Energy Healing / Balancing...

The knowledge that unseen energy flows through all living things, and directly corresponds to one's quality of health, is part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The existence of "life force energy" has been verified by science. Many members of the healthcare community now embrace the role that energy work plays in bolstering the immune system, aiding in detoxification and overall healing.

Energy healing is a broad term for any type of healing that smoothes out, manipulates, restores, or balances the flow of energy in the body. It is grounded in the belief that, in addition to its physical and biochemical systems, the human body is made up of a complex system of invisible energy. Often referred to in English as "universal life force energy," it is called by different names in different cultures: The Chinese know it as qi; the Japanese refer to it as ki; in India, it is prana.

Of the various energy healing practices, Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch, and Reiki have been the most widely and successfully used in hospitals, hospices, and out-patient facilities. Each of these practices has been found to accelerate healing, quicken recovery from surgery and trauma, reduce pain, lesson stress, and assist with emotional and spiritual healing.

Other well-known healing practices include Quantum Touch, Quantum Healing, Reconnective Healing, and Qi Qong. So, with all of these healing modalities to choose from, you might be wondering which is best? The fact is, one is no better than the other. All healing modalities get their power from the same source (God, Higher Self, or whatever name you give to the pinnacle of your belief system). Success with any healing depends on how you resonate with your practitioner and your ability to accept the session.

Knowing that all energy comes from the same source, I do not label my work as a specific modality such as Reiki or Qi Gong. I use a combination of techniques depending on the needs of the client. Most clients respond very well to a "hands off" approach (where the hands are a few inches to a few feet away from the body).

Occasionally a client will respond better to a "hands on" approach (laying the hands on the body and "running" energy through a specific injured area). These differing techniques are always discussed with the client first and I only use whatever the client is most comfortable with.

Energy healing is not intended to be the primary treatment for any health problem. Rather it is a complementary therapy (and a great preventative measure) meant to support other ongoing physical, mental, and emotional treatments.

Working with the emotional aspects of energy can release old feelings of emotional distress. While energy healing holds promise for helping resolve such distress, persons with a history of mental health disorders should have a trained counselor or psychiatrist available to them when undergoing a series of energy healing sessions.

Energy work sparks a ripple effect in healing and personal change. So, typically 1 to 3 sessions will suffice for most person's healing issues at the needed time. It is recommended that you schedule a 3 session series (for maximum results), then wait about 3 months before scheduling another series. This will allow time for the effect of the sessions to fully run their course. Some clients find that they experience a heightened sense of euphoria during all of their sessions. These clients will often schedule more sessions than recommended (similar to getting a weekly or bi-weekly massage). Being that this is a euphoric and stress reducing effect (rather than a major life changing event), then more sessions are perfectly acceptable.
