Energy medicine is an ancient art that is still prevalent in the 21st century. Despite the fact that a number of therapies integrate energy healing, many people are still in the dark about what it is and how it works. All energy healing practices stem from the fact that everything, including our bodies, is comprised of energy. The human body has areas called chakras that hold this energy, which accumulates over time into energy patterns. Events that occur over the course of one's life are what create energy patterns, some of which are positive while others represent painful experiences. These memories, which we often try so hard to forget, can become so deeply embedded within the chakras that they can have adverse effects on our health and wellbeing.
Energy healing methods like BodyTalk focus on releasing the emotional blockages in our chakras that are caused by negative energy. The state through which we can restore healing is achieved once the mind, body and soul are integrated as a result of removing these blockages.
Each person has more than just a physical body, according to believers of energy medicine. This multi-body system, as it is commonly referred to, is comprised of an emotional body, an etheric body, an astral body and a mental body. Events and experiences that impact us throughout our lives affect each of our "bodies." No matter how large or small, how severe or benign, these catalysts manifest in the form of energy which leaves an imprint in our auras. The nature of each imprint, or energy pattern, can be positive or negative, depending on the event that brought it on in the first place.
Over time, we absorb negative energies like fear, sadness, anger, doubt, blame, jealousy, etc., that create bad energy patterns within our auras. These negative energy patterns result in imbalances that impede the healing process. This is where techniques like Body Talk come into play, helping us to release the bad energy that has accumulated deep in our chakras, bringing us to a state of balance that is most suited to healing. Energy healers believe that disease and illness are outcrops of negative energy, and thus, releasing that energy is what must be done to promote healing.
When receiving energy healing, there are a few things to keep in mind. First and foremost, your body has always had the ability to heal itself. When you tap into the wisdom of your soul, your body will tell you what it needs. Secondly, good health is best achieved when your body's systems are able to communicate clearly with each other. When all systems are in-synch, the body and mind adjust easily to stress.
If you want to know more about how energy healing works, there is a great deal of literature on the subject. A number of studies on energy healing indicate strong support in the scientific community that recipients tend to respond positively to energy healing techniques like Body Talk. New York City has a great BodyTalk center that focuses on education, if you're interested in learning more about the power of energy in healing. Probably the best way to gain an understanding about energy healing is to visit a healing center. New York City is a great place to find an energy healer.
