Energy Healing: A holistic, natural, efficient and safe approach to Wellness
First of all, what is energy?
Energy is the fundamental essence of the Universe. Everything can be reduced to this fundamental essence. That’s what quantic physics has learned in the last 30 years. Everything is energy, and so are you, your body, your emotions, and your thoughts.
Energy is information. Each sickness (be it physical, emotional, or mental) has its own frequency, its own vibration, and its own information. Energy affects and reflects physiology, and energy imbalances distort our energy field.
Energy healing is intended to tune into the body’s frequencies to find the stressors, the negative energies, the negative emotions, the negative thoughts impeding our overall health and well-being. Energy Healing simply uses your natural ability to heal by removing the energy blocks that prevent to body to do his recovery and healing work, be it physical, emotional or mental. Strong emotions, traumas, accidents, surgeries, all create energy blocks to the life vitality flux. The energy healer removes them, allowing the body to heal naturally.
I often use the metaphor of the river. The energy healer removes the big stones and rocks that prevent the river flow from fully flowing. The river can manage small stones and rocks at its bottom, and it does, but when there is too much of an accumulation of those, or too big rocks, then the river flow (the body and the mind vitality and proper functioning) is constrained and the flow can become too weak.
Energy healing is a complementary therapy that focuses on the body’s energy fields, known as biofields, to promote this physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Well known practices such as Acupuncture, Reflexology, Reiki, Tai Chi and Qigong are based on the belief that manipulating these energy fields can stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. We supporters argue that energy healing helps reduce stress, alleviate pain, and enhance overall wellness. Because we live it everyday.
Logical method based on ancient wisdom
Some critics dismiss energy healing due to the lack of a clearly understood mechanism. However, we proponents argue that since 5000 years, Chinese Medecine and Ayurveda have well understood that health and vitality are based on the “Chi” energy (“Prana” for Ayurveda) being able to flow through the energetic body, the meridians and ultimately, the cells. If the “Chi” energy can circulate everywhere, we are in good health. Lifestyle habits and Life events create energetic blocks that hinder this flow, thus preventing the cells and body to do their work as Nature intended it. By removing energetic blocks and negative energies (coming from negative emotions for example), the natural vitality flow is restored, and the body starts to heal itself and come back to its balanced state.
We also point out that many accepted medical practices also began with evidence before being scientifically validated. The placebo effect, often cited as a counterargument, which by the way emphasizes the mind-body connection, is not enough to explain the remarkable results energy healers got in the last 30 years, with success rates way above 80%.
Scientificevidence
Along with leading institutions like the NCCAM and NCHS, the NIH’s National Center for Complementary Health (NCCIH) has spent years conducting scientifically-backed research about the potential effectiveness, quality, and benefits of energy healing. Through these studies, researchers have found that energy healing may be used to improve the immune system, reduce pain, facilitate and speed recovery, and much, much more.
The following research has also shown solid results:
- Jain S, Mills PJ. Biofield Therapies: Helpful or Full of Hype? A Best Evidence Synthesis. International Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 2010. → Synthesis of 66 clinical studies showing strong evidence for pain intensity reduction and moderate evidence for decreasing anxiety and behavioral symptoms in dementia.
- Hammerschlag R, Marx BL, Aickin M. Nontouch Biofield Therapy: A Systematic Review of Human Randomized Controlled Trials Reporting Use of Only Nonphysical Contact Treatment. Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2014. → Review of 28 randomized controlled trials on non-contact biofield therapies: two-thirds of the higher-quality trials report at least one statistically significant positive outcome.
- Sá R, et al. Efficacy of Biofield Therapies in Alleviating Pain and Reducing Symptoms Associated with Mental Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. OBM Integrative and Complementary Medicine, 2025/2026. → Meta-analysis of 28 randomized trials: small yet statistically significant effects on pain as well as mental symptoms (anxiety, depression, stress).
- Sprengel ML, et al. Biofield Therapies Clinical Research Landscape: A Scoping Review and Interactive Evidence Map. Journal of Integrative and Complementary Medicine, 2025. → Evidence mapping of 353 studies (including 255 randomized trials) on biofield therapies: nearly half report positive outcomes across all evaluated criteria.
- So PS, et al. Touch therapies for pain relief in adults. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2008 (subsequent updates available). → Cochrane review of touch therapies (Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch, etc.) concluding a modest yet significant effect on pain intensity reduction.
- Jain S, et al. Clinical Studies of Biofield Therapies: Summary, Methodological Challenges, and Recommendations. Global Advances in Health and Medicine, 2015. → Synthesis indicating that the strongest evidence supports pain management and cancer-related symptoms, with promising results for arthritis, dementia, and cardiovascular disease.
Results
As per our experience, most issues, be it physical, emotional or mental, are very significantly improved and usually resolved in 1 to 10 sessions, with an average of 3 to 6 sessions. It of course all depends on the person, her history, her age and her lifestyle. We have seen many issues resolved in 3 sessions! With aged patients and/ or very serious illnesses it usually takes more sessions.
Benefits of energy healing
- Efficient
- Completely non-invasive
- Done in person or remotely
- Gentle and pain-free
- No drug interactions
- Helps identify the energetic root cause of physical or emotional symptoms.
As research continues to evolve, energy healing is gaining recognition as a valuable complement to conventional medicine, offering a holistic approach to health that considers the energetic as well as the physical aspects of human beings.
