Introduction

We are all connected in a beautiful and magical way through energy and its vibrations. Energy plays a part in every aspect of our being from the atoms that make up our physical bodies to our emotional, mental and spiritual states. How we feel and think directly affects not only ourselves, but everyone around us. With more people recognizing the importance of our emotions and how they affect the world, we have the opportunity to create connection and unity starting within ourselves. By healing and raising the frequency of our own vibration, we have the chance to create a healthier and more loving environment, a world where we can thrive and vibe together.

Vibration is the transfer and movement of energy. We can see it when a pebble is tossed into a body of water, which ripples out from the stones point of entry. We can feel it when we stand near a speaker playing loud music. Energy is neither created nor destroyed; it is simply moved from one space to another.

Our own physical, emotional and spiritual bodies likewise have their own unique vibrations. When our vibes are low, our mood is negative; our emotional state is anxious, angry or sad, our physical bodies suffer from illness, and we feel disconnected and alone. But we dont have to stay in this state of apathy. As you will see, we each have the power to raise our vibration to one of love and vibrancy, where we feel empowered, healthy, happy and safe within ourselves and our environment.

Today, we have witnessed how people in every corner of the Earth can be affected by the low vibe of an event such as the pandemic of 2020, which created isolation and fear. In our homes and workplaces, we are also becoming increasingly affected by the vibrations of modern technologies such as WiFi and 5G. Yet, at the same time, these things have helped to open our eyes and consciousness to how connected we really are. The truth is that we all play an important part in our world. In the same way that atoms and cells form to create the human body, we too are connected to form our world. We are living, breathing parts of one unit one consciousness and when we vibrate individually and collectively at a higher frequency, we create a profound effect on the health and happiness of the world we live in.

We are all connected at a vibrational level, so when we work on healing ourselves, we are also healing each other. Just as you can feel the vibe of people in a room, you can also change that vibe by raising your own, infusing those around you with good vibes. So lets choose to infuse our whole world with the energy of love and gratitude, to be the individual cells that regenerate our collective health, and spark a light for those who cannot see. Together we will create a vibration so high in frequency that generations to come will benefit from our work!

What is Energy Healing?

The importance of high-vibing energy for our wellbeing has been recognized since ancient times. Although it is often given other names in Eastern traditions, such as chi, qi or prana, this energy represents our life force, which flows freely, without blockages or imbalances, when we are in good health. Today, the benefits of practices such as Reiki, acupuncture and working with the chakra system all of which are forms of energy healing are becoming widely accepted in the West.

Energy healing holds that every physical or emotional pain we experience is the result of an energy imbalance or blockage. Spiritual ailments and blockages likewise often manifest in the physical form. Lets look at stress as an example. When things become too hard to bear, our emotional response alters our physical, mental and spiritual states. Our whirring thoughts manifest physically in our bodys increased production of the hormone cortisol, a root cause of many physical ailments. Reiki helps to regulate and release these stressors so we find balance within the physical body.
