What is Energy Balancing?

Based on belief that a human being, in addition to all of nature, is made up of complex patterns of energy, we combine the varied techniques of Reiki, Polarity, Therapeutic Touch, Reflexology, and Guided Imagery to assist the body in balancing its energy flow.

When the body is healthy, the energy flows freely in a balanced manner. In disease, there is an imbalance or disturbance in the energy flow.

Energy Balancing also helps to keep the chakras, or energy centers, clear and spinning freely and engages the "Relaxation Response" which helps to decrease stress, augment the immune system, and stimulate the brain's production of endorphins.

It also works well in pain management; in reducing anxiety and depression; in decreasing side effects of chemotherapy; in the stress and pain management of, and as an aid in, healing before/during/after surgery; and to promote self-healing and optimal well being.

HOW DOES IT FEEL?

Energy Balancing is very gentle, safe, and soothing. The client will lie on a massage table fully clothed and covered, or can sit comfortably in a chair, if preferred. Incorporating soft music, guided imagery, candles, and aromatherapy to enhance the experience, the practitioner will lightly place hands on various parts of the body, generally following the endocrine system.

WHAT WILL I EXPERIENCE?

Participants often report pleasant sensations of floating, extreme heat or cold, electrical tingling, spectacular visual phenomena and/or a deep calm often lasting for days. They often find that they sleep more deeply, and through the night. Also, pain is lessened or eliminated completely.

Glossary of Terms

 Reiki ~ An ancient healing method which promotes the flow of "life force energy" and helps to balance that energy flow and the chakra system within the body.

 Therapeutic Touch ~ A gentle non-invasive use of the hands near or on the body with the intent of helping to rebalance one's energy flow pattern towards the direction of health.

 Polarity ~ Seeks to find unbalanced, blocked or fixed energy in the body due to stress or other factors that cause pain and disease, then unblocks and releases energy to normal flow patterns, to maintain the energy field in an open, flexible condition.

 Reflexology ~ The art of restoring the body to health through special massage techniques applied to the feet and hands.

 Guided Imagery ~ Use of the imagination specifically to create positive sensory images to assist the mind and body in achieving and maintaining health.

 Chakra ~ There are seven power centers located throughout the body with each one reflecting both the physical, psychological, and emotional health of a particular area within the body and the spiritual well-being of each individual. Every thought and experience in life gets filtered through the chakras with each event recorded into the cells, causing "your biography to become your biology." When chakra energy is blocked or misdirected, emotional and physical illness can arise.
