Energy Healing 101 is your introduction to the basics of energy healing. Here's a simple definition: Energy Healing is a broad term that encompasses many healing techniques such as Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Sound Healing, Chakra Healing, Crystal Healing and hundreds more.

Energy Healing occurs when an individual or a practitioner uses techniques to heal a person on the energetic level. A common focus is releasing deep-seated energetic wounds, producing healing on a physical level, balancing the chakra centers, and providing serenity and balance in a person's life.

Energy Healing practitioners vary in their chosen methods. Some common methods are using crystals for healing, channeling Reiki healing energy, using guided visualizations to promote balance or healing in a person's life, using sound vibrations and instruments.

What can energy healing do for you? People have healed themselves physically, everything from small ailments to cancer. People have released old patterns and recreated a new, better, fuller life for themselves.

People have reduced anxiety, overcome depression, become centered and focused, lost weight... just about anything you can dream is possible, if you approach it from an energetic level.

Read on for a true story of how one man did just that... healed himself of cancer, and created a new life with deeper meaning and satisfaction.

Energy healing can completely transform your life. To show the true strength of healing energies we've decided to open this section with a powerful real-life story of what energy healing did for a man who had been diagnosed with late stage lymphatic cancer. (Name has been changed for Anonyminity)

About thirty of us gathered together on Mother's Day of 2007. It seemed fitting to participate in a drum circle dedicated to sending healing energies to the Earth Mother. There were some powerful energy workers present as well as a few people new to the concept.

One person present was Jason. He had a severe case of lymphatic cancer. Large nodules were visible on his neck. His partner had brought him to the event hoping that he would receive a healing from the powerful energies present that day.

We all asked him to sit in the center of the circle and the focus of the day shifted to include sending healing energies to this man in particular as well as the Earth Mother. He appeared nervous at first, but after a while he laid down in the center of the circle while drummers sent their healing vibrations towards him.

My partner and I had brought two of our crystal singing bowls to the circle instead of drums, and while the drumbeats held the root energies we shared the energies of the heart chakra and crown chakra coming from our bowls.

The combination was powerful, with the crystal singing bowl vibrations melding into the deep drumbeats. The circle continued for several hours, and the entire time, the man suffering from cancer lay in the center.

Everyone present that day could feel the powerful shifting vibrations in the air around us. Some people would take a break from drumming to sing their spirit songs or send distance healing energies through their hands towards the center of the circle. The whole time the drums and the crystal singing bowls played on.

At the end of the drum circle, after many hours had passed and the sun was hanging low in the sky, we spoke with the man who had received the healing. He was besides himself with how intense the experience had been for him. He vowed at that time to include energy healing as a component of his healing strategy.

About eight months later, the writer's of energy healing 101 heard an update about him. He had healed himself! His late stage lymphatic cancer was in complete remission. He said that the day of the drum circle, when he had so many powerful healers working on him all at once had been the turning point. He gave it a large credit towards helping him bring his body back into balance.

This is just one story of the power of energy healing. It says so much more than discussing the techniques of how or why it works. We've all been brought up by society to beleive that if something isn't verified by science, that it simply doesn't exist.

This man is a testament to the fact that there is more to our universe than science. There are mysteries we haven't even begun to fathom yet, like why a person with a positive outloook on life has good things happen to them more consistently than a person with a negative outlook. Can that be explained by science? Not yet, but the energetic community of lightworkers already knows. It's because the person with the positive outlook is vibrating at a high level, at a level in harmony with the universal energies all around us. The person with the negative outlook is lowering their vibration with all of those unhappy thoughts, causing them to vibrate out of sync with the universal energies.

Jason was able to overcome his lymphatic cancer and open himself to the light vibrations of healing that day in the park. He was receptive to the healing energies and allowed his vibrational state to change to match the vibrational state of the healing energies. It's an "energy healing 101" concept called entrainment, and it is one concept that is verified by the scientific community.
