How Does Energy Medicine Work?

The practice of energy medicine is a way of healing the body, the mind and the spirit. Energy medicine is a method of breaking through energy blocks, stimulating the body’s ability to heal itself.

The concept of using the body’s natural energy as a method of self-healing is ancient. Many cultures have practiced different methods of improving the flow of energy throughout the body. For example, meridians are the complex network of energy channels used by practitioners of acupuncture or acupressure for thousands of years.

Releasing the Flow of Blocked Energy

When energy is blocked, you typically feel sluggish or fatigued. You may have difficulty concentrating or coping with the stresses of everyday life, and you feel frustrated when you try to set goals or complete a task. You may struggle with anxiety, depression or tension.

While a chiropractor works to manipulate the spine, an energy medicine practitioner works to manipulate the flow of natural energy within the body. Shifting the energy that you already possess can be done using a variety of approaches. The goal is to non-invasively restore balance and harmony. Some ways to release blocked energy include:

• Tapping specific points on the body
• Massaging, twisting or pinching
• Connecting energy points on the body by tracing along the skin
• Surrounding an area with healing energy

These are just a few examples of ways to reopen the flow of blocked energy.

A Holistic Approach to Health and Healing

When you are struggling with any kind of discomfort, disorder or disease, you are likely to continually look for relief.

Energy medicine allows you to take a natural approach to improving your health and well-being. Becoming aware of the life force that flows through your body and learning to tune into it and bring it into harmony and alignment can greatly improve your health, your outlook and your mental clarity.

Take Charge of Your Own Health and Healing

Ultimately your health is your own responsibility. Using energy medicine is effective and safe. It is compatible with any other health regime you may be following, and you may be surprised how much better you will feel after tapping into your own inner intelligence and life force. Using this method of natural healing, you can learn to increase your energy levels and truly meet your potential.
