Energy Work

| what I do

Energy is a big word. The way I talk about it, energy is the stuff that everything is made of. Even what we think of as solid matter, when broken down into the smallest pieces, is energy. Love is an energy. So are music and laughter.

Our bodies are held together by energy and there is energy flowing through our bodies as electrical impulses, heat, and kinetic vibration. There are also types of energy that mainstream Western science is just beginning to learn about, like “qi” (or chi), which is the life-force energy manipulated by acupuncture*.

Then there are energies that are less-scientifically observable, but which many people worldwide cultivate and work with. Some examples of these energies are the conscious energy of the planet, psychic/telepathic energy, and conscious expression from a multi-dimensional or extraterrestrial source (originating outside the limits of the earth).

I work with all of these types of energies with a spirit of play, exploration, being in service to others, and ultimately, unconditional love. Unconditional love means that there is no emotional charge, no good or bad–just presence in the moment with open attention to what the most fulfilling experience is.

When I work with clients, my attention is on serving the highest need, request, or desire for that person. Since our conscious consciousness, the part of us that identifies as “I”, is only a tiny fraction of our total awareness, I usually receive information about what to do from the client’s higher self*. Listening to someone’s higher self is a matter of becoming clear in one’s own emotional body and engaging their higher self through a channel of unconditional love.

We become attuned to what is most beneficial in the moment, and thus, there is no prescribed structure for an energy work session. However, there are some things that are fairly commonplace. For example, in most cases, in order to bring in energy from a multi-dimensional source there needs to be a base level of vibrational clarity in the client so that they can properly receive this new energy. Achieving that clarity typically involves cleansing the pathways in their body where energy flows, removing toxins from internal organs that regulate relevant body functions, and clearing blockages in key joints and appendages.

Other commonplace activities during an energy work session include:

Talking – Possibly the most superficial of techniques, but it can have a profound effect on shifting the emotional body and activating dormant awareness.

Pressure Points – Applying pressure to pressure points releases muscle tension and also facilitates the flow of qi and other subtle energies*.

Sound Toning – Has a similar effect as pressing pressure points, but is achieved by my emitting sound from my mouth aimed at a chakra*, a body part, or the outer auric field*.

Sometimes, things occur in sessions that are not very commonplace. I work with people across multiple lifetimes (they occur simultaneously but we commonly refer to them as past and future) so we are able to transmute* bleed-through energies–energies that can be seemingly unrelated to what you’re doing here and yet can have strong effects on you. I also communicate with beings on other planes, so your guides/spirits/ancestors/friends are able to be present while working on you and give you important messages.

Other less commonplace activities include:

DNA Work – This activates parts of your being that shift the fundamental “tone” of your embodiment frequency. In other words, the possibilities for how you will express who you are and interact in the world change significantly.

Holographic Embedding – Energy apparatuses are constructed holographically around the client’s body. These apparatuses can perform a variety of functions, from acting as a boundary layer with other people to being an energy playground for the client to imaginatively explore.

There is no right or wrong reason to seek out energy work. Sometimes a particular motivation show’s up in a client’s life that leads them to contact me. Some examples are:

spiritual seeking

body pain

stress

energy work training

life questions

illness/disease

In-Person Sessions

In-person sessions are conducted out of my home in Los Angeles. The physical setup of the session typically looks like this:


During the session, I move around to different parts of the body and the space around the body. Special care is taken to ensure the client’s comfort, both physical and emotional, throughout the session.

Remote Sessions

I work with clients all over the United States and around the world. Remote sessions are conducted via phone or Skype. Many of my energy work tools work just as well remotely as in person. I am also skilled at using bilocation* to connect to my clients wherever they are, which facilitates a semi-physical presence.

Rates & Scheduling

I charge $50 per 1-hour session or $225 for a 5-pack. Some clients have sessions once or twice per week and others have them once every three months. I will work with whatever is right for you. I am available for sessions Monday-Friday 10am-5pm Pacific Time and some evenings and weekends upon request.

I am open to barter or special discounts for those who request it. If you are sincere in your endeavors I will do whatever I can to assist you.

If you would like to schedule a session or find out more about what I do, please call 971-217-6642 or email david@resnickenergy.com. All potential clients receive a free 15-minute consultation in-person or by phone/Skype. Consultations and sessions are 100% strictly confidential.

Testimonials

| first-hand experience

“I’ve had at least 30 sessions with Dave as an an “energy work” facilitator over the past five-six years and can only offer a sincere and deep recommendation of his abilities and manner as a person. He has helped me to both become aware of many emotional quantities within me – highly condensed quantities of emotional energy – as well as to move and liberate what has previously been restricted and transform it into living, breathing fuel for my life and its growth. His strict discipline as a facilitator, and keen connection into what my “higher” Self really wants to do and can do, during any given session, serve to maintain his involvement on a pure and amazingly effective level. I trust him fully to do his part in the work that happens.”

–Eric Jakobs, Businessman


“When Dave works on me, I feel cared for and lifted into divine love with infinite tenderness. His touch is gentle but firm enough to transmit a feeling of ability and sureness. His channeled guidance and chanting resonated in my knowing and felt familiar. The total effect of his energy work was to bring me into the field of peace and a feeling of healing in which I could relax into my own strength and the healing frequencies of those higher energies available to me. I am truly grateful for his kindness, clarity, and skill.”

–Leiah Bowden, Soul Activation Guide/Intuitive Artist, www.energyportraits.com, Schenectady, NY


“At first, I was skeptical that remote sessions over Skype could work as well as in-person sessions. However, our first Skype session (with me in India and Dave in NY) proved me wrong. Dave has an amazing gift. I’ve been to other energy healers, but Dave is extremely intuitive and gets straight to the issue. What may have taken multiple sessions with someone else takes only one session with Dave. As soon as I feel out of balance, I schedule a session with Dave and see improvement immediately.”

–Tricia, Global Health Consultant, India


“Dave moved to LA from NYC shortly after I did, so he was there to guide me through a challenging emotional and spiritual transition in my life. What happens in a session is wonderfully intangible and inexplicable, but what I can always rely on is leaving with a comforting sense of well-being and gratitude. I feel focused, re-set and re-charged after every single visit.”

–Lisa Liu, Violinist, Los Angeles, www.lisaliumusic.com


“For the longest time I felt like I lost my intuitive sense, a deeper connection with my inner being. Living in an age of information overload and being told what you should be and how you should think, it is easy to lose the sense of self. My 7 years of psychotherapy was only able to reach certain issues that I could consciously discuss. I needed to go deeper, I needed to connect with me on a level that I could not tap into. Then I found Dave. Over the six years I worked with Dave I gained insights that allowed me to connect with my inner being on levels that I did not think were possible. I have a better understanding of my total self and its relationship to the outside world.”

–Andi, Fashion Industry


“Energy work is one of the modalities that I have used in my life to have greater levels of consciousness, awareness, and knowledge. It is based on the principles of faith, trust, allowing, and surrender. As a result of my work with Dave Resnick I have achieved a deeper connection to others, my environment, and myself.”

–George, Psychotherapist, New York City

About Me

| biographical info

photo by Yocheved Amrami

I have been a professional energy worker since 2006 when I began my practice in New York City. I started out working on friends and word soon spread to their friends, family, and co-workers that what I was doing was effective. It gives me tremendous joy to be in service to others and to utilize and grow my energy working abilities through client work.

I pursue a broad spectrum of interests in life ranging from startup businesses in online education to multimedia performance art, but my energy work practice remains a mainstay in my daily life. It is the most direct way to share and experience the stuff we’re really made of. And for me, energy work permeates everything I do, always giving me insight into how I can turn tension into flow, stagnation into growth, and the unknown into discovery.

Technology & Energy Work

I moved to Southern California in 2009 when I entered the Arts Computation Engineering masters program at UC Irvine. I wanted to build a machine to assist me in my energy work by making the experience of subtle energies* more tangible for clients who were new to energy work. I conducted my thesis research on haptics* control, immersive art and media systems, Traditional Chinese Medicine*, and philosophy of mind/body interaction.

presenting Pulse at the e-Health Collaboratory

I was able to bring these areas together in a project called Pulse that I presented at the Calit2 e-Health Collaboratory. The system combined robotic acupressure*, psychoacoustically* tuned music, biofeedback* entrainment, and energy work to bring the participant into a flow-state*. I soon hope to make this system available to my energy work clients.

How I Got Started

I began to show signs of having a facility with healing when I was 10 years old. You could put my hands on someone’s injury and I knew intuitively what to do to make it better, and did so several times with adults. Then at age 13 I decided, after seeing someone meditate, that I wanted to meditate too.  So, not knowing what I was doing, I sat in a big recliner, touched my thumb to my pinky, and chanted Om.

What followed was a shocking surprise–I floated up toward the ceiling and had an out-of-body experience. It seriously freaked me out and I never did anything else in that vein until I was 19 and discovered by “accident” that I could project energy out of my hands. That discovery led me on a path to where I am today. That path included studying Chinese martial arts (shaolin kungfu, five-element qigong, tai qi chuan, and bagua), Taoist healing, neurolinguistic programming, Reiki, psychoanalysis, and years of rigorous study with a mentor.

Beyond Energy Work

In addition to being an energy worker, I am a partner in Evolving Media Network, consulting businesses on marketing, web development, social engagement, and user experience. I’m also the co-founder of Stutter Social, an online stuttering support group (I stutter too) who meets through group video chats.

My high-tech and artistic work can be found at my other website davidresnick.me. Of particular note:

  • I was interviewed in the Mercury News for my work using group video chats afors an online support group.
  • My first-year project at UC Irvine, Undulating Flux, was featured in Gizmodo and presented at the UCLA Gamelab.
  • I performed live visuals with Love Intelligence Group at the Whitney Museum and produced video for Enrique Iglesias.
  • I composed music for two seasons of MTV Road Rules.

Glossary

| definition of terms

Acupressure is a bodywork technique that uses the application of pressure on pressure points, which encourages the flow of energy to the related physiological systems and internal organs to promote self healing.

Bilocation is the process of creating a duplicate body made of light that can be sent anywhere in time or space. The bilocator can then consciously act and sense through the light body. Bilocation occurs with complete sober presence, unlike its predecessor, astral projection.

Biofeedback is the use of electronic monitoring of an automatic bodily function to train someone to acquire voluntary control of that function.

Chakras are focal points within and around the body for the reception and transmission of subtle energies. Each of the major chakras, of which there are seven, is associated with a gland and major nerve plexus and governs the area of the physical body in which it is found. Each chakra has its own general function and is associated with certain colors and tones.

Energy Channeling is the flow of intelligent energy from subtle dimensions to this one. That energy can be used for healing, communication, or other purposes. That energy may come from a variety of sources, including the channeler’s higher self, the channelee’s higher self, or a non-descript part of the channelee’s biofield.

Flow-State is a state wherein “action follows upon action according to an internal logic that seems to need no conscious intervention by the actor. [One] experiences it as a unified flowing from one moment to the next, in which [one] is in control of actions, and in which there is little distinction between self and environment, between stimulus and response…” –Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi

Haptics is a tactile feedback technology that takes advantage of the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user.

Higher Self is the entirety of a person’s being comprising all aspects of who they are.

Internal Organ Cleansing is the process of clearing away tense energies from the internal organs (liver, spleen, etc.) This process allows for higher physical body function and can also trigger emotional release since emotional tension and physical tension go hand-in-hand.

Meridians are the energy pathways that connect chakras, internal organs, and pressure points.

Pressure Points are points on the surface of the body that can be pressed in order to relieve tension and stimulate energy flow.

Psychoacoustics is the study of the relation between physical stimuli (sounds) and the sensations produced in the listener.

Qi is the circulating life force whose existence and properties are the basis of much Chinese philosophy and medicine.

Sound Toning is the method of producing sound using the voice or a musical instrument in order to effect a particular area of the body or energy field. The tones can be projected directly at a tense area of the body or at the entire body at once. Music is known to have profound effects on the mind and body and sound toning is a focused form of music.

Subtle Energies are non-physical forces that permeate the body, environment, and everything in between. It is possible, with training, to learn how to experience subtle energies through the traditional senses.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is the current name for the ancient system of medicine originating more than 2,000 years ago in China. It encompasses acupuncture, herbal remedies, exercises, and massage.

Transmutation is the process or act of change, especially from one thing to another, as in the change from base metal to gold as it was pursued by the alchemists. A transmutation is like a total and complete transformation, such that nothing of the previous state continues to exist in the new state.

Unconditional Love is an energy of total openness and presence in the moment. There is no charge, good or bad, to unconditional love and it feels like “nothing”. Embodying or transmitting unconditional love requires a state of neutral non-judgement.
