Energy Medicine is a branch of Alternative Therapy or Complementary Medicine that involves working with the human energy field, energy centers, and the vital life force energy. Depending on the techniques applied and the various schools of thought behind one’s training, these sessions can vary greatly.
Just as our bodies contain several physical systems (respiratory, circulatory, digestive, etc.), there are also multiple energetic systems present, such as chakras, nadis, and koshas. Together with our consciousness, belief systems, and past experiences, these energetic systems work in unison to create what we experience as “life and wellness.”
Throughout human history, many ancient cultures have acknowledged and identified conscious energy centers in the body known as chakras. The word chakra is derived from Sanskrit and translates to “Wheels of Light.” These centers receive, assimilate, and express vital life force energy, often referred to as prana or chi.
