Energy medicine, as a practice that aims to regulate the energy balance in the body, can cause a person to experience various symptoms on both physical and mental levels. These symptoms are usually felt during or after an energy medicine session. The symptoms experienced during energy medicine work may vary depending on the intensity of the energy flow, the person’s perception and physical condition.
1. Physical Symptoms
Sensation of Heat or Cold
- During or after an energy medicine session, certain areas of the body may feel warm or cold.
- This can occur in areas where energy flow is intensifying or blockages are beginning to dissolve.
Tingling and Vibration Sensation
- Tingling or light vibrations may be felt in the hands, feet or other parts of the body.
- This sensation may indicate that the energy flow is active.
Mild Contractions or Relaxation
- During energy work, the muscles may contract slightly, twitch or feel completely relaxed.
- This is how the body adapts to the energy.
Dizziness or a feeling of lightness
- Changes in the energy level can cause a person to feel light or to experience a slight dizziness.
- This is usually caused by the intensification of the energy flow during the session.
Energy Burst or Fatigue
- After an energy medicine session, some people may feel energized and alive, while others may feel tired or sleepy.
- This is due to the body’s process of reorganizing its energy balance.
2. Mental and Emotional Symptoms
Emotional Intensity
- During energy medicine applications, the person may experience a sudden emotional intensity. For example, there may be bouts of crying or laughing for no reason.
- This is caused by repressed emotions coming to the surface.
Feeling of Peace and Calm
- Most people feel a deep sense of peace and calm after an energy medicine session.
- This is associated with balancing energy fields and reducing stress.
Focus and Mental Clarity
- After energy medicine treatments, mental fuzziness can give way to clear thinking and an increased ability to focus.
- Dissolving blockages in energy fields contributes to a feeling of mental clarity.
Sensations in the Aura or Chakras
- During the work on the chakras, one may feel movement or condensation in the energy centers.
- Some people describe these sensations as an expansion or intensification of energy fields.
Altered State of Consciousness
- During energy medicine work, a person may experience changes in their state of consciousness. For example:
- It’s like a trance,
- Shift in time perception,
- A state of deep inner awareness.
Visual or Auditory Perceptions
- Some people may see colors, lights or shapes when they close their eyes during energy work.
- Rarely, there are also people who report hearing a slight humming or melody.
4. Symptoms that may occur after energy medicine
Detoxification Symptoms
- Dissolving blockages in the energy fields can cause the body to undergo a physical detox. These symptoms may include:
- Mild headache,
- Frequent urination,
- Excessive sweating,
- Temporary stomach upsets.
Deeper Sleep
- After an energy medicine session, many people experience a deeper and more restful sleep than usual.
- This is part of the process of rebuilding the body’s energy balance.
Emotional Purification
- After the session, the person may become aware of feelings that they were not aware of before. This may be an indication of emotional healing.
5. Energy medicine symptoms vary from person to person
As each individual’s energy body is different, the symptoms experienced during energy medicine work can also vary from person to person.
- Some people may experience very intense symptoms, while others may experience milder or vague effects.
- Symptoms depend on the level of energy blockages and sensitivity to the energy flow.
6. How to interpret the symptoms?
- Positive Effects: Most energy medicine symptoms indicate that energy fields are being balanced.
- Challenging Experiences: Some symptoms (e.g. detox effects) are temporary and reflect the body’s process of adapting to the energy flow.
