Life's Energy Part 1

After much contemplation I've decided to write my next few articles about the different work that I do. I've chosen to write first about Energy Work not only because it was the first modality that I learned, but also because I knew I would find it the most challenging. And it has been a difficult piece to write.

Energy work is not something that 'I' do. 'I' implies ego, which is something I try my best to let go of when I work with a person. The work that I do gently assists nurtures and guides people in healing Themselves. I do not leap in and remove hurts and discomforts, but instead allow 'life's energy' to flow through me I lay or move my hands over a person's body to allow that energy into their body heal and bring back the natural balance.

Definition time. 'Life's energy' I choose that term because I like it, no other reason. Some people say Chi, Prana, Universal Light, Life Force, Divine Light, The White Light of Jesus, God's Healing Energy and the list goes on and on. All of them are right for the person using them.

So the next question is 'What is Life's Energy?' A person I know once gave me a rather blunt answer to that question, but paints the picture nicely. This person said, and he used the word Chi, "Chi is what's missing when you're dead."

I first began my study of Energy Healing my first classes were Healing Touch, I then learned Reiki, and then Healing Pathways. (Healing Pathways is the United Church of Canada's Healing MinistryHealing Pathways ) I now do a mixture of all of them, which is simply laying-on-of-hands, or what I call Energy Healing.

I use my hands to assess, clear and rebalance the energy field of a person. It relieves pain, promotes relaxation, decreases stress and allows the body to self-heal.

So what is the energy field of a person? Most of us have felt at sometime or another that a person was invading our 'personal space'. Another way of putting it is that they are invading our 'energy field' or 'aura'. It surrounds and protects; it permeates and flows through our entire body. It is our first defense physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and psychically. Disturbances in our energy field, if not dealt with, will seep into our bodies eventually causing illness. Imagine the flu bug floating around your aura, but you're not sick yet. Getting someone to do energy work to cleanse your aura may prevent you from getting sick. It is the ultimate in prevention medicine.
