How is Energy healing different from massage?

Energy healing differs from massage in that there is no muscle manipulation. Energy healing does not press, or push into the body. It allows the energy to do the work. Though it is as relaxing as massage, healing with energy enters deeply into the body with energy, not with fingers.  

What kind of energy do we have in our body?

Much the way a light bulb is powered by electricity, so too are our bodies powered by energy. Our bodies contain electricity-like energy as well as a myriad of other more gentle and pervasive forms energy.   

We contain 7 reservoirs of energy, situated from the base of our tailbone to the top of our skull, called “chakras” (meaning “wheel” or “disk”). Chakras are the filter through which the Universal energy comes into the physical body, giving it life and vitality. They correspond to physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual states and radiate outward in a conical shape. 

We also have “rivers of energy”, called nadis and meridians, along which energy flows.

People also have a multi-layered energy field around their body, popularly known as an aura. In the average person, it extends anywhere from 1 inch to 6 feet off the perimeter of the body. In yogis and other highly spiritually developed people, the aura has been known to extend up to 100 ft. off the body! The halos painted around the heads of angels and saints are also part of the aura, or “human energy field” as science is now calling it. The current scientific name for Energy healing is “Biofield healing”. Please refer to the “Human Energy Anatomy” section on this website for more information.

How does Energy healing work?

Many ancient traditions speak to the benefits of the “laying-on” of hands. Many people in modern times also concur with the effectiveness of healing with energy. Modern science is just now beginning to research into the “why”. Though no single definitive answer has yet been found, one thing is for certain, even if all aspects of the “why” are yet to be understood, we don’t need to know “why” to know that it works! 

Studies have been done on the effects of intention, positive feeling, energetic imprinting, mind/body connection, psychic states, meditation, distant healing and more, with each study yielding interesting results. What scientists are now finding is to measure the energy that is used in healing, new tools are needing to be invented because the old ones are not effective in these tests. The tools that can measure light, heat, sound waves, x-rays and the like (which are all forms of energy) are not sufficient to measure the energy transmitted in a healing session, or some of the energy already present within the human body.

How do I know that Energy healing can work for me?

For Energy healing to work, only an open mind is needed. The more open and in line with the process you are, the greater the effects will be. The greater commitment to healing you have, the more avenues will open to you for health to come through. 

Many people who have never experienced the wonders of Energy healing are absolutely amazed at what they feel after the session is completed. “Profound, amazing, peaceful and deep” are just some of the words used to describe peoples experiences. 

Though for modern Western culture Energy healing is at the cutting edge of alternative therapies, it is really an ancient technique employed by millions of people far back into history. Thankfully for modern life, it is making a resurgence!

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments depends on the type and severity of the concern. People heal at different rates and bring different focuses to the treatments, making how many treatments a very individual matter.
