WHAT IS ENERGY HEALING
The Universe and everything in it is made up of energy--including us. The ancient art of energy healing includes the laying on of hands where the universal life force energy is channeled through a practitioner to another person. During this exchange, channeled energy can help release blockages within a person that can cause emotional distress or physical illness. Energy healing promotes deep relaxation and stress reduction which can boost and awaken he body's own natural healing abilities.
Energy healing sessions can lead to an increase in general vitality and a sense of inner peace. They can accelerate and promote the healing process on the physical, emotional and/or spiritual levels. Energy healing is not meant to replace conventional medical treatment, but however is used as a wonderful adjunct to traditional treatments to help expedite recovery from illness or surgery. It is also useful in reducing side effects from treatments such as chemotherapy.
Among its many uses, energy healing can be beneficial for those with cancer, chronic pain issues, digestive issues, and headaches. It is also useful for those just wanting to escape from the general stress of everyday life!
Energy healing, particularly the art of Reiki, is used in over 100 hospital settings around the country and is recognized as an alternative treatment by the National Institute of Health.
WHAT IS AN ENERGY HEALING TREATMENT LIKE?
During an energy healing treatment, you remain fully clothed. You can receive a treatment while seated, but it is usually more comfortable to lie on a massage table or another comfortable surface. A typical treatment lasts from 60 to 90 minutes. The practitioner places her hands on or a few inches above your body without any pressure. You may feel heat from her hands as well as a sense of relaxation and well-being. Some people state that they experience a tingling throughout their body. However, everyone's experience is their own. All you need to to let go of any expectations and allow the energy to flow. An intention to be whole and well is all that you need to bring with you.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED
That is totally up to you. Usually improvement is felt right away as you experience a sense of well-being and peace. However, everyone's healing takes place at the pace that is appropriate for them. For many chronic conditions, there may be the need for longer-term treatments to bring the body back to balance. This is because most illnesses are the result of certain physical, emotional, and/or spiritual components of your life that were probably our of balance. Somewhere along the way, one or more parts of you have shifted your energy field to cause an illness. These shifts may have been caused by past injuries, traumatic events, poor habits, or pollutants. Energy healing gradually help you release these "toxins" that are stored in your body.
