Curious about energy and energy work? Heard about Reiki, Healing Touch or Alchemical Alignment but not sure what they’re about? Let’s chat about it and I’ll fill in the gaps on what you’ve always wanted to know about energy work!
What is Energy and how does it affect your life?
Have you ever felt like everything is just lined up and things flow? You feel good. Actually… you feel GREAT! Your path is clear, things are in the right place at the right time with the right people. You feel genuinely happy. You try not to analyze it too much because it is so nice just to feel this way and enjoy it! This is how you are more likely to feel when your energy system is open, flowing, and balanced.
Have you experienced the times when you intend or ask for something to happen, and boom, it miraculously lines up? I just had this experience the other day. I emailed a doctor that I would like to possibly consult with, and later that day happened to bump into her and was able to introduce myself. This is divine energy flow!
Conversely, you may have experienced times when you feel stressed and down. Nothing seems to be going right and everything feels like a misstep or an obstacle. This is how it can feel when energy is blocked.
Energy is more than what you experience. You are energy. Your energy field emanates from the core of your body, from the bottom of your spine to the crown of your head, outwards. When you are connected to the higher energies, which are the limitless earth and divine energies, your whole body feels more expanded, and your mind feels clearer. It is easier to be in that place of seemingly effortless joy and flow.
Energy around you
Do you know how you can walk into a place and instantly feel affected by it at a gut level? You either like the way the place makes you feel, or you don’t. Some rooms feel jovial, warm and inviting, other feel contracted and unappealing. This is you picking up on the energy there and the way that it affects you.
More examples of picking up on energy include thinking of someone and just a minute later they call or sitting in traffic and feeling someone looking at you and turning your head to indeed find someone looking at you!
Energy is part of holistic health
It is believed that a disruption in your energy field can be felt by you or by an experienced energy medicine practitioner BEFORE illness and symptoms actually manifest in the body. In fact, through the mind-body connection, stress that is not dealt with becomes stored in the energy field. And stress is as large of a cause of illness as any other factor. So, giving yourself regular energy ‘tune-ups’ will help as a holistic, preventive health strategy and will also help you to stay in that place of luscious joy, flow, and connection on a more frequent basis.
Reiki, Healing Touch and Alchemical Alignment are techniques which can help balance and align your energy. Your trained practitioner can help facilitate the process and can even teach you some self-balancing strategies.
Here is a simple energy meditation that you can try in order to experience being grounded and connected to the higher energies, also known as being in the flow! Energy is a part of everything, and it is helpful to begin to learn how to work with it in order to improve your life. Please let me know if you find this information to be helpful! I also invite you to schedule a custom energy work session so you can experience energy on another level.
