The term energy medicine refers to healing techniques that involve the human energy fields. Therapists who work with this energy can see it with their own eyes or they can sense it with their hands or bodies. This ability to sense energy is sometimes called intuition. This field of medicine is based on the fundamental premise that all physical objects (bodies) and psychological processes (thoughts, emotions, beliefs and attitudes) are expressions of energy. Therefore, all bodies are infused with a subtle energy or life force. This life force is known by a variety of terms corresponding to different traditions.
In therapies involving this subtle energy field, it is believed that health is determined by the overall flow and balance of a person's vital life force energy. Imbalances or blockages in the natural flow of the subtle energy fields in the body cause illness. Therapies such as reiki, acupuncture and acupressure all act by correcting imbalances in the flow of subtle energy.
Each of these energy medicine techniques involve the movement of a healer's hands over the patient's body, sometimes without actually touching the body. The practitioner uses her hands to sense imbalances of energy and to strengthen, correct or redirect the subtle energy flow as a means of promoting health.
