A Simple Introduction to Energy Healing

Energy healing is a form of complementary and alternative medicine that is based on the belief that vital energy flows through the human body. The goal of energy healing is to balance the energy flow in the patient.

 So how does energy healing work? What causes the energy flow blockages throughout our body? What are some better-known energy healing modalities? Read on to find out more.

We Are Energetic Beings

So how does energy healing work? More people than ever before now realize that we ARE energetic beings, and everything IS energy. We each have an invisible energy-body surrounding our physical body. In this energy body are layers. Each layer has different functions, and each layer is associated with a different chakra and each chakra and layer both influence areas of the physical body. The chakras and acupuncture points are openings for energy to flow into and out of the aura (energy body).

This energy is associated with a form of consciousness; thus, we experience the exchange of energy in the forms of seeing, hearing, feeling, sensing, intuiting or direct knowing. It is important to open the chakras and increase our energy flow, because the more energy we let flow, the healthier we are. Illness in the system is caused by an imbalance of energy or a blocking of the flow of energy. In other words, a lack of flow in the human energy system eventually leads to disease. It also distorts our perceptions and dampens our feelings and therefore interferes with a happy experience of living a joyful life.

What Causes Energy Blockages in the Body?

So, what causes an imbalance or block in the flow of energy? Most people today have been conditioned to react to unpleasant experiences by blocking our feelings and emotions which stops a great deal of our natural energy flow. An example of this, a person is rejected many times when she tries to show her love to another, she eventually stops showing her love by trying to stop the feelings of love. To do this, she will have to stop the energy flow through the heart chakra. When the energy flow is stopped or slowed down, the development of the heart chakra is affected.  Eventually, a physical problem will very likely result if the energy does not start to flow smoothly again.

This same process works for all the chakras. Whenever a person blocks whatever experiences she is having, she in turn blocks her chakras, which blocks the flow of universal life force energy. Disrupted, weakened, blocked or imbalances in the chakras can all be caused from many situations occurring in our lives, such as:

  • emotional or physical trauma
  • injury
  • destructive lifestyle and relationships
  • neglect of self and lack of love for oneself or others
  • from emotions that are not expressed in a healthy way
  • childhood traumas
  • negative self-talk
  • toxicity
  • nutritional depletion
  • cultural conditioning
  • limited belief system
  • or even just a lack of attention all contributes to blockage.

Difficulties abound in life, for each one of us, and we develop a coping strategy. If these difficulties persist, these coping strategies become chronic patterns, anchored in the body and psyche as defense structures. It is important to recognize the blocks we carry, find, and understand their source then heal them.
