What is Healing Energy and How is it Used?

If you're just starting out, you may be wondering "What's healing energy?". Well, one of the basics of energy healing is that each of us has an energy system as well as the other systems of the body. Some even think that the physical systems are just an outward display of what's going on in the energy system, but that's a side matter.

Directing energy to help heal someone is energy healing. The various forms are used to heal yourself or for someone else, right there or far away. Energy sent to someone for the purposes of healing is, rather obviously, called "healing energy".

Energy, like any tool, is (generally) neutral by itself. When someone forms an intention abougt what they want to do with that energy, then the energy will take on that intention.

Some people will use their energy to break up blockages in someone's energy system so that their energy can flow and they can return to their natural health. Others will send a big boost of energy to the person to do with as they need. Other times, energy gets sent to a particular system of the body or body part based on the needs.

In order to work with energy, it is necessary to first sharpen your senses to perceive it. In Reiki, this is part of the lessons, and never stops being important. The same is true of Qi Gong. Each energy healing system has its own ways of teaching this awareness. Elsewhere on the site you will find some excellent techniques I've found for doing this.
