I remember years ago there was a stigma attached to energy healing. People thought it was ‘woo woo’ and dismissed it. Now, years later, it is wonderful to see that people are beginning to embrace it as a tangible modality to create wholeness and well-being. Hospitals such as the Mayo Clinic, Massachusetts General Hospital/North Shore and the Cleveland Clinic offer services such as Reiki and Healing Touch to enhance the recovery of their patients.
What is Energy Healing?
Energy Healing is a process to remove energy blockages in the body derived from emotional pain, trauma or physical injury.
Science teaches us that all matter, both living and inanimate, are made up of molecules, which are always moving or vibrating. These molecules are able to transport and store energy. Therefore, when the body is not functioning, as it should as in the case of ill health, energy healing can help regulate the flow of energy to restore balance and overall well-being.
Energy Healing Modalities
There is a variety of energy healing modalities, which range from light touch to no touch. Some of which you may have heard about, due to their popularity and may have never realized that they fall under the energy healing pantheon; others which are just as effective yet not as well known.
Some examples of energy healing modalities are: Reiki, Shamanism, Crystal Therapy, Geopathic Stress Remediation, Metaphysical Kinesiology, Acupuncture Touch, Reflexology, Emotional Freedom Technique and Chumpi Healing.
7 Benefits of Energy Healing
There are numerous benefits to energy healing however here are seven of the most important ones.
Stress relief
When you are under immense stress, you place your health both physical and emotional at risk. Stress weakens your immune system, damages the muscles of your heart, causes weight gain and can cause you to age rapidly. Not to mention, the toll it takes on your emotional health.
Reiki is a form of energy healing that is known for easing stress quite dramatically. The word Rei means God’s Wisdom and Ki means life force energy. Created by sensei Mikao Usei, this is a form of light touch, with some techniques requiring no touch at all. It is a safe and natural form of healing that increases the life force energy within the body, which in turn lowers stress and improves your overall well-being.
Complements Western medicine
Energy healing is not a replacement for Western medicine however it complements it as a form of care to expedite the healing process during times of ill health. As mentioned earlier, this is the reason that some hospitals have embraced energy healing modalities.
Emotional Healing
The use of modalities such as Metaphysical Kinesiology can help with healing trauma, increasing confidence and easing anxiety. The reason it works is because the practitioner tunes into the muscles of your body to get to the root cause of the specific issue and so take the necessary steps to resolve it, providing release for the client.
Spiritual awareness and connection
You may be at a point in your life where you may feel lost or yearn for a deeper connection to God, a Higher Power or the Universe.
A modality such as Chumpi Healing is the opportunity to experience entering a sacred space for a healing journey to understanding yourself, the Universe and the very nature of who you are: a spiritual being. Some clients have expressed that after a Chumpi Healing they understand who they really are and their life purpose resulting in them no longer feeling lost or confused.
Others who may have experienced Shamanism have said that they had a deeper connection to nature and greater appreciation for animals or plants. While for some, they have discovered what was needed for them to heal themselves from their emotional pain.
For each person the experience is different and they discover their own truths.
Increases focus, attention and creativity
In today’s world we are often worried about the past or the future and so we are in a constant state of frenzy. By trying to forget the past or create the future we often forget to savor the present. One modality that helps with this is Sound and Vibrational Healing. The playing of instruments such as Tibetan or Crystal Bowls, Gongs, Tuning Forks, among others, results in altering the brain waves, creating ease and harmony in the body. This in turn enables a person to become, in time, more focused, attentive and creative in their day-to-day life.
Improves your personal environment
We have talked about healing by directly focusing on the body, however what about healing that takes place indirectly? Natural elements such as underground water or man-made elements can interrupt the natural frequency of the earth, adversely affecting the energy in the home or in any building. This can then cause sleep disruptions, disease or a host of other issues. Geopathic Stress Remediation uses a variety of techniques to counter those effects by improving a person’s environment to indirectly promote a healthy well being for the individual.
Improves Relationships
Lastly, when you are happy, healthy and whole it can lead you to interact with others in a more positive way. Thereby, improving your relationship with your partner, family, friends, coworkers and even strangers. Use of crystals such as rose quartz can stimulate the heart chakra allowing the flow of self and romantic love.
Try Something New
While you may be wondering if energy healing will work for you, I invite you to consider the possibilities of how your life could be transformed for the better. If you have been suffering in silence due to emotional or physical pain, it is worth giving it a try because as outlined here, there are a myriad of benefits.
