Healing Energy

Does anyone believe in healing energy and if so, to what length does its power extend?
I've read articles about Reiki, about people with positive outlooks surviving cancer, about ice crystals forming beautiful geometric shapes in the presence of positive energy..
Can we manipulate energy? In the case of healing, where does the negative energy go - is it transferred to the healer who is expected to be willing and prepared to receive it? Or is it washed out completely and passed elsewhere?
Without a doubt positivity has an immense effect on ones mind and disposition and subsequently their physical health.
How are these healing energies focused?
--- I feel a high-frequency low-amplitude vibrational energy in my solar plexus - it feels wonderful - what is it doing?
The solar plexus is connected to the third Chakra with connections to ego-identity - I know I've been horribly lost for some time and perhaps now I'm finally beginning to truly identify with myself? ---
It's incredible how we can possess such powerful and unusual feelings in parts of our bodies that are seemingly independent from our brains. It seems unreal.

I've had healing work done on me, and felt a profound shift in my awareness and a newly found sense of balance. I did not have these healings done for any illness, though I know others who have. Was it placebo? Who the hell knows? All I know is that it had an effect on me, and that I'm intrigued enough to look into it further, and am not so readily willing to dismiss it as others are.

All I know that 'energy' has a very specific definition and can be measured.
Getting personal attention from another human being can certainly be comforting, but there is no X factor going on.
If it is not replicable then it could be any of a million variables or nothing at all.
If it is replicable then it would be eligible for the Randi Million.
We have only covered this about 20,000 times now. It is really very, very basic, but seems we like to get stuck on magic.

I've been doing reiki for three years now and all I can tell you is that I can can feel that energy working. If it really is energy or just my imagination, that, I don't know.  Anyways, for ma it is a fun, relaxing and helping thing to do, so I keep doing it.

I said nothing of magic.
Perhaps it is manipulation of chemicals in the body through emotional stimulation, perhaps it is the power of the mind on placebo or something else, but something is happening.
It is not difficult to accept the possibility that we have some control over positive and negative energies. Not like we have the Force or are from Dragon Ball Z - it could work in a way similar to something as simple as static electricity or as complicated as photosynthesis.

There has to be a, "Healing energy" or we would never heal.
Look...
Focus on relaxation and your body will relax.
Dwell on positivity and you will be more positive.
Mammals REALLY enjoy being massaged. Cats... dogs... meerkats... humans... etc.
Let a pretty woman run her hands over you... and you will feel happy.
This is not magic... nor is it placebo. But, Reiki may be falsely advertised since YOU have to do most of the work. It is a mental exercise plus massage.
You want happy finish?

It's all about your attitude.
IMO, this kind of crap has the same effect as placebo. If you believe in crystal magic and energy fairies then your attitude to healing energy practicioners may make their "work" feel like it is doing something.
If I had a healing energy session, it wouldn't help me because I don't buy into that crap.

I disagree with one thing you said.
I don't think it IS a placebo... I think it is LIKE a placebo.
Fuck Reiki. A pretty lady running her hands CAREFULLY over a man's body will cause him to feel happy (or, happier) and less stressed... at least 9 times out of 10.
That is NO placebo.
But it ain't magic either.

I'm not familiar with reiki. I was thinking about those people that put crystals on 'energy hubs' or whatever and light insense.

They often overlap. It can get confusing.
The problem with New Age fads is often NOT the core philosophy... rather, the problem is with the idiots who believe IN said philosophy, take it literally, and eventually pronounce themselves experts in things which can't be proven.

I'll have you know that using incense is no magic either and IT work because we are very responsive to scents. A certain scent can tremendously influence our state of mind.

The word "placebo" has such negative connotations. Why? A placebo could save your life.

Hmmm  Or it could be the interpretations that you give that are negative.  I am really interested in knowing why you think this way.

anyone interested in the subject should read Mutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan...she tells the story of her walk about through the australian outback with a small group of aboriginal people who call themselves the real people (and other humans mutants)...they practice a lot of spiritually "out there" stuff like telepathy, communication with plants, and even this healing energy you speak of...
its a great book and the message these people entrust marlo to relay to us all is a very profound, yet saddening one
