Energy healing offers alternative methods to improving mental health and regulating stress in our day to day lives.
While other talk-based therapies, such as psychology and counselling, offer great tools and techniques to help make improvements in your life, they often lack the practical element. They can help you realise what you need to change but often fall short of answering the question of how to implement the changes you want to see bloom in your life.
That’s where energy healing comes in. It’s a holistic health approach which integrates the body’s subtle energy systems with the physical, emotional and mental systems to create true balance in body, mind and spirit.
Here are 5 types of energy healing practices which can help you alleviate stress and come back into balance on a day to day basis.
- Physical Energy Practices
You can bring harmony to your body, mind and spirit through various types of movement and physical therapies. There are practices which span a broad range of cultures and timelines.
Tai Chi, for instance, is an ancient Chinese martial arts form which helps cultivate your life energy, known as Qi. Through slow, graceful movements, you can encourage your body’s energy to flow naturally and bring all your energy centres back into balance.
Other types of energy healing modalities, that also centre around the physical body, focus on bringing restoration through the senses or through various types of touch. These include:
- Aromatherapy
- Ayurvedic Medicine
- Reflexology
- Feng Shui
- Iridology
- Lymphatic Drainage massage
- Craniosacral Therapy
- Healing Touch
- Mental Energy Practices
Energetic practices that harness the power of the mind differ greatly to physical practices, though they can often be combined into a multi-layered, integrated approach.
The most commonly known mental energy healing modality is meditation. The benefits of meditation are numerous, especially when living in today’s high paced society!
Not only can meditation help you calm down and instantly relax, it is a simple practice that you can do at any point in time and in any location. Whether you choose to focus on your breath or simply observe your thoughts floating in and out of your mind, you’ll reap many benefits by meditating frequently.
Other mental energetic healing practices include:
- Past life regression
- Hypnosis
- Visualisations
- Affirmations
- Dreamwork
- Binaural beats
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming
- Spiritual Energetic Healing
There are a number of types of spiritual energetic healing that are not as well known as the physical and mental practices mentioned above. If you’re looking to bring unity and balance to body, mind and soul, these cannot be ignored in our opinion.
One of the more common types of spiritual energetic healing modalities is Reiki. Dating back to the early 20th century, Reiki is a traditional Japanese form of energy healing. This practice taps into the life force energy that flows through all living beings.
In practice, it involves a trained practitioner channeling universal life energy to stimulate balance and integration of the body, mind and spirit.
Other types of spiritual energy healing also tap into different energetic realms to facilitate an integrated healing approach. These include:
- Angel Healing
- Shamanism + Indigenous healing
- Intuitive healing
- Spiritual coaching
- Akashic record healing
- Ancestral healing
- Energetic Meridian Healing
Meridians form a core part of Oriental medical lore dating back many centuries. They describe the energetic lines which run through the body like roads or vessels connecting various areas of the body.
Some examples of meridian energetic healing modalities include:
- Acupuncture
- Acupressure
- Qigong
- Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT Tapping)
- The Healing Code
- Trigger Point Therapy
- Vibrational Energetic Healing
At our core, all living beings are made up of a number of cells each vibrating at a certain frequency. Every thought, feeling, emotion and sensation we have boils down to, and can be measured as, a frequency or wavelength.
There are a number of energy healing techniques which operate at this level, realigning the cells through vibrational frequencies. These include:
- Vibrational medicine
- Vibrational essences
- Dowsing
- Crystal healing
- Crystal beds
- Sound healing
- Chakra Healing
- EMF balancing technique
- HeartMath
