Energetic healing works by restoring areas of life - whether it be on a physical, emotional or psychological level - to their natural functionality. You can think of it like a bicycle tire that has been damaged by a nail: to make the tire usable again, you remove the nail and repair it. Energetic healing works in a similar way in humans, except that we don't have tires, but energies that perform important functions. If these are disrupted, they need healing.
My name is Rico Brunner, and as an energy field therapist, I have been helping people build emotional strength and stability for over 25 years.
Core Principles of Energetic Healing
There are three basic approaches that are used in energetic healing, but with different effects:
- Energy transfer through one's own life force: Here, the healer passes on his own life energy to the person who needs healing. However, this leads to the healer himself being weakened, especially if it is used frequently. The energy received is not the healed person's own and is often only processed for a short time. This can lead to false healings, as the external energy does not harmonize perfectly with the person's own energy.
- Use of universal energy: This method uses universal energy, which can be passed on in various ways. This energy is also not the healer's own. Although it has a supportive effect, it also carries the risk of misinterpretation as it is not specifically tailored to the individual energy system.
- Activation of the self-healing power: This method, which I practice, focuses on restoring the self-functioning of the energy system. I do not give off any external energy, but work on finding and resolving the cause of the malfunction. This is comparable to a hearty, infectious burst of laughter: your own laughter activates joy in the other person without the need to add anything from outside. This passive form of energetic healing is particularly sustainable, as it strengthens the self-healing potential and keeps both the healer and the healed person stable in the long term.
In my opinion, this third method of energetic healing is the most effective because it restores the natural functioning of the body and soul and strengthens both sides without causing energy loss or disharmony.
What is energetic healing and how does it affect the body, mind and soul?
Energetic healing is based on the idea that our body, mind and soul are made up of energy. This energy, comparable to electrical voltage, permeates our entire organism. It is now scientifically proven that our body generates voltage like electricity and that this energy is also present in the soul, psyche and emotions.
Injuries - whether physical, mental or emotional - lead to a drop in tension. This means that the natural energy in the affected area no longer flows or functions properly. The aim of energetic healing is to compensate for this loss of tension and restore the energy balance. When the tension is restored to the correct level, the system can regenerate itself and resume its natural functions.
In simple terms, energetic healing helps to regulate a person's individual tension so that they regain their natural balance. In this state, they can live their lives in harmony with themselves - physically, mentally and emotionally.
What are the principles behind self-healing in an energetic context?
Self-healing in an energetic context is based on a complex interplay of different principles that must be intact in all areas of our being. For energetic healing to have a lasting effect, the self-healing process must be harmonious and functional.
You can think of the self-healing process as a team of inner doctors and nurses. This team works together to heal injuries or drops in tension in the energy field. For this to succeed, it is crucial that these "inner helpers" function as a unit and cooperate with each other. Only then can sufficient strength be mobilized to set the self-healing process in motion.
The principle behind energetic self-healing is therefore the synchronization of all inner processes that enable healing. This harmonious interplay ensures that the body, mind and soul can return to their natural balance. Without an intact "team" of these inner mechanisms, sustainable healing is not possible.
What blocks self-healing powers and how does energetic healing support their restoration?
There are numerous reasons why self-healing powers no longer work. These blockages are often at the level of the energy field, the soul or the spirit. Here are some of the most common causes:
- Powerless energy field: If the body or the energy field is extremely weakened, it lacks the necessary energy to initiate self-healing. In such a state, the system can neither compensate for voltage drops nor regenerate itself.
- Injured self-healing mechanisms: The self-healing mechanism itself may be damaged, blocking its ability to enable healing. In this case, injuries can no longer be compensated for and tend to get worse over time. One remains in a state of stagnation without understanding why no improvement occurs.
- Self-suppression of healing: Some people unconsciously block their self-healing. Reasons for this can be excessive demands, emotional injuries or beliefs, such as: "I don't deserve healing because I've made mistakes." or "I am not enough and therefore cannot be healed."
- Fear of healing: A less obvious but decisive factor is the fear of the consequences of healing. Healing requires courage to face problems and take responsibility. People who are afraid of change or of confronting challenges can unconsciously block their self-healing.
How does energetic healing support recovery?
Energetic healing starts exactly where blockages impair the self-healing powers. It helps to identify the causes of the weakening or violation of self-healing and to resolve them in a targeted manner. No external energy is added, but the natural functioning of the energy field is restored so that the self-healing powers are reactivated. This enables the person to compensate for tension losses and find their way back to a balance that promotes healing on all levels - physical, mental and spiritual.
Which energetic bodywork promotes healing and brings harmony to the energy field?
When promoting healing and harmonizing the energy field, it is important to distinguish between bodywork and energetic work. Both approaches have their own value and contribute to healing in different ways.
Bodywork to support self-healing
Bodywork is a powerful tool for stimulating self-healing powers. The most effective methods include:
- Breathing therapy: Controlled and conscious breathing calms the nervous system and creates space for regeneration.
- Massages: They promote blood circulation, relieve tension and help the body to reduce stress.
- Yoga: Gentle movements and stretches improve the flow of energy and promote inner peace.
What these approaches have in common is that they reduce stress and allow the body to enter a relaxed state, which is essential for healing. It should be noted that healing can be a long-term process that requires patience.
Energetic bodywork to harmonize the energy field
Energetic bodywork aims to recognize and balance tension drops in the energy field. This is done using various techniques, as in the approaches described above:
- Focus on the causes of energy blockages: These are analyzed and eliminated so that the self-healing power is reactivated.
- Healing through "being there": One of the most original forms of energetic healing is natural attention, such as that given by a mother to a child in pain. By simply holding the child lovingly, she gives it space to heal.
The key: creating space for healing
The basis of energetic healing is to give space to the healing process. This means being there for the affected person, giving them time and supporting them without imposing anything. The focus should be on the person's own strength, which is reactivated through this support.
In short: whether through bodywork or energetic healing - the decisive factor is that the energy field is brought into a state that enables natural self-healing.
How to integrate energetic healing into everyday life to promote long-term health?
Energetic healing is easy to incorporate into our everyday lives without the need for a lot of time or complicated processes. It is more about taking regular short breaks, listening to ourselves and reacting to changes in our energy field in good time.
Regular self-awareness
When we are in balance, a little attention is often enough to keep us stable and healthy. We can do this by:
- Taking short breaks every day: Let's take two to three minutes in the morning to pause, feel how we are feeling and notice our energy.
- Doing weekly check-ins: If we have little time, it can help to consciously reflect on our strength and energy levels once a week.
The aim is to become aware of ourselves at an early stage and to feel our inner strength.
The importance of early detection
One of the most important points is to recognize early on when our energy field is out of balance. We often ignore the first signs or underestimate them - until it becomes difficult to get back into balance. Here is a comparison:
With an incipient hip problem, you can achieve a lot with manual therapy if you react quickly. However, if you wait years and ignore the pain, the only option may be surgery. It's the same with our energy. If we realize early on that something is wrong, we can take small steps to restore our balance.
Self-care in everyday life
For energetic healing to work in the long term, it is important to pay regular attention to ourselves. This means:
- Sensing early on when something is wrong.
- To consciously take time to regain our own strength.
If we are mindful of ourselves and act timely, it often only takes a little to stay strong and healthy in the long term. It is the ability to be sensitive to our own energy that helps us to stay in balance in everyday life.
Conclusion – How Does Energy Healing Sustainably Strengthen the Body and Soul?
Energy healing activates the body’s self-healing powers by restoring balance to the energetic system of body, mind, and soul. Sustainable healing doesn’t result from supplying foreign energy, but from releasing energetic blockages and relieving internal tension, thereby reactivating the system’s natural functionality.
Mindfulness, self-awareness, and regularly taking intentional breaks during daily life help detect early signs of imbalance in your energy field — supporting long-term health and emotional stability.
