What is Energy Healing?

When I was first introduced to the world of energy healing, it was never my intent to become a healer. I was led by many circumstances to an energy school in Ottawa called Inner Focus, and even though I knew nothing about the world I was about to enter into, there was just something that drew me to it and a greater part of me that seemed to be leading the way towards something I had always been searching for. The name Inner Focus appealed to me since my own inner world at that time was in great turmoil to the point that I thought I had no other choice but to end it all. My personality was symbolically staring at a brick wall and couldn’t see anything that. I needed to learn how to rise above all the drama and negativity in my life and take what we now call “The 10,000 foot view” of what was really going on within me. It was in energy school that I met my now husband Steve and where my whole life began to change.

The basic principles of energy healing are based upon the belief that everything that has ever been created in the physical world first began as energy. This energy is said to originate with Source (God, Allah, Spirit, etc.) Whatever name you choose to give it, it is that energy that exists at a vibration so high that it is impossible to detect with your five, physical senses. As a healing journey progresses, you begin to tap into your own personal gifts of being able to detect and work with these vibrations.

Our main energetic field is made up of our aura and chakras. A healthy energetic system will create a healthy body, but not just the physical one. We are multi-dimensional, multi-layered beings that also operate from an emotional, mental and spiritual perspective. If we have a free flow of energy into and out of these different layers, we will be healthy in all aspects. Energy blockages though can distort the field and cause dis-ease in any of these layers.

Energy medicine seeks to rebalance these energies and allow the free flow of emotions, thought forms, belief systems and positive energy to flow back into the physical body. This is typically done by running high vibrational energies through the hands into the energetic system to clear blockages. In our school, we teach many different techniques and modalities on how to do this. In my next article, I will be talking more about how Energy Blockages occur and what you can do about them.
