There are many ways for you to improve your overall health and well-being. One of them is to engage in energy work. You can choose from a wide range of energy work options where most of them incorporate a wide array of ancient techniques. Energy work is one of many old healing forms that exist until this day. This healing technique comes in many forms and originates from ancient ser and shaman practices several centuries ago. Nevertheless, this type of healing technique focuses on promoting and balancing out the flow of energy found in the body. It is a holistic approach of healing, taking into account movement and breathing exercises, food/diet and herbal remedies, self-awareness and meditation practices, and lifestyle changes that aid in the healing process. Here are some of the most common types of energy work that you can consider if you want to improve your health and well-being to optimal levels.
One popular energy work technique is Reiki. It transfers and guides the universal energy called ki, qui, or chi with the use of the practitioner’s hands or palms to promote proper healing. There is a fixed number of hand placements that are used by practitioners to do this energy work technique. Meanwhile, other practitioners let their intuition guide them to where healing needs to happen or where there is blocking of energy flow. A Reiki session involves balancing the seven Chakras. This energy work technique can be accomplished with direct hand contact or with the hands a few inches away from the body. Reiki practitioners also use breathing techniques and empowered Reiki symbols to facilitate in the healing process.
Polarity therapy is another energy work technique that aims to find fixed, blocked, or unbalanced energy caused by stress and other factors. When energy is blocked or unbalanced, the person will suffer from diseases and pain. Energy blockage in humans often begins at a subtle level. Eventually, it manifests at denser levels of the body tissues like fascia and muscle. Polarity therapy considers health as a reflection of the condition of energy in the human body. There are three kinds of energy fields that the human body produces. These three include spiral currents that begin at the navel and expand outward, transverse currents that run east to west in the body, and long line currents that run north to south in the human body. This therapy aims to address issues of the physical, emotional, and mental health and well-being of a person with energy-based exercise, bodywork, diet, and self-awareness techniques.
Lastly, Qigong is another energy work practice that balances and cultivates the energy, qi, ki, or chi for the maintenance and promotion of health. The technique uses movement exercises, breathing exercises, meditation, and self-awareness practices. Its goal is to master the mind with self-aware of your body, emotions, and mind. It opens your heart with compassion and gratitude. With awareness and mindfulness, you can rid yourself with negative emotions. Negative emotions are qi hinderers, blockers, and causes of suffering and pain on the part of the person.
No matter what type of energy work practice you choose, you can attain well-balanced health and well-being when you select the right instructor and follow the proper techniques.
