9 Mind-Body Practices That Complement Energy Work
1. Deepen Energy Healing with Meditation
What it is: Meditation is a practice that involves clearing the mind. It typically involves focusing your attention on one thing, such as the breath, a mantra (repeated phrase), or a visualization. It is often practiced while sitting in stillness.
Why it works: Meditation helps calm the mind, center your energy, increase body awareness, and bring you into tune with your emotions! This can allow you to be more receptive to energy healing.
How to Practice: There are many types of meditation, so it’s worth exploring what you like the best! You might try a Body Scan Meditation, by slowly focusing your attention on each part of your body. Start with your toes, then move up to your ankles… and so on to the top of your head. Or, you might try a Sound Bath Meditation – find a singing bowl music track of your desired length online, and simply allow the musical vibrations to wash over you! Try to keep your attention fully focused on the sounds of the music. Try a meditation before or after your next energy healing session!
2. Clear Energy Blocks with Breathwork
What it is: Breathwork encompasses a variety of breath-altering exercises. By changing the pattern of your breathing, you can experience specific benefits – different breath practices can have different effects on your experience! Some breathwork is designed to calm you, while others can bring more energy.
*Consult a healthcare professional or avoid more intense breathwork practices if you have respiratory conditions such as asthma! Stop if you feel lightheaded or dizzy.
Why it works: Breathwork can help release stagnant energy and improve energy flow throughout the body. Deep, slow breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress hormones.
How to Practice: Techniques like deep diaphragmatic breathing, alternate nostril breathing, box breathing, holotropic breathwork, or Wim Hof breathing can all be beneficial and complement your energy healing sessions! Look for breathwork workshops near you to explore more complex breathing practices, find a video to follow online, or simply spend the next few minutes taking slow, even inhales and exhales, and see how you feel!
3. Align Body and Energy with Yoga
What it is: Yoga is an ancient practice that originated in India. It aims to unite the body, mind, and spirit through various techniques including asana or physical postures. There are many types of yoga, and it can be adapted for anyone!
Why it Works: Yoga helps align the body and mind, promotes energy flow, and clears blockages, which pairs well with energy healing. Some things we love about yoga include the amazing feeling you have afterward when your mind is at peace and your muscles feel relaxed! Yoga is great for weight loss, toning your muscles, and becoming flexible. What’s more, is that it accomplishes all of this while connecting to your inner self. Yoga is a wonderful complement to energy healing!
How to Practice: Gentle yoga such as Yin, Restorative, or Chair Yoga can be effective for processing energy work after a session! Vinyasa, Hatha, Hot, and Kundalini Yoga are active practices that help you sweat out anything you need to release.
4. Elevate Your Vibration with Sound Healing
What it is: Sound healing is a holistic practice that uses vibrations and sounds to promote relaxation and overall wellness. It is often created from instruments like singing bowls, gongs, chanting, or chimes.
Why it works: It is practiced through deep listening and immersion in sound waves – essentially, “bathing” in sound to achieve a meditative state. Sound healing can help clear energetic blockages and raise your vibration, making it a wonderful complement to your energy healing work.
How to Practice: Search for sound healing tracks on YouTube, Spotify, or wherever you listen to music! Many creators title their music with information about what it will promote. For example, you could find a Heart Chakra Crystal Singing Bowl track if you want to focus on heart healing! Or, for a powerful experience, seek out Sound Healing events in your area and attend in person.
5. Reflect and Release with Journaling
What it is: Journaling is the act of writing down your thoughts, feelings, and experiences!
Why it Works: Journaling promotes self-reflection and helps release emotions, allowing deeper integration of the healing process.
How to Practice: Write down thoughts, emotions, or insights that arise before or after a session to track your healing journey. Your journaling can be organized with questions and prompts or could be stream of consciousness, poetry, doodles… whatever helps you express your thoughts!
6. Energize the Senses with Aromatherapy
What it is: Typically essential oils are used for this holistic practice. Essential oils are concentrated liquid extracts from the leaves, flowers, bark, roots, or fruits of plants through distillation or pressing. Essential oils can then be smelled or, applied to the skin with a carrier oil, or added to baths.
Why it Works: Aromatherapy uses scents to bring about relaxation, boost the mood, and more!
How to Practice: Use oils like lavender for relaxation, frankincense for spiritual clarity, or peppermint for energy clearing. Try using essential oils during your next energy work session!
7. Harness the Power of Crystals
What it is: Crystal healing is the practice of using semi-precious stones to bring about positive energetic changes. Crystals can be rested on the body, worn as jewelry, used as home decor, or used in meditation.
Why it Works: Crystals have a vibration, just like our bodies do! So the vibration of crystals can amplify our energy, bring us into balance, and promote deeper energetic healing.
How to Practice: Hold or place crystals on the body during or after a session to reap the crystal healing benefits! Look up the different benefits of crystals that you are drawn to, and see what might benefit you most. For example, amethyst boosts spiritual connection, rose quartz is associated with the heart and the vibration of love, and black tourmaline has protective qualities and absorbs negative energy.
8. Ground Yourself with Nature Therapy
What it is: Nature therapy is intentionally spending time outdoors, in natural environments.
Why it Works: Spending time in nature helps ground and clear your energy, promoting a deeper connection to the earth’s natural healing energy.
How to Practice: Walk barefoot on grass, climb a tree, or sit near a body of water! Have your next energy healing session outdoors or take time to ground in nature before or after.
9. Release Through Massage Therapy
What it is: Massage is the physical manipulation of soft tissues of the body – muscles, tendons, and the skin. It can be used for relaxation, stress relief, pain management, recovery, and overall wellness.
Why it Works: Massage helps release physical tension and stagnant energy, which can help make energy healing even more effective.
How to Practice: Consider combining energy healing with a therapeutic massage, thai massage, reflexology, deep tissue massage, shiatsu, or any other style of massage that appeals to you!
