WHAT IS ENERGY HEALING?

What is Energy Healing? A Guide for the Spiritually Curious (or Slightly Skeptical)

We’ve all heard the phrase “good vibes only.” But what if I told you that vibes – more formally known as vibrational frequencies – are actually part of the subtle fabric of your being? Welcome to the world of energy healing – quantum energy – where science, spirit, and the sparkle of soul converge.

Let’s unpack it like a shimmering amethyst you just picked up at the local crystal shop: beautiful, mysterious, and comprised of layers.

You Are Energy!  Yes, You Are!

Not just you, but everything you see, hear and feel is Energy. Physicists have confirmed it.

Everything is energy. From the dense structure of your bones to the fleeting flicker of a thought, your body and consciousness are not just meat and memories – they’re dynamic vibrating fields of energy.

You may have heard terms like aura, chakra, or biofield. These describe different layers or aspects of your energetic system. Think of them like apps running in the background of your body’s operating system. If one crashes or gets overloaded, it can affect the rest of the system. We know this as emotional burnout or trauma.

This is where energy healing comes in – like a cosmic tech support session.

What Exactly Is Energy Healing?

Energy healing is the practice of working with the body’s energetic systems to restore balance, flow, and vitality. Practitioners act as channels or facilitators, helping to move, clear, or realign energy that’s stagnant, blocked, or disharmonious and no longer of service.

It’s not about “doing” something to you. It’s about awakening what’s already within you. Remembering.

Popular Modalities Include:

• Reiki – Channeling universal life force energy through hands-on or remote healing.
• Pranic Healing – Cleansing and energizing the body using breath and light.
• Healing Touch / Therapeutic Touch – Often used in clinical settings to support pain relief and relaxation.
• Shamanic Energy Work – Involves soul retrieval, ancestral clearing, or working with spirit allies.
• Holographic or Quantum Healing – Works multidimensionally with timelines, frequency patterns, and soul-level imprints.

There are countless other methods, some ancient, some modern, and many blending practices across various cultures.

How Does It Work, Though?

That’s an excellent question and one that mystics and scientists alike are still exploring.

Here are some working theories and intuitive truths (emphasis on both/and, not either/or):

• The body is intelligent and knows how to heal. Energy work simply removes interference so the natural healing process can flow.
• Emotions and trauma can get “stuck” in the energetic field and in the physical body. Healing helps process and release these energetic imprints or blockages.
• Subtle energy fields are interactive. Just like you feel someone’s presence without them speaking, your energy field responds to intention, frequency, and attention. This occurs naturally without requiring you to understand the details.
• Quantum physics suggests reality is influenced by consciousness. Energy healing uses intention as medicine. Your intention and free will are the keys.  Without these keys, a practitioner has no authority to engage with your energy field.

Is it measurable? Sometimes. Is it real? Ask anyone who’s felt lighter, clearer, or more peaceful after a session. Ask anyone who’s pain or anxiety is gone. The body doesn’t lie.

What Might You Experience?

Energy healing is often subtle, but don’t confuse “gentle” with “ineffective.” Sessions can lead to:

• Emotional release (tears, laughter, euphoria, sudden insight)
• Physical shifts (warmth, tingling, ease of pain)
• Mental clarity – new perspective
• Increased intuition or vivid dreams
• That floaty, blissed-out “just had a soul massage” vibe
• Connected souls may hear, see, know, taste, feel, etc. evidence of energetic movement during the healing process

You may feel results instantly, or they may unfold like sacred breadcrumbs over the days that follow.

Who Is It For?

• The spiritually curious
• The energetically overwhelmed
• The emotionally stumped
• The bodies asking for physical healing
• The mystics-in-training
• The skeptics with curious minds

If you’re human, you have an energy field. And if you’ve ever been tired, stressed, lost, or disconnected, then energy healing is for you.

If you are self-sabotaging, feel stuck, depressed or struggle to reach your goals, then energy healing is for you.

If you have a physical dis-ease, an emotional ailment, or relationship challenge, then energy healing is for you.

Final Thoughts:  Healing Isn’t About “Fixing” – It’s About Remembering

Energy healing doesn’t hand you a solution or an option you don’t already have access to. It reminds you of who you really are as a soul who is whole, wise, and deeply connected to the Source of All.

It’s not always glamorous. Sometimes it's messy, raw, and deeply personal, but it’s always sacred. It’s always worth putting in the work. Just keep a tissue box or shirt sleeve handy.

Whether you're lying on a healing table, listening to a guided meditation, receiving energy upgrades via video conference, or simply standing barefoot on the Earth with your heart open to receive... energy healing is available to you.

Available right now. Always.

And that, dear soul, is what it’s all about.

P.S. My only remaining question is… Why does that extra 15 pounds always show up on the scale, continuing to resist release?  Never mind… just answered my own obvious question. It’s because I keep focusing on it. I’ve anchored that energy into my physical reality. ☹  

I see a healing session in my future! 😊
