Energy Healing Philosophy

There are multiple different systems of energy that are recognized in Western society.  These systems are sourced from the realm of ancient, esoteric knowledge such as the Chakras and the Meridians, and prana and chi-based energy healing forms.

In a larger sense, energy healing, energy medicine, vibrational medicine are all terms that reference the diverse body of healing modalities that have their roots in the human energy body and energy field.

EHI’s currently focuses on offering chakra-based energy healing training to participants who are committed to an energy healing or alternative practice that includes one or more energy-based modalities.

The intention of the information offered here is to form a locus of awareness on the type of conversations, framework and awareness that Energy Healing Institute espouses with its participants in our trainings.

The page is updated from time to time, to include questions or comments that appear to be part of current conversations about energy healing and consciousness studies.

What is energy?
Scientifically speaking, all matter – animate or inanimate – is formed from energetic molecules, joining and adhering to create substance (matter), whether it is a chair, a tree, or an individual. Simply speaking, there is nothing, no thing, which is formulated of something other than energy.

Metaphysically speaking, energy is the sum and substance of all that is and will ever be. Energy is not just the essence of life, it is life itself.

Specific areas of energy (electromagnetic fields or auras) are measured around all objects (living and non). These fields of energy co-habitate and interpenetrate, while retaining the sense of the object represented within each field. Many clairvoyants report the ability to view the auras or fields around both material objects (chair, tree or individual), while also viewing the energy that creates the material object. Interconnectivity and influence upon fields are natural outcomes. Thus, our energy has influence on and interconnectivity with all other forms of life. Whether we are conscious of it or not, we truly all affect one another through our distinct, yet interrelated, electromagnetic fields.

Everything and every thing simultaneously affect everything and every thing.

How does energy affect us?
To be affected by energy is, ultimately, to be sensitive to information that is delivered through vibrations. If you are able to utilize any of the five senses, then you have experienced just a fraction of the ways that energy affects us. But, since energy is everything and every thing, then we can be characterized as the sum of our relationship(s) to everything and every thing.

To break it down on the quantum level, a healthy organism is one that has energy flowing unimpeded throughout the electromagnetic field. The energy within the field is in relation to both the individual and to the universal electromagnetic field (or the Cosmos), as energy flows between both fields concurrently, much in the same way that traffic merges on and off of a highway. When energy blockages occur, they create a disturbance in the resonance of the field – its overall vibrational frequency. This is the equivalent of a traffic jam on that constantly merging highway. Blockages occur through held emotions, such as anxiety, fear, anger, depression, guilt, grief. Blockages can also occur at injury sites (they can be thought of as energetic scar tissue). These blockages create patterns of behavior, physical and emotional pain, and affect the overall well-being of the individual.

Our energy affects everyone around us. We are all in relation with and interconnected to one another’s auras each time we have a conversation or even just a brief interaction. Just as one person’s clothing won’t reflect the taste and style and sizing of another, energy exchanged between individuals isn’t necessarily compatible or authentic simply because it is shared through interaction. This is the experience you feel when you just don’t “get” someone or you don’t “hit it off.” You are feeling the disconnect in the exchange of your energy and theirs, reading the vibration, and then reacting to accordingly.

So, the question stands, that if all is energy and all is interconnected, then how could we NOT be affected by energy?

What is energy healing?
The term ‘energy healing’ references multiple methods of working with the electromagnetic field as the basis for transforming an individual’s experience.

The objective is to affect and evolve an individual’s physical experience through integrating focused intent while applying specific visualization skills within the aura. As changes occur in the energetic field/aura, the individual “catches up” and reflects the changes in their physical health, emotions and overall life experiences.

On the grander scale, since energy healing deals with working with one’s energy, and energy is everything and every thing, then it stands to reason that energy healing is the basis of all healing.

What are energy hygienics?
Energy hygienics is, in a sense, taking responsibility for the quality and maintenance of personal energy. Since the energy of all things intermingle indiscriminately, and therefore directly affect the electromagnetic fields of everything it comes into contact with, it is important to maintain a level of hygiene.

Energy hygienics are visualization skills that are used to clean up and maintain the auric field. By simply drawing an individual’s attention to their aura and the layers within, the energy within can be evolved. Energy that is no longer vital to an individual’s sense of well-being is carefully released and recycled, therefore eliminating it from impacting or burdening others. When applied by individuals as part of a system of self-care, their fields are clearer, and a greater level of connection, happiness and self-awareness results.

Energy hygienics is an absolutely essential skill for all healers; they come into constant contact with individuals who are working on their realization and experience of health and well-being. When healers apply energy hygienics, their electromagnetic fields are clearer and their work with clients and patients is more pristine.

What are the chakras?
The Sanskrit word for “wheel,” chakras are centers in the psychic body where energy is metabolized. The chakras are compact and defined. They serve as the conduit between what is thought and perceived and what is manifested through action – reality. Chakras are the gateway between an individual’s electromagnetic field and their physical being and therefore are the epicenter for an individual’s energy health.

The body has thousands of chakras. However, most systems focus on the seven major chakras. Each chakra correlates to certain organs and body systems, in addition to patterns of behavior, beliefs, rules and organizing principles of thought and action. All manifested physical experience derives from the energy that flows within the chakras and electromagnetic field. The majority of energy work learned in Level 1 and 2 of the curriculum at the Energy Healing Institute is understood through discovering and exploring the electromagnetic field (aura) and the chakras. There are many books available for in-depth research and understanding of the chakra system. A brief overview is helpful prior to exploring and clearing the chakras. For more information about quantum principles, energy healing, chakras and how it all fits together, check out the media in our Research and Resources section.

How can the Energy Healing Institute help you?
At the most basic level, EHI questions the nature of the self, the perception of reality and fundamentally, how to heal in the grey area where science and metaphysics meet. EHI does this by educating individuals about personal energy and how the maintenance of electromagnetic fields directly impacts the physical self. Through private consultation services and seminars, clients learn skills to understand their energy, work with what lies within the fields and heal (release) any energy blockages that may cause unwanted behavioral patterns, including physical and/or emotional pain. EHI is successful not only where students acquire new skills and comprehension that transgress the bounds of either Western or Alternative medicine; but also encourages its graduates to forage onward, armed with more questions and curiousity about the integration of science and spirit, with the ultimate objective to learn and practice a more expanded approach to healing.

The Energy Healing Institute offers a program of certification for medical professionals, alternative healing practitioners and any other professions dealing with human care. The well-rounded curriculum balances quantum principles with metaphysical teachings, and builds a platform of energy healing skills which students use as a foundation for their particular method of healing. Through exploring the science of energy with the metaphysical, doctors and alternative healing practitioners discover a platform for collaboration between Western medicine and alternative healing models, intensifying the power of all healers and evolving the landscape of human care.
