WHAT IS ENERGY HEALING?

What is energy healing?

Universal life force energy is the foundational energy that consciously sustains all living things. It is understood that this energy flows and connects everything in the universe. Simply put, energy healing is a transferring of universal life force energy through the practitioner to the recipient. 

 

Energy healing is a natural healing process believed to be at least 2500 years old and can be found in various ancient cultures. Reiki is a Japanese technique that involves channelling universal life force energy through the hands of a trained practitioner to promote healing. The energy you receive is not the practitioner's own; they are merely the conduit for the flow of energy. 

​

I would describe the feeling of receiving energy healing as a gentle, calming, warm and loving experience.

 

Ever since I was young, I was amazed at how, for example, a cut on my finger would heal itself in a matter of days! Our bodies are amazing and have the ability to heal themselves, however our bodies may need intentional support in order to thrive.

 

People decide to engage in an energy healing session for many reasons, but the common intention is always to feel more well within themselves.

 

During a treatment there is no physical contact between me (the practitioner) and you (the client). You are also more than welcome to have a friend or family member present at an in-person session. 

 

When receiving energy healing, the intention is not that of reliving past trauma. Of course it is fine for us to talk about anything that is troubling you but there is no specific requirement for you to revisit painful or difficult memories if you don’t want to. 

 

Energy healing is a complimentary therapy and is not a substitute for professional medical treatments, such as professional psychiatric treatment. Energy healing is also not a talking therapy, such as counselling.

If you have a concern around a specific serious physical or mental health condition, you should always contact your health care provider.

​

Energy healing focuses on freeing up energy centres in the body to deepen the flow of universal life force energy, bringing feelings of calmness, initiating and accelerating the body’s natural healing process and improving overall wellbeing. In short, energy healing will release you from energetic deficit and put you into energetic credit!

 

As I mentioned earlier, our bodies have the innate ability to heal, but we do also often need support. We can overlook the needs of our bodies. Showing gratitude towards the body takes conscious effort by doing things like consuming nutritious food, engaging in appropriate levels of exercise (where possible), regularly getting restful sleep, and listening when an intuitive voice says, "I know that I have the ability to feel more well than I currently am, I just need to try initiating an energetic shift in order to help myself".

 

If you are having thoughts like this, it is a great time to embark on booking an energy healing session.
