# Adding Energy Healing Modalities to Your Therapy Toolkit

People in recovery often find that adding energy healing modalities to their therapy toolbox enhances and deepens their experience. From acupuncture’s meridien work to breathwork and mindfulness practices, holistic therapies like these balance the body’s energy systems to promote relaxation while supporting emotional and physical wellness.

 Chronic diseases and dysfunctional conditions of the body often stem from emotions that remain locked in, including digestive issues, genitor-urinary conditions and pain in the musculoskeletal system.

 

## Emotional Release Therapy

 Emotional release therapy (ERT), a body-centered form of emotional healing, can assist those struggling with chronic stress and anxiety as well as those dealing with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or trauma-related conditions – not to mention those looking for ways to make positive changes in their lives but feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda both recognize how the relationship between emotions and physical symptoms cannot be separated. Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda teach that unprocessed emotions interfere with vital energy flow within the body causing physical symptoms to surface; Wilhelm Reich’s revolutionary “body armor” concept revolutionized our understanding of this relationship – noting chronic muscular tension was linked with emotional issues corresponding with emotional struggles; combined with craniosacral therapy this therapy method of Somatoemotional release can effectively address emotional blockages leading to poor health and wellbeing.

 An Emotional Release Technique session typically entails using specific prompts (like phrases that you say out loud or visualization exercises that you complete) from your practitioner to assess emotional issues in both your nervous system and subconscious, then using muscle testing and tapping techniques similar to Emotional Freedom Technique, your practitioner will guide you through releasing any trapped emotions.

 It can be a gentle yet profoundly transformative experience; clients have reported feeling an immense weight lifted off them and an increase in ease and tranquility in daily life. One major benefit can be stress reduction; as releasing stored emotions allows your nervous system to switch out of high alert mode and back into calm mode. Others report having more emotional resources available to cope with life challenges more efficiently while experiencing improved relationships from becoming emotionally available.

It can be combined with mind-body therapies like yoga, meditation, massage therapy and acupuncture for optimal results. For those suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other forms of trauma-related conditions, this therapy offers an effective alternative treatment without forcing you to revisit a painful event over and over.

 

## Muscle Testing

 Emotional energy is stored in our tissues, particularly our ligaments and tendons. If we experience difficulties in our relationships, arguments with partners or anger-induced tightened muscles cause us to experience emotions such as pain or discomfort which in turn trigger our emotions further. Gentle Release Therapy works to release these feelings allowing energy to freely flow, healing the body at the same time.

 Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) is used in health care for many different purposes by medical, osteopathic, chiropractic, physical therapy, rehabilitation and athletic training professionals to identify what are believed to be immediate neurological responses to various challenges and treatments. MMT differs from standard orthopedic and neurologic assessments in which only maximum force production by muscles is assessed using handheld dynamometers.

 AK MMT practitioners believe that muscle strength does not directly correspond with its force; rather, its resilience lies more in how well its nervous system adapts to increasing pressure. Being able to maintain contraction despite fatigue is considered an indicator of health; rapid decrement in ability to contract is seen as weakness.

 As opposed to MVIC testing, which relies on pressing as hard as possible by an examiner, MMT employs submaximal forces applied by patient. This technique typically involves having them stabilize into an appropriate position before pressing against a relatively stationary pad or strap with an attached force transducer that measures force transduction. Although not as accurate as using dynamometers, its results are more reliable in reflecting what actually occurring within their muscles.

 Leisman et al9 used a computerized dynamometer to compare the reliability of physician- and patient-initiated AK MMT procedures regarding muscle force. They discovered both techniques tended to mischaracterize weaker muscles as stronger than strong ones; however, the differences were not clinically significant. Furthermore, duration is another key consideration in studies on AK MMT.

## Breathing Techniques

 From acupuncture to meditation, many health professionals swear by deep breathing techniques to reduce stress and promote relaxation. A quick online search for “breathing exercises” will yield numerous options; each with different advantages. Therapists, doctors and even yogis all cite how deep breaths help lower blood pressure and heart rate as well as ease anxiety levels.

 Orgone Therapy was pioneered by Wilhelm Reich, an Austrian psychoanalyst and student of Sigmund Freud. Unlike hands-off energy healing modalities like Reiki which work by channeling energies from healer, Orgone Therapy involves direct manipulation of body tissue to release emotional tension and energetic blockages – this makes it far more intense and requires significant training to become effective.

 Recent research demonstrated the power of breathwork to significantly boost both mood and recovery, particularly when focused on exhale-focused cyclic sighing. Furthermore, daily sighing was found to increase improvements in mood.

 Breathing is an essential bodily function, providing oxygenation and carbon dioxide exchange while supporting life itself, yet studies on its effects are scarce. Researchers are only just starting to grasp its significance as part of mind-body communication.

 Stressful situations often prompt us to breathe faster and shallower, increasing cortisol levels and prompting our fight-or-flight responses. Conversely, when we are relaxed and centered our nervous systems produce hormones which slow heart rates, lower blood pressure levels, and calm our minds.

 Breathwork and psychotherapy combined can produce remarkable healing results. If trauma has become stored both physically and psychologically, energetic release can add significant insight into self and accelerate trauma recovery processes.

 When it comes to energy healing, make sure that you select a certified practitioner from a reputable establishment. Read reviews and request referrals; speaking to your healthcare provider also may help. While energy healing should not replace conventional medical care, it may help ease withdrawal symptoms, support mental health and addiction recovery and teach coping skills for healthy living.

 

## Touch

 Energy surrounds our bodies, just as emotions do. Emotional release therapy is an excellent way to restore equilibrium to this energy flow and help the body heal itself and feel at peace once more.

 Energy can manifest in various forms, from physical symptoms such as stomachaches or headaches to emotional numbness or hypervigilance. Our sessions use energy healing modalities that can address these issues holistically for improved emotional and physical wellness.

 Studies show that energy healing practices can stimulate the body’s relaxation response and help create a healthier, more balanced state. They may also restore natural levels of serotonin and dopamine which have become depleted in people struggling with addiction.

 At Energy Healing Solutions, we employ various energy healing techniques to assist our clients with these issues, such as breathing exercises and applying pressure to certain parts of the body that have been known to relieve pain and stress. These include working with pressure points commonly associated with headache treatment as well as Reiki energy to bring peace and healing to clients.

 Touch is an intriguing sense, because unlike many others it seems inherently multisensory. Furthermore, it appears to have more of an agential component than other sensory inputs, with active exploratory movements often guided and voluntary being required for active touch perception. This might explain its unique qualities compared to more typical cases of mediating perception; and makes it worthy of further examination and study in its own right.

 At Montgomery Counseling Group, we specialize in trauma and holistic healing by blending traditional psychotherapy with energy work to support the emotional and physical well-being of our clients. Our therapists are adept at using various energy healing modalities such as Orgone Therapy developed by Wilhelm Reich (an Austrian psychoanalyst who studied under Sigmund Freud). Orgone Therapy helps release energy blockages that have built up in your body such as emotional tension or trauma manifested as tight muscles or fascia – potentially helping relieve this tension or trauma that causes tension or fascia tightness to release blockages within these organs.
