So here we go ...
1. HOW WILL THIS ENERGY HELP ME HEAL?
It is believed that a person’s energy should be strong and free flowing. When this is true a person’s body and mind is in a positive state of health. When the energy becomes weak or blocked it could lead to symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance. We have an energy system in and through us called Chakras or focus points where the energy surrounding us connects with us on a daily basis. However, our energy via our chakras can become blocked or weakened due to Trauma, mental or emotional stress, false beliefs about ourselves or others, which can then block our personal growth and wellbeing. Balancing these energy points during a healing session can bring about free flowing energy movement throughout our body restoring stamina and vitality to the organs and body systems governed by each Chakra.
The 7 major Chakras found in the human body Energy Field.
Universal Energy takes on many forms according to its vibration or density. The higher the vibration, the more potent the energy. This pure high vibrational energy is what is directed by ‘the healer’ (channel) through the hands, with ‘intention’ (focussed thought/prayer), to share with those in need. This can bring about harmony in the depleted energy fields of organs or systems in the body. The hands of the healer may lightly touch the body of the client of may hover above the body in the area that is receiving the energy at the time.
The vibrational energy of Love is very high and the highest is of Divine Love. Divine Love or unconditional love is the purest vibration coming from the creator source of all that is. It is this energy that has Healing at its core.
How wonderful do we feel when we fall in love? That is high vibrational energy that can heal. We have all tapped into this healing energy when we have fallen in Love, given someone a supportive hug, spoken loving words, or given loving encouragement that has come from our heart centre. The healing centre within us is our Heart Centre, and our intention is the greatest key to the purity of this healing energy that we impart to others or to ourselves.

It is not the healing channel that is doing any healing but the body itself utilising this pure vibrational universal energy to restore balance and harmony.
2. ENERGY HEALING IS ALL IN THE MIND! IF I DON’T BELIEVE IT, WILL IT WORK?
Chances are if that is your true belief, you won’t be seeking a practitioner of Energy Healing.
But in saying that, our ‘conscious’ mind may not be in charge of our body’s needs at a cellular or energetic level. Therefore, our inner makeup will definitely respond to universal energy bringing about balance in areas of need. But, if our mind is open to the receipt of energy healing, the body can respond favourably to our *‘intention’ to accept healing. As for energy making a difference, I mentioned above, that every living thing has and is energy which has a vibration. Even the colours in our spectrum have a vibration which is what is used in Colour therapy, so it is about receiving more of the energy we are part of and bringing about balance. Balance = wellbeing.
*Note: Intention = focused thought. It has been proven that our thoughts are powerful and have an electrical charge that permeates matter including our body. Our thoughts can influence our energy field and enhance or deplete the energy in and around our physical body. Positive thoughts have a positive effect on our energy fields and the opposite is true of negative thoughts. Many experiments have been undertaken by Dr Masaru Emoto of Japan showing the effects of our thoughts on matter.
Keeping this thought, it can be said that our energy levels and health can be all in our mind. In the words of Dr Bruce Lipton (a former medical school professor and research scientist) in his latest book Dr. Bruce Lipton: The Biology of Belief - Where Mind and Matter Meet – where his latest research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a major breakthrough showing that “our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking”. He is now an internationally recognised leader in bridging science and Spirit.

3. I’VE HEARD OF REIKI - WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO?
Both are Energy Healing techniques.
Reiki is a form of energy healing in that it is utilising the Universal energy (Chi or Ki in Eastern countries) to facilitate healing. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means “Universal Life” and (Ki) which means “Energy”. Like Energy Healing, Reiki is not affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice. Reiki was established in Japan by Dr Usui following his long study and meditation into how Jesus and Buddha used the power of God to bring about healing of the sick. A number of Japanese symbols are used/taught that are said to enhance the strength and distance over which Reiki can be transmitted. It is taught usually by people who have passed several levels of training and have been deemed Reiki Masters. Reiki Practitioners are taught to follow a particular pattern of hand placement on or over the body during a healing session, usually beginning at the head or feet.
Energy Healing doesn't necessarily follow a pattern of hand placement as the healer allows themselves to be intuitively guided to where the energy is most needed for the receiver’s body’s energy fields. This allows for each individual’s healing to be divinely guided.
Also hands-on Energy Healing doesn’t require any formal training as such although it is available through some Energy Medicine institutions. Because it utilises universal energy which is free to us all, everyone has the ability to connect with their own healing energy and use it to strengthen energy in ourselves and to help others. Remember it is the ‘intention and a deep desire to be of service’ that are the underlying factors.
4. WHAT WILL I FEEL & HOW WILL I KNOW IF IT'S WORKING?
If you are sensitive to different energies you may feel a number of things, so it depends on the individual. You might not feel anything, but this does not mean that energy is not working. It may just mean that you are not as sensitive to these fine vibrations.
On the other hand, you might have sensations during or after the treatment such as: heat, cold, tingling, buzzing, relaxation, sleepiness, are common. You may find that you sigh and release your breath in a pronounced way during a healing and this usually shows you are releasing old stuck energy which you no longer need.
Your mind may be thinking “‘why am I receiving healing on my torso when it’s my leg that’s giving pain?” Remember that the practitioner will be drawn to whatever area is requiring the healing which may not be the place we feel, but the contributing area, especially as they would have asked that the healing be directed for the highest good of the receiver. Healing is not controlled, but facilitated.
It may happen that some symptoms worsen for a time after the treatment as the energies strengthen or help release old blocked unbalanced areas. You may feel a little emotional or have old thoughts coming to the surface for releasing. Do not be alarmed, this is quite normal as it’s an adjustment time and will last for a short period, after which you will feel ‘different’. It may be like buying a new pair of shoes – a little discomfort until they fit with our feet or vice versa.
Very often the recipient feels wonderful straight after a healing and would just love to stay and keep soaking up the energy. Or, you may feel great but just want to go home and sleep.
It is helpful to drink extra (preferably filtered) water to aid the cleansing of the body after a healing.
You may also want to ask the practitioner if they observed anything while they were giving you the healing. Many will see colours and most will be able to feel the movement of the energy.
5. WILL ONE SESSION HEAL ME?
There have been some amazing results achieved through just one healing session, and you may experience just that, but generally it will take several to feel real change.
Depending on your condition, it may be that you would benefit from regular sessions for an acute condition.
Those who are familiar with the feel of energy may respond faster but that may not be the case. As with any form of healing, response can be greater when we address any lifestyle, environmental or dietary issues that may be contributing to our dis-ease. This can also mean releasing anything in our life that no longer serves us, whether emotional or physical. Like decluttering our home, internal decluttering can leave us feeling less overloaded and shift our energy in amazing ways. Energy healing can be so much more effective when we realise we are a whole being – mind, body and soul.
With all this good work done Energy Healing can be a wonderful addition to our regular health care, - prevention always being far superior to cure! You can’t overdose on energy healing but allow time between each for adjustments to settle.

In Conclusion–
More often now we are hearing of the use of Energy Healing or Energy Medicine to treat imbalances in the physical mental and emotional bodies of us humans, as well as the animal kingdom and the Earth in general.
Why is that you may ask? I would suggest:-
(a) That people are searching for natural non-invasive ways to approach healing, becoming more aware of the effects strong drugs are having on them, and particularly with the prescription of multiple drugs. This often leads to more medication to counteract the side effects of those prescribed for the intended condition, overloading the body, even making it toxic while it’s trying to heal and rebalance. An overwhelming situation indeed!
And
(b) We humans are becoming more sensitive to the harsh environment around us, and to all kinds of energies, beneficial and detrimental. We are becoming more mindful of the chemicals in our environment and our food, and also the effect computers, cell phones and other electronic equipment has on our own energy fields.
Thus we’re looking more for foods, lifestyles and healing practices that support our totality rather than diminish and create more stress and dis-ease.
The responses I receive from my clients who come for Energy Healing leave me feeling very humble. That I can be a channel for divine high vibrational energy that is intended to do the highest good for each person who seeks is a wonderful experience for each of us.
I invite you to experience Energy Healing with me for yourself. Contact me today via my website www.nurtureyou.co.nz or call me on my Mobile 027 240 9853. I look forward to being of service to you.
