The Connection Conduit

I started this work to honor myself and my own unique gifts and calling to be of service to humanity. Let me tell you a little bit about the work I am offering and the origin story of the work so you can see for yourself what I am up to.

 

My many years of work experience as a psychiatrist, primarily in a psychiatric emergency room assessing folks who were having an acute mental health crisis coupled with my own life experiences, including experiences where I needed healing myself, led me on a many year search to find a path of healing that felt all-encompassing of mind, body and spirit, as I did not feel this was available to me when in need of my own healing or when I was in the role of healer in a traditional health care system. On my quest, I have learned many things, both about myself and intellectually. I pursued higher education and training in topics like integrative medicine, mindfulness meditation, shamanism and energy healing. I tested out many, many forms of healing on myself over the years and what I discovered helped me the most was believing in my own power to heal and that I was worthy of healing. In addition to believing in my own ability to

heal, I found that developing a deep connection with myself, with my own inner knowing and divine guidance and leaning into my connection with nature and supportive people, allowed me to truly transmute my darkness into light, to alchemize painful human experiences into wisdom and growth.

 

Our current healthcare system is not set up for patients to see their own impact on their healing, that healing is a choice (*healing is not to be confused with the word cured), that healing takes time and that they in fact have their own inner compass through their heart that can lead them during difficult times. Our healthcare system simply put, does not create space for the mystical

or the divine to be expressed or experienced in the exam room or within the prescriptions handed out. It does not give room for a healer to tap into their own instinctual skills or judgements and it certainly doesn’t leave the patient feeling empowered.

 

It is with these teachings and awareness, I decided to risk my financial and career security and left the practice of medicine in order to create a space for healing that really felt true to me and needed at this time. I am excited to announce the creation of Connection Ceremonies, birthed from what I felt was missing in my experience as healer and person needing healing.

 

Connection Ceremonies are a healing embodiment experience created by the Connection Conduit, Eli Nicholson for individuals who may be at a crossroads in life or are looking for ways to connect with their own healing abilities. If you are interested in remembering the path to your own wise and compassionate heart, this work may be for you. If you feel like something has been missing in your own healing journey, this work may be for you. If you feel at all curious or pulled to this work, it also may be for you.

 

So what is a Connection Ceremony? A Connection Ceremony is a sacred and safe space created by Eli, the Connection Conduit, for healing and greater awakening to unfold. In this individually crafted session one can expect to be guided into a place of stillness, awareness and receptivity that allows the individual to perceive themselves or challenging situation through a lens of the vibration of love, understanding and compassion. Eli believes that we are all

connected through a higher power and by accessing her own gifts of being highly intuitive, empathic and insightful she can serve as a conduit to other folks to access their own spiritual messages and insight. Part of Eli’s gift as a healer is to help people find hope and meaning during difficult life situations and transitions. Eli calls upon the ancient wisdom held within and around us in nature to create meaningful ceremonies to honor one’s own healing journey and

loving heart. Eli’s work is meant to be empowering and help spark alchemy in her clients. She humbly recognizes that she is just that, a conduit, the connector in ceremony and that the real power is in the person she is sitting with. Eli’s ceremonies can help one gain clarity, confidence and a deeper understanding of their own wise heart. It is fully up to the client to decide what to do with the information that comes through from our time together and how they proceed. Healing requires courage, as does stepping into our authentic selves. I hope to see some of you soon!
