What is Energy Work?
Energy work is the focused connection to life force energy. The purpose is to bring the body into balance and equilibrium with the heart and mind, for vibrant health. Life force energy is the same energy that pushes the trees up from the earth and the stars across the sky. It is also known as Chi, Ki or Prana. It can be likened to electricity; the power circuit in our body that keeps us breathing and our hearts beating. If this energy becomes blocked due to trauma and repression, we fall into ill health.
Energy must flow! As with a river, it needs to flow and stay fresh, if it becomes blocked it becomes stale and can cause toxicity. An energy worker can help to release the energy blocks allowing the body to receive optimum life force, which is intelligent in its nature and is the ESSENTIAL to bringing vitality back into the system. When we are high on energy it’s like we have a fully charged battery, we think and move better, we are clearer, brighter and more capable of facing life’s inevitable challenges.
Energy work is known widely in the East and has been practiced for centuries. In the West, and indeed in the UK, we once used to have our own practice but it has been lost and forgotten over time. Now it is coming back with energy practices such as acupuncture, reiki, tai chi, shiatsu and yoga making ‘prana or chi’ more common place in our daily lives. All these practices share the same philosophy; to channel energy and remove blocks so that the body can come into alignment with health. When the body receives energy, it can flourish and thrive, rather than struggle and deplete. It should be seen as an integral part of wellbeing medicine alongside Western practices that are pharmaceutically based.
Receiving energy healing is like plugging into a socket and getting a charge. It feels amazing and the benefits can be miraculous! The fact is, if we raise our frequencies we are able to operate better. It stands to reason that a lighter brighter higher vibration creates a happier and more positive physical frequency. This is proven by science and not something we need to believe in, any more than we need to believe a paracetamol will work! Every medicine has a placebo, so it’s important we trust in any process, but interestingly reiki (a popular energy therapy) is the one medicine that has failed placebos, regardless of a person’s ideas of it, it will work anyway!
Energy work, particularly reiki/shamanic-influenced hands on healing, that Faye practices, is suitable for everyone and there aren’t any contraindications. It is safe and even encouraged for people suffering with serious illnesses such as cancer. Energy work is also great for pregnant ladies at any stage and with babies, children and the elderly. It cannot harm, although there may be emotional releases, but as we know this is part of the healing process, and letting go of trauma is what healing actually is! It is the most amazing medicine and often surprising has far reaching tangible results.
“Some people see scars, and it is wounding they remember.
To me, they are proof of the fact that there is healing.”
