Energy healing is a holistic practice that helps in activating the body’s subtle energy systems to remove blocks. By breaking through these energetic blocks, the body’s inherent ability to heal itself is stimulated.The human body is a complete energy system in tune with the Universe. Any imbalance in the body creates an obstruction in the flow of energy, which results in illness. Energy therapies try to ensure that energies flowing within the body moves unobstructed.The most popular types of energy therapy are music therapy, reiki and therapeutic touch. Energy therapies can help people relax and improve their quality of life.
1. Cultures have studied the body’s energy centres for thousands of years.
Reiki is a Japanese tradition of energy healing and dates back to early 20th century. Chakras that are the seven energy transmission centres of the body, are extensively explained in the ancient Hindu texts. Meridians, the energy superhighways of the body are the roadmaps on which the Chinese practitioners have based acupuncture.
2. Energy healing is based on scientific principles, everything is made up of molecules. Even something as solid as a table is vibrating all the time and as humans, we, too are vibrating.When we say something has good vibes, it’s really about the person’s vibrating energy. Happy people vibrate on a higher frequency.Even places have vibes. When you enter a room in which a terrible fight has taken place, you can feel the dense energy and may want to leave right away. Beaches have a light vibe due to the salt and moving air. The air at the beach also vibrates at a higher frequency.
3. Anyone can benefit from energy healing. You don’t have to be spiritual to benefit from energy healing. It’s recommended to go in with an open mind for maximum benefits and any time is a good time to visit an energy healer.If you are anxious, stressed or physically drained, an energy healing session can help you relax and feel more balanced. And if you are already feeling good, there is always a chance to feel better.
4. Energy healing is always accessible There are many different types of energy healers that you can find almost everywhere. Reiki practitioners can be found all over the world and the best part about Reiki is that it can be given or received even if the practitioner and client are not in the same room. Acupuncture practitioners are also very easily available but the client needs to be physically present for the therapy. The modality stimulates the flow of chi to re-balance the body. Even massage is a type of energy healing practice as it releases the tension in muscles and the flow of lymph and allows for deeper relaxation.
5. You can maintain your energetic health at home Just like eating and brushing your teeth, energy cleansing is also a daily commitment. Once you meet an energy healer, you can keep the good vibes flowing by taking a bath in Epsom or pink Himalayan salts for 20 minutes whenever you feel heavy or stressed. Smudging or burning sage around you also clears your negative aura. High-vibe crystals have their own healing properties.
