Understanding The Energy Healing

What we should now about energy healing.

In this article we are not going to talk about what is energy since we already done it in another post , so please for more information about energy and human energy bodies please read The Human Energy System and Energy Bodies article. It is good to know and accept that energy is neither positive nor negative, either good nor bad, Energy is energy, it can be in different forms and shapes or frequencies and still be energy. We as human beings like to label things so we can discourse about them or compare them. So the term positive or negative energy is not because the energy is bad or good, evil or light, in energy healing these terms are used to indicate when a healer uses energy flow to heal so that is called positive energy and when energy is trapped, blocked, discordant or disharmonious it can be referred as negative energy.

Energy healing has been used from very ancient times and civilizations both in religious practice and and healing.  Different beliefs may have some ingredient in how the energy works or who energy healing should be done. However, they all do the same and all are focused to balance the flow of energy in human body and between chakras, to open the flow of energy so that body will function in healthy shape. Some times because of emotions, accidents (physical or mental) not just physical body get affected also the energy body does get affected by these accidents and causes, and in these cases energy can be blocked or trapped in some part of body which will led to develop some sort of illness, discomfort of any kind. Studies how shown many people suffer from emotional pains, pains that feels physical but in the same time they have healthy physical body, these could be an example of energy being trapped. 

And now you may ask what is the role of energy healer, and how that helps to unblock negative energies and heal illnesses. Well we can put it in a very simple way, the healer is the connection and additional flow of energy (positive) which supports the block energy (negative) to start moving and flowing in a balanced way, in order to do this healing sometimes it is needed to flow in the energy and flow it out, And it is usually done by hands.  

Issues and conditions that can be treated by energy healing.

Energy healing can improve and heal variety of issues and discomforts such as emotional, mental, and physical like sadness, depression, discomfort, stress, anxiety, spasm, pains, dis-functioning organs, unbalanced health, and in some cases a lot more serious illness and issues. Remember our body is like a electronic circuit all the connections should be clear and well connected in order for electrons to move and every part functions correctly, a little disconnection may cause very serious issues that we cant even think of the reason could be so simple. Imagine drinking water is very good and healthy suggestion that all doctors do suggest to their patients however drinking of too much water will cause loosing minerals such as sodium and very likely ending up very ill and dead, in the same time consuming of salt, sodium , is not considered as a healthy choice and been told to avoid as much as possible, but body needs certain level of sodium to function correctly, Energy healing does effect the functioning of any part of the body that is in unbalanced mode, and that may cause another part to react differently therefore it may health an illness and discomfort that we could not even thought it can be healed. 

Learning about energy healing techniques.

I believe throw history we have heard and seen many types of energy healing either using hands or not. Mostly hands are used in energy healing, one of the well known energy healing techniques is Reiki which Reiki itself has different styles such as Usui Reiki, Kundalini Reiki, Tibetan Reiki, Karuna Reiki, Angelic Reiki, and Rainbow Reiki. Remote healing,  Psychic surgery and Massage therapy are some other forms of energy healing as well, in energy healing either with touch or no touch energy can be transformed from a host to an other, however usually the healer is the connector rather than the source of the energy therefore the healer is not loosing any positive energy as a matter of fact they get more positive flow of energy because they are connected to universal positive source of energy. 

Simple techniques of energy healing that we do in daily bases.

Now we learn about energy healing I am sure every one of you would like to have hands on this ancient knowledge and use the benefits of our own abilities which we have been born and created with. You may have not been pay attention much and mean time have been using energy healing all the time, just remember how many times when something happened your parents hugged you and instantly you felt lifting a pressure out of you, or a touch make a pain almost gone or reduced noticeably. A loving word fixed you up instantly like you didn't had an emotional discomfort. Imagination and though of being and caring about someone how it helped them in a journey that you may have heard from soldier that they claim they believe it was because of their moms prayer and protection that this or that didn't happened to them. Well yes you have been already experiencing and using energy healing by instinct, and that is because this is who we are and that is what our body and mind is capable of, we are born to support each other and this is an other reason to proof that to ourselves. 

Now try these simple and quick techniques to improve your health and situations in daily bases.

When you have an opportunity to hug a loved one or anyone who you feel okay to just go for it and give it a sincere and loving both giving and receiving hug, remember energy needs to flow so be a giver and the receiver, feel and imagine the positivity flowing through you.

When you have some sort of pain or discomfort put your hands on the area and relax your mind, focus and imagine flow of the healing energy, and you will feel less pain almost instantly. This techniques does work very well if a loved one puts their hands on the area, simply because they sincerely wants to support you and get you out of the pain, and they may be much more in comfort and relax mood than you are in the pain, also they make a connection between universal positive energy and you.

Practice and study to be a healer.

I am sure many of you that have read all of this article have some interest on learning more about energy healing, maybe just to know more, or improve your life, or support others. To learn energy healing I always say there is no solid rule written on the stone although some practices believe that is not true and a healer has to go through some processes and follow some rules in order to heal and give healing. Well if you are interested on studying this subject in professional level and know about many discipline  and techniques then you it would be better to find a healing master and learn from them, nowadays there are many who called themselves masters so they can teach others and that is your choice to choose what to learn from who you learn, However, I invite you to explore your inner world your calling, instinct and feelings find it  in yourself without being thought, and when you have found what you have been seeking you can study different subjects and techniques from courses or healers. I recommend reading some books about energy healing, healing hands, healing code, and Reiki. Also online courses are very good source to begin with as well.

Introduction to Chakras and Energy Vortex

Introduction to Chakras:

Perhaps many of you have heard of chakras and have idea or know what chakra is and where they are located and maybe more. Here in this article I will go over the basic information of chakras such as what is chakra and meaning of it, also where they are located and each one is standing for what purpose or meaning. Chakras are known as 7 main chakras, however. there are more chakra spots in our body than 7, in fact we can consider every inch of our body as a chakra, and these seven chakras are considered as the large and main chakras.

What is Chakra and where are they located:

Chakras from Sanskrit means wheel or circle, and are energy centers on our physical and our energy body which are working as a doorway or receptors to our inner self and our being. If you remember from the last post and energy body, we have some sort of magnetic fields around us and they have different layers which can be seen by specific cameras in different colors, major part of chakras are located in and on our physical body however chakras like the root and crown are located in our energy body or aura, which sometimes you may heard that they are outside of our body, however. since we know that our body is not just the physical therefore they are still on and in our body, and each of them creates energy vortex and are the doorway to absorb outside energies or sent and project ours to outside, also to circulate our own energy to make it flow and actually these chakras and vortexes are created because of the flow of energy each live being has. 

What is Energy Vortex:

Basically energy vortex can be imagined as a whole that energy is spinning and getting into or projecting out of that spot. The vortex means whirling moving rapidly round and round imagine something like tornado, each chakras has spots in our body which are live energy vortexes, and  can absorb energy or project our energy out. By understanding of this fact you pretty much have the idea how energy healing works on body as well as feelings generated from our environment and people we meet, Although the human body has more energy posts and chakras still we focus on 7 main chakras which have their own meaning, vibration and reaction to that vibration that's why they are showed and known by different colors since colors have their own vibration and meaning.

Seven (7) main chakras and their properties:

Here are list of seven (7) main chakras and their location in our body as well as some basic

information and properties of each chakras. in the future we will go over each chakra in more detail and talk about how we use our knowledge about chakras, and what now that we discovered another part of our body that we didn't know much about, and we will talk about some healing techniques and  the role of chakras on daily interactions and environmental effects and emotions that is transferred or created in us.

The Human Energy System and Energy Bodies

Understanding of Energy

First and foremost it is good to clear the meaning of energy, according to general physics energy never been created and nor destroyed it is been transferred and transformed from some type to another. Mostly everyone is familiar to Atomic energy, heat,light,current, and wind as of energy well it is because these our most used types of energy resources however in reality everything is considered as energy, science knows as much as everything visible to eye or invisible is basicly group of similar atoms with same signature. Atoms can vibrate in different level, which is actually the electron that vibrates and number of electrons and protons in the atom also makes it unique, and normally number of electrons and protons are equal which makes atoms electrically neutral. The number of protons in an atom is defining feature of an atom, it is what makes one element different from another. Now we know that generally Atom is energy and everything is made out of atom, therefore everything is energy in essence. Very interesting and important characteristic of atoms is that 99.999999999999% of an atom is empty space, so now the question is if only 0.000000000001% of an atom is solid that means anything we see is only 0.000000000001% solid and 99.999999999999% is empty, just imagine the wall front of you if it is 99.999999999999% nothingness then how other solid objects aren't getting right through it, this rises the understanding of vibration which Albert Einstein has in his theories if we can shift our bodies molecular and atomic level vibration we can pass through something or we can be invisible. The vibration of the atom makes the illusion of solidity, imagine a fan rotating very fast all you see is a solid rounded plane, something similar is happening with atoms, therefore we interact with different elements in different level based on their atomic structure and vibration. Now that we understood the energy and elements around us including ourselves are a sort of energy, it is easy to understand how everything have some sort of influence and affect on everything else in surrounding, we will talk about feng shui and energy healing and more in future articles, and for now we will go over the basic knowledge of human energy body system and blueprint.

Five Layers of Human Energy Fields

Energy bodies are known as five main layers including physical body which is well known to everyone. However, the spiritual plane body itself contains different layers which we call it subtle bodies, and mental body could be separated to two layers which is lower mental and higher mental. if you are asking where all these layers and bodies are coming from which is very great question, and here is the answer; as I explained earlier in this article about energy and vibration and how atoms are vibrating and creating a physical and solid matters in the same time they have magnetic field generated around themselves, which basicly we call it aura, the human aura is that electromagnetic field surrounding the body which consists of multiple and different layers and by using advance technology and cameras it is possible to take an image of aura layers which will show the layers in different sort of shades and color, those layers are the energy body layers.

1- The Physical body

Lowest in frequency Regulates the human body. And generally we think of ourselves as physical body which is the first layer of existing body, so this article may help you to understand there is more to yourself than what you see and feel by touching our skin, and perhaps you may realize that we have more senses than 5 since those 5 senses are only from physical body, we will talk about other senses in future posts.

The Etheric body

This layer is blueprint for the physical structure that it surrounds. There is also an etheric human energy field for the soul. And everything that exists in physical plane has its own subtle etheric body counterpart. The human etheric body is the vibrating web of energy from which our energetic blueprint is created. It is also gray or gray-blue in color and it also has been referred to holograph of physical body.

The Emotional Body

This layer regulates the emotional state of the organism. and it is unique to each individual like the fingerprint, it contains all our emotions and feelings including those created by unresolved issues from other life times or from our ancestors and whom of our moms. The emotional body functions outside of third dimensional reality and so has no recognition of time.

The Mental Body

Mental field which contain lower and higher mental fields, processes ideas, thoughts and beliefs. Lower mental stores and transmits all our thought patterns and mental processes. The higher mental body is the layer of energy linked to heart chakra dn is therefore a bridge from physical to the spiritual layer.

The Spiritual Body

Spiritual field or plane contains Ketheric body, Celestial body, Etheric, Astral body. 

Etheric template holds the highest ideals for existence.

Celestial field accesses universal energies and serves as a template for the etheric fields.

In the spiritual body level there is a merger of all aspects of all the subtle bodies as well as the essence of the physical, and is linked to crown chakra.

Causal and Soul Bodies

beside these fields and bodies there is Causal body and Soul body 

The causal body is the layer of energy beyond the higher mental body and is linked to the throat chakra and the causal chakra at the back of the head. and This is the doorway to higher consciousness and links to personality to the collective consciousness of the planet.

The soul body holds the essence of our spirit, the part of us that is a God like inspiration and spiritual visions filter down to the soul/
