How Does Energy Healing Work?

In energy medicine, energy IS the medicine. It is not a healer that heals the patient, but rather the healer that “facilitates” healing. The higher vibration provided by the energy healer and the patient's body responding with its own innate intelligence are what actually cause healing. The body of the patient intuitively responds to the channeled energy flow from the healer. This stimulates the energy within the patient's body to flow and rebalance where it is needed. The channeling of the higher energy vibration affects the cells, nerves, muscles, tissues, and skeletal structure of the patient's entire body at a quantum level. All of the individual systems and organs within the patient’s body possess their own rate of vibration, effortlessly and intuitively responding to the higher frequency. This is what causes the healing to occur.

Common to all energy healers is the ability to affect the vital energy of their patients. There are many different methods used by energy healers to stimulate and rebalance energy. Some energy practitioners can “sense” energetic congestion (lower/unsteady vibrations) within areas of the body, either by holding their hands on or above the body, viewing the aura, or using specialized techniques. Others simply channel a higher energetic frequency into the body of the patient, knowing the energy will naturally and spontaneously disperse to where it is needed.

We constantly receive sense stimuli from our surroundings, some of which are uplifting, and some of which are depressing. If we make a conscious effort to engage our senses with loving, positive, and natural stimuli, we can assist our bodies in restoring energetic balance.

As we consciously reconnect with our higher selves and ask for guidance, we begin to see limiting beliefs for what they are, and begin to release them. We begin to connect to our inner self, the core of our being, freeing ourselves from energetic imbalance and restoring our energy to that of its naturally high vibration - we then achieve a state of perfect emotional, physical, and psychological health. There are many techniques we can use to uncover and release limiting beliefs.

Learning how to rebalance your own energy is not dependent on any specialized skill set, intellectual capacity, or spiritual development.  Some techniques are easy to learn and can be accomplished by anyone.  Others, however, require education to master principles and methodologies (e.g. techniques which may be governed by licensure and/or local governance such as acupuncture).
