In this article, we will explore the basics of energy healing, its various techniques and how they can contribute to living a harmonious life. In doing so, we will also encounter the problem that the term ‘energy’ can be interpreted in a broad and misleading way. When looking for a teacher or learning techniques, we should always look first to see if there is a tradition being followed, if there are reviews and check our own expectations as to why we are looking for this topic. I go into more detail in this article on general healing.
Foundations of healing with energy
The human body is permeated by an invisible energy known as life force, prana or chi. When this energy can flow freely, we are in an optimal state of health. However, blockages or imbalances in this energy flow can lead to various physical and emotional ailments. The aim of energetic healing is to dissolve these blockages and restore the flow of Prana.
Different techniques and methods
There are different approaches to healing, each of which has its own unique method and philosophy. Reiki, for example, focuses on the transfer of healing energy through the laying on of hands, while acupuncture focuses on the placement of needles at specific nadi points. Other methods such as mantra chanting, meditation, chakra work and crystals create vibrations to restore balance. In this sense, energy healing is about maintaining the natural balance and not manipulatively creating a new state in the body’s energy field. Meditation is therefore one of the most powerful energy healings you can do yourself. Breath, heartbeat and brain activity are slowed down and the energy field can calibrate itself naturally.
Effects of healing with energy
The energy body is connected to our physical body and our spiritual nature. Physical complaints such as pain and tension can be alleviated. Emotional balance and more energy can be achieved. We should always respect that energy in the universe is an intelligent being. This so called Prana or Kundalini will flow intelligently to where it is needed to maintain healing and balance. Even if we manipulate energy and move it in one direction, like in a distance healing, it does not always mean that we will get the result we are hoping for. Therefore, while energetic work is an effective form of healing, it is not very accurate as it is ultimately up to the energy what will happen.
Conclusion on energy healing
Energy is a generic term for e.g. prana, kundalini or Chi. Every approach to work with this terms can be understood here as energy healing, when we use these methods, this is done through intention and concentration. Intention plays an important role in checking our own ego and understanding that energy in the universe strives for balance. This energy gives us the opportunity to implement something ourselves. If we are looking for an energy healing ourselves, there are many offers nowadays. If you are interested in an spiritual healing at a distance, that involves energy healing, please contact me.
