Energy Healing And Associated Beliefs

By Christine Taylor


When it comes to maintaining a healthy body, mind and spirit, there are a number of ways to do so. In one case, those suffering from a number of illnesses and conditions prefer energy healing opposed to traditional medicine. In order to understand why this is the case, one must understand the beliefs associated with the practice.

In most cases, this type of work is based on a practitioner, whether licensed or otherwise whom has the ability to channel energy. Often known as "chi, " the energy is transferred through a number of methods. These methods include, hands-off, hands-on and distance. While many of these techniques have become popular over the years, the effects of many still remain skeptical when it comes to the fields of medicine and science.

Often considered Spiritual in nature, the practices are not associated with faith healing. While this is the case, those obtaining these healing methods need to have a strong belief in the process. Otherwise, those paying what is often a high price for these services will most likely leave disappointed.

Therapeutic touch or massage, Reiki, Qigong, Distance, Contact, Spiritual and Biofield are just a few areas when it comes to the methods used in this aspect. While not as well known, sound and color forms are new to the arts though often presented at psychic and healing fairs around the world. Events of this nature can often provide a great introduction to these and other methods for those interested in obtaining more information.

The practice is considered spiritual though non-religious and is often always non-denominational. As such, while it does suggest that the recipient must believe the method being used, it is quite different from faith healing. For, most often faith healing requires a religious leader to lay hands on the individual to effect a cure.

There remains a great deal of skepticism, especially in the medical community when it comes to these New Age practices. Although, there are now nursing organizations and nurses whom have accepted therapeutic touch as a valid method and technique. For, there has been scientific and visual proof that the method has had positive effects on a number of individuals.

One area which has the most skeptics in that of distant healing. For, it can often be difficult to believe that an individual across the room, across town or across the world could have the ability to impact someone so far away. As a result, most believe that the process in this area is suggestive rather than explanatory.

Whether one believes in distance or other forms, there has been proof that energy work and healing have had positive effects on body, mind and spirit. At the same time, as with faith healing, only those whom have seen results first hand can attest to these positive aspects. As a result, unless someone has visited a healer in this area, it can be impossible to either accept or reject the art as a viable form.
