Energetic healing and energy healing therapy have been around for many centuries. There are ancient texts in China that mention energetic healing therapy. Energetic healing is healing the body by manipulating the life force in the body.
Everything in the universe is composed of energy including the human body. The human energy field has lines of energy that are called meridians in acupuncture theory. Energy or chi travels in the meridians. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, an ancient energy healing therapy, when there are blockages in the meridians then dis-ease can result. Energetic healing is the manipulation of this energy to have it circulate properly in the energy body. Acupuncture uses needles to clear blockages in the meridians to enhance energy flow.
Many cultures have a long history of different kinds of energetic healing. Ayurvedic
Medicine and yoga is another ancient system that recognizes the importance
of having a balanced energy system for good health and well being. Ayurvedic
Medicine stimulates energetic points on the body called marma points to stimulate
energy flow. These points have some similarity to acupuncture points. Hatha
yoga uses postures to help relax the body and help stimulate the flow of
energy. Many ancient cultures recognize chakas, which are subtle energy
centers in the spine that are very important for the human energy field and
energetic healing.
Many new energy healing therapies have sprung up in modern times. Some
of these systems are based on ancient knowledge of energetic healing. Some
of these methods are now being used in hospitals to assist their patients
in recovering from illness.
Qigong energy healing therapy is one of the oldest of the energetic healing
practices and ancient records show that it has been around for thousands
of years. China has clinics in China where they treat serious health
conditions with Qigong. There are many scientific studies in China
that point to the effectiveness of Qigong practice and treatment.
