Energy Bodywork
Energy Bodyworkork, also known as Energy Therapy or Energy Healing, acknowledges the relationship between mind and body, the body's innate ability to heal itself and the partnership of patient and practitioner in restoring the body to health. Energy Work seeks to balance energy patterns in the body. As a result, the body’s natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum mental, emotional, and physical health.
Some popular methods of energy work are:
CNN Segment on Energy Healing
Energy Work utilizes a gentle laying on of hands, holding and subtle movement to channel healing energy and balance energy fields in the body. Energy work can be performed as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with other massage and bodywork techniques.
According to an article in the fall 2002 edition of Body Sense Magazine, author Barry Kapke states, "The body is, after all, bioenergetic and seeks to maintain balance. Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, called the body's natural capacity to heal itself vis medicatrix naturae -- the healing power of nature.
We are not separate from nature, in fact, we are intrinsically a part of the 
energetic web of all life and all things. Modern science is slowly catching up with this basic understanding, historically common to cultures the world over."
Almost all cultures share a fundamental belief that life is more than just physical processes in a body, life is a unity of the physical, mental and spiritual, and is infused with a special energy or force that gives it vitality.
Energy healing, or energy work, seeks to restore, promote, and maintain health and wellness to all those elements by influencing and supporting the body's bioenergies. These energies are variously referred to as qi (pronounced "chee"), prana, vital force, life force, lan vital, mana and more. When disease hits, it's understood as a disruption or distortion of these energies.

In the Twentieth Century, reality was everything humans could touch, smell, see and hear. Since the initial publication of the chart of the electromagnetic spectrum, humans have learned that what they can touch, smell, see and hear is less than one-millionth of reality.
