Energy is the basis of all life and a vital factor in healing. All matter is made up of energy. The Holistic Health Philosophy considers the human body as a Dynamic Energy System in a constant state of change. We are all an expression of energy and this energy permeates all living organisms. It is believed by some that we cannot perceive energy with the naked eye, therefore most find it difficult to comprehend. This does not mean it does not exist.
The mind is immensely powerful and the relationship between mind and body should never be underestimated. The emotional body runs the physical body. All life is based on energy, therefore health is considered to be the harmonious interplay of energies within the body.
Man lives in the energy (vital breath); he does not see the energy, just as a fish lives in water but does not see the water.
Healing with the hands (energy work) is probably one of the oldest arts known to man and the least understood.
