Energy Healing


 

Energy Healing is a broad term that refers to many different types of alternative medicines. These are connected in the sense that they involve working with the energy field of the body and helping to balance it. There are many different branches of this medicine, including color therapy, crystal therapy, Reiki, and even acupuncture. Although they all claim to act upon the energy field of the body in different ways, many of them have slightly similar claims that rely on the use of chakras, meridians, and pressure points or energy points. Many of these therapies have not been proven or disproven by science, and studies tend to be inconclusive. However, those who do undergo these treatments generally give positive views and will testify to the positive effects the treatments have had on their emotional and physical health.

Probably the most common branch of energy healing is acupressure and acupuncture. These rely on finding certain points on certain meridians and then, depending on which treatment method is being used, either applying a slight pressure or creating a small puncture at that point. This can help remove blockages in the energy field at that point and allow the body to obtain a more balanced state, which can help reduce symptoms ranging from tiredness to back pain to nausea.

Color therapy, or chromotherapy, is a treatment option where colors are used on certain points and meridians to influence the energy field. Specific colors are believed to have their own energy qualities, which interact with the body’s energy field in unique ways to generate positive results, emotionally and physically.

Crystal therapy involves the use of rare gems and crystals to have effects on the body’s overall energy field. These are used primarily for emotional strength and healing, but are also used for physical healing as well. The patient will carry the gem around with them for several days and allow it to affect their aura.

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy therapy that involves looking, blowing, and light taps on various points on the body. In this form of treatment, the healing energy is transferred from the practitioner to the patient in several ways. The physical, mental, emotional, and energetic levels are all interacting here to give an increase in overall well being.

It is common for energy healing practices to involve a spiritual nature as well. While in some cases these may be connected to a certain religion, in most cases they are applied to general spirituality and can be used by anyone, no matter what their religious heritage. Many of these techniques have spiritual healing aspects as well as emotional and physical. This is why these methods are often termed holistic – they address all three major parts of the human existence.

Because there are so many different types of energy healing, chances are you will be able to find at least some of them in your hometown. Give some of these methods a try. Some of them may not work for you, but all you need to do is to find the one energy healing method that truly brings you recovery.
