Exploring the Mystical World of Energy Healing, Energy Healers, and Spiritual Healing Practitioners. Most people have heard the term Energy Healer by now, and often ask us what is the difference between what you do as a Spiritual Healing Worker or Spiritual Healing Practitioner, versus an Energy Healer?
We offer this brief overview to explore the spiritual roles of Energy Healing, Energy Healers & Spiritual Workers, and Spiritual Healing Practitioners as part of Erzulie’s “Spiritual Summary Series™” for those curious about various Voodoo, Occult and Spiritual topics.
Again, this is just a brief summary on two very extensive disciplines, and we offer more in-depth and academic resources for exploring more information on spiritual workers as showcased in our extensive article section for those wishing to read more!
WHAT IS ENERGY HEALING VERSUS SPIRITUAL HEALING RITUALS: THE BASICS
A litter overview which helps define some of the finer points between Energy Healing, Energy Healers and Spiritual Healing Rituals:
- Energy healing and rituals are two aspects of spirituality that are often interconnected. Energy healing is a holistic approach to wellness that involves working with the body’s energy systems to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. This can involve practices like Reiki, acupuncture, or chakra healing, among others. Energy healing is based on the belief that the body is made up of energy and that blockages or imbalances in this energy can lead to physical or emotional pain and illness.
- Rituals, on the other hand, are practices or ceremonies that are performed with a specific intention or purpose. Rituals can be used to mark important life events, to connect with a higher power or spiritual energy, or to promote healing and growth.
- Many spiritual traditions, such as Voodoo or the African Traditional Religions, use rituals as a way to connect with the divine, to create a sacred space, or to promote healing and transformation. It is important to note that Voodoo is one of the most holistic traditions in the world, incorporating all of the elements for their healing rituals: mind, body, and spirit. We perceive everything as spiritual in nature, thus, all solutions or healing require the use of the Divine.
Energy healing and rituals can be used together to promote healing and spiritual growth and often are! For example, a Reiki practitioner might use specific rituals or symbols to focus their energy and intention during a healing session. We have 2 Mambos that are both highly experienced Vodou priestesses and certified Reiki Healers for an example.
Similarly, a practitioner of chakra healing might use specific rituals or practices to balance and align the body’s energy centers. Learn more about more popular spiritual healing techniques below.
SIMILARITIES OF ENERGY HEALING MODALITIES, RITUALS PERFORMED BY ENERGY HEALERS & SPIRITUAL HEALING PRACTITIONERS:
Both energy healers and spiritual practitioners work with subtle energy fields to promote healing, balance, and well-being. Here are some common practices and techniques often used by both energy healers & spiritual practitioners in various aspects of their practice: 
- Clearing and Balancing Energy: Energy healers help identify and clear blockages, imbalances, or disturbances in a person’s energy field. They may use various techniques such as scanning or sensing the energy, laying hands on or above the body, or using visualization to restore the flow of energy. We are huge advocates of clearing toxic spiritual energies through the use of Spiritual Clearing Rituals, Spiritual Baths and Spiritual Healing Rituals for just this reason.
- Chakra Healing: Many energy healers focus on the chakra system, which is believed to be the body’s energy center. They work to balance and align the chakras, ensuring optimal energy flow and vitality.
- Reiki: Reiki is a popular form of energy healing where the practitioner channels universal life force energy into the recipient’s body. This gentle technique aims to promote relaxation, stress reduction, and the body’s natural healing abilities.
- Intuitive Healing: Some energy healers rely on their intuition and psychic abilities to discern energetic imbalances and guide the healing process. They may use their intuitive insights to identify emotional or energetic patterns and support the client in releasing or transforming them.
- Distance Healing: Energy healing can be performed remotely, where the practitioner sends healing energy to the recipient across any distance. Distance healing is based on the understanding that energy is not limited by time or space and can be accessed and directed with intention. This technique is used in all of our Cleansing & Healing Voodoo Spells and Blockbuster Voodoo Spells for example.
- Aura Cleansing and Protection: Energy healers may work with the aura, the subtle energy field surrounding the body. They aim to cleanse, strengthen, and protect the aura, which can help in maintaining overall energetic well-being. Again, the use of spiritual energy is always needed in Protection Spells & Rituals.
- Emotional Release and Trauma Healing: Energy healing can support the release of emotional blockages and trauma stored in the body’s energy systems. Techniques such as breath work, visualization, and gentle touch may be used to facilitate emotional healing and restore balance. Emotional release and Trauma Healing & Breakthrough are crucial rituals for many of our clients in spiritual, emotional, and physical crises.
- Energetic Grounding and Centering: Energy healers often assist clients in grounding and centering themselves, helping them connect with the present moment and find stability and balance in their energy field.
- Education and Empowerment: A significant aspect of energy healing is empowering individuals to take an active role in their healing process. Energy healers may educate clients about energy awareness, self-care practices, and techniques they can use to support their own energetic well-being. As you can see with our extensive educational articles throughout our website, we are huge proponents of education and empowerment for all of our friends, family, and clients.
It’s important to note that energy healing is considered a complementary or alternative practice and should not replace conventional medical care. Energy healers often work in collaboration with other healthcare professionals to provide holistic support to individuals seeking healing and well-being.
Ultimately, the specific practices and rituals used in energy healing will depend on the practitioner’s training and beliefs. However, many people find that combining energy healing and rituals can be a powerful way to promote healing and spiritual growth.
