Why would someone get energy healing work?
There are a lot of reasons to get energy healing. You may not know much about this style of work or why someone would seek it out. Some think its just to relax and de-stress. Well, that can be part of it but it is actually a lot deeper than that. Energy healing can release very intense, stuck, long-held onto emotions, feelings and beliefs from the body and mind. Many times you don’t even know what the emotion is — but you feel the physical stress in the body. That is a sign that something is out of balance. On a mental or emotional level something is happening but it is often in our subconscious. We don’t even know it’s there but we may feel out of whack. By the time you feel physical pains, such as: stiff neck, back pain, tight jaw, heavy shoulders, headaches, dizziness and more, it means those emotions have manifested into the physical body. Most of the people I work with are stuck emotionally and can’t get out of a situation they are in. This may have to do with work, their personal life or a relationship. I’ve seen a number of people who burn themselves out at work and either end up leaving or needing a break. They keep pushing and pushing feeling like the work is never good enough; that they aren’t ever good enough. These feelings of inadequacy serve a purpose for these people.It seems counterintuitive but we hold onto feelings and beliefs because it actually benefits us in some way.
For example, in these cases, feeling like they are inadequate kept them striving to be better and better. It put a fire under them to keep pushing to be the best. There are also many people who don’t feel like they really “belong” or don’t have the right community. This can cause a lot of anxiety, uncomfortableness or stress when in group environments. It creates insecurity with their self esteem and further causes isolation from others or avoidance of social situations. There can be a lot of reasons why this sense of not belonging comes up but much of it stems from our belonging within our own family. A common expression is that someone might say they are the “black sheep” of the family or the “outcast” at school or work. Holding onto this belief can keep one feeling safe from feeling exposed of showing who they really are or that they might be judged if they don’t act a certain way. Whatever the reason, it creates a feeling of separateness that can serve some sense of security. The majority of these patterns stem from how we were raised as children. We pick up behaviors from our parents, the things they taught us and we find our selves doing things unconsciously because we have always operated in that manner. At some point, that way of doing things doesn’t work for you anymore and find yourself up against a wall again and again. Just stuck in the muck and no obvious way out of it. This is where energy work can greatly help release these old emotional patterns that make you feel stuck. Beliefs that you have held your whole life either that were ingrained in you or learned over time can be changed.These patterns are NOT permanent and CAN be shifted.
Where some modalities like massage or chiropractic work on the physical body only, energy healing works on multiple levels of the body including the emotional, mental and spiritual energy bodies. Within these levels are conscious and unconscious feelings, thoughts and beliefs. If you understand that everything is energy– our thoughts are energy, our emotions (that you can feel!) are also energy…then it makes sense that energy healing works on these parts of you.Much of what you experience emotionally and in terms of pain happens on the unconscious level, which is where you hold onto blockages. Whether you understand why you are feeling the way you are or not, the energy healing work that I do can shift those blocks.
It is important to understand that what you are feeling can shift — even if it is something you have dealt with your whole life.
