What is energy healing?

Energy healing is a powerful form of healing that is quickly becoming relevant in today's world. Contemporary science is just beginning to study and prove the validity of energy healing - the link between your thoughts and emotions to your physical health. Our world is nothing more than energy in varying degrees. Trauma, emotional and mental stress, false belief systems, physical distress, and other blocks to our personal growth can be stored in our bodies’ energy fields, impacting our ability to function at our full potential. Energetic healing facilitates the healing process by clearing these blocks in our energy fields, repairing and rebalancing the energy so the body can access its inherent ability to heal itself.

How does energy healing work?

The human body is surrounded internally and externally by an electromagnetic energy field. This energy field flows through and permeates all living things - this is something well known in science and physics. In eastern medicine, it has long been understood that critical information is held within the energy field relating to a person's health. From an energy healer's standpoint, all health issues are interconnected through three realities: mind, body, and spirit. These three levels all work together and influence each other for your health and vitality. When in harmony they will operate in health - but, they will create disease when out of sync. 

How can meditation help me?

Those who want to meditate can choose among a wide range of practices. What they have in common is a narrowing of focus that shuts out the external world and stills the body. There are numerous studies done on the benefits of meditation. In a study involving Charles L. Raison, MD, clinical director of the Mind-Body Program at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, meditation was found to improve both physical and emotional responses to stress. In the study, people who meditated regularly for six weeks showed less activation of their immune systems and less emotional distress when they were put in a stressful situation. Stress reduction could be the key to mediation's beneficial effect on health. More studies have shown improvement for a host of maladies, including fibromyalgia and psoriasis in patients who meditate. Science hasn't yet connected all the dots between the meditating brain and the immune system. But a University of Wisconsin study saw increased electrical activity in regions of the left frontal lobe after eight weeks of training in meditation. This area tends to be more active in optimistic people.
