Our Energy System
Our body includes an energy body that is just as real and just as complex as our physical body.
Our energy body is composed of universal life force energy that flows within and surrounds our body. We are alive because life force energy is flowing through us. The energy flows through our torso and our arms and legs. It forms circuits and flows into our body in some pathways and out in others. It flows through meridian paths and energy centers. It flows through and within the major and minor chakras. The aura and the meridian points treated by acupuncture are part of our energy system.
The universal life force energy system is present within all living beings. It is a part of and nourished by the Divine spark of life that is present within and surrounds all of us.
Energy Healing
Thoughts, emotions, beliefs and memories also exist as real energy that is stored unconsciously in the energetic and physical body. When negative emotions or thoughts are not released they can:
- Build up and eventually cause physical problems.
- Cause blocks in our energetic system that prevent free flow of energy.
- Prevent growth of our emotional, mental and spiritual being by stacking up ‘old baggage’ that blocks our growth.
Negative emotions and thoughts themselves do not cause physical problems, it is our resistance to feeling and letting go of the emotions in a constructive way that causes the problems.
Think of how stress, anger, anxiety or fear feels in your body. You may feel a queasy stomach, sore shoulders or neck, a headache, acid reflux, a tightness in your throat, weakness in your knees or muscles, just plain upset ….. or some other symptom. Our bodies are designed to let us know through our feelings what it is that is bothering us – SO THAT WE CAN FEEL AND RELEASE THE ENERGY, PROMOTE HEALING, AND AVOID ILLNESS.
Your energy system is integrally intertwined with your physical body. Energy Healing is meant to harmonize and balance your energy system. It helps to release energetic blocks and resistance that is ready to move on, so that emotional, mental and physical healing can take place.
Reiki, Integrated Energy Therapy (IET), and Pranic Healing are three of the many Energy Healing practices that are used to focus intention for healing in our energetic system. The practitioner and client ask God for healing and focus their intention on balancing and harmonizing the energy system.
Reiki, IET and Pranic Healing are discussed with more specific detail in the Categories section of this site.
