Energy-inducing movements activate systems within your body that, over time, reduce your risk for cancer and other chronic illnesses – helping you become more resilient overall.
Energy-focused groups such as 5Rhythms and Core Energetics convey a vision of the body as an intermediary through which healing energy flows, drawing from both Western vitalist traditions as well as contemporary interpretations of quantum physics.
1. It Strengthens Your Immune System
Moving your body can set powerful processes into motion. Exercise regulates insulin and hormones that may fuel cancer development; reduces chronic inflammation that increases disease risk; and supports immune function which allows the body to recognize abnormal cells faster and respond effectively. Each workout represents an investment in immune resilience which, over time, adds up to significant protection.
Exercise alone cannot build immunity in such a way as to keep you healthy; that’s because the immune system is complex and stimulating one component may come at the expense of another – for instance, strenuous physical activity while sick may increase risk by producing stress hormones which overload the system and increase infection risks. That being said, light movements such as walking or yoga might still feel good while speeding recovery time.
4. It Strengthens Your Relationships
This fifteen minute practice is an effective way to rejuvenate, and restore energy levels. With just 15 minutes dedicated to this energizing workout, it will leave you feeling invigorated to take on the world and discover your destiny.
Zoehrer (2018) highlights that energy-focused movement-based practices remain understudied anthropologically; however, energy is an integral concept within holistic healing traditions such as Core Energetics (CE), 5Rhythms, and New Age groups. These practices rely on sensing vibrations and frequencies to access healing energy that circulates throughout our bodies and access its healing benefits.
CE and 5Rhythms practices draw on Western vitalism, esoteric magnetism, as well as modern scientific discoveries of vibrational frequencies, electromagnetic fields, and quantum mechanics – creating alternative yet not unprecedented understandings of healing and medicine.
