WHAT IS ENERGY HEALING ?

Energy healing is a type of holistic therapy that supports the body in self-healing. The body is an energetic system, and has an AURA or biofield - a field of energy that surrounds and extends from the body around 6 feet. This is why we can feel someone when they walk in a room!

This energy system is visible to the human eye, but the AURA /biofield can be felt and in energy healing sessions, such as REIKI - a Japanese healing method, the energy is felt through the hands, often through tingling, temperature changes, and anything sensed intuitively.  Energy medicine modalities such as Reiki, Crystal therapy, sound therapy, and use of aromatherapy oils directly affect this subtle energy field that surrounds the body.

The human energy system is often understood in energy medicine as comprising five components:

Meridians / Nadis

Chakras

AURA / biofield

Hara

Core star

• Meridians or NADIS are pathways in which energy travels within our tissues that run on each side of the body. There are 12 major meridians, and one side mirrors the other. Each meridian correlates to an internal organ.

  
  

• Chakras are spinning wheels of energy and are located up the spine. There are seven major chakras and these draw in this energy so that the whole of our life issues are kept in balance—the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health of the body. The chakras can reveal "the issues in your tissues"

  
  

• The AURA or biofield, includes both the chakras and their corresponding fields. They are not two separate systems but two aspects of one system. The Aura / biofield is our energetic external coat.

  
  

• Hara is the unique energetic presence that you chose to bring with you from divine source and is essential for the human’s complete spiritual and physical manifestation on the earthly plane. The hara is where we hold our lessons, traumas, contracts, and karma. The HARA is located beneath the solar plexus in Reiki.. the heart is also a hara area.

  
  

• Core star is the energetic expression of the individual’s core essence and is the expression of source through the individual’s personal experience. The core star is how we bring our light into the world.

The goal of energy healing is to help elicit a relaxation response and transform fear into thoughts and feelings of calm, acceptance, peace, gratitude, or joy. Energy medicine techniques can stabilize the human energy system and bring relief from being in a constant state of fight or flight response. This stress response, is triggered by a release of hormones either prompting us to stay and fight or run away and flee. Our life situations and stressors can show up in our energy system as blocked energy.
