What Is Energy Healing?
Energy healing (often referred to as Reiki, Spiritual, Source Attunement etc.), is sometimes hard to describe to someone who hasn’t heard or been introduced to this concept before. Most people associate healing as going to the doctor’s or perhaps to the hospital. The healing of a wound or bruise by the body's own biological natural healing properties is a concept that most people will be able to associate with. In some respects, Energy healing that is administered or flows through the healer is merely a tool to facilitate the mind and body to be able to heal itself.
Unlike conventional medical treatments in which medicines usually treat the human biological systems directly, Energy Healing works indirectly. Energy Healing is regarded as holistic. That is, it works on not just the body but on our mental and emotional states. Whatever affects us emotionally or mentally can affect us physically. The medical professions are well aware of this. There is a great deal of research and understanding within the medical professions on these issues.
An illness that develops on a physical level for example may, therefore, have its origins on an emotional level. Conversely Energy Healing works on all levels at the same time and may, therefore, not just treat the symptoms which may surface in the physical body but may also treat the underlying cause of the individual’s ailment. In other words, Energy Healing will go to where it is needed, not necessarily where we are experiencing the discomfort or symptoms.
Rebalancing The Human Energy Field
The word healing would perhaps be better replaced by the word rebalancing. The energy that flows through the healer is a natural life force energy that is able to realign the mind, body and spirit back into balance. It may be rationalised that this healing energy is a higher frequency of natural cosmic light that comes from a much higher spiritual level than this physical reality. The healers at Phoenix Light are able to connect with this natural holistic energy for the benefit of the client.
Our perception of the physical world is one of solid matter. Our five senses of seeing, hearing, touch, taste and smell is what governs this perception of our everyday life. Our physical body, however, including the whole universe that we live in, is in fact one of different electro-magnetic frequencies (light). Light is the building blocks of the universe. Our physical body is, therefore, a vibration of light and it is this higher vibrational healing energy that is able to connect with the light of the physical body. In doing so it is then able to achieve a raising of the vibration of the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of the individual. That is the healers at Phoenix Light merely seek to achieve a rebalancing of the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of the individual.
Upliftment and Relaxation
Each patient/client may experience healing in their own unique way, but there are more often than not some common experiences. The individual may experience an overwhelming feeling of relaxation and upliftment. There may also be a feeling of pleasant warmth moving on and around the individual. Sometimes to a lesser extent there may also be a feeling of a soothing cold sensation. Some people may also experience a release of emotions that is a natural reaction to the healing in connecting with the client’s own inner emotional self that could possibly be uncovering unresolved feelings, being repressed within that person's life.
The healing practised at Phoenix Light is largely dependent on the healer. It may be conducted using a light touch to or around the body or it may be completely away from the body. Perhaps even a combination of both. For example there may be times when a light touch to the shoulders on commencement to the healing may take place, even if the rest of the healing session is done away from the body. It is also possible that the healer may intuitively feel that a direct touch on or close to the body is needed. Each patient is an individual and each patient will receive healing according to their perceived needs. It is entirely up to you, however, if you wish for the healing to be entirely non touch. Some people feel that there is a reassuring comfort in direct touch and that may also be your preference. Of course there will be no direct touch to any parts of the body that are regarded as intimately sensitive to yourself. Healing is quite adequately given without the need for contact to the physical body. This will be conducted fully clothed at all times, although, you may wish to take off your coat, shoes or any other outer garments to make you feel more comfortable.
What can I expect on my visit to Phoenix Light?
Everybody who is welcomed to the centre will be offered a drink and you will be able to sit down for a chat. For those who have never experienced Energy Healing before, a member of the group can give you a full explanation of what happens in the healing process so that you can decide whether healing is for you. You will be required to fill out a very brief medical record that we are required by law to do if you decide you would like to try some healing. These records are kept secure under data protection law. You will also have to declare that you are under the care of a responsible medical practitioner, that Energy Healing does not replace conventional medical treatment.
Healing sessions last for as long as is needed, but most sessions generally last for about 15 to 20 minutes. The client is seated comfortably in an upright chair and helped to relax before the commencement of the healing. Healing is freely given by the healer according to the ethos of Phoenix Light. This is in keeping with our belief in serving the community, providing a safe space for those that need it. Healing does not depend upon any type of belief system but only upon an open mind. Healing is given unconditionally to all and we will respect the wishes of the client in any aspect of the healing process.
