Energy healing operates on the belief that disruptions or imbalances in the body’s energy flow can lead to illness or distress. Healing can be facilitated by understanding and restoring harmony to these energy systems. This knowledge empowers you to take ownership and accountability for your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
The disruptions in your body’s energy could have originated from a multitude of sources, such as:
- Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs): Encompass negative and impactful events that unfold during a child’s formative years (infancy through adolescence), spanning from singular traumatic incidents to prolonged traumatic experiences such as long-term abuse and neglect.
- Chronic Stress: Prolonged exposure to stressors, such as work pressure, financial difficulties, or relationship problems.
- Unhealthy Lifestyle Habits: Poor diet, lack of exercise, inadequate sleep, and substance abuse.
- Environmental Factors: Exposure to environmental toxins and pollutants can negatively impact energy.
- Emotional Suppression: Unresolved conflicts or unexpressed feelings can block the body’s energy channels.
- Physical Injuries or Illnesses: Traumatic injuries, chronic pain, or serious illnesses can disrupt energy flow within the body’s systems.
- Negative Thought Patterns: Persistent negative thoughts, self-limiting beliefs, or destructive mental patterns can hinder the free flow of energy and contribute to energetic imbalances.
Amidst the various sources of disruptions in our body’s energy system, tapping into the universal life force energy, rooted in concepts such as Qi (Chinese) or Prana (Ayurvedic), offers one pathway to healing and restoration because it is associated with vitality, health, and the body’s ability to heal naturally.

The ancient practice of Reiki acknowledges that each of us possesses an innate capacity for healing, a deeply personal path that only we can navigate. While various healing modalities exist, from meditation to acupuncture, I will discuss Reiki for now. By embracing this approach of self-ownership, we empower ourselves to reclaim the authority of our well-being, recognizing that the key to healing lies within our unique experiences and inner resilience.
Why Focus on Holistic Health?
Addressing all aspects of your health (spiritual, emotional, and physical) can help you achieve a more comprehensive and balanced state — energy, mental, and more. Neglecting any aspect can lead to health issues in other areas. Holistic health practices often emphasize prevention, empowering individuals to prioritize self-care and emotional state regulation and make lifestyle choices supporting long-term health goals.
Imagine a person who has experienced adverse childhood effects, such as neglect or abuse, leading to deep emotional wounds and unresolved trauma. These experiences may manifest as physical ailments, such as chronic pain or heart disease, alongside emotional distress, including anxiety or difficulty trusting others.
As a holistic therapy rooted in the universal life force energy, Reiki offers a comprehensive approach. Through gentle energy channeling, Reiki can address physical discomfort, promoting relaxation and easing tension in the body. Simultaneously, it joins the emotional and spiritual healing aspects, promoting safety, trust, and inner peace. By harmonizing the body’s energy flow, Reiki supports individuals in navigating the complex layers of adverse childhood effects, offering holistic healing for the mind, body, and spirit.
You Know How to Heal: Empowerment and Accountability
Imagine you’ve cut your finger. Platelets clot the blood, white blood cells fight infection, and tissue rebuilds. Your innate healing power extends beyond physical injuries. By acknowledging this inherent ability, you can cultivate resilience in every aspect of your life.
I am not saying that healing is as easy and automatic as overcoming a cut finger. You possess innate healing abilities because you intimately know yourself — your hopes, dreams, desires, fears, pain, and experiences. While online advice can offer insights, holistic healing is ultimately about rediscovering and trusting your inner wisdom. Once you claim accountability for your health, you can start the process of self-discovery.
In the vein of Stoic philosophy, understanding the dichotomy of control is paramount: focus your energy on what you can control—your thoughts, actions, and responses—while releasing attachment to what lies beyond your influence. If you embrace this mindset, you can better navigate life’s challenges with resilience, creating a sense of inner peace.
You can unfold the transformative power of energy healing through intentional action and self-awareness.
