Energy healing isn’t new. Humans have been using ways to feel better since the beginning of time. Shamans and other “alternative” healers were the original medicine keepers. Thousands of years before modern medicine, plant medicine, sound, ritual, touch, and energy were used to restore physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
Well, traditional healing is back. Old medicine is now new medicine. And energy healing is at the heart. What exactly is energy healing, though? It’s not out there and new-agey, either.
What Is Energy Healing?
Everything is energy. Which is exactly what energy healing is all about. It uses energy backed by intention to help people heal. Energy healing blends science and spirituality. Some researchers refer to it as “a theory of how subtle energy impacts physical as well as mental or emotional functioning.”
It’s like the physiology of spirituality. There’s not a lot of scientific research to back it up, but a recent study did find that people “reported positive descriptions of virtual energy healing and said they would do it again.”
Energy healing is about fixing. It’s more like allowing yourself to become whole. It doesn’t force. It guides you back to who you are. You’re not what happened to you. The emotional, mental, or physical traumas aren’t you. Energy healing helps you release them. It’s like a reset that shifts your energy. And when your energy shifts, everything else in your life shifts with it.
Does Energy Healing Work?
Energy healing has become super popular. People still call it “woo woo” or “new-age,” though. But energy IS science! Think of an atom. It’s mostly energy and empty space, yeah? You can’t even see it. But you know it exists.
Same thing with energy healing. If energy is science, it’s not so far-fetched that energy can be used to heal. Kinda makes it easier to see why more people are interested in it. Or what it could do for you.
Is Energy Healing Right For Me?
Some people turn to energy healing because they’ve tried everything else. Or they’re tired of popping a pill (or two or three) every day that only masks their symptoms. Others are curious how it might help them level up physically or mentally.
You know you best. If you’re ready to change and transform your life, why not consider a more natural approach? You can 100% experience effective, long-lasting change. And energy healing could be the very thing that makes it happen.
The World’s Perspective on Energy Healing Has Changed
After 2020, the entire world looked at health in a new light. More people opened up to the idea of energetic healing. They’re excited to try something new that might help!
3 Different Types of Energy Healing
1.) Healing with Crystals
Crystals have been referred to as healing gems. You might not think of crystals as energy. But everything is energy. Crystals have been used for healing for thousands of years. There’s research that the ancient Greeks used pulverized gemstones to treat disease. Vedic texts from ancient India describe the healing powers of different crystals.
Quartz and amethyst are super popular healing crystals. But clear quartz is known as the “master healer.” It’s said to absorb and help release negative energy, promote positive energy, soothe stress, and boost focus. Some even say it can help with pain relief and detoxification.
Does crystal energy healing really work? A 2018 Pew Research Report found that around 42% of Americans believe crystals hold spiritual energy. Crystal healing has become part of a billion-dollar industry. You might be surprised to learn how many people carry a crystal or two in their pocket.
2.) Network Spinal
Network Spinal is a type of holistic chiropractic care that addresses tension stored in the body. It’s a super gentle approach that uses light touches known as contacts. There’s no cracking. Zero popping.
Getting Network Spinal treatment, known as an “entrainment,” involves these gentle touches along the neck, spine, and back that help guide energy to areas of the body where energy’s depleted.
This type of energy healing has been shown to help support physical injuries and pain, just like the bone-cracking chiropractic care most people are used to. But Network Spinal is different. It also helps heal emotional trauma stored in the body. This is chiropractic energy work that works on an emotional and physical level.
Through this type of energetic healing, you can face and release things past. You can embody who you truly are underneath the trauma. You can thrive. Feel connected. Balanced. Whole. Free from whatever has held you back from living how you want to live.
3.) Reiki
Hands down, Reiki is one of the most popular and well-known types of energy healing. The primary goal of Reiki is stress relief. There’s even research that shows it works better than a placebo as a complementary therapy.
Developed in Japan in the 1920s, a Reiki session is known as an “attunement.” It involves using noninvasive, gentle touch without manipulating the body. A Reiki Master performs a light laying of hands on or just above the clothed body of the client.
Some of the benefits of Reiki are:
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Decreased physical and mental tension
- Improved sleep
- Stronger immunity
- Mind/Body balance
- Enhanced spiritual well-being
More than 800 hospitals in the US offer Reiki. Studies show it reduces pain and psychological distress. Not so woo-woo and out there after all. And like other types of energy healing, it’s accessible to anyone open to it.
Energy healing isn’t about believing in weird things. It’s grounded, practical, and super popular for a reason. Looks like good vibes, love, and healing light really can fix everything. Contact us to learn more about energetic healing and how it can help.
