How Energy Healing Works: A Beginner’s Guide to Vibrations and Frequency
If you’ve ever left a sound bath, Reiki session, or meditation feeling lighter, calmer, or somehow “reset,” you’ve experienced the power of energy healing. But what’s really happening beneath the surface? Let’s break it down in a way that’s easy to understand, no overly complex science jargon, just the basics of why this works and how it affects you.
We’re All Made of Energy
Everything in the universe. your body, thoughts, emotions, the chair you’re sitting on, is made up of energy. At the smallest level, we are vibrating particles in constant motion. The speed and pattern of that vibration is called our frequency.
When your frequency is high, you often feel joyful, healthy, creative, and connected. When it’s low, you may feel tired, stressed, or weighed down. Energy healing works by influencing your frequency and bringing it back into a harmonious state.
How Energy Becomes “Blocked”
Life experiences, stress, grief, trauma, overwork, or even prolonged negativity, can disrupt your energy field. Think of it like kinks in a hose: the flow slows down or gets stuck. Over time, this can affect not only your emotional well-being, but also your physical health.
Energy healing helps to clear, unblock, and recalibrate your system so that your natural flow is restored.
Why Vibration Matters
Every organ, tissue, and cell in your body has its own natural vibration, much like every instrument in an orchestra has its own sound. When something is “off” in the body or mind, it can create dissonance, like an instrument out of tune.
Sound healing, Reiki, breathwork, and other modalities help “retune” your energy so everything plays in harmony again.
Different Types of Energy Healing
Sound Healing: Uses instruments like crystal bowls, gongs, and chimes to create frequencies that your body naturally aligns with.
Reiki: A gentle hands-on or hands-off technique that channels universal life force energy to support your body’s own healing process.
Breathwork: Uses intentional breathing patterns to move stagnant energy, calm the nervous system, and increase mental clarity.
Chakra Balancing: Focuses on aligning the body’s seven main energy centers so your physical, mental, and spiritual systems work together.
What You’ll Feel During a Session
Energy healing is a personal experience, no two sessions feel exactly the same. You might notice:
Deep relaxation, almost like being in a meditative state
Tingling, warmth, or a sense of lightness in the body
Emotional release (crying, laughter, or a wave of peace)
Mental clarity and renewed energy afterwards
Even if you don’t “feel” much in the moment, shifts can continue to happen in the hours and days following.
How to Get the Most Out of Energy Healing
Set an Intention: Decide what you want to release, invite in, or focus on before the session.
Stay Hydrated: Water supports energy flow and integration.
Allow Space Afterwards: Give yourself time to rest, reflect, or journal.
Practice Consistency: Just like exercise, energy healing works best over time, not as a one-off fix.
The Takeaway
Energy healing isn’t about someone “fixing” you, it’s about creating the conditions for your body, mind, and spirit to return to their natural state of balance. Whether through sound, Reiki, or other practices, it’s a reminder that you are more than just your physical body. You are an energetic being with the ability to shift, heal, and raise your own vibration.
If you’re ready to experience this firsthand, I’d love to hold that space for you. You might just leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected than you have in a long time.
Peace & power to you
