The human energy field has been referred to cross culturally as
prana, chi, electromagnetic field, biofield, or aura. Every living
thing is a literal dance of electrochemical processes. We are not
merely physical form, but energetic bodies as well. Over the past
100 years scientists have begun to be able to measure changes in
our energetic field and correlate these changes to states of health/disease.
Science is confirming what many healers have been claiming, that
our physical health has a relationship to the health of our energetic
field. Furthermore, contemporary studies are showing that intentions,
thought forms, spiritual practices and energetic practices can and
do animate the energetic body effectively, creating a context for
improved physical health. Energy work is therapeutic work with the
body’s inherent energy system. Energy work can be done for
oneself or in a healing partnership with a practitioner.
Awareness of how we manage our personal energy is crucial to the
maintenance of good health. My goal is to share techniques with each
individual for the assessment and management their own energetic
systems. These exercises enhance personal awareness of energy
balance and provide a method for replenishment and revitalization.
Therapeutic Touch is a form of energy work developed by Delores
Krieger PhD, RN author of The Therapeutic Touch, How to Use Your
Hands to Help or Heal. She describes TT as a conscious act of therapeutic
intervention concerned with direction and modulation of subtle energies.
It is a technique anyone can learn and is a component of the Cindy’s
group classes.
Reiki is also a form of therapeutic energy work. Cindy has studied
the Usui Shiki Ryoho, the Usui system of natural healing. This work
originated in Japan through the work of Dr. Mikao Usui. Reiki uses
energy balancing to support the body’s natural ability to heal.
Acupressure involves using pressure applied along energy meridians
of the body to balance either excess or deficient energetic flows.
Cindy is a Jin Shin Do practitioner and also utilizes Touch for Health.
