Feeling stressed, tired, anxious or craving something naughty? It could be due to a blockage in your body's energy field. That's the main premise of energetic medicine. But what is energetic medicine and how does it work? Let's delve deeper.
Your Body's Energy
According to energetic medicine, we all have an external energy field. If this field is out of whack, we can experience stress, cravings, irritability, cravings, lethargy and other nasties.
What is Energetic Medicine?
Acupuncture, homeopathy and biofeedback all come under the umbrella of "energetic medicine". These modalities approach energy in different ways to help the body heal itself.
Other energetic medicine modalities include:
- Colour therapy
- Core energetics
- Craniosacral therapy
- Crystal therapy
- Emotional Freedom Technique (EMT)
- Energy healing
- Feng shui
- Kinesiology
- Magnetic field therapy
- Pranic healing
- Polarity therapy
- Reiki
- SFEF kinesiology
- Touch for health
You may find your practitioner offer several energetic healing techniques, depending on what your body needs.
How Does Energetic Medicine Work?
Energetic medicine (also known as energetic healing) aims to improve imbalances in the energy field. Once the blockage is cleared, the body is able to heal itself and bounce back to balance. Each energetic medicine modality approaches this premise in a different way. I've tried kinesiology, reiki and energy feeling, and found all to provide tremendous relief and – indeed – clear blockages.
How Might Energetic Medicine Benefit Me?
How you benefit from energetic medicine depends on your ailment and the approach taken. For example, core energetics may help you heal from past traumas. Feng shui can be used to cleanse your living space and attract positive things into your life, while colour therapy may stimulate your energy centres. Perhaps the best thing about energetic medicine is that it can help you heal areas that you didn't even know were blocked. The release of energy and rush of positivity is something that modern medicine simply can't (naturally) provide. Why not give it a try and see if it works for you.
