Energy Healing Therapy
What is energy healing therapy?
Energy healing therapy applies to any form of therapy that involves energy, whether it is based on the belief in vital force, Qi or the belief in Reiki.
It is one of the oldest and most widespread methods for treatment of physical illness.
In this approach the healer uses a type of energy that is sometimes called vital force or healing energy.
Vital force is the energy of the patient that gives him/her strength to heal.
The healer facilitates the emergence and strengthening of this energy for the patient, thus empowering him/her to heal.
The patient’s chakras receive the energy, which serves to vitalize his physical body and more especially his endocrine gland system, thereby bringing about physical health.
Energy healing can also be used either to transmit helpful ideas that may affect the patient’s mental attitudes or to guide the patient’s subconscious mind for healing his physical body. Several types of energy healing impulses can be sent: intuitional, mental or emotional.
These types of therapies are focused on healing the patient’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy. All energy healing therapies are very spiritually based and belong to the esoteric therapies
Most forms of energy healing therapies are also based on the belief in pressure points on the body that relate to corresponding organs and pathways inside the body in which the energy travels (the pathways in the body are often referred to as meridians and the points are often termed chakras).

What are the benefits of energy healing therapy?

Energy healing therapy offers a variety of benefits, including many physical benefits as well as mental benefits. These can include the following:

Relaxation: this applies both mentally and physically.
Healing: most energy healing therapies do not actually heal, but they correct the body’s
flow of energy so that it is better able to heal itself.
Prevention: by correcting the body’s energy flow, the body is better able to defend
itself against illnesses and injuries.
Overall well-being: once a person’s energy is balanced, s/he usually walks away
from an energy treatment therapy feeling rejuvenated.

Theory of the chacras and different planes of energies:
In traditional yoga philosophy, the chakras are subtle force centers that vitalize and control the physical body. The Sanskrit word chakra means "wheel", indicating that these force centers are wheels of energy. The following methods of esoteric healing are based upon the chakras.
Corresponding to the division of the physical plane into dense and etheric portions, a person’s body has two portions:
The dense physical body is composed of solids, liquids, and gases, including such parts as the bones, blood system, nervous system, brain and endocrine glands.
The etheric body vitalizes or energizes the dense physical cells; it is the transmitter and receiver of esoteric healing energies.
The etheric body is below the threshold of consciousness and is generally recognized only in terms of vitality or lack of vitality.
The chakras are force centers within the etheric body, and there are seven major chakras and 21 minor chakras.
Following are some of the functions of each of the seven major chakras:
The crown chakra vitalizes the cerebrum (or upper brain) and anchors the consciousness stream from the causal body (or soul), enabling a person to have self-awareness. When developed, it registers wisdom, insights and spiritual purpose.
It is said to be situated "just above the top of the head"
The brow chakra vitalizes the cerebellum (or lower brain) and central nervous system (which consists of nerve fibers within the brain stem and spinal cord). When developed, this chakra focuses wisdom, insights, and spiritual purpose (all received via the crown chakra), which then can be used to control the personality.
It is said to be situated "just in front of the eyes and forehead”
The throat chakra vitalizes the lungs and vocal apparatus, and it also registers concrete thoughts from the mental body (received via the solar plexus chakra). When developed, the throat chakra responds to strength and clarity from the causal body (received via the brow chakra), enabling creativity to be expressed in thought, speech and writing.
The heart chakra anchors the life stream, which governs the circulation of blood throughout the body. This chakra also controls the vagus nerve, the largest nerve in the parasympathetic nervous system (which activates involuntary muscles that restore the body’s energy). When developed, it registers compassion, which is experienced as a sense of oneness with others.
The solar plexus chakra vitalizes the sympathetic nervous system (which activates involuntary muscles that mobilize the body for action). This chakra is considered to be developed in an average or ordinary human being, in which case it registers emotions that can incorporate both feelings from the emotional body and concrete thoughts from the mental body.
The sacral chakra vitalizes the sexual life and organs of reproduction. It is considered to be developed in a human being following birth.
The basic chakra vitalizes the kidneys. This chakra also feeds the life-giving principle, the will to live, to all parts of the physical body, resulting in the fundamental instinct of self-preservation.
it is said that the five spinal chakras (throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and basic) are positioned in the "etheric counterpart of the spinal column", which is behind the dense physical body. These spinal centers are at least two inches away from the dense physical
