There is a more subtle yet profoundly influential form of energy that permeates our environments and personal interactions. This is what some might call spiritual or metaphysical energy.

In this article Jack Rourke, a renowned medical intuitive and psychic based in Los Angeles, demystifies the concept of energy, making it relevant and practical for modern life. As more people recognize the impact of unseen energy on their daily experiences, Rourke’s teachings serve as a valuable guide to achieving a balanced and vibrant existence, highlighting the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

Energy Work by Genuine Practitioners Exists

Energy healing, a holistic practice aimed at balancing and restoring the body’s energy flow, has gained significant mainstream recognition through methods like Reiki. Originating from Japan, Reiki involves the transfer of energy through the practitioner’s hands to the patient to promote physical, emotional, and some say spiritual healing. This practice has permeated various aspects of healthcare and wellness, offering a range of benefits supported by anecdotal evidence and some scientific research.

One of the primary mainstream applications of Reiki is in clinical settings. Many medical institutions now incorporate Reiki as a complementary therapy alongside conventional treatments. For instance, prominent hospitals such as the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic offer Reiki sessions to patients undergoing surgery or those receiving cancer treatments. The rationale behind this integration is to reduce stress, alleviate pain, and enhance the overall healing process. Patients often report feeling more relaxed and less anxious, which can significantly impact recovery rates and improve the overall hospital experience.

Reiki is also widely used in mental health care. Mental health practitioners integrate Reiki into treatment plans for individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The calming effects of Reiki sessions can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by promoting relaxation and reducing stress hormones. This makes it a valuable tool in a comprehensive mental health care strategy, offering patients a non-invasive and gentle method to support their emotional well-being.

Incorporating Reiki into wellness and self-care routines is another prevalent trend. Many people attend Reiki sessions regularly as part of their personal wellness regimen. Spas, wellness centers, and holistic health clinics often offer Reiki as part of their service menu. These sessions can help individuals manage stress, improve sleep quality, and maintain a sense of balance and well-being. Regular Reiki practice is believed to boost the immune system, increase energy levels, and foster a deep sense of peace, contributing to an overall healthier lifestyle.

Corporate wellness programs are also embracing Reiki to enhance employee well-being and productivity. Companies recognize that stress and burnout are significant issues affecting their workforce. By providing Reiki sessions as part of their wellness initiatives, they aim to create a more supportive and healthy work environment. Employees who participate in Reiki sessions often report feeling more focused, less stressed, and more satisfied with their job, which can lead to improved productivity and reduced absenteeism.

While there are many benefits to practices such as reiki when offered by skilled and kind-hearted practitioners, there are sadly also those who use belief in negative energy to manipulate vulnerable people seeking to manage their stress. Unscrupulous people posing as psychic practitioners blame the unsuspecting public for real life problems by assuring them they are afflicted by negative energy. The relief according to these deceivers, is a steep financial investment to rid them of their blocked or bad energy. You NEVER need energy cleaned or chakras balanced by a psychic! 

Clearing your own energy begins with self acceptance. By cultivating gratitude for your life and the beauty of being alive we give ourselves the kindness and freedom to be who we truly are. By disciplining our minds to look for solutions and refrain from cynicism and judging others we begin to feel more optimism. A receptive mindset makes it easier to develop curiosity for the world which opens up avenues for positive social interactions. 

Jack Rourke teaches that when we connect with others we are exchanging energy with them, literally. When we speak we are emitting sound waves. When we make eye contact, we are absorbing biophotons into our nervous system through our eyes. How we hold our bodies in the form of our posture, the tone of our voices, communicate patterns of energy. Likewise, who we spend time with, what we consume through media, and the natural or unnatural spaces we occupy, all matter. We are always giving and receiving energy. Energy is life. Your mindset, actions and intentions matter. How you choose to experience the sensory energy you take in and give out is your decision. You do not need a psychic to alleviate you of these responsibilities.

Eating healthy food and drinking plenty of water also wards of depression and minimizes physical discomfort by mitigating inflammation. Being physically active is also an important way to break sedentary habits that contribute to feelings of redundancy and stagnation. By creating new habits that require action, our body increases production of feel-good hormones and we gain confidence in our body, a sharper mind, and greater opportunity to connect with others. This is how we cleans and work with our energy, according to Rourke. 

Jack Rourke’s theories on energy offer a profound perspective on maintaining spiritual and emotional well-being. His insights underscore the importance of self-promoting harmony and health.

By integrating simple practices like meditation, a healthy diet, exercise, as well as gratitude and curiosity practices, Rourke believes anyone seeking to enhance their energetic hygiene – can. ☼
