Some notes about energy healing and what its benefits and limitations are.
When you study the science behind everything, you end up realizing, everything is energy. Various forms and levels of energy. The scientific world is still working on learning how it all works, and how the human body works with energy, but for those fortunate enough to experience energy flowing while doing healing or meditative work, we know it does work. Not everyone can see or feel energy, and not everyone can "heal" others in the same way. Despite that, healing with energy does work on everyone. Despite "western" science still catching up to explaining it, it is a highly prized skillset for many cultures, religions, and people. All that being said, energy healing works differently to conventional healing, in that it doesn't fix "physical" ailments as easily as energetic issues. Finding the cause of physical ailments sometimes can happen, but again, science has yet to catch up to this area of healing, and energy work, and as such all medical issues are best trusted to medical professionals. Legally they must be anyhow.
So what good is it then? Well, most energy healers believe that a healthy energetic body keeps a healthier physical body. Long term illness and disease is often "seen" in aura's before it manifests in the physical body. Not every healer can detect this though, and so it isn't a guaranteed or failsafe way to predict or diagnose illness. Thus the legal requirements to not do so. But, if a healer identifies an energetic need, they can help your body to work with your own energy and help it to "flow" properly again. Not every energetic healing system works with chakras and auras, but most do. Acupuncture works along a similar system which focuses on energy flowing throughout the body along a system of meridians and nadi, similar to the nervous or circulatory system.
Energy healing helps immensely with emotional health as well, and often is a key part in helping many to overcome buried emotional trauma. This is sometimes best done one on one with an experienced healer who can help you through it all, so that you don't just rebury the trauma again but overcome it.
