Energy Healing Sessions

Energy Healing Sessions

Energy healing sessions, also referred to as energy medicine or energy therapy, is a form of complementary and alternative medicine based on the belief that a vital energy flows through the human body.

Key points about energy healing:

• Core Concept: Practitioners believe that an invisible field of energy surrounds and flows through the body. The goal of energy healing is to balance the flow of this energy to promote well-being and restore health.
• Techniques: There are many types of energy healing, including:

  • Reiki: A Japanese technique where the practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the client to channel "universal life force energy."

  • Acupuncture/Acupressure: Traditional Chinese Medicine practices that involve stimulating specific points on the body to rebalance the flow of qi (life force energy) using needles (acupuncture) or pressure (acupressure).
  • Therapeutic Touch/Healing Touch: Techniques often used in hospital settings that involve a practitioner using their hands with an intention to facilitate physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
  • Qigong: An ancient Chinese practice involving breathing exercises and movement to optimize energy.
• Reported Benefits: People use energy healing for various reasons and often report benefits such as:

  • Reduced stress and anxiety

  • Deep sense of peace and relaxation
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Reduction in pain
  • Improved overall quality of life
• Scientific Standing: While many find the practices helpful, energy healing is generally considered an unproven or putative energy medicine by the mainstream scientific community. The "subtle energy" it claims to manipulate is not empirically measurable by conventional scientific methods.
• Context: It is commonly used as a complementary therapy—meaning it's used alongside conventional medical treatment—but not as a replacement for it.
