Energy healing is a holistic practice that involves channeling healing energy from within us to achieve positive results through attunement to often metaphysical frequencies and vibrational occurrences. Deriving from both Eastern and Western New Age influences, some examples of energy healing include chakra, reiki, and crystal healing. While the approaches vary, the foundational principles of energy healing assume that people and places are affected by energy that we can manage through conscious intention, repatterning work, and other conscious and subconscious techniques. Many often approach energy healing with the idea of clearing blockages caused by physical and/or emotional imbalances, implementing protective qualities, or attracting a desired outcome or quality.
