There are many types of energy healing, ranging from EFT or emotional freedom technique to Reiki healing. Sharing information about these subtle energy techniques can be difficult though, for understanding comes from experience more than anything else.

Energy healing has been around since the beginning of time, but in our modern languages there are not many words that support these spiritual concepts. How then do we explain to others the subtle energy concepts?

The English language doesn't have many words to describe subtle energy. Many of the words used by the energy healers are in fact derived from the ancient eastern cultures that supported energy awareness and spiritual concepts, such as Buddhism.

Acupuncture is one form of energy healing, and is based on the understanding of the energy meridian system known in Chinese medicine. This system, much like electrical lines in the body, has been known and practiced for thousands of years. In more recent times our modern western technologies have confirmed these energy lines, finding that there are differences in the subtle electrical impulses at the different acupuncture points.

Reiki is one of the more common forms of energy healing. Reiki uses universal energy to energize and clear energy blocks from the body, mind and spirit. This technique, which originated in Japan, is practiced by doctors and hospitals as a complimentary treatment alongside their typical surgical or medical procedures.

Prayer is also a form of energy healing, using thought and intent to aid in the healing process. Many studies have been conducted on healing with prayer and without, and those studies have shown that the recovery time is shorter for those who received thought-filled prayer.

Energy healing is nothing mysterious. Energy can be the electrical charge in the cells of the body, your thoughts, or your memories. Healing is simply restoring to a state of wholeness. There are many more modalities of energy healing and many who believe these methods of energy restoration really do work.
