Typically, therapy (of any kind) is designed to help you identify your wounds. Once you find those wounds you can begin the healing process. Unfortunately, for many people, there is no blueprint that shows you how to go about healing those wounds.

What can help you heal old wounds, though, is energy healing. The idea of energy healing is often met with skepticism, though many are also curious about it. We want to address both your curiosity on the subject, as well as your skepticism.

First of all, what is energy healing? It’s the practice of using the body’s energy to remove blockages to allow the body to heal itself. Ancient cultures have been studying the body’s energy since the beginning of time. Reiki is a Japanese practice that can be traced back to the early 20th century.

Hindu texts describe our chakras and in traditional Chinese Medicine, meridians are the focus of acupuncture. The point is, all of these cultures recognized the importance of the body’s energy.

To show you exactly what that means in practice, let’s take a look at 5 ways energy healing can serve you.

1 – Better Digestion

One of the greatest benefits of energy healing is how it influences your cells. Ultimately, if your cells are happy, then your organs and digestive tract will operate optimally. That’s good news for your whole body.

Just think about the issues that come with poor digestion – you may have bowel issues such as constipation or deal with indigestion and heartburn.

We underestimate just how important our digestive tract is to our overall health and wellness. Constipation leads to mood swings and headaches, while heartburn can impact your ability to sleep at night.

2 – The Law of Attraction

It’s all about making yourself a manifestation magnet. When you achieve balanced energy, your soul will be fully aligned with yourself. This healing opens you up to attract the good in the world and repel everything else.

Energy healing is the key to the law of attraction. If your mindset and experiences attract the same back… then it’s vital that your energy is positive, otherwise, you are unknowingly attracting negative energy and events into your life.

3 – Improved Intuition

Every one of us has built-in intuition. How connected we are to it is an entirely different story. When you talk about your instincts or your gut talking to you, it’s your intuition.

Self-awareness is the key to hearing and understanding the inner voice that is guiding you. Energy healing will help you do that, as well as create an open mind and allow you to get in touch with your intuition on a deeper level.

4 – Weight Loss

When your body functions properly maintaining your weight is a cinch. This is because your body naturally releases toxins, but when you have blockages… it isn’t as simple as that. Energy healing can purge those blockages to clear trapped feelings and emotions that drive your cravings.

Clear those blockages and you will avoid overeating. It’s easy to understand why you’re carrying extra baggage when you experience blockage clearance through energy healing.

5 – Pain Relief

Energy healing practitioners work with your body’s energy to clear residual tension. The energy at the core of your body will shift and release all of those tensions and blockages, thus relieving your pain.

You might just be surprised by how many blockages and how much tension you have stored in the tendons, muscles, and joints of your body. Energy healing is one of the most effective ways to purge that tension and restore your body to balanced bliss.
