Energy healing is a broad term for complementary practices that focus on balancing the body’s subtle energy systems to support physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It is based on the belief that the body has an energy field that can become disrupted by stress, illness, or emotional experiences. Practitioners use gentle, non-invasive techniques—such as placing hands lightly on or just above the body—to help restore the flow and balance of this energy. Different approaches to energy healing include modalities like Reiki and therapeutic touch, each with its own methods but similar underlying principles. Sessions are typically calming and aim to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support the body’s natural healing processes. While scientific evidence is still limited, many people report feeling more relaxed and centred after sessions. Energy healing is often used alongside other treatments as a supportive, holistic approach to overall well-being.
