Energy is often discussed as a new, somewhat an impalpable therapy. Truth is, it can be a stand alone modality that is as ancient as healing itself. The body is, after all, bioenergetic and seeks to maintain balance. Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, called the body's natural capacity to heal itself “vis medicatrix naturae”, which means “the healing power of nature”. We are not separate from nature; in fact, we are intrinsically a part of the energetic web of all life and all things. Modern science is slowly catching up with this basic understanding historically common to many cultures.
Almost all civilizations share a fundamental belief that life is more than just the biological processes in the body; life is the unity of the physical, mental and spiritual, and is infused with a special life force that gives it vitality. Energy Work seeks to restore, promote, and maintain health and wellness to all those elements by influencing and supporting the body's bioenergetics. These energies are referred to as qi (pronounced "chee"), prana, vital force, life force, 'lan vital, mana and more. When “dis-ease” hits, it is understood as a disruption or distortion of these energies.
