Energy medicine works from within, and we are very much a part of our own healing. In fact unless your energy healer tells you they are simply the facilitator of  your healing and that it is very much teamwork, you do best to look for another. When we are in a weakened state for whatever reason, having someone channel energy to us acts as a catalyst for healing to begin. The strong energy they can project boosts our own, and sets off and supports the healing process.

It is becoming ever more accepted, due in a large part to the proofs from quantum physics, that we are born with the ability to recharge, renew and repair ourselves. Sadly, we have long been taught that we need outside interference, which often includes  invasive treatment or drugs of some kind. We have been conditioned to think that we cannot trust our own judgement about how we feel.

When something is amiss with our health, it is a message from our body, nudging us to fix the root cause. As renowned naturopath Barbara Wren so wisely states, our bodies are always working for us, not against us. Energy healing embraces this and aids the body to release trapped  trauma, be it emotional, physical, psychological or inherited.

How Does Energy Healing Work?

The simple explanation is that energy healing works by restoring energy flow in the body,  so all systems can function at optimum capacity. When there is an imbalance or blockage somewhere and this flow is affected, toxic build up occurs – again this can be physical, emotional or psychological. You may be more familiar with this energy as chi or qi  and know that this travels through our body via meridians and chakras.

According to Dr. Pawluk, an eminent authority on magnetic field therapy:  “ All healing processes are—fundamentally—electromagnetic.  Healers who use “energy” modalities work via electromagnetic activity. Healing may occur via the meridians, on an etheric level, and at the physical level—or on many levels simultaneously—and these changes are facilitated by electromagnetic activity. Therefore, the healer, the healing environment, and the attitude of the therapist all play roles because of the “energy sharing pattern” between the healer and the person being healed. In this way, the molecular environment is changed on an electromagnetic level” 

Having Faith in the Healer

We all resonate with different people and have preferences in how we choose, but if after your first visit/ connection you don’t sense the healer’s energy – IE unconditional love and a non judgemental open heart essence, move on until you do. You will know when you are in the presence of  this. Although many experienced healers may use similar methods, all healers are not the same.

Also, a point worth noting, is the expectation we often hold in regards to healing. Impatience often rules, as we have been conditioned into a quick fix response hence the ‘lose pain fast by taking a tablet’ mentality. Healer and author Gill Edwards wrote in ‘Conscious Medicine’, that trying too hard to heal often fails, because by trying too hard we are not trusting in our bodies (and we try too hard because we want fast results), so we then more deeply embed the message that we are fragmented and splintered.

If you are seeking help from someone, you need that person to fully believe in your recovery,  for them to see you as whole, and not the fractured or damaged version you may feel you are. This really is of paramount importance and a very different approach to conventional medicine that does indeed see us as broken in various parts and tries to mend in bits. Which makes no sense.

Our cells are all connected, so  energetically speaking what happens to one, happens to all. Consider this: if all cells are healthy, then no disease can take hold, it matters not what name or term it is given to classify it. Healing of anything means healing at a cellular level and for this, our energetic fields need to be aligned and flowing.
