FAQs
What is Energy Healing?
Energy Healing is a way to balance the energy in the body.
Energy is all around us. It makes up everything in this world, from the tangible things we can see with our eyes to the subtle invisible energies such as thought, emotion and sound. So too, we ourselves are beings of pure energy. Therefore Energy Healing is so effective at treating the body as a whole and getting to the true source of our ailments, as it takes into account the affects of the interactions between the energy of our bodies and the energy all around us.
Hear from Dr. Bradley Nelson, author of The Emotion Code and creator of The Body Code, as he discusses what energy healing is all about.
Can Energy Healing be done at a distance?
Absolutely! The nature of energy is that it is not confined by time or space. It is all around us, and continually influencing us in different ways. Our thoughts, in fact, are energy themselves! That is why thinking positive thoughts has such a profound effect on life's outcomes- good attracts good. So, when the practiced intention of an energy healing practitioner is aligned to facilitate help and healing, an individual will feel this on an energetic level. Then, following the process outlined in the Emotion Code and Body Code, change can absolutely take place no matter the distance.
Is there anything needed from me during a session?
All you need to do during an energy healing session is listen, relax and keep an open mind. It's that simple! You can be sitting still or moving around, there are no requirements. The most important thing is to be comfortable. In the words of one of my clients, "Ahh, I've got my coffee and I am ready to relax!"
How does the process of getting answers from the body work?
Energy healing is so effective since the whole process is guided by the client's own body, which knows exactly what is needed for optimal function and healing. So how to we access this innate inner wisdom that each person has? It is done through tapping into the power of the sunconscious mind. You may have heard that individuals are only using less than 1% of their brain power and intelligence. This phenomenon is referring to the inability to harness the subconscious mind, which makes up over 99% of our intelligence. The subconscious is like a computer, it is hardwired to remember every single detail of our lives since coneption, and it is largely responsible for maintaining our health- you do not have to tell your lungs to breath or your stomach to digest your food. Most importantly, it knows exactly what is going on in the body, from the causes of imbalance to the required remedies.
So the process will entail asking questions directed to the subconscious mind and energetically picking up on the answers. Questions will be phrased in a yes or no format, for example is there an imbalance causing blank (yes or no) is the imbalance x, y or z (yes, no) and can we energetically release this now from the body. The subconscious mind is in constant comunication with the body. When an answer is yes, truth, the subconscious will send a strong message to the body and when an answer is no, false, it will send a weak signal to the body. Energy healing practitioners are trained to pick up on these subtle energetic changes. Based on that, we receive guidance during the session from the best doctor on earth- your own body.
Do I need to talk and share during the session?
It is completely optional and in most cases not even necessary. Emotion Code and Body Code are nothing like talk therapy. The beauty of this work is that it can be done without the practitioner needing to know the details. For example, if an emotion of sadness comes up in a session that is tied to a painful childhood memory, your practitioner does not need to know that! All they will do is identify the type of emotion the body is ready to release (in this case - sadness) and energetically clear it from the body. Things are brought up to release them, not to relive them.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Since every person is unique and this work is designed to follow each individual's needs and pace, results will vary by individual. Some see a change right away, while others need a few sessions before they begin to see a difference. Remember, healing happens in layers and this is especially true for the Emotion and Body Code. Sometimes we need to work through layers of imbalances before we can reach the bigger and more substantial imbalances that are responsible for our symptoms in the first place. The best advice to clients is to look out for subtle changes at first, whether they be related to what they were working on or seemingly random- such as improved quality of sleep, feeling lighter, or having higher resiliency to stress. Remember, every session strengthens your body by removing imbalances that were weighing you down. Doing so creates more space and capacity within the body to heal and perform better, so look out for the changes that can manifest in wonderfully unexpected ways.
What is "processing", and should I expect to feel it after a session?
Processing is what happens after a session, when the body begins to integrate the energetic changes made during a session. The energy is flowing through the body, things begin to shift and open, and the imbalances released during the session create space for the body to keep working and healing even after the session is over. So it is normal to experience processing symptoms after a session, which are usually mild and can include feeling more tired than usual or a bit lightheaded. The majority of the time, people do not experience any processing symptoms at all. Feel free to ask your practitioner any additional questions about processing.
