What is Energy Work?

When I tell people I do energy work I get a mix of curiosity, fascination and I'm sure some skepticism too. So let's start with science. Einstein taught us that matter is energy. Everything is energy. Matter is made up of vibrating molecules that vibrate and yes, our bodies are energetic as is the home you live in. That energy can change and shift.

Energy has a vibration and it can be positive or negative, high or low. Trauma energy or depression energy has a low vibration in the body and the body does not resonate well in this space. It puts us at risk for disease. On the other hand, positive, high vibing energy combined with healthy imputes from food and self care creates healing energy in our body. Toxins, molds, fungus, viruses and bacteria also cause energy blockages and shifts in the body. So what is energy healing then? Energy healing is a gentle, natural but powerful practice that helps the body's subtle energy systems to shift and remove blocks and transform. By clearing the body's blocks caused by stress, trauma, emotion, negative thinking and inherited weakness and tendencies, we can shift that energy to one of well being and health and activate the body's innate ability to heal.

Energy has been studied since ancient times, particularly in Eastern cultures such as China, Japan and India. Energetic practices such as Reiki, Reflexology and Acupuncture have become widely accepted in Western Cultures and as natural forms of healing are sought out more readily as our world becomes sicker, people are coming to appreciate this gift more than ever.

Energy work can be applied to all kinds of physical and emotional symptoms we experience. Energy is moved through intention and so a practitioner like myself, working to support your healing, cannot hurt you. The intention is that the energy shift in divine order, with ease and grace, and for your greatest and highest good.

You do not have to fully understand energy work to benefit from it. You just need to be open to its benefits. All you need to benefit from energy work is a willingness to accept and an open mind.
