What is Energy Work
Energy healing/energy balancing is a holistic approach to wellness that operates on the premise that energy flows through every living being and that imbalances or blockages in this energy can lead to physical, emotional, or spiritual ailments. Energy healers work to restore balance and harmony within this energy system to support the body's innate ability to heal. This concept is rooted in various ancient healing traditions, including Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and Reiki, but has evolved into various modern forms such as Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch, acupuncture, EFT tapping and qigong to name a few.
One of the fundamental principles of energy balancing is that everything is made up of energy. Slow moving energy appears solid, like a tree or a person and fast moving energy is not even visible to most, like auras or thoughts. Disruptions or imbalances in the body's energy field can show up as illness or discomfort. Energy healers use various techniques to detect and adjust this energy, often using their hands to channel energy and remove blockages. Some may also use tools such as crystals, sound vibrations, or visualization techniques to facilitate the healing process.
While energy healing/balancing is not widely accepted in mainstream medicine, many people report positive experiences and benefits from these practices. Some studies have shown promising results, particularly in the reduction of pain, anxiety, and stress. It is my belief that if you are calm and relaxed, you have more energy available for your body to heal itself. The mechanisms through which energy healing works are not fully understood and remain a subject of debate among scientists and skeptics. But to put this into perspective, I have no concept of how my cell phone or the internet actually works, but it doesn't stop me from using them.
Energy healing/balancing aims to support conventional medical treatments rather than replace them. You still need to see you primary care provider. You still need to take your prescribed medications and supplements. However, energy healing balancing can help your body function better and support your healing process.
It is often used in conjunction with other holistic approaches to health and wellness, such as meditation, yoga, and dietary changes.
