I was watching a video about energy healing and something called chakras. I had never heard about the chakra energy thing before. Has anyone heard of this? It claims that people have energies that are closed off and through special energy healing techniques it can heal broken energies and reduce anxiety. I am very much for anything natural having had horrible withdrawals from prescriptions. I really want to know if anyone has heard of this stuff before and if it works, helps even a little bit or is it all just phooey. I have heard a lot of theories about why I'm anxious from brain chemicals going all wonkie to my husband's favorite, "the aliens didn't follow the directions when putting me together." Does anyone think that it might be energy flow like fung shway or the chakra thing?
Thanks you guys :-)

I have read up a lot on chakras, and energy healing, though I am not confident enough that it will work. Not saying that it does't work on all people, but through my readings I believe it has to do with positive thinking, or the thought process. Believe that it did work, does work, etc. From my point of view it has to do with faith and believing. I have never had this done on me before, but I have tried different meditations for it. There are a lot of sites on the web that shows a person how to do it themselves. I have also read and bought books on energy healing and chakras, but nothing I can say that worked. I believe this sort of healing is more spiritual, than scientific. Not saying one is above the other, but I do know when it comes to type of healings such as those it comes down to faith and believing.

You can always try it out and see what happens. If you do please let me know the results :D would love to hear about them :)

Best wishes.

Hi, Razz!

Though I have never personally tried energy healing or chakras, I have read things like The Secret, watched DVD's on manifestation, etc. While I'm not a very spiritual person, I do believe that positive thinking does have a profound effect on the mind as well as the subconscious.

I would definitely give it a try, as there are really no negative side effects. I too would also like to hear about the results! Good luck! smilewinkgrin

Thank you for the input. I am going to look into it more and if it works in any way I'll post about it.
I was a little confused by the video I watched because it didn't really go into a whole lot of detail about how to work with energy. One thing I found mentioned tapping while saying positive affirmations. I wonder if there is a wrong way to tap or meditate. I'm going to give it a try and see what happens.
Thank you guys again.

Yes do give it a try and keep us posted!. I believe positive affirmations are sort of like positive talk. I have those that I say every morning before getting out of bed and every night before I go to bed. :)

I am Chinese and I have been introduced to chakra healing and the various important points in your body that correspond to it. chinese movies always mention that as well, which I learned a thing or two from :) I do believe it works, sharing from experience. I used to have a type of skin problem and my mom's friend recommended a chakra healing physician who helped improved the condition, but not 100%. the process involved pressing on the nerve plexus on the body. Check out the Kechara Healing Chakras. These Chakras refer to a piece of paper, adorned with saffron, which has diagrams and mantras written on it. Read the mantras and believe in the healing energy. It cannot be scientifically proven, only an act of faith.

My son had the anxiety problem almost 3 years. Initially,I did not knew how to deal with it. Psychiartrist prescribed him Citopram & Clonazepam (there were many side-effects). Lately, it got worse and we thought he were going crazy, he could not stop racing thoughts and consumed all his energy. We were terrify for his agony. We found a doctor and he ran a HRV test (heart rate variability) and found out that his sympathetic and parasympathic nerve values imbalance. SDNN shows parasympathic nerve value was too low. He now on Omega 3 ( exttract from Perilla leave), B5, Vitamin C to calm his nerve. Also exercise breathing when anxiety attacks. Inhale deep and quick, exhale slow and long. Along with avoid certain foods: caffein, carbonate drinks, MSG.... After one weeks, he gets muchbetter. Check your city for HRV test to find out your nerves imbalance. Hope it helps all that sufferred. GOD BLESS!

Orange Spoons,

Thanks for sharing you story :D. I am going to check out Kechara Healing Chakras. Honestly, I have studied many years on energy healing (from 1999- 2007) until I started majoring in psychology almost 6 years ago. Studying science has actually stopped my belief in holistic healing and energy healing, which before I was still a skeptic. However, I do believe the power of God and the possibilities that energy healing is real, but it has never worked on me before. Maybe if I tried believing more it would work, instead of being a skeptic over it. I enjoy seeing stories where it has worked before, this makes me only more interested in the topic.

Thank you everyone for the responses.
I've been looking into energy's and Chakras. My husband started taking Vitamin B to help with his depression and so far it's been working out really well. Thanks to a recommendation on another post I started to take Holy Basil. I am really trying to rebuild my life. So far I have a positive look on things. Working on positive thoughts, not focusing on the future but the now, looking into volunteering, lots of positive things. Thank you all again.
