Why the Energy Body Needs Attention

The energy body can be thought of as a template or blueprint containing all of your life experiences. All experiences in life, big and small, positive and negative, affect the energy field. If issues or traumas are not dealt with or cleared right away they remain in the field as dense energy or as imprints. Some traumas are so big that they get suppressed into the unconscious field. All dense energy affects the flow of the ‘qi’ or energy in the field and can lead to imbalances in the system – either physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. These imprints can also get triggered and may leave you feeling as if you are repeating old patterns but cannot step out of them. Our environments and the people we associate with also affect our energy fields.

An early life experience can affect the energy of the related chakra and can lead to imbalance of that chakra throughout your life. You may be aware of certain issues in your life that come up repeatedly, in various situations or environments. This is an example of an energy block or imprint that continually replays itself. You may even be able to identify 'why' you act this way and understand it very well, but still cannot change it. This is a good indication that the imbalance is on the energy level. Trying to heal this imbalance on another level (phyiscal, mental, or emotional) may help you to manage or understand it, but may not actually change the pattern. For some people, working on the energy field is a very effective way to clear these issues and patterns.

It is also possible for the energy body to lose vital energy. Sometimes after a difficult relationship or experience in life, you may feel that a part of you is missing or you do not have access to it. It may also be a talent, skill, emotion or feeling that you can no longer connect with. Energy work is designed to restore these vital energies to your field and to you.
