How Does It Work?
Energy healing is the art of tuning your own body into healing itself by the activation of positive energy for the enhancement of vitality of the individual. It serves as a complement to the usual medical methods. Satisfying results can be obtained when it is used for treatment of physical ailments as well as mental disorders. Energy psychology is a sub field of energy medicine which promotes high level wellness of patients after the therapy.
Our environment is an energy system which is constantly shifting and moving as said by the laws of elemental physics. Human beings are also part of an open system of energy with a healthy body thriving through a clean, pure and continuous flow of balanced positive energy. When there is imbalance, for example, stress, pollution, with the environment around us a functioning energy system will be releasing this excessive energy out and cleanse the body off immediately. When the energy systems are blocked it keeps absorbing from the surroundings and causes problems.
The body and everything in the universe have subtle energy systems which can be influenced to promote healing by thy own self or by a well-trained practitioner. The body has energy storage points at specific regions, and energy medicine consists of activating the such points to heal the body by activating and restoring the energy reservoirs which are weak, or out of sync due to illness and disease.
Energy needs to move and keep flowing without any restrictions, so when it is blocked by toxins, muscular contractions, stress and sometimes external energy sources it leads to illnesses and pain. Conventional approach to a prevailing illness would be diagnosis and treatment whereas in energy medicine the approach involves doing a thorough check over the individuals body functioning and arriving at the energy systems in the body where the flow of energy has been blocked or disturbed due to illness.
Therapeutic touch, pranic healing, jing-qi-shen, quantum touch, hands-on healing, chakra healing, reiki healing, qi kong are the most popular forms of energy healing practiced around the world. Jing-Qi-Shen is an art of healing which cleanses the auric, etheric, and physical layers of the body through intuitive projection of light. Prana means breath or life-force and hence pranic healing deals with the elements of sun, air, and earth which sustain life and correct the imbalances in the field which are caused by stagnation of etheric matter. Therapeutic Touch is also one of the most popular energy healing techniques which uses the hands to bring about the healing effect.
Treatment for all the above mentioned methods usually involves restoring the flow of energy to the system and is characterized by self-help and self-care. Usually it is done by massaging, pinching, poking and prodding the energy reservoir areas to initiate flow, maintain balance and institute harmony in the energy system. Other methods include tracing or swirling the fingers over the body very slightly and guiding along the right path of energy flow, exercises which are ways of stimulating the triggering the positive healing energy, or filling the area with pure healing energy by the influence of other people rather then by oneself.
