Because Western healing techniques focus almost exclusively on the physical body, it’s easy to forget that healthy human beings are made up of physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual elements. There is a rich tradition among many cultures of pursuing better health by working at the level of energy itself.

Energy healing has a long history in different parts of the world, such as India with Ayurvedic medicine; Japan has Reiki; and China has Qi Gong.  In addition, Native Americans and Peruvian Indians have strong energy healing traditions.

Attempts to measure the effects of energy healing by conventional testing have been unsuccessful so far.  Researchers have attempted to explain the beneficial outcomes produced by different types of energy healing, but are unable to pinpoint the physical phenomena that effect a change.  However, its effect on the person being treated is indisputable.  Excellent results experienced from energy healing has established it as an accepted complementary treatment for a wide range of physical and psychological imbalances.

There are many different types of energy healing, but they are all based on the fundamental principle that everything in the universe is made up of energy. The human body itself is a powerful energy field, absorbing and radiating energy continually.  However, energy can become blocked or misaligned through a psychic disturbance, emotional trauma or health crisis.  When energy doesn’t flow freely, it can disrupt physical, mental and emotional health.  Energy healing is designed to facilitate the transfer of universal life energy through the healer to the patient, encouraging their own energy currents to flow in a more beneficial way and promote faster and more complete healing.

Many energy healers rely on their hands to conduct energy to the patient therapeutically.  An energy healer will have a combination of natural ability and professional training to help them sense and direct energies in themselves and their patients.  Energy healing has been successful in treating a wide range of mental and physical illnesses.  Practices such as Reiki are used to cure sleep disorders, anxiety and depression, to ease muscle tension, to manage pain from cancer and other diseases, and to speed healing times from surgery or other debilitating occurrences.

Everyone can benefit from energy healing.  Non-invasive, soothing and highly effective, it is an ideal complement to other alternative therapies or to conventional medicine.
