 What Is Energywork? By Ariel F. Hubbard, Holistic Health Practitioner
Your Massage Therapist has given you a lovely massage and you feel completely relaxed. Suddenly, the feeling in the room changes and you feel a strong feel of love and peace. You look up and see that your Therapist is passing her hands around your body, and you feel her touch even though she isn't touching you. You blink--still, her hands are not touching you, but something is happening. You ask her what is going on, and she says with a smile, "I'm giving you energywork."
What is energywork? This is a general term for a collection of healing modalities that use positive energy to promote healing in your body, heart, mind and spirit. The Energywork Therapist recognizes that there is electro-magnetic energy flowing around and through the body in very specific currents (called meridians in China and nadis--pronounced "na-dees"-- in India). When those currents are interrupted, they create an imbalance in the flow, and if allowed to persist for long enough periods, can create pain and even disease. If you balance out that flow, the problem shifts and health returns, when the root of the problem is fully addressed. People who do energywork recognize that the body, heart, mind and spirit are connected and that each aspect of us influences the others. If there are imbalances on one level, they may appear also on another level, so that you need to address the root of the problem in order to fully help it heal.
In energywork, we don't use the word "cure" because we recognize that the recipient is the person doing the healing, and that the energyworker is passing through healing energy to assist them to raise their frequencies, but the recipient receives the energy and uses it to heal themselves.
Often what happens in an energywork healing session is that the Therapist gets to know the client and what is happening in their life, and then after centering and grounding themselves first, begins to send positive energy to the recipient. This energy first raises the vibrational frequencies of the client so that imbalances can be located. This positive energy then helps the client release blockages and then flows new positive energy into the areas where energy was released to charge, balance and harmonize the client so that they feel good after a session.
There are many types of energywork, and they all have a different approach, including Reiki, HighSelf Resonance Therapy, Jin Shin, Pranic Healing, Crystal Healing, Color Healing, Shamanic Healing, Homeopathy, Network Chiropractic; many of these traditions are new, but some are very old.
Often energywork can address pain that never seems to go away, or hurt feelings that seem to linger in ways that physically-oriented therapies cannot. Many therapists combine energywork with massage sessions to balance out the treatment. Some clients who have been in psychotherapy have reported that energywork sessions helped them resolve issues that they had never resolved after years of therapy; that was because the root of the problem was addressed.
Energywork has some marvelous applications, there are some amazing areas where we have seen energywork successfully handle issues like overcoming fear, speeding recovery from surgery, healing pain over lost loved ones, healing during radiation or chemo treatments, releasing intense negative emotions, and helping clients reinstate their trust. This cutting-edge modality will be used more and more in combination with more conventional medical treatments in the years ahead. One modality, Reiki, is currently used in or referred by 50 major hospitals across the U.S. (Per Ellen DiNucci)
Energywork has been used all over the world for many years, and is currently experiencing growth in the United States.
When seeking out an energyworker, it is good to work with someone experienced. Many energyworkers are self-taught and rely on their divine connection as guidance in their sessions. However, it is important to work with an energyworker who is centered and connected with positive energy or a Higher Power so that the focus is positive. It is also important that they are grounded (connected with the Earth, present and fully aware) so that they can pass through energy in a balanced way. Some energyworkers have been trained at school; it is always a good idea to ask someone about their education and experience.
