Energy Work: 7 Reasons to Get a Healing Touch Treatment

As a Healing Touch practitioner I often get asked, “What is energy work recommended for?”
Most people are not familiar with the function and needs of the energy body because we didn’t grow up talking about it like we do about our physical body. If we have a broken bone, we know we need to go to a doctor to get it set so it can heal properly. When we are sick we know we need to rest and eat wholesome foods. If our muscles are weak, we know that regular exercise will strengthen them.
But how do you care for your energy body? Obviously getting energy work done will help, but it’s helpful to know what affects your energy body and also the signals it gives when it’s not healthy.
Here are seven reasons that you may need a Healing Touch treatment:
1 – Having surgery
Surgery can be a very stressful experience both physically and emotionally. Energy work before and after surgery helps relieve anxiety and the side effects of anesthesia. Studies also show that wounds and incisions heal more quickly with Healing Touch which can mean shorter hospital stays.
2 – Experiencing anxiety
Feeling anxious? Anxiety can be a sign that the flow of energy is in some way compromised and in need of rebalancing. Almost universally, people feel significantly calmer and more at peace after receiving Healing Touch.
3 – Been in an accident
In my experience, vehicle accidents can have a profound effect on our energy body. If the resulting imbalances and damage to the energy field are not corrected, physical and emotional healing can be long and difficult.
When my daughter was in an accident about a year ago, I was shocked at how much her energy field was displaced when I worked on her that evening. She made a very quick and easy recovery in spite of being hit at about 45 mph by the other car.
4 – Chronic pain or serious illness
Chronic pain that is not responding well to conventional treatments is often quite responsive to energy work. My theory on this is that the underlying cause has not been addressed and may be related to emotional issues that are stored in the energy field.
Healing Touch can also be very supportive for someone experiencing a serious illness such as cancer. Not only does it place the body in an optimal position for self-healing, it also is effective at reducing the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
5 – Feeling Scatterbrained, Out of Balance, Unfocused, Needing Clarity
It’s interesting that the terms we use to describe our mental state are reflected in the state of our energy field. I have often observed when someone describes themselves as feeling “scattered” that their chakra energies are going in all different directions. After balancing and clearing the energy field, clients say they feel more focused, clear and centered.
6 – Experiencing Major Life Transitions
When we experience major shifts in our life such as divorce, a new career, the death of a loved one, or a move, we need extra support for all parts of our being. Healing Touch can help release some of the fear and anxiety around these experiences and also support our overall health throughout these changes. Healing Touch can also help create a peaceful experience for the biggest life transitions: during birth and in the dying process.
7 – Health Maintenance
Some people receive regular Healing Touch treatments (every two weeks or once a month) as a way of maintaining good health or as preventative care. This is something that I do for myself as a part of my regular self-care and I recommend it to anyone who is seeking optimal wellness.
When your energy body is healthy (meaning the flow of energy throughout your body is open, balanced and flowing freely), your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health is strengthened and supported.
I encourage you to seek out Healing Touch or other similar energy work when you are experiencing any of these seven situations. It’s a great way to care for yourself.
