Unlike conventional medicine, spiritual energy healing is holistic. It works on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels to address all aspects of a particular issue or imbalance.
Although most people still associate healing with physical ailments and conditions, conventional medicine now acknowledges how emotional distress and imbalance can cause or exacerbate physical issues.
In contrast, energy healing, including many ancient modalities, is based on a holistic and interconnected concept of human health and well-being. Everything is relevant. Even what you can’t measure. Consequently, energy healing can help you address emotional concerns, clarify or shift your current thinking, and better define your vision or purpose. It can support you through any personal change. In fact, it’s not uncommon for physical issues to be absent from a client’s list of intentions for the session. (See my webpage for more in-depth information on energy healing.)
What Spiritual and Spirituality Mean
Let’s first clarify what is meant by spirituality. This is one of those words that has many different meanings. Some people think “spiritual” or “spirituality” implies religion. But, this isn’t true for everyone.
Through the eyes of a holistic energy healer, everyone has a spiritual side and every action has a spiritual dimension. This is true whether s/he is conscious of it or not. Therefore, people can be spiritual without the orientation of organized religion.
In ordinary everyday terms, spirituality is about our relationship with the divine, universal, and all that there is. But, it’s also relevant to our search for meaning, purpose, or our right path as well as our yearning for more or what’s missing. When we turn toward our higher self or guides for orientation or answers, it’s spiritual. The same is true if we seek spiritual guidance for non-spiritual decisions like whether we should buy that new house or not.
The Spiritual Side of Energy Healing
Energy healing modalities work with the entire human energy field (or energy bodies). This includes energetic components such as the chakras and meridians.
The power of healing lies in the intention and the lifeforce energy channeled through the crown chakra (or Sahasrara in Sanskrit) to a client. Acting as an additional healing conduit, the third-eye chakra (or Ajna) integrates the body and the whole chakra system. The heart chakra (Anahata) opens the body and soul to connect, discern, and receive.
The crown chakra is the connection to universal consciousness, source, and “all that there is.” It is a window through which one receives spiritual guidance. It is also the gateway to the subconscious, which includes the embodied mind and emotions.
The third-eye chakra is associated with intuition and perception. It is related to our openness and ability to learn from experience and integrate the ideas of others. In this way, it’s the center of both conscious and subconscious beliefs.
The heart chakra is a powerful source of receptivity and connection to spirit as well as other incarnate beings of all kinds (people, animals, plants, etc). Many healing and inter-soul communication modalities (e.g., telepathy and mediumship) rely on and draw strength from this center.
While these chakras always act in consort with the other five chakras and the entire energy system, they are more central to personal change related to mission, meaning, spiritual awareness, and guidance. In fact, they are critical to the formation of beliefs and enlightenment.
What most people don’t realize is that we all can and do channel life force energy. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t be alive. The skill of the practitioner lies in her/his ability to facilitate the flow and rebalance of this force. However, the client heals her/himself. Importantly, the healer can also access a broader spectrum of lifeforce frequencies with distinct healing properties to further empower the client to heal.
Two Key Ways Spiritual Energy Healing Effects Personal Change
To summarize, spiritual energy healing affects personal change in two ways. First, as one aspect of lifeforce energy and the human energy field that supports and orients the healing or change process. Second, as an explicit or implicit aspect of the client’s intention.
