The Power of Energy

You may have heard of energy healing or energy work and wondered what that’s all about. We are made of energy, and I like to envision that energy as water. When a lake is still, the surface is smooth and clear. But when the water is choppy, muck from the bottom is stirred up, and the current can carry you far from the shore, away from what your heart desires. The purpose of energy work is to bring back to balance what is causing disturbance in the energetic waters. I like to use a variety of modalities to harmonize energy. This may include reiki, which is the Japanese art of healing touch; subtle energy work, which utilizes a guided visualization and the imagination to identify blockages and disturbances and process them; dream journals and analysis because often our subconscious attempts to reconcile our waking life through our dreams; and even past life regression, which utilizes a meditative state to access the root cause of a specific pattern, which, depending on your belief system, can be interpreted as a past life or simply a metaphor for what is playing out currently. Once the energy is harmonized, then we create new beliefs to replace the outdated ones causing disturbance. With mindfulness, we can begin integrating these new beliefs into our everyday life to create the life we desire.
