WHAT IS 'ENERGY MEDICINE'?

Energy Medicine is a broad term encompassing a variety of Energy Healing modalities such as Acupuncture, Qi Gong, Reiki, Meditation, Yoga, and Therapeutic Touch. It works by unblocking and rebalancing the subtle energies centers, called chakras, in the body. The chakras are connected in some way to every aspect of our Being; mind, body, and spirit. Finding the root of the energy imbalance, regardless of the connection, unleashes the power to heal!

The Energy Medicine practitioner facilitates the movement of this energy by placing her hands on or slightly above or near the client. Depending on feedback the practitioner receives she may stay in one area longer than another to clear the stagnant energy and improve the flow. The practitioner may sense a blockage in a particular area and provide this feedback to the client for consideration.

Although the practitioner does not diagnose the client, this feedback may resonate with the client's intuitive understanding and direct them to take further action to encourage deeper healing. The client remains fully clothed and simply participates by quietly lying or sitting during the session but may also interact in conversation with the practitioner.

Many people turn to Energy Medicine to treat or prevent illness, relieve pain, manage headaches, release stress and anxiety, release toxins, or improve memory, performance, emotional stability, mental clarity, and overall sense of well-being.

Energy Medicine is not intended to be the 'cure all' for what may have been diagnosed by a physician. And the practitioner is not diagnosing a problem, per se, but instead facilitating the movement of energy to promote cellular-level healing throughout the entire being: mind, body, and spirit. It is important to use Energy Medicine in conjunction with your primary health care provider's guidance and to let them know you are receiving complementary treatments.

The emphasis at Seattle Energy Medicine is Intuitive Guidance which teaches others how to assess and decipher their body's energy. Everyone is born intuitive and with the right guidance and desire a person can improve their life in miraculous ways. Learning proper breathing through the practice of Meditation and Yoga, for example, help us reach higher states of consciousness; that is to say, become more intuitive.

Lastly, believing in ones' innate ability to heal and having a receptive attitude increases the effect and is needed for optimal results. If you've lost faith in yourself, getting your subtle energy moving can help you get to know and trust yourself again; and usually on an even deeper level. And restoring balance and harmony in your body improves health on all levels.

After a session, a person may feel very relaxed, sleepy, or deeply centered. Or they may feel invigorated, alive, and beaming with joy. It changes with each session and depends on the state of ones' overall health at the time.

It's estimated that more than one-third of Americans are embracing alternative medicine; energy medicine is part of this increasingly popular healthcare solution.
