Advanced Energy Work
Energy work is a therapy that focuses on the energy of the body. There are a variety of therapeutic techniques based on intentionally directing healing energy to the patient through the hands of the therapist. These techniques are used for stress reduction and relaxation that helps the body come into a natural state of balance so that self-healing can take place. These techniques are based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If our life force energy is high, we are more capable of being healthy and happy, but if it is low, we are more likely to get sick or to feel stress. The methods replenish this life energy, clearing blockages to natural flow and balancing the energy to facilitate healing.
Therapeutic sessions last about 30 to 40 minutes and are conducted with the patient, fully clothed, lying on a treatment table. During the session, the therapist intentionally uses her hands to replenish the patient’s energy, clear blockages in the flow of energy and balance the patient’s energy. This is accomplished by either light touch or holding the hands 2 to 6 inches from the body, using recognized therapeutic techniques.
Energy work has been shown, through research, to be very effective in reducing stress and anxiety, relieving pain and facilitating healing. Energy work is recommended for persons who are:
- Feeling anxious and stressed
- Experiencing chronic pain
- Having difficulty sleeping
- Recovering from surgery or an illness
- Experiencing fatigue
- Feeling depressed or “burned out”
