Good morning :sunrise: , we have at least a few types of Energy Healers in the forum. I don’t know how they approach energy with their practice or how they use their healing energy within their practice. I am definitely some kind of healer or light worker, sounds corny, but I couldn’t think of a better way to word it. I just have to sort out myself before I offer anything to anyone else.

  • Crystal Healing
  • Reiki Healing
  • Energy Healing
  • Chakra Healing

We also have members that work with spirits on a regular basis. I still don’t know or understand enough about ancestors or spirits of any kind, just little bits here & there. Depending on the type of spirit work you are talking about there is your own spirit as @Garnet mentioned, there are spirits from others that have crossed over the veil whether related to you or not. There is an energy signature in a lot of things & other spirits could be from nature (plants, herbs, trees, stones, earth). Faeries & sprites & other spiritual beings & their connections can be useful too, but learning about the specific entity you are working with should assist you with how to approach them or not. :fairy:

Personally, for me - I am an empath & highly sensitive to energies around me. As I was learning to work with meditation & focus & intent then moved on to healing myself & learning & researching different methods & modalities. Since I have been drawn to crystals for many years, I decided to take a Crystal Healing Course with Advanced Practitioner training. Through those courses, I was more introduced to Chakras & touched on Reiki. So right now I am working on learning about the Chakra energy centers. I started with the main 7 & now I am working on learning up to 12 but there are 9 that I am interested in working with before I get to the others. I also had recently learned through different appointments to release energy/emotions from myself, I learned that I can move energy through myself, it’s my own energy but I can focus it to go to specific areas of myself.

I have become more aware & present & connected with nature through all of this time working on myself, my path, empath/sensitivity, healing, & energy work. I find working in my yard or gardening is a great way to stay connected & grounded.

From there in my practice, I work with crystals, herbs :herb:, astrology :milky_way: , deities, candle :candle: ritual, the elements :air_element: :earth_element: :fire_element: :spirit_element: :water_element:, the moon :waxing_crescent_moon: :full_moon: :waning_crescent_moon:, kitchen & green magic, tarot, pendulum, oracle, runes (divination) & spells, but I use my energy to focus & use guided meditations :woman_in_lotus_position: & Breath Work to help me with whatever it is I am doing at that time. Energy work is used in witchcraft to help with manifestation or the Law of Attraction (if that is part of your practice) & I use it to focus my energy where it needs to go or release what no longer serves me. I use the other items to compliment each other on what I do within my practice. I follow a more :triquetra: Celtic Paganism/Irish Paganism path.

I’m hoping others can help answer your question(s). Everyone is going to have their own answer so whatever feels right to you & how you use it in your practice will be very personal. Any one of the energy workers here may jump in with their experiences too as they are in & out of the forum today/tomorrow :hugs:
