Energy medicine, energy work, energy healing… these are all ways to describe working with our energetic state to support greater physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. Energy medicine includes many different practices, from learning to unblock chakras, to sound healing (which is another form of energy) to Kundalini meditation. We are energy and thus have the opportunity to shift our wellness through shifting the flow of energy in our bodies and in our lives. This is what it means to work with energy medicine. Curious to learn more? Here are the energy healing guides we’d recommend.
Energy healing operates on the belief that the body, mind, and spirit are interconnected. By addressing imbalances in the body’s energy fields and internal energetic pathways, we can promote a shift in overall well-being. This means not just physical health, but also greater emotional, mental, and spiritual balance. With the support of a skilled energy practitioner, this comprehensive approach offers a more complete path to healing and wellness.
People turn to energy healing as a way to shift emotional states, reduce anxiety, improve energy, release emotional challenges, and even for ancestral healing. Energy medicine often involves relaxation techniques that can help calm the nervous system, and put the body into a parasympathetic state, while also assessing where energy may be stuck in the body and even why it’s stuck. Some practitioners teach their clients how to feel and shift their own energy. Practices like shamanic journeys and visualizations can be powerful.
Energy healing techniques such as Reiki, acupuncture, and chakra balancing are all completely natural and non-invasive- no pharmaceuticals here. One of the most profound benefits of energy medicine is that these practices help people get in touch with their own intuition and become empowered to become the driver of their own energetic shifts.
Energy Healing can be classified into 3 different types.
Hands-on Healing includes acupuncture and bodywork to support the flow of energy, and balance of energetic states.
Hands-off healing can include intuitive work, sound healing, frequency healing, and integral medicine.
Distant healing sessions typically include an element of talk therapy, and emotional clearing and can be just as powerful as in-person.
