What is Energy Healing and How Does it Work?

Updated: Jun 28

Everything in the universe is made up of energy. Imbalances in our personal energy system can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments. Energy healing works to restore balance to the body's energy system.

There are many different types of energy healing, including Pranic Healing, Healing Touch, and Quantum Touch, Reiki, Chakra, Sound, Crystal Healing, to name a few.


While the techniques and methods used in each approach may differ, they all share the belief, the body's natural healing mechanisms can be activated through the manipulation of energy.

"Energy healing is not a miracle, it is a skill. We are born with the ability to heal ourselves and others, we just have to learn how." - Caroline Myss

How does it work?

Everything in the universe is interconnected, and our bodies are not just physical entities, but also energetic ones. Imbalances, or blockages in our energy fields can cause disruptions to the flow of energy, which can lead to emotional and physical ailments, illness and disease.

Energy healers use a variety of techniques to help restore balance to the body's energy system. Some techniques involve the use of the hands to manipulate the energy fields around the body, while others involve visualization, meditation, or the use of crystals and other tools.

Energy healing has been known to reduce pain, anxiety, and depression, and many illnesses and diseases. It helps to activate the body's natural healing mechanisms, such as the release of endorphins and the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. By reducing stress and promoting relaxation. It may also help to lower inflammation and improve circulation, which can have a positive impact on your overall health.


"The body is a self-healing organism, so it's really about clearing things out of the way so the body can heal itself." - Barbara Brennan, NASA Scientist and Energy Healer

It's become a popular alternative therapy that works well alongside modern medicine. While modern medicine focuses on healing the symptoms, energy healing focuses on the prevention of illness and disease, by keeping the body's energy systems working effectively.


Beneifts of energy healing include feeling more relaxed, energized, and balanced after a session. If you're interested in learning energy healing, it's important to find a reputable teacher. Learning energy healing can be fun, approach it with an open mind and a willingness to explore the possibilities of healing yourself and others.
