How can Energy Healing help me?


Energy healing is a non-invasive technique that helps to restore harmony, energy and balance in your energy system. It does this by channelling the universal life force. Some energy healing modalities use touch during a treatment session to clear, balance and energise your energy fields. However, some don’t use touch at all.

An energy healer can transfer energy remotely to heal you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually no matter the distance. You can use energy healing alongside the conventional healthcare services or with other natural approaches to help with all your healing.

Energy healing works by opening your energy centres, clearing them out and channelling new energy into you. This helps to facilitate your natural healing mechanisms. By using energy healing you are unblocking your energy fields and helping to prevent future problems. It can also help to identify the issues before they manifest as pain in your body.

The benefits

Energy healing works on your mind, emotions, body and spirit. It is a process of transferring pure, positive energy to you. This then brings about numerous benefits for your physical, mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual self.

It helps your physical self by treating ailments, using energy to repair skeletal or muscular injuries, restoring balance to your basic body systems and it promotes overall wellness and improved immunity. For your mental health it helps to release internal negative thoughts and become more positive. It also helps you let go of old feelings such as regret and guilt that have been holding you back, helps you conquer fears, build confidence and develop a positive mindset. When it comes to your emotional self it can help to ease pain brought on by depression and start to bring joy into your everyday life. It can help to release anxiety and gives you a sense of calmness and confidence, sooth your anger and relieve sadness. On a spiritual level it can give you a sense of purpose and meaning in life, encourage your natural intuition to unfold and guide you in the right direction. It can help you gain new insight and harness better connection to all the people in your life.

Types of energy healing

There are quite a few different types of energy healing modalities. Each one follows its own process, but they all have the same outcome as the goal. This is to make some lasting changes in your energy field and improve your overall health. Some of the energy healing modalities that you may come across are polarity therapy, reflexology, reiki, touch for health, Pranic healing, emotional freedom technique or EFT, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, or PEMF or Theta healing.

Is it Ulcerative Colitis, Leaky Gut or inflammation?

 


Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. This disease causes inflammation and ulcers in the lining of your large intestine. Symptoms that you may experience can be diarrhea, abdominal pain, and blood in your stool. It is an autoimmune condition, meaning that it's caused by a problem with your immune system. There are things you can do to help reduce the inflammation and treat your symptoms.  

The link to Leaky Gut issues

Another problem that can come from this disease is leaky gut. Your epithelial lining of your intestines only let small molecules get through to your bloodstream. Leaky gut is when this lining starts to let larger molecules such as food proteins, toxins, and bacteria get through. This triggers an inflammatory immune response and it creates antibodies.

By eating foods that your body cannot digest properly you are creating more inflammation. This includes food sensitivities. All this in turn reduces your good bacteria in your gut and allows for the growth of bad bacteria.

When the flora in your gut is imbalanced it’s called dysbiosis. These bacterial changes in your gut cause your body to start to ferment your food in the intestines without being digested. This leads to undesirable digestive symptoms. Your immune system will also recognize the new bacteria and yeast as another offending invader. This will cause you more inflammation, more intestinal permeability, and more immune responses in the bloodstream. When you have an excess of the bacteria Klebsiella and Prevotella it can also trigger more inflammation causing ulcerative colitis.

Triggers to cause Ulcerative Colitis

There are different things that may trigger ulcerative colitis. One of these things is food sensitivities. These are different to food allergies as a food sensitivity can have a delayed reaction. Your body may not respond to the certain food for up to 72 hours after it’s consumed. Some sensitivities can include wheat, yeast, gluten, dairy, and sugar. Notice that gluten sensitivity is not the same as wheat and yeast. Gluten free is of no consequence hardly even though it is being sold as a ‘health food’ by the supermarkets. The reason these sensitivities can trigger ulcerative colitis is because they cause inflammation. There are many other foods that can do this and the best way to find out which is to have a test.

Another trigger can be pesticides. Exposure to pesticides can contribute to autoimmunity issues as pesticides can disrupt the endocrine system.

Food additives and preservatives can also be triggering for some people. Industrial food additives can cause big problems with your gut barrier function, and increase the leakages. This can lead to the entry of foreign antigens, causing an immune response and activate the inflammatory, autoimmune response.

Another trigger is heavy metals. These can influence your immune response by altering how you respond to disease. The metals to pay the most attention to include mercury, lead, cadmium, and aluminium.

Infections can also influence your gut health issues. A single organism may be able to trigger even more than one autoimmune disease.

If you are struggling with symptoms that are unexplainable it could indicate ulcerative colitis. Give us a call, message or text to www.stressfreehealthmanagement.com to see how we can help you find the cause of your unexplained illnesses.
