Appreciating Integrated Energy Therapy

Many people are already familiar with reiki, a Japanese energy healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation. Many people pursue reiki healing because they feel a sense of sadness or anxiety, have pain management concerns, are looking for a deeper sense of happiness and meaning in life and want to bring their best self to relationships, work and every part of their life.

Reiki is universal life force energy that promotes healing. The energy healing flows from the practitioner’s hands and into the client’s body and energy field for a deep healing by unblocking energy and creating proper balance with the body.

While reiki is a more commonly known and highly effective way to rid our bodies of harmful energy, there is another energy healing modality that is just as highly effective—Integrated Energy Therapy (IET), a safe, gentle, nurturing way to balance life by helping release patterns of the past. It “gets the issues out of the tissues” and helps people feel re-balanced and empowered.

Every experience in life leaves a mark on us physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Throughout life, positive experiences can make us feel hopeful, light and upbeat; negative experiences can cause worry, pain and suffering, and obstruct our energy system.

Most people hold negative energy that has been stored in their bodies for years. Negative or traumatic experiences, stress, unexpressed emotion, fear, anger or resentment can become suppressed in the body and disrupt our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being at a cellular level. Whether it came from childhood or happened yesterday, that negative “stuff” interferes with today’s life.

IET will clear or alter unwanted recurrent or chronic emotional, mental or behavioral patterns and imprint new, desirable patterns or intentions such as love, trust, power, safety and forgiveness, release past traumas in a gentle and supportive way (without re-experiencing them), reduce stress and anxiety, achieve and maintain balance.

IET facilitates healing as we let go of old, negative energy and beautiful, positive energy takes its place. The end result is a new beginning. It is a new way of looking at life, letting the past go,and embracing a bright, new tomorrow.
