Can anyone do Energy Healing?

Everyone has energy healing abilities, can do Energy Healing, and probably has without even knowing it.  Most people have at least instinctively given someone a hug or put their hand on someone’s shoulder to comfort them.  The problem is that you can easily give away your own energy, or take on other people’s "stuff" if you are not careful.

We have an energy duplicate of our body, energy centers called chakras, and an energy field.  If you are not familiar with the chakras or the energy body, and would like to know more, I recommend reading a book or search on-line – I have some information on my blog as well: http://sunyata-eternallight.blogspot.ca/2011/12/chakras.html

There are seven main points to be mindful of during Energy Healing:

1. The first is to ask - Ask permission of the person you will be working on.  If you cannot communicate with them directly, ask their higher self.

2. The second is protection - Before you do anything energetically, it is important to call in your spirit guides (whatever they are – they could be Angels, or spirit animals etc) for protection and to help you.  Once you reach a certain vibrational frequency, you may no longer need them for protection, but you can call them for their help.

3. Third, cleansing - You need to cleanse your energy so you don’t pass your stuff to the other person. Examples:

4. Next, grounding - You need to ground yourself to ensure that you transmute other people’s negativity into the Earth so you don’t take on their stuff.  Grounding also keeps you balanced.  More information: http://sunyata-eternallight.blogspot.ca/2013/04/spiritual-grounding.html

5. The fifth is to remember that you are only a facilitator or a channel of energy – do not give your own energy away.

6. You need to heal from your heart.  When humans think from their heads, anything they manifest or create is created in duality because it is off balance in our energy field.  Meaning, every time someone does something positive, something equally negative also happens.  Similarly, if someone creates something negative, something positive is also created.  To get away from this duality, we need to manifest, create and heal from the heart – which can only be based on peace and love.

First heal your heart:

Then be in your heart:

7. Finally, an important part of a treatment is the intent – that it be for the person’s highest and best.  The technique (e.g., hand placement) used is less important than the intent behind what you are doing - then follow your intuition!

In the end, I find it is more beneficial to help guide a person on their healing journey with psychic healing messages then to simply heal them physically.  Otherwise, it is like you are treating the symptoms without understanding the cause (which means the symptoms can reoccur).  I choose to combine healing messages and energy healing so people at least have a better understanding of why they are facing the challenges they have.  It can also serve as a warning of energetic issues which can manifest in time if not addressed.

As a final note, I like to compare Energy Healing to the medical profession in that anyone can perform first aid after reading a book, but it is better to take a First Aid Course over a weekend - a Reiki course being an analogy.  However, what you learn in a weekend really cannot compare to the skills of someone who has been training and practicing for years in the medical field - so be wary of people who only have Reiki certificates without years of experience at the very least.
