What is Energy Healing?
Energy healing is a holistic approach to wellness based around the idea that there is a subtle energy that flows through and around our bodies. This energy influences our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Energy healers work to balance and enhance this energy to promote healing.
When this energy becomes imbalanced or blocked, it can lead to discomfort, pain, or even illness. Energy healers use different techniques, such as laying hands on or near the body, visualization, sound therapy, and even intention to help restore the natural flow of energy and encourage the body's self-healing mechanisms (I am a Medical Intuitive who also moves energy to effect changes).
Many people report feeling relaxation, reduced stress, and improved well-being after energy healing sessions. Energy healing is often used along with conventional medical treatments and/or other alternative modalities.
What does "holistic approach" mean?
A holistic approach addresses physical symptoms, and also emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.
Can Energy Healing provide relief from the symptoms of Fibromyalgia and CFS?
As an Energy Healer, I can remove energetic blockages that may be at the root of all sorts of issues, which encourages and enables the immune system to begin clearing up those issues. Sometimes the results are almost immediate. Many times, it may take a few days for everything to settle in.
People with Fibro and/or CFS have reported pain reduction, stress reduction, better quality of sleep, more emotional balance, improved energy level, and enhanced self-awareness. My goal is to reverse the whole situation, if possible, and people also report that. 🙂
Is Energy Healing a replacement for medical treatment?
Energy healing doesn't interfere with medications, so you can (and should) continue on your meds unless/until your doctors says to stop them.
You should NEVER stop taking medications without consulting your physician, even if you don't like them. Pharmaceuticals are very powerful, and coming off them "cold turkey" can be very dangerous. Talk to your prescribing practitioner, share your desire to reduce or discontinue your prescription, and get their help in weaning yourself from the drugs.
How does Energy Healing work?
Subtle energy fields surround and flow through our bodies, and play a vital role in maintaining overall health and wellbeing. Energy healers work with these energy fields to promote balance, harmony, and healing. The exact mechanisms aren’t fully understood yet, and there is lots of research going on these days, hoping to figure it out. Here is a simplistic explanation of how energy healing is believed to work.
Life force energy (also known as “chi” or “prana”) flows through energetic pathways, called Meridians, and through energy centers called Chakras. When health and vitality is present, the energy flows smoothly; the converse is also true: the energy flows smoothly, and health and vitality is created.
However, when stress, trauma, or emotions aren’t processed appropriately, they can cause blockages, so the energy flow is compromised, and vitality is NOT created. An energy healer acts as a facilitator to help restore the body’s natural energy flow, stimulating the body’s self-healing mechanisms, so that health may return.
Various techniques can be used to do this: laying hands on or near the body, visualization, specific sounds, intention. I utilize intention, because I nearly always work remotely.
