Be Your Own Energy Healer

1. It's Age Old... But We Keep Rediscovering It

Reiki's a Japanese ritual created in the early 20th century. It's the practice of using energy to help with issues such as chronic pain or emotional trauma. But Reiki's just one form of energy healing and, in many ways, quite modern. Our seven chakras — AKA our energy transmission centers — were first described in ancient Hindu texts. And meridians – our body's 'energy superhighways' — led traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to develop acupuncture as form of energy healing, which dates back as early as 2500BC.

2. It's Science... But Let's Not Overcomplicate It

What's one of the first lessons in any high school physics class? Matter's made up of molecules. So is a table solid? Yes, but it's also vibrating all the time. And that vibrating matter has energy, which means that we are also vibrating energy... just like the table, a grain of sand, your freshly charged crystals or your favourite teacup that cradles so elegantly in your hands. Now, when you think of someone having "good vibes", you're quite literally talking about that person's vibrational energy. And the higher the frequency, the happier the person.

It's important to remember that places have their own energy, too. Energy that us humans have brought into those spaces which lingers long after we've gone. That's why, whenever you enter a room, you can honestly feel the vibe of the space. You're surrounded by dense energy that's still swirling between the four walls. Perhaps it envelops you, like a warm embrace. Or maybe it makes you want to turn and run...

4. Make Sure To Read The Room

Consider all your options when seeking an energy healer. They're plentiful... and that means you'll come across charlatans. So make sure you read the room & get a vibe check by asking plenty of questions before deciding on a healer. If you're new to this type of healing, start your search by checking in with a doctor that practices complementary medicine, a yoga studio you know and trust, or asking friends that are already on their energy healing journey.

There are many types of energy healing, each with their own distinctive tools and techniques. So to help you on your quest, let's look at a few kinds you may wish to try:

• Acupuncture uses small needles to stimulate the flow of energy in the body & it's entirely painless

• Reflexology soothes obstructed energy and encourages healing by activating points on the feet, hands, and elsewhere on the body

• Massage is an energy healing practice, too — dispelling strain in the muscles & stimulating the flow of blood, which allows for profound relaxation

5. Think Big, Start Small 

The energy we put out is often the energy we receive. We are, in many ways, the writers of our own stories, ceators of our own destinies & manufacturers of our own moods. Thing is, we often forget that we're machines. Elegantly designed, living, breathing machines... but just like our desktop, we can get messed up and overcrowded with junk and disorganised files much faster than we realise.

Cleansing your energy daily can help you keep positive vibes flowing. And you only need 20 minutes. Dedicating that small portion of your day to the practice honours the connections between your mind, body and spirit. Making regular room for their reconnection, because if you don't make time for the things that matter, you'lll never find it.

Start small, so you can commit to daily practice & still get the benefits. Meditate in a bath. Smudge yourself with sage as you repeat a mantra that speaks to your spirit. Take a relaxing but invigorating yoga class. All that can be done from your own home, too.

Just remember, you don't have to be psychic or an expert to start energy healing. And you don't have to meet with a proessional healer, either. All you need to begin your energy healing journey is inquisitiveness and a desire to grow your understanding over time.
