WHAT IS ENERGY?
Quantum physics acknowledges that we are made of energy. This energy, also referred to as “life force” in Western culture, is termed “Qi” in China and “Prana” in India. It is necessary for life; but like the air we breathe, we usually can’t see it.
What the ancients knew, modern science has proven. The human body is surrounded internally and externally by an electromagnetic energy field. This energy field flows through and permeates all living things. Research so far shows that the energy field has properties that suggest it to be both particular in nature, like liquid, and also energetic like light waves.
To put it simply: this same energy or electromagnetic field is what is being measured by an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), electrocardiogram (EKG) and other such mainstream modern medical diagnostics.
WHAT IS ENERGY HEALING?
Energy healing is a type of body work that uses hands on techniques to restore balance in a person’s electromagnetic field. Many people have heard of Reiki, or Healing Touch, which are popular styles of energy healing. Jen practices Brennan Healing Science, which is one of the most comprehensively trained and well respected modalities within the same genre of healing styles. Energy flows from the healers hands to the individual, whose body in turn receives the energy as needed. As healthy energy is restored, stagnant energy is released. Energy healing stimulates the body to achieve its optimal level of balance in order to heal itself.
The energy systems of the body (also called the aura, chakras and meridians) are connected to our physical organs, glands and bodily systems. They are also directly related to our thoughts, emotions, spirituality and relationships. While mainstream medicine usually isolates the physical body, energy healing looks at how all these elements of health dynamically influence each other.
Pain/illness may be our body’s way of telling us that our energy is not flowing harmoniously and that something is not working in our lives. If we don’t pay attention to the initial messages of physical or emotional pain, the warnings may become more severe until we take notice. However,through energy healing, painful symptoms may be relieved, our mood improves and we are in a better position to deal with situations and events that might otherwise have been perceived as stressful. It becomes easier to “go with the flow.”
“The simplest form of guidance is discomfort in the body.”

WHAT CONDITIONS MAY RESPOND TO ENERGY HEALING?
Many clients find energy healing helpful to relieve chronic conditions, or to relieve stress, in order to achieve a deeply relaxed state of being. Others find energy healing beneficial while working through life transitions. Some even come without having a particular purpose in mind and leave gratified. The experience seems to crystallize into exactly what the client needs.
Whatever you may come for, it’s important to note that energy healing is not meant to replace traditional medical treatments or medicine. Rather, it’s intended to complement other treatments you may be receiving.
It can take a long time for an energy imbalance to result in physical symptoms, thus it may also take several regularly scheduled healings to reestablish your optimal flow of a healthy energy pattern. In addition to supporting the mending of your body and relief from symptoms, energy healing adds some important nuances of health that mainstream medicine can sometimes overlook. It is not just about curing or masking symptoms. Energy healing is also a journey of awakening toward increased consciousness and wholeness of being.
