What is Energy and Intuitive Healing?

Energy medicine is a system of holistic healing therapies that aim to manipulate the universal "life force" or "vital energy" that flows through a person's body to restore balance and promote health and well-being. There are a wide variety of energy-based modalities involving both hands-on healing and non-touch treatments, all of which focus on using the body's own natural energy flow to improve health, reduce pain, anxiety, and fatigue, and improve a myriad of health conditions.

Intuitive healing is closely related to energy healing in that it uses the individual's innate resources—energy, emotions, and unconscious intuition—to guide the way to better health. Intuitive healing taps into both the body and mind's deeper wisdom to avoid illness, replenish energy, and bring insight into any problem.

Energy and Intuitive Healing Practices

Biofield Therapies

Biofield Therapies are gentle interventions aimed at healing imbalances in the energy fields in and around the human body. Some forms manipulate biofields by applying pressure and/or manipulating the body by placing the hands in, or through, these energy fields.

Qi Gong

Qi Gong (pronounced "chee-gong") is a series of ancient Chinese meditative exercises which use breathing, simple body movements and imagination or visualization to direct the flow of energy through one's body to improve all aspects of human health: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Practicing Qi Gong makes one more attuned to his or her body's internal states, feelings, and connection to the universe. The primary aim of Qigong is to maintain or restore the energetic balance and harmony of the Qi to affect positive physiological and psychological change.

Healing Touch

Based on the belief that human beings are embodied fields of energy that are constantly interacting with each other and the environment, Healing Touch is an energy therapy that uses gentle hand movements and techniques to help re-pattern a person's energy field and promote healing and well-being.

Reiki

Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is a combination of the two Japanese words "rei" and "ki" meaning "universal life energy". Reiki is an ancient healing practice that incorporates the "laying-on" of hands to focus and direct a person's life-force energy to heal. This high-touch, spiritual therapy seeks to balance the subtle energies within our bodies. Reiki addresses physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual imbalances, treating the whole person. Beneficial effects may include relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well-being.
