Healing...
Energy healing refers to the
transfer of energy from a healer or instrument to a
patient, and to the removal of congested energies from the
patient. This kind of healing is also called pranic
healing, magnetic healing or laying-on of hands. While
almost anyone can practice energy healing from a distance,
its frequent use when actually touching the patient should
be restricted to those who feel in good health and with an
abundant supply of energy.
Since everything is energy,
all healing ultimately involves energy. Most energy healing
methods are focused on the physical, mental, emotional and
spiritual levels of life, without recognition of the
energetic underpinnings of the interventions. Energy
healing works purely with the energetic level of our being.
Since everything is made up of patterns of energy, working
directly with energy influences the physical, mental and
emotional, as well as the spiritual level. If there is an
illness or disturbance in the body, mind or emotions, Reiki
can address those levels. Energy healing complements and
supports other methods of healing, because it uses the
energy of which the body, mind and emotions are
composed.
Energy healing is part of the
larger field of Energy Medicine. Use of herbs, crystals or
sound are examples of energy medicine that contain
vibrational patterns that influence the energetic patterns
at work in the body. Energy healing is a unique part of
energy medicine in that it involves the intended use of the
energy field of the healer to affect the energy field of
the recipient. Some energy healers may use crystals or
other tools, but more often it is simply the intent of
healer and recipient that directs the energy
healing.
Just as we have a physical
body, we have also have an energy body. The
humanalternative healing energy field or aura surrounds and
permeates the physical body. The physical body could be
thought of as only one of a number of bodies which we have
in our energy field. There are many descriptions of the
energy field from both ancient and modern sources. Many of
these sources describe the aura as being in layers. They
will also describe the chakras which are "energy centers"
where important exchanges of energy take place. Energy
healing effects change by positively influencing the energy
field.
