Let's Talk Energy Medicine
"Energy medicine is nothing weird, woo-woo, mystical, or even spiritual. It is, in fact, physical, based on physics. In 1905, Einstein proved that everything boils down to energy (E = mc2). Every cell in our body runs on electrical energy, and every cell has its own energy power plant called mitochondria. As long as the cell has plenty of positive energy, it's healthy. If it doesn't have enough energy or is infected with negativity, it becomes unhealthy. We can diagnostically measure the energy level of our cells through CT scans, MRI's, and other similar tests."

In other words, energy medicine is simply restoring the positive, healthy energy we need to live a healthier, happier life and releasing the negative energy from our system. Also known as energy blocks, this can lead to illness.
Energy blocks are areas where life force energy (known as Ki, Chi, or Prana in eastern cultures) becomes stagnant, or flow is interrupted. Enter the chakras; Although we have 922 chakras throughout our body we focus on the 7 main chakras; the crown (top on the head), third eye ( center of forehead), throat ( self-explainitory), heart (center of chest), solar plexus (belly), sacral (3 inches below belly button), and root (base of spine). These chakras funnel in life force energy and need to be balanced and cleared to create a clear pathway for the energy to flow to our organs, nervous system, endocrine system, lymph nodes, muscles, and every single cell, photon, and proton in our bodies. Each chakra is responsible for certain organs and areas of our body.
Energy healers such as Reiki practitioners, Shamans, and Psychics can help identify energy blocks that hinder one's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
A number of things can cause energy blockages. Our response to negativity, trauma, illness, drugs, alcohol, stimulants, childhood experiences, our inner dialogue, repressed emotions, memories, chosen perspectives, mainstream media, social media, politics, world events, etc. You get the idea. Lastly, we also absorb negative energy from others, and can create blocks when we don’t practice energetic hygiene.
Energy blocks can lead to illness, pain, anxiety, and depression. Also, addictions, body image issues, and eating disorders, lack of compassion, or difficulty trusting others, narcissism, or too much empathy, insecurity, fear, and lack of belonging. As you can see, energy blocks affect us not only physically, but also emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Consider working with a Reiki practitioner to gain insight into your specific blockages. Once the energy/chakra blockages have been identified, cleared, and balanced with Reiki, you can maintain the balance by eating healthy, avoiding processed foods and drinks, avoiding sugar, drinking lots and lots of water, and avoiding negativity or limiting your contact with negative people, as well as practicing Tai Chi, Qigong, or yoga.
Last, but not least, depending on how stubborn and deep the energy blockages are, you may need to identify their root cause through hypnosis, therapy, or past-life regression. Often, simply becoming aware of the root cause is enough to begin healing and clearing your own energy blockages.
