In reply to energy work and yoga?, posted by SatinDoll on November 30, 2006, at 12:44:45
Hi SatinDoll,
> What I am wondering is it kinda like doing yoga?
I think there is alot of crossover between yoga, energy work and acupuncture. They all focus on the life force be it prana or chi. My understanding is that energy work is used to help the body heal itself as well as to balance
the chakras and restore the flow of energy which helps create a sense of well being.I don't really know how to explain an actual energy session only to say that you don't have to really do anything. The energy worker runs his/her hands over your body, focusing on different areas/chakras. So, to make a long story short, yeah I guess it is like yoga.
I recently read a great book that ties all of this together with abuse and trauma called:
It breaks down the chakra system using Jungian psychology, somatic therapy, and childhood developmental therapy. It shows how developmental patterns, traumas and abuses affect each chakra. Its quite fascinating.
I've also cried with yoga and acupuncture too.
Have you been doing yoga for awhile?
