Energy Healing 101: a.k.a. "What are you talking about?!"

The purpose of this "Energy Healing 101" is to help explain and clarify some of the common confusion about the subject. The term means different things to different people. Some people think that it replaces modern medicine, while others think that it is a complementary practice. Some believe that such healing work is best reserved for the most dire of circumstances, while others believe that regular energy work will be of the most benefit.

I'm not going to try to resolve these differences of opinion here. Instead, let me try to share my understanding of the subject. The purpose of this section of the site is to give you some basic information so you can decide what to think for yourself.

So, What is Energy Healing?

First, let me get into some of the more-or-less universal philosophy behind energy work for healing.

Beyond the physical basics, we also operate by the flow of energy. This is spiritual. Much like with any other natural function, such as the flow of blood, the cycle of respiration, and so on, the energy must flow well in order for people to live and be well.

Cases where your energy system is not doing well causes or, at the very least, contributes to many pains and illnesses, as well as mental/emotional problems.

Many physical maladies we see are in fact symptoms of problems with the energy field. As within, so without; Mind and body are mirrors of each other. From the major chakras (chakra diagram here), to the meridians, to the general emotional and spiritual tone you carry, there are many aspects to your energy system and how it works.

Much like other systems in the body, there is a "balance" when it comes to your energy system. It keep an even keel, neither over-active or under-active, and most healing systems include ways of dealing with this issue.
