Let’s Talk Energy Healing

Types of Energy Healing

Chakra or energy center, is a term used in Pranic healing, an ancient Hindu system of energy healing. Prana means life energy. Aura is another terminology traced to Pranic healing. Aura is a non-physical body that comprises energy, which exists along with our physical body. The aura that covers our body is said to have seven layers pertaining to the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of an individual as manifested by energy. 

Studying the color and thickness of auras gives ideas on the state of health of individuals. Six colors are associated with aura and are interpreted into six personalities. These colors are all present in an individual, but one or two are more pronounced.

Green: Ambitious achiever

Blue: Spiritual peacemaker

White: Unconventional chameleon

Red: Activist

Orange: Creative communicator

Violet: Psychic

Although Tantra is popularly associated with the practice of sex and spirituality, it is another method of energy healing. It comes from the word tan, which means to spread or expand. The concept of connectedness is a recurring theme in Tantric writings on sex and spirituality. As a method of healing, spirituality and sex figure prominently. It is presupposed that the union of two people can reach spiritual levels during orgasm, which removes the body and mind from collected impurities. These impurities, being negative energies, can, in turn, manifest as physical illnesses.

Unlike Puranic and Tantric healings, which have Hindu origins, Reiki originated from Japan. It is relatively younger than Pranic and Tantric healings having been rediscovered in the early 1900s. Reiki stands for universal energy, an energy brought forth by higher intelligence. Students of Reiki are taught how to tap this energy to heal physical, emotional, and mental illnesses.

Although Pranic, Tantra, and Reiki are all systems of energy healing, they differ in the type of energy tapped for healing: life energy, sexual energy, and universal energy, respectively. The concepts of the connectedness of mind, body, and spirit the connection of individuals to all living and nonliving things around them and to the universe; and how energy impacts physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being are some of the salient similarities of these three healing methods.

Why Do People Turn to Energy Healing?

Pranic, Tantric, and Reiki are alternative methods of healing. Despite the availability and relative accessibility of modern medicine, how come more and more people are being drawn to them? Here are some reasons:

-Energy healing worked where modern medicine failed.

-For several reasons, both explainable and unexplainable, modern medical treatment can fail to heal ailments and conditions in some, if not many, people.

-People perceive modern medicine to be isolating.

-Medical treatments are often focused on the disease and its causative agent, which can make a patient feel isolated and treated like a mere host of the disease. Although recent developments in hospital practice are gradually promoting the holistic treatment of a patient, the perception persists. Unlike in energy healing, since energy and spirituality are intimately linked, the patient feels that all aspects of his health are being attended to.

-Energy healing is non-obtrusive and natural, thus it is safer.

-Repeated surgical procedures are physically and emotionally traumatic for most patients. It is but a logical and attractive option for both patients and families to look for less stressful health interventions. 

-Energy healing is a good way of relieving stress.

-Meditation is part and parcel of energy healing methods and this is an added benefit for highly stressed people. Sophisticated equipment is not required thus it becomes more convenient for students and future students of energy healing.

-Alternative healing and mainstream medicine both present benefits to their approach. And finally, what matters is the restoration of good health.

Opening Your Mind To Energy Healing

Energy healing is something that many people could benefit from, yet so many people dismiss it and think that it is nonsense. They believe they are better off seeking traditional care. While traditional medical attention has its place, there is also a place for natural care. Many people find more relief from natural treatments than they ever find in traditional medicine. So, if you are suffering from an ailment and you find that traditional methods of care simply are not working, why not try something different? Sometimes allowing yourself to open up and try something new is just what you need to change your life.

Are you new to energy healing and wondering exactly what it is all about? It is actually quite simple. Seeking this sort of treatment can be very effective and an obvious choice when you learn what it is all about. Simply put, this type of treatment is based on the belief that there is energy running through the body. Many people are better able to picture this when they compare the human body to an electrical circuit. Just as electricity runs through an electrical circuit, energetic currents run through the body. If there is a blockage, this causes problems in the body and in the electrical circuit. When these blockages or crossed wires occur, many problems can happen. If you just put a band-aid on them, they will continue to get worse.

Energy healing works well because many of the techniques can identify the underlying problems in the body, instead of just treating the symptoms as traditional medication often does. When you can identify the underlying problems, you can create a treatment plan and vigorously attack the problems in a straightforward manner. The result is achieving health and happiness through personalized treatment. What is wonderful about this type of treatment is that most people can learn it easily and apply it to their lives in very little time, meaning a more balanced life in the short term as well as long term.

Energy Blockages And How to Heal Them

Energy Healing literally changed my life. It raised my vibration and raised my consciousness. It gave me the power to leave victim consciousness. It gave me the strength to find my own self-worth, self-confidence, self-esteem and self-respect. It empowered me because it taught me to empower myself! 

So how does energy healing actually do this? We ARE energetic beings and everything IS energy. Scientists have proven this to be true, and this article is not about proving this. To keep this as simplistic as possible, we 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 have an effect on 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 consciousness, thus we experience the exchange of energy as 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. An imbalance of energy or a blocking of the flow of energy causes illness in the system. 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.

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 much 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 inner feelings of love. In order 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 likely result if the energy does not flow smoothly again. 

This same process works for all the chakras. Whenever a person blocks whatever experiences she is having, she 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
• negative self-talk
• toxicity
• nutritional depletion
• 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
• cultural conditioning
• limited belief system
• bad habits
• or even just a lack of attention all contribute 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.

Energy healing is excellent for healing any physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual issues. Long-term practice of whole-body energy healing will restore the general condition of the body. It will open the energy channels and this will allow the body to deal properly and naturally with stress and the build-up of toxins, along with coping with anxiety and depression.

Energy Healing works. It changes you from the inside out. The main thing to remember is that body, mind and soul, together with the energy body, are one indivisible whole. These simple, non-invasive healing practices work with the Higher Self of the receiver (person) to promote health and wellbeing of the entire physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body. When it is combined with the sincere and talented healer, a total healing can occur. A total NEW you will, in time, emerge!
