What is Energy Healing? What is the Energy Body?

By Scott Rowe

To begin, we need to clarify what sort of energy is referred to by these questions. That's easy, because there is only one source of energy, by definition, and that is -- however it suits you to refer to -- the Uncreated Absolute beyond creation. That energy takes many forms: people and poems, begonias and bullets, because not only is God creative, but we are as well. Healing Energy is therefore a loving energy.

I am a Natural Spiritual Healer, which is a form of Energy Healing taught by the Self Realization Meditation Healing Centres worldwide. In that modality, I allow the healing energy to be drawn through me. I do not diagnose conditions nor direct the energy specifically; instead, I make it available it to all areas of the patient's body and being so that their Higher Self may direct it to where it is needed. In this way, no one's ego manipulates the energy flow to achieve a particular result. If I were to try to achieve a result of my choosing, especially if it was not in the patient's best interest (however helpful my intent) then I would be expending my own energy, Divine energy would not be flowing through me. My charge as a Healer is to be loving, focused and clear, and to follow intuition, allowing the Healing Energy to do the work.

The Energy Body is an energy double of the physical body, which exists both within and extending beyond it. It gives form to the body during development and maintains it throughout life. Injuries can leave imprints on the energy body, which then affects the physical. Natural Spiritual Healing helps to clear these imprints and restore balance on all levels. Some people can see auras, which is one way of perceiving the energy body, but we all have a sense of the 'space' around us, and we can feel when people or things are infringing on it. Most people can also sense the energy of a person, even the feeling that they leave behind in a room, whether negative or uplifting. This is an indication of our energetic being and the non-physical senses. Because the energy body can change quickly and it directly influences the physical, which is 'condensed' energy, Energy Healing has the potential to heal conditions rapidly.

All forms of health care use Healing Energy to a degree. Energy modalities like Reiki, Acupuncture and Chiropractic may be closely aligned to a pure energetic healing approach, as Natural Spiritual Healing is, although the spiritual development and attunement of the practitioner has an influence. This also applies to standard medical and psychiatric practice, which involves healing energy to a degree even if not known or acknowledged. A practice of depth meditation is very helpful for developing the practitioner's attunement, and for the mastery of ego, which tends to influence things away from what is best for the patient (and the practitioner). One form of healing is called Winged Prayer, which is available on request from SRMHC trained Healers worldwide. This form transcends limitations of time and distance, and our preconceptions of what is possible. That energy healing can do so much is not surprising when we consider the Source. We do not have to make healing happen, we need only to become the best patients and practitioners that we can be.
