Have you ever heard of an Energy Worker?  Other aliases are:

• Lightworker
• Reiki practitioner, usually Usui version
• Laying on of hands, usually in religious practice
• Healing Touch
• Energy medicine
• Therapeutic Touch
• Quantum-Touch
• Vibrational medicine

 Despite what you read in various skeptical sources, I personally have felt energy movement through my body and moving into other bodies.  The more one does it, the more one can sense it. The first time I had an energizing Reiki “treatment”, I thought I would burst out of my skin!  I then moved on to the soothing complexities of Healing Touch classes taught by a very compassionate soul.  I can say that indeed there IS something to this strange spiral energy…something that can be both energizing and relaxing at the same time.

  Most of the popular versions of energy work are indeed bureaucratic overcomplications of something I think everyone can manifest in a very real physical way, even on the first try.  I don't charge money for energy work.  I prefer a type of barter system, one gift for another.  Like dinner or flowers or whatever.  I think the creativity in coming up with a barter can actually feed one’s energies and I’m all for that! 

  There are various rituals, attunements, symbols, hand sequences, words, and so on.  But I prefer to get past that and actually DO it.   I personally like the chakra system, if not only for the mental visuals of vivid colors and pure light.  But that’s just me, I’m a visual person.  

  If I were to come up with one word to sum up my energy work, I would say “intention”.  Like traditional magickal teachings, the Magician, with his intentions, takes the esoteric and transforms it into something one can work with.  The good news is that energy work happens even if you don’t know what you are doing per se.  Intention simply focuses it to where YOU want.  Mind-body energy, especially the holistic healing kind, goes to where it is needed in the body.  You are simply the carrier from the elements into yours or another body.  Intention gives you a little more control; even though, as in all traditions, there is the paradox of being in control while being out of control.  Those of you who use energy work probably know what I’m talking about here…
