Energy Healing

by Rita Teubner

Every living person and thing is comprised of life force energy.  All living things on this earth have some sort of energetic interchange.  We can also interact with non-living things such as the stones and rocks on the earth, as well.  When the body's energy vibration is off, is not balanced, then disease can occur on any level (mental, spiritual, physical, or emotional).  When the energy centers become clogged, this then restricts the flow of life force energy in the body and can cause disease to occur.

When these clogs or energy disturbances occur, that is when an energy practitioner can step in and assist bringing the energy level to where it needs to be in order for  healing to take place.  An energy healing practitioner channels a flow of life force energy from the Universe through their hands into your energy field that can help dissolve the energy blockages.  An energy healer does not cure someone, but facilitates healing in another, the healing comes from within, from allowing the energy to assist and clear out the root cause of the illness.

Energy healers come from many different religious backgrounds and faiths and energy healing can be practiced by Christians and non-Christians alike.  You do not have to be a member of any particular church or religion to become a energy healer.  I believe that the best energy healers have a compassionate heart and want to help others heal without judging them in any manner, and the energy must be given with unconditional love for it to be most effective.

The energy is channeled through the hands of the practitioner and can be done either hands on or long distance.  The practitioner should be getting a treatment as they are giving a treatment, the energy is not drained away from the person giving the energy.   Some practitioners who are very empathetic can pick up the root cause of the illness as they are doing the treatment, although there are times when no additional information is given. 

The treatment modalities can vary with the needs and circumstances.  When I work fairs, I will usually offer introductory energy treatments for approximately 15 minutes so that people can have the opportunity to experience the gentleness of the energy and understand that it is non-threatening.  I will have them sit in a chair and will work mainly on the head, neck, shoulders and upper back, arms and hands if necessary.  A full energy treatment is done on a massage table with the person on the receiving end lying down, and this usually takes about an hour.  The person remains clothed, and the hands are gently placed on different areas of the body to channel the energy.  If a person has a touch phobia, the energy practitioner does not even need to put their hands on the individual.

People generally feel very relaxed after an energy treatment.  Some fall asleep and I have had most people report back to me after receiving an energy treatment that they slept very peacefully through the night for the first time in a long time.  Sometimes the individual receiving the treatment will begin to cry - tears cleanse and clean and they begin the process of emotional healing.  After the tears usually comes a feeling of peace.  You may feel the hands of the practitioner become very warm, may experience some tingling sensation, or pulsing in of the energy.

It is my belief that a lot of disease is caused by stress and the energy relaxes the body and allows healing to take place.  It is very good for pain control, relaxation, headaches, fibromyalgia and arthritis.  I have also done a lot of work with individuals who are receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy and it has been very successful in alleviating some of the side effects of these treatment modalities. 

One individual that I worked with recently had a stomach cancer.  The night he was given his first treatment he had been having a lot of pain in the upper abdomen and this is the area that was concentrated on.  The next day he went to his physician as he was to receive a chemotherapy treatment and it was discovered through an x-ray that he had perforated his stomach, but that the hole that had been created had closed up on its own.  The x-rays showed the area that had  been "healed."   This patient was able to then attend his son's wedding, making his transition into spirit about a month later.  Sometimes the energy cannot cure illness, but it can affect enough change to allow more quality time to the individual as he prepares to make the transition to spirit.

I have also found energy healing to be very effective with so called "chemical imbalances" or psychiatric disorders.  It is very effective at bringing core issues up for healing.

I am constantly working on my own healing on a daily basis, for as long as I live in a human body there will be human issues to deal with.  If a healing practitioner portrays themselves as being above and beyond everyone else, then I would wonder about their ability to assist others.  We are here to teach others how to heal themselves, not to encourage them to become dependent on us as healers.  The best way for us to teach others to heal is through our example, "do as I do, not as I say."  

I hope each one of you finds the journey within as interesting and fulfilling as my journey has been and continues to be.

Namaste.
