What is an Energy Healing?

A process by which you “recharge your batteries,” energy healing is an alternative medicine practice which has been around for thousands of years. You use the natural energy that exists in your body and the universe for specific health rewards. Not only can improving your energy flow impact your physical health, but it can also lead to metaphysical benefits like improved spirituality and a more complete emotional existence. Energy healing works because you are a natural energy creator. Everything in the universe is energy. Energy is everywhere, and everything in your environment works to either improve or negatively impact your life force energy. We know this to be true because science has proven the process. Quantum physicians can show how any two energy sources automatically have some type of impact on each other.

Energy healing is a holistic practice that activates the body’s subtle energy
systems to remove blocks. By breaking through these energetic blocks, the
body’s inherent ability to heal itself is stimulated.

Energy healing is based on scientific principles.

We all learned in high school physics class that matter is made up of molecules. Even something that is solid, such as a table, is vibrating all the time.

As humans, we too, are vibrating. When you say someone has “good vibes,” you are really talking about that person’s vibrational energy — happy people vibrate on a higher frequency . You can feel their effervescence! Places have vibes too. When you walk into a room in which a fight has just occurred, you may feel a dense energy that makes you want to leave right away. The beach has a light vibe due to the salt (a natural energy cleanser) and moving air. The air at the beach vibrates at a higher frequency as well.

As an energy healer, I’m often met with curiosity, fascination, and a bit of skepticism when I tell people what I do for a living. I’m always happy to explain what energy healing is and how I can help improve areas in other’s lives that need it most. 

You don’t have to be spiritual to benefit from energy
healing.

Just like you don’t need to understand the law of gravity before you can fall down, you don’t need to completely grasp the concept of energy healing before you dive into the practice. I would recommend going in with an open mind for maximum benefit. Any time is a good time to visit an energy healer. If you are stressed, anxious, or physically drained, an energy healing session can help you relax and feel more balanced. And if you’re already feeling good, it’s always possible to feel a little better! It’s important to note that energy healing is a complementary modality that shouldn’t exclude any Western medicine you may be taking.

Energy healing is totally accessible.

There are many different types of energy healers, and you can find them practically everywhere. There are Reiki practitioners all over the world, and the beauty of Reiki healing is that it can be given and received even if the client and practitioner aren’t in the same room. Why? Because the power of intention causes energy to flow to where it’s most needed.

Acupuncture practitioners are also very accessible, though the clients do need to be in the physical presence of the needles. This modality stimulates the flow of chi to rebalance the body. Reflexology is another modality that frees up blocked energy and promotes healing by stimulating the meridians, organs, and systems through points on the feet, hands, and ears. Even massage is an energy healing practice, for it releases tension in the muscles, encourages the flow of lymph, and allows for deep relaxation.

You can maintain your energetic health at home.

Just as you shower and brush your teeth every day, energetic cleansing is also a daily commitment. Once you visit with an energy healer, keep the good vibes flowing by taking a bath in Epsom or pink Himalayan salts for 20 minutes whenever you start to feel the heaviness creeping back into your body. Smudging , or burning sage around you, also clears negativity from your aura.

High-vibe crystals have their own healing properties and can help give your energy field a boost. All you need to begin your energy healing journey is curiosity and a willingness to learn. Who knows? You might just get hooked!
