What Is Energy Healing?
Energy healing, also known as energy work, is a type of alternative therapy used to heal the body, mind, and soul. These practices are grounded in the belief that life energy flows through us and around us at all times.
Our bodies are made up of energy fields, and imbalances in these fields can manifest as physical, emotional, and mental health issues. Energy healing practitioners use a variety of techniques to influence and balance these energy fields with the intention of restoring health and wellness to our entire being.
Energy healers often work with chakras, which are energy centers in and around the body where physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energies meet. They also work with meridians, or energy pathways, connecting to organs, glands, and other bodily systems.
There’s a wide variety of energy healing methods that are taught and practiced around the world. Some common examples of energy work are acupuncture, Reiki, Pranic Healing, Quantum Touch, Qigong, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Bioenergy Healing, to name a few. The type of energy work varies depending on the practitioner's experience, the person being healed, and the situation.
Energy Healing Has Been Practiced Globally for Thousands of Years
The history of energy healing is long and diverse, with roots in many indigenous cultures and traditions around the world. Many ancient civilizations believed in the existence of a life force energy that flows through the body and is connected to physical, emotional, and spiritual health. They developed a range of practices to help restore balance to this energy and encourage healing.
Acupuncture, which originated in China more than 2,000 years ago, involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of energy (also known as Qi/Ki/Chi) and empower the body’s ability to heal. Some believe acupuncture and other forms of energy work were being practiced long before our recorded history.
There are many ancient practices that involve working with the body's energy systems. Ayurveda, or “The Science of Life” in Sanskrit, originated in India over 5,000 years ago. This ancient healing science focuses on diet, lifestyle, the use of herbs, and other natural therapies to balance the body's energy systems. Reiki, a Japanese healing technique, involves the transfer of life force energy through the practitioner to promote healing in the recipient.
Other indigenous cultures around the world have also practiced energy healing. There are many Native American and African energy healing practices involving rituals, crystals, and natural remedies to restore balance and health in the body’s energy systems.
While this ancient wisdom of indigenous cultures has been suppressed, various forms of energy work are now being rediscovered and practiced in alternative and complementary health care centers around the world.
The Scientific Evidence of Energy Healing
It’s more common to hear anecdotal evidence of how energy healing helped free individuals from life-long battles with physical and mental illness. However, there are also numerous scientific, peer-reviewed, randomized placebo-controlled studied that have emerged in recent years showing that energy work can provide measurable benefits to our health and well-being.
Mike Sententia, founder of Healing Lab, shared some good examples of scientific studies on energy healing. He lists experiments of energy healing affecting the heat and acidity of water, helping E. coli recover from heat shock, allowing human bone cells to receive more calcium, stopping the spread of cancer in mice, improving the longevity of plant clippings, speeding up the growth of seeds, and reducing anxiety and pain in humans.
Together, these and other experiments prove that working with energy has a measurable effect on our physical world.

Energy healing has been found to help with a wide variety of illnesses and ailments that are often interconnected. It may not immediately cure all issues simultaneously, but instead it begins a process of allowing your body to begin to heal itself. The speed of recovery depends on the severity of the issues and the willingness of the patient to believe in the healing, release limiting beliefs, shift in consciousness, and often make lifestyle changes.
A common phrase among energy healers is “All Healing Is Self-Healing.” Energy healers facilitate the healing process, guiding your body, mind, and soul into health and well-being.
Energy healing can help you in treating just about any pain you are experiencing. This includes:
Physical pains such as headaches, toothaches, infections or pain in the joints, muscles, or body

Emotional pains such as guilt, shame, insecurity, or excessive anger or sadness
Spiritual pains such as feeling alone, lost, disconnected, broken, unlovable, or hopeless
It can also help with more severe issues like chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, cancer, or other diseases.
Energy healing can be an alternative to more conventional methods of healthcare, or a complementary therapy to improve the effectiveness of other forms of healthcare. It’s important to listen to your intuition and follow what feels best for you.
Moving from a state of pain, discomfort, and disease to one of complete well-being, freedom, and ease is a truly life-changing experience. I hope you feel inspired to take this journey of tapping into your body’s natural healing abilities so you can enjoy a life of health, happiness, and peace.
