Energy Healing and Long Covid Recovery

2 Aug

The pandemic has affected each and every one of us differently. It has caused an increase in our stress and anxiety levels, while depleting our energy, positivity, and ability to function socially. For those who had the virus, being diagnosed with COVID-19 was just the beginning. In fact, many people who were diagnosed are still feeling the effects of the virus months later, in what is being called long Covid or post-Covid syndrome.

In general, to be classified as having long Covid you must have symptoms for 12 weeks or more. Recent studies indicate that one in seven people who get Covid-19 suffer with long Covid - with 198 million confirmed cases globally, this means many millions of people. Though it effects people of any age, including children, statistics report a higher risk of developing long Covid symptoms in women aged between 35 – 65 years, higher than any other age or gender group.

Symptoms of long Covid

The symptoms of long Covid are many and can include tiredness and fatigue, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, joint, muscle or chest pain, a lack of smell or taste, fever, or memory, concentration, or sleep problems. Symptoms can last for months after the original infection and are known to have a profound effect on the person’s overall health and wellbeing.

Over the past five months in my professional practice, I have met many clients suffering in this way and have found that one of the best and most effective ways of helping them to recover from long Covid is energy healing. Through the activation of subtle energy flows, energy healing can dramatically improve the physical, emotional and mental state of our being. When the body’s energy flows smoothly, our innate healing capabilities are activated, and we have a greater capacity to recover from a bout of illness than if we have to rely on allopathic methods alone. As there is no specific medical treatment for long Covid, energy healing can provide a beneficial complementary healthcare option in the person’s journey towards recovery.

Energy Healing Therapies

There are many different kinds of energy healing therapies which you can try, such as Bio Energy Healing, Sound Healing, Acupuncture, Craniosacral Therapy, Reflexology or Massage Therapy. While each is different in technique and approach, they all work in similar ways to help activate the body’s natural healing process and restore balance.

With that in mind, we are going to take a look at some of the benefits of energy healing and how it can help you recover from long Covid.

1. It promotes self-healing

Our bodies have a natural self-healing ability and energy healing, when administered correctly, can help to stimulate that process. Through boosting our immune system, supporting organ function, and restoring natural harmony to the body’s systems, energy healing can help us to feel better sooner.

2. It calms the body and mind

Following an energy healing treatment, you feel a sense of calmness and tranquility. This in turn has a deeply restorative effect on the body. As negative experiences, thoughts and emotions contribute to ‘disharmony’ in the body, finding peace and harmony through energy healing allows the body/mind time to reorganize and reset which is especially important during times of illness and recovery.

3. It boosts immunity and assists with detoxification

In this post pandemic world our immune system has more than ever taken center stage. Physical illness along with stress, worry and anxiety can have a detrimental effect on our immunity and make us more susceptible to extended post-infection symptoms such as viral fatigue.

Energy healing works to restore the energy and vitality of the body/mind system whilst promoting detoxification and rejuvenation of all the body systems, including lymphatic, circulatory, respiratory, muscular and nervous. With many of these systems being affected by Covid-19, energy healing works diligently to restore harmony and balance to the body while simultaneously assisting with healing and recovery.

4. It improves mental focus and restores vitality

With regular energy healing sessions, your mind will be clearer and more focused, making it easier to concentrate on what you are doing in the moment. One of the symptoms of long Covid is ‘brain fog’ which makes it difficult to concentrate and also affects our memory. Energy healing restores not only mental strength and clarity, but also emotional, physical, and spiritual vitality as well. Experts recommend busy professionals and students who are expecting busy days ahead should receive energy healing sessions to improve their concentration, memory retention, and analytical performance.

5. It improves Sleep

Long Covid is known to cause frequent bouts of sleeplessness which can affect just about every aspect of our mental and physical function. People often feel very relaxed and sleepy following an energy healing session and Reflexology, for example, has a profoundly restorative effect on the endocrine system, dramatically reducing stress hormones and in turn improving sleep. Those with insomnia or poor sleep patterns should receive energy healing in the late afternoon or evening, so they will sleep better at night.

6. It works complementary to mainstream health care

Complementary healing therapies are those which work alongside traditional western medicine. Knowing this you can feel secure that a consultation with a complementary healthcare practitioner will be respectful of any allopathic medicines you may taking, as well as taking into account that which is already working for you.

Energy healing seeks to restore balance and harmony to the body/mind system so as practitioners we are dedicated to keeping our clients’ best interests in mind at all times.
