Energy healing techniques like Reiki, chakra balancing and crystal therapy are growing in popularity among wellness trends, providing complementary or supplementary medical treatment.
Practitioners use gentle touch to unlock or direct universal healing energy, such as through Acupuncture where fine needles are inserted at specific points to balance Qi flow.
Reiki
Reiki is a noninvasive, gentle form of energy healing therapy developed during the late 19th century that employs non-manipulative touch to promote feelings of wellbeing. Although Reiki hasn’t been proven to treat any specific illness, some claim it can reduce stress and anxiety levels; pregnancy women, babies and seniors can all safely benefit from receiving Reiki sessions; it should always be discussed with your healthcare provider prior to receiving any alternative therapies – this especially holds true if other medical treatments are already being undertaken at the same time.
Reiki is an acronym consisting of two Japanese words rei, meaning universal, and ki, meaning life force energy. According to practice, there exists a subtle life energy field surrounding our bodies which becomes disrupted or blocked when illness arises; during a Reiki session the practitioner channels and directs this energy with their hands – or alternatively spiritual healing rituals may be employed as part of healing practices such as those practiced by Australia’s indigenous populations for this purpose.
Reiki has long been recognized for its ability to strengthen immune systems and promote overall balance throughout our bodies. Studies also suggest it can reduce pain and inflammation caused by certain medical conditions; additionally, it can make patients more comfortable during procedures like heart surgeries or endoscopies – some hospitals even include it in their complementary health care programs!
Reiki can provide relief whether it be relaxation, transitioning through life transitions, healing yourself physically or emotionally or reconnecting with your higher self. Reiki invites us to live in the present moment by helping replace unconscious reactions with conscious decisions.
Many of our clients come to us with specific health goals in mind, like overcoming burnout or transitioning through life transitions. Others explore reiki as a means of strengthening their personal connection to the universe and finding greater joy and purpose in life. No matter why they decide to explore reiki, you can count on us for support and techniques on their path toward holistic wellbeing.
Chakra balancing
Chakra Balancing is an ancient practice which involves using yoga, meditation and sound healing to balance out your energy centers in your body and restore equilibrium to them. Doing this regularly can help you feel more centered within yourself as well as increase energy and improve overall health.
The chakras are energy centers in our bodies associated with emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Each of them corresponds to different parts of the body and has its own color; some practitioners also believe they influence behavior and thoughts.
Spiritual teachings indicate that imbalanced chakras can contribute to both physical and emotional distress. Such imbalances may impact specific parts of the body or all together – legs, hands, heart, throat. A blocked Sacral chakra could result in issues with reproduction or digestion while an effective Heart chakra balance increases compassion, empathy and love for others while the Throat Chakra facilitates self-expression through communication while the Crown Chakra promotes spiritual connection for a higher awareness.
Benefits of chakra balancing include improved mental clarity, higher energy levels, and a greater sense of purpose. Balancing our chakras also reduces stress and anxiety while encouraging healthier habits – these powerful sources of life force must remain balanced for proper functioning.
To achieve harmony among your chakras, engage in activities that stimulate each one. For instance, to activate the Root Chakra take a walk in nature or do breathing exercises or meditate – or perhaps do an easy balancing pose such as Half Bridge Pose (Ardha Setubandhasana) or Fish Pose (Matsyasana).
Chakras are energy centres located along your spine from pelvic bone to head. Although the exact shape is still unclear, chakras are frequently described as energy centers resembling spinning discs or hanging flowers that hang from it. Each chakra interacts with each other so if one becomes out of balance it could impact how others work; maintaining their equilibrium for overall wellness of mind, body, and spirit is paramount to wellness.
Crystal therapy
Crystal therapy is an ancient healing art which utilizes the energy and vibrations found within crystals to promote spiritual development and overall wellness. This holistic practice uses specific crystals placed strategically around or near the body in geometric grid patterns (grids). These crystals may absorb, focus, direct, detoxify, shift and diffuse energy allowing your body to release any energetic blockages and heal itself in an empowering manner.
Each crystal possesses its own vibration and frequency that resonates with our chakra points to facilitate healthy energy flow in the body. Some crystals have also been linked with specific emotions or feelings; for instance, Selenite has long been recognized for relieving anxiety and promoting relaxation while Amethyst may help soothe an overactive mind. Others can amplify positive energy or help us connect to higher selves or spirits.
Crystal healing begins with an initial consultation where your therapist will discuss your goals and needs, ask about lifestyle factors and health conditions to gain a fuller picture of your overall health and select suitable crystals – either cut crystals with different shapes polished onto them, or more affordable tumble stones which are widely available and cheaper.
Once selected, your therapist will arrange the crystals around or on your body in a grid pattern to encourage relaxation and awareness of sensations within your body. As this healing process requires your active participation, be ready for negative energy to leave your system; this may bring up difficult emotions; therefore it is essential that support is available throughout.
Though scientific proof for crystals’ effectiveness does not exist, many believe they have a beneficial impact on physical and emotional well-being. When used alongside yoga and meditation practices, crystals may provide additional wellness benefits. Plus having them around your home can help reconnect you to nature while feeling grounded; or you could use them strategically place crystals near items of significance that hold personal meaning.
Kinesiology
Kinesiology is a noninvasive energy healing approach that uses muscle testing and the principles of acupuncture to restore balance and reduce stress, as well as helping with pain or discomfort. You can work with an accredited kinesiologist who will use their skill, empathy and holistic approach to ensure you obtain optimal results.
Kinesiology derives its name from the Greek word for “movement.” Kinesiology studies human movement and examines how exercise, ergonomics and body mechanics can improve health and performance. Kinesiology has become increasingly popular as an area of research that can assist people manage injuries more easily, prevent diseases or achieve peak performance levels.
Kinesiologists use manual muscle testing to assess the structure and function of the human body. By identifying imbalances or weaknesses within its systems, they are then able to offer exercises designed to correct them such as stretching or strengthening exercises – even potentially helping clients with emotional or nutrition concerns.
To be an effective kinesiologist, you must possess strong verbal and written communication skills. You should be able to present complex material in an understandable manner for clients; quickly identify and solve problems; while at the same time be sympathetic towards client concerns.
Kinesiology also involves an in-depth examination of physiology, or the science of life. This discipline studies how biological, chemical and physical components interact within an organism as well as their interdependencies that impact one another.
The American Kinesiology Association (AKA) is a professional association which supports academic kinesiology through various applications and its many uses. It seeks to distinguish kinesiology from applied kinesiology – which often incorporates chiropractic, massage therapy and other alternative medicine practices – as a form of healing. Furthermore, AKA works towards encouraging research and development within this discipline through various programs including conferences and workshops as well as offering online resources.
