Energy Healing; Reiki, Pranic Healing and Chakra Balancing

Introduction

From the Greek word energeia, or the Latin energia, both meaning activity, the power or capacity to work or to empower, that is, to set things in motion (kinetic energy), put things in position (potential or stored energy), and create light, heat, ionizing radiation, or sound. On a metabolic level, for example, when the intake of oxygen combines with the intake of sugar and fat, a chemical reaction occurs in the body that concurrently produces heat, or energy, and cellular waste products, which result in fatigue. Energetics is the science or study of human energy, such as that used in doing work or exercising. The conservation of energy refers to the theory that energy cannot either be created or be destroyed; instead, it is changed into other forms. Bioenergetics is the study of the transfer of energy and the way one living system relates to others; bio dynamics refers to the study of the energy, or life force, of living matter.

Practitioners of other forms of alternative medicine, such as therapeutic touch and Reiki, believe that human energy may be used as a healing modality and can be directed, modulated, balanced, and interfaced with other modalities. With their techniques, they pursue the concept that the transfer of energy from one human being to another is not only a natural event, but a continuous one, whether it is intended to be or not. Intentionality adds to the healing power of energy transfer (Schwartz, Simon & Carmona, 2007).

The plants and trees are important in human life as they also provide us with vital energy.

Reiki Healing

A 3,000 year-old system of energy healing that originated with Tibetan monks. The word Reiki means "universal life force." Reiki practitioners use their hands, without touching the person, to focus energy. The energy might come from the person's body, identifying the location of illness or injury. Sometimes the Reiki practitioner experiences these locations as feeling hot or cold. The energy also comes through the Reiki practitioner to the person, focusing healing where the body needs it. Many people feel profound relaxation and release during a Reiki session and often relief from pain. It is common for both the person receiving Reiki and the Reiki practitioner to emerge from a Reiki session feeling a heightened sense of awareness.

Because there is no clinical substantiation for the effects of Reiki, many doctors tend to be skeptical. However, there are no known risks associated with Reiki when it is a complementary component of ...
