How would you like to dramatically reduce your stress and anxiety, feel more peaceful and relaxed, gain perceptual clarity, feel greater joy and confidence, increase your energy, improve your physical health, and awaken you to your holiness? You can do all this by removing imbalances in your human energy field, chakras, and aura.

Types of Energy Used

What can be said is that energy healing does not involve just one kind of energy or energetic frequency, and it is not just a matter of increasing quantity and flow of energy.  The writings of Alice Bailey describe a number of energies which comprise the energy field, and two major categories of healing "magnetic" in which "prana" (defined as "vital planetary fluid) is channeled through the hands and "radiatory" which involves a radiation of  "soul energy".  This is only one example of the many kinds of energy which may be involved in healing.  Different programs may involve both different energetic "qualities" or "frequencies" as well as varying techniques for using them in the service of healing. 

Scientific Vs. Spiritual Underpinnings

Some energy healing programs emerged from a more spiritual tradition, and some were born from a more scientific approach.  Often they have more in common than they differ, despite the theoretical underpinnings.  Even those which evolved within the nursing profession with a strong scientific base, such as Healing Touch and Therapeutic Touch, include reference to the spiritual levels of life.  Most programs recognise spiritual layers of the energy field.  Energy healing actually provides an arena where science and spirituality clearly meet.  

Variations In Models Of Energy Field

Programs may have completely different models of the energy field with which they work.  Many programs use depictions of the energy field which have had a long history, such as the chakra system.  Others descriptions of the energy field have evolved more recently.   Barbara Brennan's elaborate description of the human energy field in Hands of Light has been adopted by many healers.  Her model combines ancient understandings with her own observations. 

• Meridians

• Chakras -- major and minor, as traditionally described

• Chakras -- those which are "newly emerging" or being discovered

• "Etheric" (often said to be the first layer of the field, like an energetic blueprint)

• Emotional energy body

• Mental energy body

• Astral layer (defined differently by various healers)

• Causal body

• Spiritual layers of energy field -- specifically the following 3 named by Barbara Brennan in Hands of Light:
      5th layer - "etheric template"
      6th layer - "celestial"
      7th layer - "ketheric template"

• Lightbody and vibrational energy bodies as described by Packer and Roman

• Universal calibration lattice as described by Dubro

• Various other models associated with diverse techniques

How Do We Know The Human Energy Field Exists?

Knowledge of the human energy field comes from ancient texts and metaphysical literature, as well as what is observed through "high sense perception".  High sense perception is a term coined by Barbara Brennan to refer to the phenomena of "clairvoyance" -- the ability to see that which lies beyond the reach of physical sight.  The human energy field can be perceived in a number of different ways by use of what could be considered to be more subtle aspects of the 5 senses.  Clairvoyance or "subtle sight" is only one way.  People who are "sensitive" to the energy field may also hear it (clairaudience), sense it kinesthetically (clairsentience) or even have experiences of subtle smell and taste.  Different people sense it in different ways, although some feel that everyone is capable of developing all types of subtle sense perception.  It is also possible to have knowledge of the state of the energy field through use of intuition -- a kind of "knowingness".
