What is energy healing? It’s a practice that’s growing in awareness now more than ever. When done with care, it can help bring your vibrational energy back into balance, guiding you back to your true self by creating a deeper sense of ease, peace, well-being, and purpose.
What Is Energy Healing and How Does It Work?
At the most basic level, our bodies are made of energy. We naturally generate a flow of electromagnetic energy, which creates an electromagnetic field around us. At times that field can fall out of balance. Modern science uses tools like EEGs, EKGs, and MRIs to look inside the body, but with energy healing, no tools are needed.
Our energy field creates an aura around the body, and many gifted healers report being able to sense or even see it. When you’re sick or out of balance, an energy healer can often tell, and can help you release the stagnant or heavy energy so you can begin to heal.
Psychology Today describes the view this way: illness can result from an imbalance or blockage in the body’s vital energy, and by clearing the blockage or stimulating the flow of energy, the body can begin to heal itself. In her work with depression, for example, Dr. Chiasson describes it as a disconnection between the energy body and the physical body, and she works to “ground” a person’s energy lower in the body.
Benefits of Energy Healing 
There are many reported benefits of energy healing. Here are a few of the top ones people describe:
- Promotes harmony and balance
- Relaxes the body and releases tension
- Breaks down energy blocks and balances mind, body, and spirit
- May support the body’s natural detox and immune system
- Clears the mind and improves focus
- Helps you sleep better
- Supports spiritual growth and emotional cleansing
- May strengthen the body’s natural self-healing ability
Energy Healing Techniques You Can Practice at Home
A great way to heal imbalances in your energy field is to trust the guidance of a professional energy healer. There are also ways you can practice energy healing yourself throughout the day. Here are a few examples:
- Practice kindness. Be gentle and kind with everyone you encounter today. If you feel you’ve been unkind to someone, reflect on why. Ask your higher self for understanding of why you reacted the way you did, then take a few breaths and release that energy.
- Get in tune with your own consciousness. Pay attention to what’s going on around you and within you in the present moment. Meditation is a great way to do this.
- Practice gratitude. Take a moment to acknowledge everything you’re grateful for, no matter how small or big.
- Let go of worry and anxiety. Worry and anxiety can create an imbalance in your energy field. Think about what’s causing your anxiety, reflect on your emotions, and release them with each breath you take.
- Release angry emotions. Anger is a strong emotion that can take a toll on your body and mind. Because it’s unpleasant to be with, many of us push it away or pretend it isn’t there. Find healthy ways to express it, like calmly communicating your needs or working to understand others better.
