be very healing. This approach is a gentle way to work with energy as part of a daily

practice.

Remember, energy is information. When we get something or realize that something isnt

working and we move toward a different emotion, feeling or even action, we shift our energy.

There are basic tools for working with energy that can support you in this process. They are

tools to help you connect to your inner experience and begin to learn about energy and how

you experience your own energy.

These tools take practice. Dont beat yourself up if you dont get it right away.

Just do your best, hold your intention for your healing and trust that something will come! And

if you want more instruction, I do offer some basic energy tool classes. And now that you are

getting my newsletter, you will see those and can plan to attend!

Sometimes it helps to record the instructions as a guided

visualization.

You can record yourself or have a friend do it, and then

follow along so you arent engaged in trying to remember

what is next.


16/22



GroundingGrounding our energy is one of the most important exercises you can learn. Youll use this in

your practice for life.

Grounding is how you settle in and move into your body and energetic awareness. To start

with, it helps to learn a little sequence to help you focus on the intent and train yourself to

move into this grounded state.

Grounding Exercise:1. Find a comfortable place to sit. No phones, no interruptions. This is your time.2. Take a deep breath and settle into your hips. Literally drop your center of gravity into

your hip area. Just relax and allow yourself to expand.

3. Now, bring your awareness inward and focus your attention at the base of your spine.And moving your awareness just an inch or so lower, imagine that you can send a beam

of light energy from that place down into the Earth. Its like turning on a flashlight.

4. Let this channel of light move all the way down into the Earth, down into the very centerof the Earth. See if you can follow this path with your mind.

5. Bring your awareness back into the base of your spine for a moment and notice howwide this column of light is. Does it need to expand to help you feel more stable?

6. When ready, move your awareness to the top of your head, your crown chakra.7. From there imagine a beam of light now moving off your head up into the heavens. Into

the heart of source energy, Sky energy, Universal energy.

8. Let thatchannel of light connect you to your Higher Self. Just make that request toconnect to the energy that knows ALL aspects of you and notice what you experience.

9. And through that channel of light allow that energy to move back down through you.10.You now have a core column of lightmoving from the heart of Source through you and

down into the Earth. This connects you to all that is, and stabilizes you.

11.Let the energy flow, and notice what you experience.12.Dont worry about directing any energy, your energetic intelligence knows the path!

Youve been running this energy all along even if youve never noticed it!

13.Watch, feel, sense, imagine this energy moving through your body. Up your legs,through your spine area/core column of light, and up to the heavensand back down.

14.Just breathe and settle in and feel this energy.


17/22



This grounding exercise is a great exercise to do daily. You can spend as much time in this

grounded space. And once there, you can explore any questions or issues you may want by

simply asking the question and then listening and feeling what you become aware of.

Allowing and ReceivingEnergy healing doesnt need to be all that complicated really. So many of us think there is some

magic to this. But really, it can be as simple as just allowing and receiving.

I say that though, but sometimes allowing and receiving can be the work of a lifetime!

My suggestion as you begin your healing practice is to follow your awareness. Its a practice in

exploration. Youll be learning more about what energy feels like in your body, where things

feel stuck or flowing; but also youll begin to make those connections between your emotions,

thoughts and your energy.

Allowing and Receiving Exercise:1. Sit and ground your energy, check in. And then allow what happens next. When we try

to directour own healing, all we are really doing is continuing the patterns our

conscious mind knows about.

2. Follow your attention and stay with thiswithout trying to fix or change. This can takeyou to new depths of awareness where you will then receive information.

3. The way you will receive this information is either through a thought that pops in yourmind as an aha, or as resistance. Ill share a bit more about resistance later on. But

you can get a lot of information by just sitting with these two experiences.

4. If/when you get the aha, just notice it, let what information may come in and thenstay with what you experience. Its all about following your attention and not getting

hung up on meaning right then and there. But notice the thought, stay with it in a

relaxed way and ask that the energy that is no longer needed here let go. Sometimes

with awareness energy shifts on its own, or it may need to show you more.

5. Stay curious, stay relaxed and just allow and receive. This will go a long way in yourhealing process.

Here is an article that might help explain how to stop struggling against what is, and move into

a space of allowing healing:Stop the Fight; Choose Where You Are and Let the Healing Begin .

ResistanceResistance is as an internal emotional and energetic process. Itacts as a holding pattern. Itsroots however, are from patterns and processes we learned which initiallyserved us.

Our unconscious mind is great at creating those patterns as a way to survive our experiences,

and then equally great at holding onto them for dear life when its time to change. It can feel

overwhelming at times. Our emotional resistance can hold us back if we dont learn to

recognize it and work with it successfully.

Resistance has many faces. Generally though it looks like frustration, feeling stuck, an inability

to focusthe list goes on.

I think one of the most powerful ways of working with resistance is to go into it. Yes, this may

sound counter-intuitive. We usually want to reject what pushes our buttons. But if you can

acknowledge that you are resisting something and then sit with thatagain just allowing and

receivingso much energetic information can be gained and the energy can shift.

Resistance Exercise:1. Sit and ground your energy2. If you begin this process feeling stuck or resistance, you can jump right in. Or maybe you

find the resistance as you do the allowing and receiving exercise.

3. When you find that resistance avoid the urge to change the channel. Just stay there, noneed to fix it or explain it away.

4. Ask yourself what part of you is feeling this way, and see what is shown to you (throughthought, image or energetic feeling.)

5. Spend time with what comes up. Ask how you can support this part of you. Its notabout banishing what we resist, but supporting it to heal. Maybe this part of you may

just need to feel safe so you can let go of the old pattern.

6. Stay with this process and be gentle with yourself. See what you learn about yourself asyou watch/feel your energy. And ask for any energy to be let go of that is no longer

needed. This may be a process of healing.

Here is an article on working with resistance that may help:Tips to Working with Resistance:

Creating Change Even When Your Unconscious Mind Isnt So Sure!

IntentionIntention is a powerful force. Often though, it is misunderstood.

Intention is not just about thinking or wishing for something. It runs much deeper than that.

From an energetic perspective, holding an intention is about aligning our energy with our

thoughts.

There is an energetic integrity to our thoughts. This means that the energy matches the

thought. And if our unconscious mind has a different thought than our consciousintention...its

really hard to create! And thats because our energy will reflect the unconscious thought.

So the work here is again about listening and recognizing when our thoughts about what we are

intending fit, or align, with our energy.

It doesnt help us to try to move beyond where we are energetically. We need to work right

where we are. So if we arent energetically able to hold an intention, we need to explore where

we are and work with any resistance or beliefs that may be coming up.

The other curious thing about intention is that action is a big component. When we take action

on what we intend it gets the ball rolling. And well begin to see where we meet up with energy

that is distorted. The Universe loves action. So use this as a tool in your intention.

If you have an intention you can work in these three ways to be sure you are in energetic

integrity with it:

1. Become aware of your thoughts about what you intend. Notice your energy as you thinkabout this or visualize it. Be honest if you sense there is a disconnect. If so, move your

attention to where your energy is showing you. Start where you are.

2. Work with the resistance that may be there, or the unconscious belief. Move into it andwork with it. It may be frustrating to not be able to just create what you intend right

away, but this is a healing process.

3. Take action. Get out and try this on in the world. This is your lab. As you do, notice howyou respond to what you try to do. Do you feel good? Do you feel afraid? Do you decide

to scrap the project and watch TV instead?! Whereveryou find yourself, work

energetically there with the allowing and receiving tools.

Here are a few articles that may give you more information about working with intention:

Synchronicity: Where Thought and Intention MeetandPut Your Money Where Your Thoughts

Are

When we get stuck in our intention and what we are trying

to create for ourselves, prayer or asking for support on that

energetic/spiritual level is key.

Where we put our thought and attention is where we create

from. So if you are having trouble creating or getting those

intentions to manifest, asking to be open to where you are is

very healing.

If you just dont know where to go with this, ask the guides,

angels, your Higher Selfwhomever you ask for help

fromto show you the way. Ask to be shown where you are

energetically. And ask for help in healing this part of you so

you can move forward.

Remember, when you get the information, act on it. The

Universe truly loves action. Its how you say YES!

The Art of Play and ExpansionPlay is expanding.

We often think that healing has to be structured and serious to support us. Actually its just the

opposite. Yes, we do need to be mindful of our healing process and respect the meaning there,

but to gain access to information and to create change we need an expansive state.

And play can be the way to get there when we feel resistance and completely shut down.

Play can look like just about anything. Getting out and having fun, yes thats definitely play. But

so is playful thinking. Creative projects take us into this playful space. As does honoring

ourselves and what brings us joy.

Its very important in creating your healing practice that you honor this playful expansion.

Playful Exercise: (you can play some music here for inspiration!)1. Set aside time and create that quiet sacred space for yourself.2. Ground your energy so you are present for the fun!3. Now, squish up your facedo a little face exercise. You can even make a little noise here

to get the voice going.

4. Come back to center and drop into your body further.5. Focus on your body, notice your energy. Think about what may feel restricted or

frustrating or stuck.

6. Then let your mind go and let your hands move. Yep, do a little hand dance if you will.Let your whole body move if you want to the music. And hold the intention of

expanding and allowing room for what can come in to support you in the understanding

of the issue or resistance or feeling you have.

7. If you have the desire to think too much here, squelch it! Just let your mind go andmove. Free up that space you need to create an opening for what wants to come in!

Whats Next, How to Deepen Your PracticeCongratulations!Youve step onto your healing path and have the basics for an energeticpractice you can work with daily for self healing!

And as Ive said, energy healing is a life-long process. There are so many ways to explore

energy. The tools I have given you are a great start to create a daily practice and to support

yourself when you meet up with resistance. Yet, they are just the beginning!

To truly become the explorer of your inner world, your psycho-spiritual process, a deepening of

your practice will need to take place. Sowhats next?

Sometimes the more we explore our energy and begin to heal, the more we find. This is the

path of exploration. Its not a bad thing. We want to heal and change. Continuing to learn more

about ourselves energetically may mean acquiring some new skills or tools to work with.

The best way to do this is to work with healers. Take classes and even more importantly, get

work done. With each energetic encounter, you will learn, and even better you will heal.

Dont be afraid to get help. We all need it. Your practice can make your session work all the

more productive.

So explore, allow and receive. You are on your way!

May your healing come with ease and grace.
