What Is Healing Energy Therapy?

What is Energy Therapy?
By Claire Marie of CMK Energy
You may have heard of energy therapy, but wonder, “what is energy therapy and how does it work?” Energy therapy practitioners hear these questions all the time. Basically, energy therapy is a non-invasive way of shifting and balancing energy so that the body and mind can function as efficiently as possible.
Our energy, called life force or “Chi”, runs through and around our bodies and is focused in centers called “chakras”. When our energy is balanced and running freely, our body, mind and spirit can stay healthy more easily.
Energy work has many benefits, including relaxation, improved pain management, reduction of anxiety or depression, and improved immune system function. Energy therapies like Healing Touch and Jin Shin Jyutsu can also be very effective in reducing stress, which we know can be incredibly damaging to our physical and mental health in a variety of ways.
Imagine a lint screen in a dryer; air moves freely through, while lint and dust particles are trapped. If you don’t clean the screen, those particles build up and can clog it, preventing air movement sometimes causing damage or fire. This same analogy can be applied to the body; the lint screen is like your energy fields and the air is like your energy. If we don’t clear our energy fields, energy can’t flow. Blocked energy could cause dysfunction like immune system deficiency, chronic pain, high blood pressure, abnormal cell growth, stress, depression, anxiety or insomnia.
A basic energy treatment lasts around one hour. The practitioner connects to the client and uses their hands within the energy field to improve the energy flow and clear any areas where energy is blocked. This treatment is calming, since when the body and mind are relaxed, we can accept the process of healing more efficiently. Usually, the end of a treatment brings deep relaxation and a feeling of being energized, without the sore muscles and lethargy sometimes experienced after a massage.
Energy therapy is one part of the whole experience of wellness. We exercise, eat good foods and have regular physicals to stay healthy. In addition, let’s also clean our “screens” for the greatest health of our mind, body and spirit.
Healing Touch
What if you could . . .
* Relieve your anxiety and stress.
* Heal your wounds faster.
* Improve your immune system.
* Ease your pain. Reduce fatigue. Sleep better.
...with just a touch?
With healing touch therapy, relief can be almost that effortless. Stress, illness, injury, grief, surgery, and medical treatments can take a toll on your body. And disrupt your energy field.
A strong energy field flows through and around your body – protecting you from disease and injury. When it becomes depleted, off-balance, or congested, your immunity suffers. It may even leave you feeling drained and sore.
Healing Touch helps revive your energy flow and remove congestion. Encouraging your energy to flow freely to restore your health and relieve pain.
So what exactly is healing touch?
It’s an alternative treatment option that’s been available since the late 1980s. It’s a combination of a number of healing practices including chakra connection and lymphatic release.
This nurturing energy therapy uses gentle touch to assist in balancing your body, mind, and spirit. Our bodies have an incredible ability to heal, but recovery from an illness or injury can take time. Healing Touch works with your energy field to aid your natural healing process. So you can heal faster and more productively.
Imagine resting in your comfy clothes while compassionate hands gently hover on or just above your body. As they move they manipulate the energy in and around you. As you lay, you drift into a deeply relaxing state. This is the effect of a Healing Touch session.
Feeling skeptical? That’s OK. It’s perfectly natural to wonder how someone can help you heal by unknotting energy blockages. Let’s look at the science.
Healing touch improves the quality of life for cancer patients. The results of one study revealed that it may help diminish pain in individuals receiving cancer treatment. (1) Many patients also found relief from nausea, anxiety, and fatigue with healing touch therapy. (2)
For over a decade, Healing touch has helped patients recovering from eating disorders such as anorexia. The relaxing effects of healing touch help them let go and build trust with their therapist. (3)
You may be wondering how healing touch promotes well-being. Well, it’s no question that it encourages you to relax. When your mind relaxes, it releases endorphins that relax your muscles. When your muscles relax, your blood circulation and oxygen improve.
This creates an ideal environment for healing because it promotes –
Nutrient absorption.
Digestive enzyme production.
Hormone regulation.
The release of toxins.
The regeneration of healthy cells.
Healing touch compliments and works in harmony with traditional health care. If you’re ready to naturally balance your energy and find soothing relief – Book a Healing Touch Session.
Jin Shin Jyutsu
Imagine this.
You wake up in the middle of the night to nature's call. You sleepily slide out of bed and drag your heavy feet to the bathroom with your eyes just barely open. You’re just about to walk through the bathroom door when suddenly…
WACK!!!
A stabbing pain shoots through your big toe. Your eyes pop open and you crumble to the floor, clutching your throbbing foot.
When you injure yourself, like in the scenario above, it’s instinctual to place your hands on the area of impact. To soothe your body and alleviate pain.
This instinct to release tension is the basis of Jin Shin Jyutsu – the art of harmonizing the body through gentle touch.
Jin Shin Jyutsu translates to “The Art of the Creator Through Man of knowing and Compassion”. It has been passed by word of mouth for centuries. Long before the birth of Buddha, Moses, and the creation of the Kojiki.
In the early 1900s, it was organized into a structured system of healing by Master Jiro Murai. After he used his knowledge of it to heal himself from a life-threatening digestive disease.
You have a powerful energy current, or “chi”, running through your body. It provides you with circulation to move nutrients and minerals that feed your cells – which keeps your immune system strong and healthy.
When one of these currents becomes blocked, you may feel sore, stiff, or achy. And if left untreated, it may disharmonize the entire pathway of energy flow. This causes more discomfort or disease.
With gentle assists, Jin Shin Jyutsu encourages your mind, body, and spirit to heal naturally. It uses light touch on specific points around your body to restore harmony and balance – similar to acupuncture. This gentle touch helps remove these blockages and restore your chi to its harmonious state.
Reaping the harmonizing benefits of Jin Shin Jyutsu is effortless. All you have to do is lay down fully clothed while healing hands thoughtfully touch a combination of energy points. Contacting these points addresses the cause of the imbalance and repatterns blocked energy.
You may want to try Jin Shin Jyutsu if you are searching for relief from:
Chronic pain.
Migraines.
Hypertension.
Back, neck, and shoulder pain.
Fatigue.
Anxiety.
Hormone imbalance.
Poor memory.
Depression.
Digestive issues.
Nausea
Insomnia.
Stress.
Allergies.
Inattention.
Grief.
I know what you’re thinking, “Will this really ease my discomfort?”
There is evidence that demonstrates the effectiveness of Jin Shin Jyutsu. One study revealed that it can be a valuable tool for managing stress. And when practiced regularly, it may make you feel more:
Positive.
Grateful.
Motivated.
Calm. (4)
Jin Shin Jyustu has also shown to be effective in providing ease to patients receiving cancer treatment. In one cancer study, patients reported that they felt significantly less pain and nausea after just one session. (5) Patients in an acute care setting had similar results, but also noted that Jin Shin Jyutsu helped them feel less anxious. (6)
Pain can interrupt your life and prevent you from being your best self. Fortunately, your solution can be relaxing and effortless. Book a Jin Shin Jyutsu Session to revitalize your chi, boost your immunity, and alleviate pain.
