There are a number of fundamentals with respect to energy healing which are important to understand as a framework to any discussion. Keeping these fundamentals in mind is useful, but keeping an open mind is much more useful and practical. A skeptical attitude or predisposition will on the other hand not be very useful or productive in any discussion of this topic.

The basic concept of energy healing is that there is more to healing than just a physical aspect. Emotional, metaphysical, or other dimensions are relevant to the healing process and to overall well-being in conjunction with the physical elements in the equation.

Thus, the concept is that energy healing, or energy channeling, can help someone to heal more effectively and more promptly and it can also help people to become ill or unwell less often!

Part of the confusion about this topic is that there are many forms of healing which are billed as energy healing and these are supported by different interpretations and theories about how our energy might be employed and utilized from a health perspective.

Sadly, there are also those who perhaps overstate and mislead for financial gain, which does the reputation of effective healers no good and allows skeptics to dismiss the effectiveness of these forms of healing for whatever reason or motivation.

Perhaps one of the most popular forms of energy healing is Reiki. This is not by accident as the process of Reiki embraces many of the energy theories from a variety of healing energy approaches.

In Reiki, energy is defined around the Chakra system, a series of energy channels strategically located throughout and in the vicinity of the physical body. Each of these Chakras influences different aspects of our physical and emotional health.

Any blockages in the flow of the life force or energy are caused by blockages of these Chakras so in Reiki healing the process of healing involves addressing the optimization of energy flow through the Chakras. One important feature of Reiki is that the energy in question is always the energy of the recipient of the treatment themselves. No energy is transferred from the practitioner. Instead, the practitioner works to eliminate blockages and optimize energy flow.

Is energy healing a valid approach? That is still an open question, but there is no arguing with the fact that conventional medicine is increasingly turning to various forms of alternative treatment as a complement to conventional medical practices which is an endorsement in itself!

The beyond few years my spouse Mary, and I were on a “Divine Journey.” We have long past from mainstream professions; me in secondary schooling and Mary a monetary supervisor, to opportunity and religious healers. Our aim nowadays is extrade people’s minds approximately intellectual illness. It became and remains an exceptional adventure, one which we in no way envisioned.

My profession commenced in technology schooling, which I agree with gave me a very good basis for drawing conclusions primarily based totally on studies and data. In fact, in my Ph.D. dissertation I used studies known as a meta-evaluation look at to advocate options to medicinal drugs for intellectual disorders. In our divine adventure, this became the idea on how I got here to conclusions; studies and data.

Our adventure commenced whilst Mary commenced having psychotic episodes of listening to voices and seeing spirits that had her dedicated to psyche wards on separate occasions. However, whilst psychotic medicinal drugs had no results and doctor’s checks could not give an explanation for her bodily signs we commenced looking for different answers. We located that shamans, psychics, and electricity healers may want to give an explanation for what became occurring and heal her. We additionally located that maximum of them who helped Mary may want to see that she possessed an extraordinary electricity subject and became a talented healer herself. This electricity subject she has became what became attracting poor electricity that became attacking her and making her sick. As Mary were given higher she studied opportunity recuperation techniques along with reflexology, Reiki, EMF Healing and Reconnective Healing, that I institution collectively as “electricity recuperation” strategies.

Of course, being a “scientist” my predominant query became, “Do those electricity recuperation strategies truly do anything, or, is it simply that the consumer believes that they do and this is why they get hold of blessings after the method is performed?” This is what we name the “Placebo Effect.” A affected person obtains blessings from a remedy due to the fact they agree with withinside the remedy. When pharmaceutical businesses take a look at a brand new drug they use double-blind scientific trials so as to try to save you the placebo impact from interfering with observable consequences from the brand new remedy being tested. However, even if sufferers are taking a sugar pill (unknowingly) instead of the real remedy, they regularly gain consequences. Therefore researchers want to look vast variations among the manage institution (no remedy or sugar pills) and the institution taking the actual remedy.

When Mary became getting higher after every electricity recuperation method I of course, being a scientist and a psychologist, believed it became the placebo impact. This isn’t always always a horrific factor whilst a person is getting higher, that is the factor of having a recuperation. However, on the time we have been spending a whole lot of cash on and traveling to those electricity healers all around the country. I desired to make sure they have been truly doing something, and not “shamming” us. Just as I did after I became gaining knowledge of my first book, I commenced seeking out posted research at the effectiveness of electricity recuperation.

I became capable of locate some of scientifically managed research that concerned electricity recuperation and the placebo impact. The research appeared to have seemed in technical journals on the time whilst electricity recuperation strategies along with Therapeutic Touch and Reiki have been turning into popular (1960’s) and researchers have been thinking their effectiveness.
