Energy Healing is a holistic approach to facilitating good health for the patient by activating the body's subtle energy systems to remove blockages. It is through clearing these blockages that natural balance is restored and the body's inherent ability to heal itself is stimulated.

The human body is a complete energy system in tune with the Universe. Any imbalance in the body creates an obstruction in the flow of energy, which results in illness. Energy therapies try to ensure that energies flowing within the body moves unobstructed.

Does Energy Healing actually work?

Many cultures have studied Energy Healing in different forms for thousands of years. For example, Reiki is a tradition that dates back to the early 20th century in the UK. Ancient Hindu texts also refer to the seven energy centers in the body and traditional Chinese energy healers practice Acupuncture. Although many ancient cultures use different techniques and modalities to stimulate the natural ability for the body to heal the one thing all these have in common is they all see energy within the body as a powerful source of healing.

When we are relaxed and stress-free, we are able to restore our natural ability to heal. When a person is in good health, regular energy healing therapy will increase the body’s built-in defenses. This will manifest itself as confidence and outward harmony in dealing with everyday events. The person will gain a positive outlook on life.

Quantum Energy

Quantum describes the smallest measurable unit of human matter. Smaller than our organs and tissues… smaller than our atoms and their protons, neutrons and electrons… smaller than our subatomic particles {like quarks}…. Quantum physics has proven that we are actually NOT made of teeny tiny particles of matter.

Energy isn’t separate from us - it is us

We interact with and exchange energy constantly. Even if you don’t “believe” in energy, it’s an indisputable scientific fact: you are an energetic being.

Quantum law validates that change in one body {physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, energetic} creates change in all your bodies- in your whole being. You’re not just parts; you’re an integrated system.

This means that healing and mastering your personal energetics affects your state of wellness- just like choosing nutritious foods or addressing your mental health or being in loving, supportive relationships does. It ALL matters and it all must be considered in an integrated way.

As energetic beings in an energetic world, we impact the collective {everyone else} with our own upleveling, just as the whole can affect each of individually. It’s just how energy exchange works. This also means that we have a responsibility- not only to ourselves but to one another- to master the self.

WHAT IS A CHAKRA?

A chakra is an energetic center within the auric and physical body of every human. Chakras are also referred to as discs or wheels of energy and serve as the nonphysical highway through which cosmic energy travels, connecting this energy with the physical body. This cosmic energy is what we call Life Force or Prana. In the human energy body, there are technically 114 chakras but we will be focusing on the 7 main chakras which run alongside the spine. They start at the perineum (the space between the genitals and anus) and run up in a straight line to the top of the head. The topmost chakra is just outside of the body above the top of the head.

What Does A Chakra Do?

The word chakra is derived from the Sanskrit word for “wheel” or “disc”. These energy centers are depicted as spinning discs of light that govern our psychological experience as affected by both mental and emotional stimuli. Depending on whether a chakra is open or closed, aligned or misaligned, underactive or overactive, each spinning disc can drastically alter one’s energetic, physical, or spiritual state of being. Achieving a balance among the chakras and working to release blockages within these energetic points allows Prana to flow through easily, for a healthy, balanced, and enlightened existence. When the chakra system is in balance, we are balanced. Chakra imbalances can manifest in behavioral, emotional, spiritual, and physical illnesses and issues.
