In this article, we'll explore how energy healing can help you reach your goals and find balance in life.
What is Energy Healing?
Simply put, Energy Healing is an alternative therapy that aims to promote balance and well-being in the body’s energy field. Science shows us that everything is made up of energy - even you. One such energy is life energy, known as Qi (pronounced chee) in Chinese Healing and as Prana in Sanskrit. Our energy is subtle and mingles with everything we come in contact with. Think of it as the ocean, mixing and mingling with many different things and so when we encounter something that may cause a wave, just like that wave, the imbalance in our energy can lead to physical, emotional, and mental health problems.

How Does Energy Healing Work?
The human body is made up of energy, which flows through the body mainly in pathways called meridians and around the body in the bio-field or aura. Your body is orchestrated by energies that are designed to have your mind and body function at their best. But over the course of one’s life – whether due to the environment, emotional challenges, or simply the stresses of everyday life, that energy can become stagnant, blocked, or out of harmony. While our energies are remarkably resilient, after enough time, these blocks and disharmonies may manifests as illness, fatigue, depression, allergies, or other difficulties. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, when this energy is blocked or out of balance, it can lead to dis-ease. Energy healing is a holistic approach that seeks to remove blockages and re-balance the flow of energy in the body to promote healing.
But just like brushing your teeth, it’s not a one and done fix all. Working with energy is a constant process because as one issue is cleared up, it may make way for something else to come in.
The Different Types Of Energy Healing
There are many different types of energy healing, each with its own unique benefits including Reiki, EEM, Acupuncture, Bio-Energy and Qigong. Energy healers use their hands either directly on the body or in the energy field to either remove blockages, or to act as a magnet and pull the flow of energy through the body or to channel healing energy into the client's body. The goal is to help the client clear any blockages and restore balance.
Probably the most popular type of energy healing is Reiki, which is said to promote balance and harmony within the body. Many use it to help relieve stress and anxiety, but the as with any energy work, the physical body can be affected positively by the movement of energy.
Bio-Energy Healing also uses hand movement to remove energetic blockages in the chakras in order to get the vertical flow of energy moving in the body. Bio-Energy is not limited to treating specific conditions because the focus is on the cause of the illness (blocked energy) however many illnesses have responded favourably to treatment including: back pain, headaches, migraine, arthritis, asthma, allergies, eczema, stress, irritable bowl syndrome, chronic fatigue, menstrual dysfunction, impotence, depression, infertility, digestive problems, ulcers, cysts, insomnia, emotional problems, diabetes, epilepsy and addictions.
Another popular type of energy healing is Acupuncture. This ancient Chinese practice is said to help improve overall health but can also target areas needing specific work Using the energy meridian pathways, Acupuncture is often used to treat pain, fatigue, among other health and emotional conditions.
Eden Energy Medicine (EEM) is another type of energy healing that is tailored to the client, using energy tests to work with 9 energy systems and to discover which meridians are over or under energized, and bringing those systems back into balance. EEM can be used to help relieve stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as physical ailments.
Exploring Your Personal Blockages and Limitations
Another beautiful way that Energy Healing can help a person is to release the personal blockages and limitations that can prevent us from achieving our full potential in life. Sometimes we have patterns that have been placed in your energetic system from origins we may have long forgotten about or don’t even know where they came from. By removing the energetic blockage, you may find that an inner strength that had been missing has suddenly come alive.
What can I expect to experience during treatment?
Receiving energy healing may have you feeling heat or cold, tingling sensations, swaying or movement of the body. After a session some people immediately begin to feel great changes in their health almost immediately, others become more aware of their illness for a few days as their body starts to release stagnant energy. Some may notice very little happening initially but find over the weeks following their session, their pain may have disappeared.
Simple Techniques To try on your own
There are many energy healing techniques that can help you to open up to a new way of being.
FOCUS ON THE BREATH - One technique that can help get you back into a state of calm is to focus on the breath. The immediate power of focusing on the breath always brings us back to the present. For anxiety relief - try holding your palm to your forehead, breath in for a count of 4, hold for a count of 4 and breath out for a count of 8. Repeat several times.
Another technique to try when you are just feeling out of sorts, off balance, or confused - grab a spoon!
SPOONING your feet with a stainless steel spoon will help match the polarities of your body with the polarities of the Earth. This also helps to ground your energies which will help you sleep better! Grab a stainless steel spoon -- if in doubt, test it by seeing if it will stick to a magnet. Place the spoon on the bottom of each of your feet and gently massage each foot with gentle sweeping and figure-8 patterns. Do this for 10-15 seconds on each foot. Breathe deeply while doing this and repeat as often as you feel it is necessary.
What role does the client play in the healing process?
The Practitioner does not make the energy flow through a client. Much like a river, the energy flows by itself. The job of the Energy Healing practitioner is to assist the energy to flow more freely through the body. The value the client brings is the belief that energy healing works.
If you're interested in trying energy healing, it's important to find a practitioner who you feel comfortable with. Energy healing is generally considered very safe, but as with any type of treatment, there are potential risks involved. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your practitioner before beginning treatment.
Simply put, energy healing is a powerful tool that can help you to find clarity, purpose, and success in life. By using these techniques, you can open up to a new way of being and begin living the life you were meant to live.
Energy healing is not a replacement for traditional medical care, but it can be a complementary treatment option.
