Energetic healing is by no means anything new. In fact, this type of healing based on clearing energy blocks in the physical and subtle body date back to ancient times.
But these thousand-year-old healing methods are still as effective today as they were then and they can improve life as we know it now.
In this article, I want to take you on a journey back in time in which we’ll explore some fascinating facts about the art of healing in Ancient Egypt.
Energetic Healing in Ancient Egypt Involved a Shift in Energy
The Egyptians believed that the secret to ensuring health, prosperity and spiritual wellness was balancing the body’s flow of vital energy which streams through the human organism.
So whenever a sickness occurred, they would attribute it to a blockage impeding this flow of energy to run through the body flawlessly.
To restore balance and clear these energy barriers, the Ancient Egyptians used the so-called “Wands of Horus” which were metal cylinders filled with different special materials commonly used by Pharos and priests.
These cylinders were meant to harmonise the two flows of the energy which the Ancient Egyptians deemed vital. Called BA and KA, these two concepts greatly resemble the Ying and Yang philosophy in the Oriental tradition.
Ancient Egypt Healers Had to Possess the Wisdom of the Universe
To be able to perform energetic healing, Ancient Egyptians were required to go through an in-depth self-healing process first.
This was meant to clear all of their trauma, emotional and mental issues, any false belief systems, physical distress and other blocks which might prevent them from offering the best healing to others.
They believed that only at the end of this process, the healers would be pure enough to connect to higher entities.
This would allow them to gain superior insight and discover if the person they were treating was ready to let go of the illness or if they still needed to learn from it.
The future energy healers were also expected to have extensive knowledge of astronomy, energy release, sound or numerology.
Egyptian Healers Treated the Human Body as a Whole
Instead of focusing on merely treating the physical symptoms when an illness occurred, the Ancient Egyptians looked at the outer disease as something which indicated an internal imbalance.
This could be either a spiritual hurdle, trauma or just stress-induced turmoil.
Therefore, the practice of medicine in Ancient Egypt was significantly influenced by spiritual knowledge and universal sagacity.
Medical procedures and treatments were developed with great consideration to the spiritual aspect and were aimed to restore the overall wellness of the patient, as opposed to solely solving the physical ailment.
Energetic Healing Today
Energy healing techniques have been popularized in Middle East countries for thousands of years.
And now, more and more Western countries are picking up on them as well, with practices such as yoga and meditation getting increasingly popular.
What’s more, through spiritual guidance and mindfulness, an increasing number of people are discovering the healing seed within them and nurturing their intuitive skills through practice and intense study.
The world is acknowledging the immense potential of energy healing; a practice which benefits the mental, spiritual and physical welfare of the human body in a time, where chaos and stress seem to be the norm.
I hope you’ll be a part of this incredible spiritual awakening movement and that articles like this will inspire you to do so.
