How does Energy Therapy differ from traditional therapy?
Generally in “talk” therapy there is a lot of going over the same issues, which can take lots of time and many sessions. When working with energy, you don’t have to relive every detail of a past trauma in order to release it from your system. Your inner wisdom already knows all the details; we just need to find the emotion(s) held with that memory. Through certain techniques, those emotions (anger, fear, betrayal, etc.) are released from the body AND the energy field. This doesn’t erase the memory of the incident, but releases the emotional potency of it, so it is no longer a barrier in your life. Energy Therapy gets to the root of the problem on an energetic and emotional level effectively and efficiently.
How long is a private session?
Most sessions are 50 minutes.
Do I lie on a massage table?
No. In person sessions are done where the client and the practitioner sit in chairs that face each other. For long distance phone or skype work, you can be anywhere you are comfortable.
Is an Energy Therapy session like a psychic reading?
No! Please do not come to a Energy appointment expecting to get specific answers to future events in your life. Healing is about clearing blocks, traumas, phobias, anything holding you back from who you can become. Once the negative self-talk is gone, you will experience more peace and clarity. Then you are more focused and trusting of yourself to make YOUR OWN decisions for your journey through life.
A SimplyAlign™ Practitioner has learned skills that help to pick up information from the energy field. However, this information is used to zero in on where and what the blocks are that need to be released. We truly believe it is in clients’ best interests to get connected with their own intuitive wisdom and then trust that wisdom to bring them the answers for their own life.
Do I have to believe in this for it to work on me?
No, you can keep your skepticism and it will still work! Your body’s intuitive wisdom will process and benefit from what it knows is for your highest good, whether or not your conscious mind thinks it’s “a little out there.” And remember, your higher self will automatically “veto” anything that it deems is not in your best interest. The integrity of the SimplyAlign™ method never allows anything to be integrated without first checking if it’s in your best interest. Of course, you can consciously block any of it from being accepted, if you are happy and comfortable living in a lower vibration.
Can you please explain the difference between SimplyAlign™ and reiki and pranic healing?
I am familiar with pranic healing and reiki, but probably not as informed as needed to describe the differences in detail for you, but I will do my best..
I believe pranic healing works mainly with the aura to balance it, which in turn balances the body.
In reiki the practitioner serves as a conduit through which Universal energy can be transmitted through his/her palms to the one being worked on.
The difference with SA is, we muscle test (usually on self) to see which energy systems in the body need some balancing. Yes, we include the Aura, like pranic healing, but also include ALL 7 energy systems: Aura, Meridians, Chakras, and 4 lesser known ones.
Also in SA I see myself (any practitioner) as the “cleaning lady”. We are not a conduit as in reiki. All I’m doing is cleaning up (releasing) the lower vibrations, which unblocks energy, and the body can align and heal from there, once the energy is clear. This works on emotional, mental, spiritual, & physical levels.
A little more info on SA:
SimplyAlign™ is thorough at getting to the root of an issue quickly without a lot of drama. We also clear lots of generational issues that have been inherited through the DNA, which can be life-changing for people.
I find the energy is so wise, that much of what I clear can be unspoken – like pulling up a weed (verbally), but end up clearing much more b/c if the wisdom of the client’s spirit has more to clear about a topic that we didn’t talk about, it will automatically release that too – like a weed with a huge root attached to it.
It is safe, quick, and graceful. We always follow where the energy leads b/c each person’s energy has a highest priority of importance, so it’s best to listen, feel, and follow rather than go by a structured protocol. And that encourages the practitioner to use their own gifts of intuition (whether they come to class knowing they have any or not – I believe everyone is gifted!)
SimplyAlign™ can be done in person, most practitioner’s clients are over phone or skype. And distance/proxy work can also be done very easily. It can also be done very discreetly in public if needed.
I have several yoga instructors and massage therapists, foot zoners, cranial sacral workers, etc that use it in their practices, and they love the ease of being able to simply release blockages for their clients as they come up in a class or session.
Also, not only does SA release, it can also affirm new patterns and positive ways of thinking, setting the foundation for future success.
Can these techniques be used on animals?
Absolutely! Animals are very easy to work on, because they are so open. Many practitioners have worked with horses, dogs, cats, etc.
How young of a child can these techniques be used on?
Because the SimplyAlign™ Method is so gentle, and can do no harm, there is no age limit.
“I have often worked on babies still in the womb, which I love because their energy is so sweet. For example, one baby I worked on (two weeks before his birth) was breech. Generally speaking, breech babies have some kind of fear and they want to stay up near Mama’s heart. By talking to his spirit, and doing the integration proxy on his mom, he let go of that fear and within minutes turned to where he needed to be.
“I work on children a lot. When I see frustrated parents of out-of-control toddlers on TV talk shows, I just want to go to their homes and work on those little ones! Once they get that anger and whatever other emotions they are carrying released, they become who they REALLY are: happy and teachable.”
Parents, if there is disharmony in your home, but you think it doesn’t affect the kids, think again! Vibrationally, they ARE picking it up. Also, children being born at this point in time are the “chain-breaking generation.” They are carrying a lot of tendencies from the family line in their genes. For the child’s highest good, any negative generational issues need to be cleared.
What is meant by “clearing generational issues”?
Just as we are recipients of our ancestors’ physical DNA, we also carry their emotional DNA. Many times we are upset by something and think to ourselves, “Why does that trigger me so much?” Well, good news! Sometimes it’s not even our issue! If we have an ancestor who went through trauma, or had a particular negative belief pattern and we inherited that emotional tendency, then when we are presented with certain life situations it seems to be magnified for us.
For example, ever since Carolyn could remember, she had a huge fear of taxidermy animal heads. (A strange phobia, we know). She could not go into a room with a head mounted on the wall. Once she was introduced to generational healing, she knew it was something she was carrying from an ancestor. Actually, in her case, it was two separate ancestors. It was a simple procedure to clear those from her field, and now she no longer has any problems with that.
In fact, one summer she went to a family reunion at a lodge, and her mom could not believe she was spending time with her cousins in the “deer head room”! She recently found out that another one of her cousins also had that very same intense fear. Then, without knowing that Carolyn had energetically cleared it, she told her, “One day I walked into a place with deer heads, and noticed that I wasn’t afraid, and in fact, I felt totally at ease in there.”
That is because when doing generational work, it clears anyone in the lineage who carries that same issue. So by clearing generational issues, you are also helping many relatives you are not even aware of. Generational issues are very common in this work. They can be attached to a variety of different issues. Common issues that always seem to be carried in the family lines are depression, addictions, abuse, and negative financial beliefs. Research is now being done on ancestral clearing work. It is scientifically known as BIOGENETIC DECODING.
How is this Healing Work done long-distance?
Because energy is not limited by time or distance, the work is just as powerful whether I’m working with someone one on one or speaking over the telephone. When doing phone sessions, a practitioner will simply muscle-test on them self to get the feedback from the your energy. Likewise with integrating for the client.
How soon will I notice results?
The energy shifts immediately with the integration, like a light switching on in a dark room. Most people report that they feel much “lighter” after the session. That is because they literally are!
Emotions such as depression, anger, guilt, etc. have a very low vibration. Once released, the void where those emotions were formerly held is automatically filled with light, truth, love, forgiveness and joy—which are all very high vibrationally. With some issues, you will immediately notice they are no longer there because you are not worried about them anymore. That worry is replaced by peace. With other issues, although the energetic changes are in place, you may not be in a situation where you recognize the change right away.
For example, if someone has a session to increase their self-confidence in a particular situation, and then they are not in that situation again until a month later, they probably won’t notice the change until that next month when that situation arises. But in the meantime, they usually enjoy greater confidence in other areas of their life as well. So, in many cases, the fact that you are no longer bothered by certain things makes it easy to simply forget that you previously had a problem with it.
Can Energy Therapy help me lose weight?
Yes! Many people put on weight as a protection. When you clear your fears and/or past traumas that contributed to the weight gain in the first place, the need for the extra weight is no longer there. Pay attention to your self-talk: “I can’t seem to drop weight,” “I am so fat,” “I’m not good enough,” “I don’t have time to exercise,” etc.
Whether true or not, we allow these beliefs into our subconscious mind, then our behaviors align themselves with our beliefs, even if we are not consciously aware of it. That is why so many people gain the weight back each time they lose it—although their body has changed, they still have those unworthy beliefs lodged deep in their subconscious mind. By working with your body’s energy system, we can reprogram those negative inner statements to positive ones such as, “It is safe for me to be thin,” “I am worthy of success,” “I love my healthy body,” “I am fit and strong,” “I find joy in taking time for exercise,” etc. Now, with your behaviors lining up with those positive thoughts, of course your body will drop the excess pounds!
I had a routine surgery several months ago. Since then, I just can‘t seem to get my energy level back up to par. I’m tired of being tired! Can Healing help me with this?
Energy can easily be disconnected during surgery. Whether the procedure is elective or not, it is still a “trauma” to the body. Energy Healing can reconnect things energetically, as well as release the trauma of the surgery from your system. It can restore energies that have become weak, disturbed or out of balance. This alone can make a big difference in your level of energy. Also, it is wise to release the trauma from previous accidents, etc. The anger is usually held in the area(s) of the body that was injured at the time and where you are still having pain. If there is anger lodged in any area, it blocks the healing energy from flowing freely in that space.
I don‘t have any specific issues to clear; I’m just feeling a bit off balance, and out of sorts. How could a session help me?
Everyone’s session fits what they need. Some clients come with a list of things they are struggling with, from health, to relationships, to money and are already aware of the blocks they want to have released. Others just feel a bit “off,” or perhaps run down and want to get to the emotional root of the problem, but haven’t been able to figure out the source on their own.
There are several methods used to find blocks so they can be released and get the energy flowing freely again. At the beginning of a session, your energy is tested to determine the highest priority to begin with for that session. (Sometimes it’s not what your conscious mind thinks). For example, to find where your energy wants to begin, your practitioner will test your connections, chakras, aura, meridians, something you (the client) has to say, etc. Sometimes it is simply to let you speak your truth and the session just flows on from there. So whether you come prepared with a list, or just want an energy tune-up, your energy knows what it is you are in need of and will take the lead.
Will clearing my energy have an effect on my athletic performance?
Of course! When you are “hooked up” energetically, your entire system works better. Communication pathways throughout the body are then clean, clear and vibrant, helping to promote peak performance. In addition, removing from your subconscious mind any lingering doubts about your athletic ability can make a huge difference in your performance.
“Speaking from experience, I know I would not be able to train for and complete triathlons without the help of energy clearing. By using SimplyAlign™ I have been able to help golfers, basketball players, swimmers, football players, runners, dancers, wrestlers, etc.” ~ Carolyn Cooper
I want to learn more about muscle-testing. What do you recommend?
The study of Kinesiology first received scientific attention in the 1960s. Dr. George Goodheart, DC, pioneered the specialty he called Applied Kinesiology after finding that benign physical stimuli—for instance, beneficial nutritional supplements—would increase the strength of certain indicator muscles, whereas hostile stimuli would cause those muscles to suddenly weaken. The implication was that at a level far below conceptual consciousness, the body “knew” and through muscle testing was able to signal what was good and bad for it. In the ‘70s, Dr. John Diamond refined this specialty into a new discipline he called Behavioral Kinesiology. He discovered that indicator muscles would strengthen or weaken in the presence of positive or negative emotional and intellectual stimuli as well as physical stimuli. A smile will make you test strong, while a scowl will make you test weak. In 1975 the well-known psychiatrist and physician David R. Hawkins began research that has taken Dr. Diamond’s work several steps further, through the discovery that muscle testing can reflect a human’s capacity to differentiate not only positive from negative stimuli, but truth from falsity. This phenomenon occurs independently of the test subject’s own opinion or knowledge of the topic, and the response has proven cross-culturally valid in any population and consistent over time.
Two books highly recommend on this subject are:
Your Body Doesn’t Lie by John Diamond, MD
Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD
Also recommended is Learning to Muscle Test DVD that is available on the products page. Carolyn explains more about what muscle testing is, what it can (and shouldn’t) be used for, how to test on another person, and several different ways of testing on yourself. Being able to actually watch how it is done, may be more helpful for you than reading it in a book.
How can I get an appointment with Carolyn?
While Carolyn keeps busy as a speaker and CEO of SimplyAlign, she still does personal phone sessions on a very limited basis. Here’s how it works: Every 4-6 weeks she opens up new time slots, which will be announced in her monthly newsletter, and/or in an additional email to let you know when they are available. These are on a first come, first served basis. Once they are filled, she won’t be opening more spots until another 4-6 weeks down the road.

How can I get started learning more about Energy Healing?
We recommend that you read the information on this website. Sign up for the FREE 3-part Audio Series and start receiving The SimplyAlign™ Newsletter.
You may also want to sign up for the Energy Healing Jumpstart online course. This is a 5 module course, so you can participate from the comfort and convenience of your own home at your own pace. This will give you a great foundation for learning more about energy healing, and is also a pre-requisite to the live 4-day SimplyAlign™ Training Intensive.
What do I have to know before I attend a training?
All you need is an open mind, an open heart and a desire to learn. SimplyAlign™ Trainings were created because healing should be easy. After studying other modalities that have hard-to-remember formulas, Carolyn (the founder of SimplyAlign™) created an easy to use manual that will get you started right away. After all, our inner wisdom already knows how it all works. We also believe that if you are drawn to this work, whether you know it or not, you already possess the gifts you need to be good at it. Don’t let those gifts lie dormant. The world needs you now!
Are there age restrictions on the course?
You must be 21 or older to attend a SimplyAlign™ Intensive Training course.
Can I get a refund if I need it?
Click here to read our refund policy.
Does this cost for live training or events include hotel or travel costs?
No. The fee is for the Intensive Training or event only. You are responsible for travel and hotel costs.
Do you trade or give scholarships or discounts for your training?
No. We believe that when it is for the highest good for a person to be at a training, a way is always provided for them to be able to come – whether it’s through opportunities to earn the necessary funds or through other means. We have learned that, sometimes, financial avenues are part of the “timing” for people. It’s always amazing to hear how things work out for someone to be able to come to the trainings.
If this is for you, then know that you will be inspired to find the path that will help you make it happen. There have been situations where the time was right for someone and what they needed to happen did, sometimes from unexpected places and sometimes in the last minute. There have also been situations where someone had to wait for the next class and it turned out that it was the perfect group for them, or something happened in between the classes that needed to and they were grateful that they had to wait. We don’t know what will happen for you. Possibly now is the time and the way will be provided. Possibly the next class will be better.
