Energy healing modalities such as intuitive energy healing and Reiki involve the transfer and direction of universal life force energy to help clear, strengthen and balance the energy field and it's corresponding pathways to facilitate, support and speed the healing process. But what exactly does that mean? What is the energy field, and why is it important? And how does clearing, balancing and strengthening this energy field affect our health and well-being? In other words, how does energy work, work?

Everything in the universe is energy at it's most basic level. Each of us has our own unique energy field -- our own unique energy pattern or vibration that surrounds us, flows through us and emanates from us. While this energy field is very complex, for our purposes today we will  break it down into two simple components.

First there is the part of the energy field which is created by you. Created by your thoughts, your emotions, your actions, your beliefs, and your experiences. Created by the electrochemical processes occurring within your physical body. Created by your very existence. This part of your energy field that emanates from you is often referred to as the aura. The chakras are also a part of this energy field.

The second component of your energy field is the universal life force energy flowing through and around you. Just as blood flows through your circulatory system, bringing nutrients to cells and removing harmful wastes, universal life force energy travels along a myriad of pathways within your energy field. This life force energy not only nourishes and supports every cell of your body, it provides nourishment and support to you on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels as well. Each of these aspects of your being are intimately connected to each other, and a problem in one can have an effect on the others. When the flow of life force energy within your energy field is disrupted, blocked, or out of balance, the healthy functioning of your energy field is impaired. This impairment can then manifest as mental, emotional, physical or spiritual issues within your life.

Furthermore, our energies respond to and are affected by the energies of others and in our environment. They can also be affected by our experiences and our life circumstances. Every thought, every emotion, every experience that we have, and every belief that we hold has an energy vibration that can potentially affect our energy field. And just as toxins can build up in our blood stream eventually poisoning the entire system if the body's systems of elimination are blocked, so our energy fields can become a toxic wasteland if we hold on to emotions, thoughts, and energy patterns whose time is past.

Energy therapies such as Reiki and Intuitive Energy Healing, help to restore the healthy balance of the energy field and its associated energy pathways, clearing blockages and addressing imbalances, thereby facilitating health and wellness, keeping the healthy flow of energy moving through your energy field.

Many people find energy work to be a beneficial tool for chronic and acute pain; enhanced mental clarity; relaxation and stress management; depression and anxiety; spiritual growth and connection; an enhanced sense of inner peace and well-being; release of unwanted patterns and energies, improved immunity, recovery from surgery; support during times of transition or challenge; life purpose and direction; and healing from abuse, trauma and neglect.

Reiki and Intuitive Energy Healing are safe non-invasive energy healing techniques that are suitable for children, adults and animals. During a healing session, the practitioner places their hands lightly on, or slightly off the body to channel and direct the flow of universal life force energy for the recipient, clearing blockages, restoring balance and 'charging' the system with additional universal life force energy, much like recharging a battery thereby facilitating healing and wellness for body, mind and spirit.
