Welcome to Healing By Energy. So what is energy healing? In a nutshell, it’s your innate ability to heal your body by working with its subtle energies through intention and touch.

These are energies which have been known about for thousands of years; the Chinese call them qi. In India they’re known as prana.

Ancient wisdom from many different cultures around the world says there is no separation between your body, your consciousness and the universal energy field, zero point energy field, Divine Matrix or whatever your choice of description is.

It‘s based on the principle that all illness and disease begins in consciousness before manifesting physically, which means that if the energetic blockages and imbalances brought about by consciousness can be addressed then healing on all levels can take place.

Everything Is Energy

Until now these concepts haven’t been taken seriously by mainstream medicine, which deals with disease by addressing the physical symptoms only – not the causes. This is a result of the Newtonian view of the Universe, which sees it as a clockwork mechanism where objects affect each other via known physical forces and within the limitations of space and time.

But there’s more to reality than this. Physicists have been digging deeper into matter to find out what, ultimately, it’s made of. And they’ve discovered that there are no ‘smallest’ particles – there are only standing waves, or ’bundles’ of energy.

It’s our senses which interpret these tightly woven patterns of energy as ’solid.’ But this interpretation is just an illusion.

Consciousness Creates Reality

What this means is that there is nothing in the Universe that isn’t energy, and isn’t connected by an underlying energy field – matter, light, radiation, our bodies – and our thoughts.

And this is the key point. If our thoughts – our consciousness – are energy too, and they’re part of the same energy matrix which permeates the entire Universe, seen and unseen, then could they not have an effect on all other parts of the Universe?

The fact is that they do. It’s been shown in numerous experiments that thought can affect matter in a number of ways.

This is true for our bodies too. Their energies consist of the visible and the invisible. They are complex, subtle yet dynamic. They ebb and flow, they have intelligence, and they constantly interact with each other.

Healing By Energy

Our bodies naturally tend towards energetic balance. But because they mirror what’s happening in our emotional lives that balance can be disrupted as a result of our emotional traumas, negative thoughts, beliefs and inner conflicts, psychological stress and our environment – pollution, processed foods, artificial electromagnetic energy, and also through our contact with the negative energies of others.

Unless the energetic imbalances are redressed, they will manifest physically as illness or disease.


The good news is we can engage with our body’s energy system using various techniques ranging from the simple to the more complex. We can release stagnant energies, boost those that are faint and disperse those that are excessive. Ensuring our energy system is in balance can have benefits beyond good physical health too. Healing by energy is holistic, treating the whole person physically, emotionally and spiritually. So by maintaining energetic balance on all these levels,  non-health problems can also be resolved, such as in the areas of finance, career or relationships. Because of its basic simplicity, energy healing can be used by anyone to help heal themselves, loved ones, and even their pets.

Therapies

There can, though, seem to be a bewildering array of therapies that all fall under the umbrella of energy healing: Reiki, Qigong, acupuncture, acupressure, reflexology, homeopathy, colour and sound therapy and even different disciplines within these groups. But they all share the same premise, that disruptions and blockages to the vibrational patterns and flows of energies within our body systems cause illness and disease. No particular therapy is ‘better’ or more effective than any other; we’re all individual and will respond in different ways to the available treatments. In other words, acupuncture may work for one person, Reiki for another. Or perhaps a combination of two or more therapies might solve the problem. It’s a question of horses for courses. Although there is still a long way to go before energy medicine is accepted and integrated into mainstream healthcare, there has been a major shift in attitudes in recent years. They’ve changed because we are beginning to understand – or perhaps ‘re-learn’ is a more accurate description – the link between consciousness and our lives on every level. If the sceptics care to look, there are plentiful stories showing that energy healing is real, it’s simple and it works.
