What Is Healing Energy?

By Naomi M. | Purple Phoenix Wellness

You may have heard phrases like “raise your vibration” or “clear your energy,” but what does that actually mean? What is healing energy—and how does it interact with your body?

The short answer? We are energy.
The long answer? Healing energy is a bridge between science, spirituality, and the sacred intelligence that flows through everything.

Let’s explore.

We Live in a Sea of Energy

According to physics, more than 99.99% of matter is empty space, filled with subtle forms of energy—plasma, electromagnetic fields, vibrations. We’re not just walking around in energy; we are energy.

The human body is constantly receiving, transmitting, and interpreting energy fields. The mind, heart, nervous system, and even DNA all act like antennas—reading and responding to the energetic world around us.

There are two key energy fields at play:

  • The Universal Electromagnetic Energy Field
    The infinite sea of life force that permeates the universe. Some call it Qi, Prana, Source, God-energy, or the quantum field. Science sees it as electromagnetism and plasma—still largely a mystery.

  • The Human Electromagnetic Energy Field (Aura)
    Our own personal energetic imprint. It reflects our physical health, emotions, thoughts, and spiritual state. This is where energy work like Reiki becomes transformational.

How the Body Interprets Energy

Let’s break down how your body works with this subtle life force:

  • The Mind: Receives electromagnetic signals through brain nerves—like sight, sound, and thought impressions. Ever had a “gut feeling” or sensed someone’s energy before they spoke? That’s energy perception.

  • The Heart: Emits one of the strongest electromagnetic fields in the body. It interprets energy as emotion, especially love, compassion, and connection. When you’re heartbroken or overwhelmed with joy—you’re feeling energy move.

  • The DNA: Yes—your very cells are capable of receiving energetic input from the environment. Epigenetics is just scratching the surface of how belief, environment, and intention affect gene expression.

  • The Nervous System: Sends signals throughout the body—translating energetic inputs into physical or emotional sensations. It’s why you might cry during energy healing or feel warmth during meditation.

  • The Body Itself: Is a microcosm of universal energy. We are not separate from the Earth, cosmos, or consciousness. We channel the unseen constantly—whether or not we’re aware.

What This Means for Healing

When we talk about healing energy, we’re not just talking about something abstract or mystical. We’re talking about supporting the body’s natural ability to realign, release, and restore.

In my Reiki sessions and energy healing work at Purple Phoenix Wellness, we work directly with this energetic field to:

  • Clear energetic blockages (emotional, spiritual, or physical)

  • Regulate the nervous system and promote calm

  • Reconnect you to your own inner source of vitality

  • Activate the body’s self-healing mechanisms

  • Deepen clarity, intuition, and peace

Healing Is Remembering

Healing energy doesn’t fix you—because you are not broken.
It helps you remember the wholeness you already are.

We all have access to this field. Reiki, meditation, breathwork, grief rituals, and forest therapy are just some of the ways I help clients tune in to it.

Whether you're navigating chronic stress, emotional pain, grief, or a life transition, energy healing can offer a supportive, non-invasive pathway to grounding, clarity, and renewal.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need to fully understand the science of energy to benefit from it—just like you don’t need to understand electricity to turn on a light. What matters is that you’re willing to explore, receive, and reconnect.

If this resonates with you, I invite you to Book a session or explore my other offerings in grief support, meditation, and transitional care. Because healing is not just about the body—it’s about your soul, your energy, and your story. Have questions or want to connect? Schedule a call here ➡️
