About Energy Work / Healing Touch / Biofield Work
Several of you have been asking – What is this work …. so here we go……
What is Energy Work / Healing Touch / Biofield Work?
These are a combination of different names that encompass working on the bodies energetic system. They help to restore and balance energy that has been disrupted or shifted due to stress (physical, mental, or emotional), illness, injury, medical conditions, surgery or medical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. The goal of these therapies are to restore harmony and balance in the human energy system by creating an optimal environment to enable the body’s innate tendency for healing to occur.
Energy Work /Biofield Work can be used somewhat interchangeably – techniques originating from ancient traditions and recent discoveries that are used to manipulate the bioenergy of the patient with the goal of restoring harmony or removing blockages from within the body. They encompass an energy based approach to health and healing. They may use touch and/or intention to influence the human energy system, specifically the energy field that surrounds the body, and the energy centers (chakras) that control the energy flow from the energy field to the physical body.
Healing Touch– Healing Touch is one type of biofield treatment. HTis a relaxing, nurturing type of therapy that uses gentle touch to assist in balancing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Healing Touch works with your energy field to support your natural ability to heal, is safe for all ages and works in harmony with standard or allopathic medical care.
What happens when our energy system becomes depleted or imbalanced?
When our energy system is depleted we feel tired, we have difficulty coping and it is difficult for our immune system to function properly.
When our energy system is off balance, the energy that usually flows through and around our bodies becomes congested. For example – pain is congested energy. When an individual has pain, focus may be placed on removing the energy congestion so that the pain level is reduced. Think of times when you have been stressed and how it affected your body. You may have experienced muscle tightness in your neck and shoulders, developed a headache or had discomfort in other parts of your body. Stress causes congestion in our energy system. Biofield work offers a variety of techniques help to relieve that congestion.
How does our body respond to Energy Therapy?
Energy work promotes relaxation. When your body relaxes endorphins are released from the brain, which helps the muscles to relax. When the muscles relax circulation is improved and the increased blood flow elevates oxygen levels throughout the body. This in turn allows nutrients to be absorbed more efficiently, enzymes are built to aid digestion, hormones are regulated, and toxins are released from the body. This allows healthy cells to regenerate and promotes a sense of well-being which then supports healing and regulates the immune system.
Why do you say that Energy Work effects body, mind, emotion and spirit?
We are integrated beings and we cannot separate the physical from the emotional, mental or spiritual aspects of ourselves. When we are physically ill, we are also affected emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Likewise, when we are stressed or emotional about something we often feel it in our physical body such as developing a headache or we have a change in digestion or have difficulty sleeping. Our body, mind, emotion and spirit are who we are as a whole person and we need to take care of that whole person. Healing Touch effects the whole person.

Do I have to believe in this for it to work on me?
No, you can keep your skepticism and it will still work! Your body’s intuitive wisdom will process and benefit from what it knows is for your highest good, whether or not your conscious mind thinks it’s “a little out there”. And remember, your Spirit will automatically “veto” anything that it deems is not in your best interest.

How soon will I notice results?
The energy shifts immediately with the integration, like a light being turned on in a dark room. The overall feeling of relaxation is commonly experienced. Pain relief is often reported after one session. Most people report that they feel much “lighter” after the session. That is because they literally are! Emotions such as depression, anger, guilt, etc. are often released. Once released, the void where those emotions were formerly held may be automatically filled with light, truth, love, forgiveness, and joy. With some issues, you will immediately notice they are no longer there because you are not worried about them anymore. That worry is replaced by peace. With other issues, although the energetic changes are in place, you may not recognize the change right away.
Can Energy Work be done long-distance?
Yes, because energy is not limited by time or distance, it works just as powerfully whether working with someone one-on-one or at a distance.
