What is Energy Healing?

Energy healing is a form of holistic therapy that aims to balance the flow of energy within the body to promote health and wellness in both mind and body.  The purpose of energy medicine is to treat energetic imbalances in order to bring the body's systems back to a state of homeostasis, or 'balance'.  

 

As humans, we radiate a very low level of electricity and this is referred to as our electromagnetic field.  When the natural movement or ‘flow’ of our energy field is disturbed by way of deficiency, obstruction or excessive energy flow, it can create abnormal functioning of the cells and create dis-ease within the physical, mental and emotional bodies.  

​

Whilst energy healing hasn't been completely rooted in science, it is based on scientific principles.  To understood energy healing, it's important to understand the basic concepts of Quantum science...Quite simply, everything in the Universe is made of energy.  Quantum physicists have shown us that atoms are made up of vortices of energy that are constantly spinning and vibrating, with each one radiating its own unique energetic signature.  If you observed the composition of an atom under a microscope, you would see a small, tornado-like vortex with a number of infinitely small energy vortices.  If you focused in much closer on the atom, you would eventually begin to see nothing but a physical void.  This is because the atom is made out of invisible energy, not tangible matter and therefore has no physical structure.  Now here’s the link - 99% of the human body is made up of atoms, so, as physical things don’t have any physical structure, it can be argued that we, as physical beings, also have no physical structure.  This means that everything; including humans, is simply energy stored in mass particle form.  From an energy medicine perspective, since all matter and psychological processes – which are our thoughts, beliefs and emotions are composed of energy, the physical body is therefore one huge energy field.  It is this energy field - your energy field - that we work with. 

 

It is important to state that energy healers are not miracle workers or magicians and we don't have magical powers!  Everyone holds the power and ability to heal themselves but, some of us sometimes forget how to do so and need a little help and this is where we come in.  As energy healers, we can help re-distribute your body's system of subtle energy in order to restore balance by acting as 'conduits' for channeling energy.  It is through the clearing of the energy system that triggers the body's own healing process.  

​

Energy healing encompasses several healing modalities including Reiki, crystal healing, chakra healing, homeopathy and acupuncture.  Whilst energy healing is not typically considered mainstream medicine, many studies have shown that it can be effective for certain conditions.  Energy healing is generally safe and side effects are rare. However, as with any alternative therapy, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before commencing an energy healing session if you are currently dealing with a health condition.  Although energy healing is generally safe and well tolerated, with little side effects, it is also important to make your therapist aware of any health conditions so they may check any contraindications before commencing treatment.
