Deep Rooted Healing

07/28/2025

For 5 years, I have woken up every morning, walked to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and came back into my bedroom and sat at this little table. It has become a ritual born out of challenging circumstances that turned into a profound gift of space, quiet, and freedom to create, feel, ponder, learn, grow, go deep and heal.

Often anxiety swirls inside of me when I am here…what should I do? What’s going to happen? Thoughts about hurrying up and worrying about not doing things right. I imagine you know the kind.

And there have also been countless creative ideas that came to life at this little table…poems, art pieces, classes, conversations. Things that lived in the ethers that I brought into being in some kind of physical form.

There have been immeasurable emotions that have moved through me here too…about the past, about the present, about the possible future.

I have read and read and read some more. So many books and articles have entered my mind at this table, changing me.

I have taken classes and watched documentaries and had conversations with friends around the world, all right here too.

And most precious of all, I have made art with my niece here, playing, laughing, and creating together.

It’s amazing what a small corner of a room can become. It has taken effort, dedication, determination, gumption, and courage to sit here everyday with myself and make decisions and feel feelings and choose to express what is inside and try new things. And I am so grateful for all of it. 🩷

I haven’t always felt a connection to angels. It started with a curiosity to understand more about them, so I started reading and learning what I could find that appealed to me. I also began having experiences during Reiki sessions with clients where I felt their presence and overwhelming love unlike anything I had ever felt before. As I chose to keep exploring, asking questions and seeking, more and more has opened up and it has truly been amazing! I am excited to share what I have learned in a new class I’m offering for folks who may be curious too. 🩷

Some things I’ve learned about angels that have surprised me:

-They aren’t solely connected to religion although most religions mention them. I am not religious but I do identify as spiritual. None of that matters when it comes to angels though, they are here to connect to all of us no matter how we identify. 🩷

-Angels are purely loving beings of light whose purpose is to help all humans live our most meaningful, joyful, heart-centered lives. They will protect us, guide us, support us and inspire us to move in positive directions.

-They respect our free will and won’t step in to help us unless we ask them to (except in certain life threatening circumstances).

-They love laughter, music, leaving us signs and messages and will usually choose to reach out to us in ways that will speak to us individually.

-There is nothing to fear about angels. They will never harm us or be cruel in any way. It is against their beautiful, pure divine nature. 💕

Have you ever had an experience with angels? I’d truly love to hear about it if you’d like to share here or in a private message. And if you feel inspired to come to my class, it would be wonderful to have you. You can sign up through the link in my bio or by going to www.deep-rooted-healing.com/classes. 🩷

Hi beautiful soul,
I wrote this poem this morning and feel inspired to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it and experience your own unexpected jolts of joy today. 🩷✨

"Tiny Feather"
by Emma Freeman

If I hadn’t paused in the kitchen
this morning to take the moldy orange
out to the compost pile
I wouldn’t have felt my feet
standing on the soft bed of clover
or the warm kiss of the sun on my face
or the trees nourishing breath enter my lungs
or the sweet birdsong surrounding
and soothing me
If I hadn’t slowed down enough
to step outside today
I wouldn’t have felt the profound jolt of joy
when I looked down to see a tiny
spotted feather on the ground
as I followed the path back home.

One of the most amazing things I’ve experienced with Reiki in my life is how it helped me heal an autoimmune condition I’ve had for many years called Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. I was diagnosed in 2017 and was told by my doctor at the time that my lab numbers were the worst he had ever seen and he was surprised I wasn’t in a coma. I didn’t know how to process that at the time. I was told to take thyroid hormone medication and to stay on it for the rest of my life and all should be fine.

Fast forward a few years of being on the meds, I started to get a feeling inside, wondering why this happened in the first place and why there wouldn’t be a way to get my thyroid functioning properly again so I could stop taking the meds. That question led me down many roads searching for answers. I tried various holistic approaches to support my thyroid health and began receiving Reiki. Two extraordinary experiences with Reiki gave me the inner sense that my thyroid was functioning properly again and I no longer needed the medication. And a month ago, my lab results proved that to be true-my thyroid is doing its job and I have not needed the meds for a year and a half! What I was told was a chronic illness that would never go away turned out to not be true and it feels so empowering to know that I can trust my body’s wisdom and that it is possible for healing to happen.

I share my whole story on my podcast if you’d like to listen. I hope my story helps someone on their healing journey. 🩷

I’m happy to be offering some openings for Reiki massages this summer after taking a little break. If you would like to a book a session, you can do that here: https://deep-rooted-healing.square.site/

Reiki massages can support healing on all levels, helping to calm and relax the mind and body, relieve tension and stress and create the space for deeper insights to arise inside us that can help us move forward in positive ways.

I’m wishing you a peaceful, healthy, joy-filled summer. 🩷

I’m happy to share that at the beginning of this month, I took over this beautiful healing space so my friend and fellow healer could pursue what she is being called to create next. I had a flurry of a few weeks getting everything planned and finished, from picking out paint colors (that green is called “Hummingbird”, how perfect is that?), having friends help me paint, finding furniture (I am obsessed with the swanky green and gold chairs!) and deciding what I wanted to fill the space with.

Now that it’s all finished, it feels so good to stand in here and breathe. I added in more of my art and sacred objects I’ve gathered over the years, more books from my personal collection and sprinkled in a little more retail as well…oracle cards, gorgeous scarves, more books I love and some more crystals. It feels cozy and comfortable in here and I love it. Everything has a story. I look forward to continuing to share this space with my community this summer through healing sessions, Reiki shares and creative classes. 🩷✨🦋

What a beautiful weekend teaching another Reiki Level 3 class in my space! 🩷 We went deep and shared parts of our journeys and why we feel called to Reiki, we worked with the energy through hands-on exercises and practice with each other, we explored our intuition and discussed how we can build more trust in messages and insights we receive while offering Reiki, talked about how to build professional Reiki practices and more. It makes me profoundly fulfilled to get to teach these classes and help amazing souls awaken their natural healing abilities. 🙏🏻✨

My next round of Reiki classes begins in August:

🌸Reiki Level 1 Class: August 9th-10th, 2025

🦋Reiki Level 2 Class: October 18th-19th, 2025

🌈Reiki Level 3 Class: December 13th-14th, 2025

If you feel called to learn Reiki with me, it would be such an honor to be your teacher. You can learn more through my website, www.deep-rooted-healing.com/classes and through the link in my bio.

May we all continue to anchor into the love we truly are and share that generously with the world in whatever ways call to us. 🩷

I’m so happy to share that my new Inner Child Art Club for adults is now open and welcoming new members! 🌈🩷

This has been such a joy to bring into being. Inspired by the art play dates I have with my magical 5 year old niece, I created art lessons, printable creative tools, and a warm and gentle online space to connect with the inner child inside of us who longs to be given room to express openly and freely. It has amazed me how these practices have awakened a radiant joy and deep connection to the younger parts of me. I feel empowered, full of awe and inspired to live boldly and authentically. It truly has been such a gift to create like a child again. 🩷

If this calls to you, it would be an honor to have you come play with me and my inner child. It will be like you’re coming over to my house to make art together. 🦋

Details:

🌸 The club lives online with a growing library of recorded simple art videos and downloadable kits so you can dive in and begin creating with me any time, day or night, wherever you live in the world.

🩷 There are occasional Zoom play dates to hang out together, share what we’re learning and make art in community.

🦋 This club is open to anyone. No art experience is necessary, just a desire to create joyful, messy, playful art and connect to the young parts of you to discover what they want to express through you.

🌈The pricing is a little different than most clubs. Instead of monthly fees, there is a one time exchange ($66) and then you become an Inner Child Art Club member for life! Because my intention is that, regardless of where life leads us, you and your inner child will always be part of this sacred creative circle.

You can join now through the link in my bio or by going to https://emmafreeman.podia.com/inner-child-art-club.

I hope to see you there if you feel called. 💕

with lots of love,
Emma

I found this incredible song recently by Sarah McLachlan called, “Bring on the Wonder” that she wrote in 2008. I can feel it in my bones when I listen to it, it’s like an invocation inside me in the most amazing way. It inspired me to sit and create this morning in my art journal. As I listened to the song on repeat, I cut out a magical dragonfly from a greeting card, then painted around it with gold acrylic paint pens, sparkly watercolor paint and added some gold nail polish. It all flowed intuitively in the moment, guided by the wisdom and energy of this song. I love making deep mixed media art like this, it is so fulfilling to my soul.

Here are the amazing lyrics she wrote: ✨

I can’t see the stars anymore living here
Let’s go to the hills where the outlines are clear
Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long
I fell through the cracks at the end of our street
Let’s go to the beach,get the sand through our feet
Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long
Bring on the wonder
We got it all wrong
We pushed you down deep in our souls for too long
I don’t have the time for a drink from the cup
Let’s rest for a while ’til our souls catch us up
Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long
Bring on the wonder
We got it all wrong
We pushed you down deep in our souls, so hang on
Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long
✨🙏🏻🩷

Dear Beautiful Soul,

If you’ve felt a quiet stirring in your heart or a flicker of knowing that you are meant to dive deeper into Reiki—this is your invitation.

Reiki Level 3 is not just a course, it is an initiation into sacred space, expanded intuition, and the soul-lit path of healing—for yourself, for others, and for the world. It’s where Reiki becomes a way of being.

In this sacred circle, we will explore:

✨ The subtle art of listening to your intuition—your inner compass—and using it to guide healing for yourself and others

�🌿 Exploring the aura/biofield: sensing, shifting, and weaving energy in the luminous field around the body to facilitate balance and harmony.

�✨ Playing with ways to weave crystals, sound, sage, oracle cards, and altars into your sessions to amplify healing and personal exploration for each client

�🩷 Ways to support emotional release and spiritual awakening with gentleness, compassion, and kindness

�✨ Ancient Japanese meditations that nourish your spirit and deepen the intention of Reiki

�🩷 Holding sacred space with reverence, intention, clear boundaries and trust

�🌿And for those called to serve—guidance on how to root a heart-centered Reiki practice in the world, to share your light with your community.

(And more!)

If you feel called to learn this level of Reiki with me, I’d love to have you join us in June!

With love and gratitude,�
Emma
