I want to dedicate a post to share about energy healing. I notice energy work has different names. Some of my favorites are Hands-on healing and Therapeutic touch.

There are also other energy healing modalities like sound healing therapy, electric therapy, and light therapy. These affect the body through somewhat similar ways but through different means.

As I understand it, we benefit from energy healing through vibrations — a term that encompasses a lot of things from sound to light to electricity. As such, energy healing affects our cells and the atoms we are made up of, physically, electrically and chemically through its vibrational properties.

Isn’t it amazing how our hands produce electromagnetic fields through meditation, breathing and intention and how we can direct that energy towards others and to ourselves also? It should not be surprising because we are electrical beings — We produce electromagnetic fields and have an electromagnetic field around us.

We are electrical because of this: Our cells function on atomic levels. As atoms and ions move in and out of the cell, during a cell’s normal functions, it generates electricity and creates/releases a charge.

We can ensure our cells function well by breathing deeply, eating earth given foods that support cells, thinking harmonious thoughts (stress signals to our bodies we are in a fight/flight state and can cause a small shock like effect throughout the body, releasing chemicals like histamine and cortisol) and moving to help our lymph flow!

But these are other things — earth foods, water, fresh air, sunshine, movement and passion (Don Tolman’s seven pillars of health) — aside from energy healing. Yet, they affect our cells in similar ways energy healing does on the cellular level. Why wouldn’t they? 🙂

I think it’s funny how energy healing has its own domain. It’s rather magical, cathartic and evocative. It does go deeper and releases things like “trapped or stagnant energy” and emotions. I know because I’ve experienced these myself and have done them for myself. Are we just physical beings or are we physical human beings connected to a higher dimension? That would be up to you! I believe in God, in my family in spirit, in oneness, in love and light.

Are we human beings with a spiritual experience or are we spiritual beings with a human experience?

One of the modalities I’ve learnt and practise is Pure Energy Healing. I choose this because it is simple, straightforward and powerful. I also include in my practice what I’ve learnt from a Yoga Teacher Training and learning about our lymphatic system. This past year, I’ve studied other types of healing modalities and will continue to.

Here’s something I wrote on one of my first experiences with healing:

While taking the yoga teacher training, we had to practise guiding a meditation session with a partner. As I began doing it with my partner, I moved my hands and felt my way through the mediation, almost like a small dance. I’d started doing this for a while but never with another person. At the end of the meditation, my partner had an emotional release. I had no idea what was happening but it was wonderful to watch and for her to experience it. This session made me realize I was working with energy. That year, I meditated a lot and I felt an opening of energy going through me. I was not under the influence of anything and it was purely through meditation. It is a humble connection I lean back into every day.

Learning Pure Energy Healing and then other modalities has given me a better understanding of my experiences. Of all the modalities there are out there, I am happy I learnt healing through the ones I went with.

Healing myself and receiving healing from other healers has been important in my life. It has helped take me from anger, confusion and pain to calmness, clarity and release. It takes me to a place of awareness and a higher love. As time goes on, this connection to love and light gets stronger and amazing things happen in my life. There are ups and downs in life and healing doesn’t take the downs completely away — these are vital to our experience of learning on this earthly plane. Instead, healing strengthens us, clears us, guides us and helps us stand stronger on our own two feet, supported by benevolent energies.

It’s important to me that I remember to be thankful for this experience and understanding. Aside from being thankful and humble, I want other people to experience a similar healing too. In their own ways, if it’s for their highest good.

Whenever I offer healing, my goal is to go beyond sharing healing. I want to also help strengthen the connection a person has with themselves and their higher selves. This is so they can listen and tune in to their inner self, their heart and their higher self and know what it is they need so they become their own healer. I want to learn and share, to see myself and others in a self-sustainable position, and to see people love themselves.
