Episode 4 – My First Experience with Energetic Healing

What happens when you’re injured, freezing, and out of options and the only thing left to trust is the energy in your own hands?

In this episode of This Side of Knowing, I share the story of my very first experience with energetic healing. It wasn’t planned. It wasn’t something I believed in. It happened out of desperation one winter morning in 2017, after months of practicing Qigong and learning to cultivate energy.

A severe ankle injury deep in the snowy woods forced me to rely on what I had been building through daily Qigong practice: energy. What happened next shocked me, challenged everything I thought I knew, and opened the doorway into the world of energy healing, Wei Chi (the body’s energetic defense system), and the power of trust in the unknown.

This isn’t just a story about injury and recovery. It’s about how energy can show up in the most unexpected places, how skeptics and “spiritual detractors” can derail your confidence, and how one powerful confirmation — from Master Co at a Tony Robbins event — forever changed the way I saw healing, the body, and possibility itself.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What Wei Chi (Wei Qi) is — and how it functions as the body’s energetic shield.
• The difference between adrenaline, willpower, and true energetic protection.
• The night I injured my ankle in the woods and discovered the reality of self-healing with energy.
• What it felt like to send healing energy into my body and experience pain dissolve.
• Why I doubted the experience — and how Master Co’s pranic healing demonstration confirmed I wasn’t imagining it.
• The role of spiritual dismissal and detractors in slowing down (but not stopping) my energetic journey.

Takeaway

Here’s the takeaway from today’s story: the body may know how to heal in ways the mind can’t yet explain. When energy healing shows up in unexpected places, trust it. Don’t bury it, don’t discount it... stay open and true to the experience itself.

Because sometimes the unknown isn’t here to scare us. It’s here to remind us of what’s possible.

👉 If you’ve ever wondered about qigong, energy healing, pranic healing, or spiritual awakening, this episode is for you.

Next week, I’ll share the story of the first time I tried to talk about this experience — and what happened when the people I trusted dismissed it. It’s an episode about detractors, spiritual superiority, and how to keep going even when others don’t believe you.
