Shopping For An Energy Healer New York City Style

By Karyn Shields


The Big Apple is legendary for being fast-paced and highly stressful. Add the full complement of four seasons, and one has quite a health challenge before them. However, as common as healing energy is in New Age circles, when one thinks of an energy healer New York City doesn't fit the image.

Alternative therapies always seem to have more to do with Colorado or the Bay Area than Manhattan. Those hard-bitten types, however, will acknowledge that the body does carry an electric charge. The question at hand is whether human electricity implies that other, undetectable energies exist. When it comes to this, citizens of the Big Apple turn out to be not very different from citizens of the Left Coast.

Aura fields can be photographed, though skeptics are almost certain it's all some sort of trick. When it comes to health, auras are important because different auras are associated with specific characteristics. Certain aura colors are associated with different levels of spiritual development, different types of personality or emotional state, but they are also associated with particular degrees of health and sickness.

Most people have heard of wholly undetectable forms of human energy, such as the Chinese concept of chi. Chi, known as ki in Japan, is broadly accepted and studied by academic researchers. In the Western world, chi does enjoy a loose, public acceptance but the medical establishment is far less certain about its efficacy.

Most people who have heard of chi know it through two Asian practices. The first, acupuncture, is the most often performed of all forms of alternative medicine, and indeed many do not consider it to be alternative in any way. In short, acupuncture works by interrupting and redirecting the body's chi flow through the use of sharp needles.

Many of us know of chi through familiarity with martial arts, whose most august masters are known to make use of chi. The stereotype of the martial artist who uses chi is an elderly master long past his athletic peak, who uses chi not just to compensate for his failing physical powers but to perform feats well beyond the range of his juniors.

Reiki is also quite familiar to the alternative healing market. It is the most well-marketed form of the ancient masters' ability to heal by laying on hands. Reiki can be taught relatively easily, the license is not expensive, and practitioners are easy to find even in New York City.

The Japanese have also cultivated a subtle, solar power known as kaji. It is especially well known as a method for distance healing, as it doesn't require the healer and the patient to anywhere near each other. In fact they can be thousands of miles apart. Kaji can also be worked as a group, with many practitioners performing a healing remotely upon a particular patient.

In the public mind, energetic healing certainly benefits from the fact that the body does have a demonstrable electric charge. It also benefits from the fact that several of its most popular expressions are ancient and Asian, both of which carry a certain allure. Finally, there are simply many thousands of people who claim to have been healed through the use of these techniques, which might be the most convincing factor of all despite uncertain scientific evidence.
