Holistic Energy Healing Techniques to Relieve Pain

Hold your hand in your energy field, moving it back and forth through the area above the painful area on your body. This is called "scanning."

You can often feel the energy over areas of pain in the body. The energy may feel hot, spiky, dense, painful (to the healer’s hand), throbbing, tingly, or “electric.” The energy is often concentrated, excessive, and “stuck.”

Following are three simple holistic energy healing techniques for getting the energy to balance and flow.

Simple: The Siphoning Technique
One excellent method works to draw the energy of the pain off, draining it away and out into the earth.

Put your open left hand above the area that is painful, a few inches or more away from the body, with the palm facing the body. Sometimes the energy of the pain is that close to the body; or it can be further away. Experiment with the distance to see if you can find the pain in the field, and hold your hand there.

Hold your right hand away from your body, with the palm open and fingers together, pointing down toward the ground. Imagine that you are drawing the energy of the pain into your left hand, across the front of your body, down your right arm, out your right hand, and into the earth.

You may need to hold this position for a while (up to about five minutes). To speed up the process, you can open and close your right hand to help “pump” the pain-causing energy out.

When you feel the flow of energy slowing down, or when you feel relief, put your right hand in the field above the painful area, and your left hand pointing toward the sky. Visualize pure white light channeling into your left hand, traveling to your right arm and hand, and filling the painful area.

This is adapted from a Healing Touch method.

Simpler: The Clearing and Balancing Technique
Alternatively, move your left hand slowly counterclockwise in a circular motion in the field over the painful area, for up to about five minutes. This will help to clear and release excess energy. Then, reverse the motion and move your right hand in a clockwise circle over the painful area to balance the energy you’ve just cleared.

I learned this technique from my esteemed teacher, Dale Golden.

Simplest: The Smoothing Technique
An even simpler holistic energy healing technique is just to hold your hand, palm-down, in the field over the painful area, for up to about five minutes. You can move your hand back and forth in a smoothing motion if you wish.

This usually feels very soothing.

Of course, if the pain is intense, or if it persists, you should seek qualified medical attention.
