What is energy healing?
Energy healing is a broad term given to a diverse group of healing modalities which use some form of energy to heal without the use of traditional medicine. The practitioner usually goes into a meditative state which expands their consciousness or awareness. They may employ energy, light, colors, aromas, crystals or sound which bring about a change in the person’s body, mind, and spirit. The techniques are many but the intent is to bring the recipient to a state where they can self-heal.
How does it work?
Some therapies like Reiki can be administered without touching the recipient. They can also be done remotely which means the practitioner and recipient need not be in the same room, state or country.
Like Reiki, there are various techniques that use “lying on of hands”. The practitioner places his/her hands on or near the recipient’s body and channels energy through their own body to send to the recipient. The recipient may feel sensations such as a surge of energy, tingling, vibration, heat, or cold.
How can energy healing help me?
Energy healing can help on many levels. We are comprised of several bodies which are not normally seen by the naked eye. Beginning with the outermost layer, there is the Spiritual body, Mental, Emotional, Etheric, and lastly the Physical. It is believed that dis-ease originates in the Spiritual Body. It is when it permeates all the outer bodies that it can then manifest in the physical body. So not only can energy healing assist with a physical healing, but it can also help address issues in the other bodies and in multiple directions of time.
How can I prepare for an energy healing session?
The best way to prepare for an energy healing session is to keep an open mind and heart. Being willing to work on your issues and being committed to making the necessary changes is vital in your success.
Should I stop taking my medicine while receiving energy healing?
It is not recommended that you cease any medical or psychological treatment while receiving energy healing. Energy healing is a wonderful compliment to traditional Western medicine and can be used in conjunction. Energy healing has been known to augment the healing properties of traditional medicine.
Does my religious preference affect my healing?
Your religious denomination does not affect whether or not the healing takes place. However, keeping an open mind and faith have been known to facilitate and accelerate the healing process.
How long does the healing process take?
Healing depends entirely on the individual. The role of the practitioner is to help the recipient reach a state where they can ultimately self-heal. Even a doctor cannot guarantee results or a cure. But what energy healing can do it put the recipient in a healthier state of mind which can help bring about a change in the physical environment. A willingness to part-take in one’s own healing is a must!
