The good news is that anyone can learn energy healing techniques. It's a natural ability we all have. Children take to subtle energy healing easily because they are not limited by beliefs that hinder adults.

The following free energy healing techniques are quite effective and easy to learn. Although these are primarily subtle energy techniques, there are many ways to do healing energy work.

A good first step as you begin to learn energy healing is to read the following pages. This will deepen your understanding of the energy system and some principles of energy healing.

• Human biofields and levels of healing will provide you a basic understanding of the field.
• Healing with energy
• Universal energy healing principles lay the groundwork for understanding what energy healing is and the intention behind it.
• Earth energy healing teaches you about two important energy healing practices, grounding and centering. Many energy healers take a moment to do this before every healing and hold this state throughout the session. This exercise is also very healing in and of itself.

Here are three easy subtle energy healing techniques to play with as you learn energy healing. When you feel comfortable with them, practice on someone else.

Feel the Energy

The palms of your hands have hundreds of nerve endings in them. Secondary chakra or energy centers are located in the fingertips and palms.

Step One - Rub your palms and fingertips together briskly until they start to heat up. This creates friction and sensitizes the nerve endings so the energy is easier to feel.

Step Two - Touch your five fingertip pads together lightly. Your fingers will be bent and your palms apart.

Step Three - Focus your attention softly on the space between your hands. Breathe evenly and calmly for a few breaths.

This induces a mild meditative state which slows your brain waves so it's easier to sense the energy. At this point you may already feel your fingertips heating up or have a sense of energy building between your hands. If not, no worries, just relax and proceed to the next step.

Step Four - Stay relaxed. Keeping your attention on the space between your fingers and palms, begin pulling your hands apart a few inches. Then bring them back towards each other until your fingertips almost touch again but not quite. Repeat this slowly. It's almost like playing with a little accordian or slinky. Notice the feeling in your fingertips and palms, but keep your gaze between your hands. You may notice a sense of resistance or pressure building in this space. It may feel like your fingertips are connected by rubber bands. You are feeling energy. That's all there is to it.

If you don't feel anything the first few times, don't worry. Most people do, but I wasn't one of them. It took me months. Now I feel the energy easily. I only have to think of healing and that familiar feeling begins to build up in my hands.

Be patient with yourself as you learn energy healing. It's easy to get all serious about it, but this actually makes it more difficult. Have an attitude of play and wonder and reverence (yes they go together. You can't do it wrong. Even if you don't feel anything, it's still happening.

The Energy Ball

Do the steps above for feeling the energy.
Continue to build the energy ball between your hands by pulling them a bit further apart each time until the ball is the size of a big grapefruit (more or less).

Breathe in and imagine the energy collecting in the heart chakra at the center of your chest. On the out-breath, imagine the energy going down your arms and through your hands. The sensations will probably feel stronger.

When you have this energy ball built up, offer it to an area of the body that needs it. The kidney area and the joints are good places to offer energy. For example, bring it to your aching knee. Hold it there until you sense it was received.

Clearing

You may notice that the pain sometimes intensifies a bit as you make the passes, but this goes away. It may also take a few minutes after you finish clearing for you to notice a difference in how you feel.

To get a feel for clearing, put your right hand lightly on the skin above your left elbow and then in one motion smooth it all the way down and off your fingers. Repeat a few times. Now try it an inch or so off the skin.

To start the process, set your intention to facilitate healing. and rub your hands together briskly a few times.

Hold your relaxed hand or hands an inch or two above the body. It's okay if you touch the skin.

Start the gentle sweeping motion a few inches before the troubled area and continue past it. With a light touch, smooth the energy field several times until you feel like it is enough. Smooth down towards the feet, or arms towards fingers and a few inches past. If you are working on the head it's best to work a bit further away.
