What is Energy Medicine?
Energy healing modalities utilize techniques that tap into the body’s life force energies. Although these energies cannot be detected with traditional scientific instruments, they have an impactful presence that has an influence similar to gravity. Many energy healers believe these subtle energies provide infrastructure for electromagnetic and physiological systems within our bodies – they could even predict cancer with up to 87% accuracy using voltage irregularities in the cervix energy field as an early warning sign; studies have proven this fact and it now forms an essential tenet of many energy healing modalities.
Energy psychology protocols may stimulate these energies at similar points as acupressure (such as EFT and TFT), but also add unique psychological components into the stimulation process.

What are the benefits of Energy Medicine?
Energy healing (also called energy therapy) can provide many health benefits, from relieving pain to improving sleep quality and mood enhancement. This approach to wellness entails encouraging life force vitality while treating energetic imbalances to restore equilibrium within the body’s systems. Reiki, Healing Touch, Acupuncture and Music Therapy all work to stimulate our invisible biofield that surrounds each of us.
A 2016 systematic review of energy healing approaches revealed that these therapies could benefit many types of pain and symptoms, including headaches, depression and fatigue. Furthermore, studies indicate these practices could also help decrease stress levels as well as autonomic nervous system responses like blood pressure and heart rate.
Energy healing therapies tend to be safe; however, before adding energy healing therapies into your treatment plan for serious or life-threatening medical conditions. Most commonly these techniques can be combined with traditional approaches like physical therapy or medication to effectively address symptoms and treat conditions.
Balanced energy flows help promote immune health and are key components of energy medicine. Qigong and Tai Chi, which combine movement with meditation practices, are integral parts of energy medicine as they can increase vital energy flow to boost energy levels and support immunity more easily. As part of these forms of therapy they also reduce stress responses that cause inflammation to build up within our systems that contributes to illness; making these tools essential in the fight against chronic stress and anxiety as well as being beneficial in warding off illnesses caused by elevated cortisol levels.
