“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it.
Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality.
It can be no other way.
This is not philosophy. This is physics.”
– Darryl Anka/Bashar
Have you ever walked into a room of people and felt something right away without understanding why? Perhaps the room felt stiff or unwelcoming. Or maybe it was the opposite, and you felt an immediate sense of warmth and camaraderie envelop you.
What you are sensing is energy. Something that you can feel in your body without consciously being aware of it.
But what does ‘energy’ mean?
High energy. Vibrational energy. Subtle energies. Energy field. These may sound like New Age buzz words, but they’re becoming common vernacular for a reason: understanding energy and how to work with it can create significant change in people’s lives.
Matter Versus Energy
Most of us operate based solely on the rules of the physical and material world and define ourselves through the tangible characteristics of our body, roles and environments. Heavy, slender, balding, blonde, accountant, mother, diabetic, triathlete.
We typically experience the physical world of form first. Most of us don’t ever shift our perspective to consider what lies beyond that–in the formless, spiritual, energetic dimension. We need to reverse this order of awareness.
Our five physical senses are made to detect a spectrum of energy and we use them trustingly to navigate through life each day. But we often mistakenly believe that they detect all that exists.
Have you ever considered what happens when you want to turn on a TV? You pick up the remote and push a button. Can you actually see, hear, smell, feel or taste the infrared laser that activates the picture that appears? No. But there is an energetic process happening that we rely on without knowing anything about it.
Similarly, without even being aware of it, our physical body has a structure of energy within and around it. Our physical form is enclosed in an aura field — like an energy bubble that acts as an energetic immune system, keeping harmful and toxic energies out while facilitating the flow of our natural life force energy. Numerous chakras, or energy vortexes, keep the life force energy flowing through our system. And running down through our chakras, meridians, spinal column and central nervous system is our midline: the pillar of energy that acts as our personal biocomputer. We can deliberately program the midline to address subconscious beliefs and energetic weakness.
Within this energy body, we also have extra senses which detect an even larger spectrum of energy. These extra-sensory perceptions are commonly known as Clair’s. Clair is French for clear.
- Clairvoyant: clear seeing
- Clairaudient: clear hearing
- Clairsentient: clear feeling
Intuitive healers use these extra senses to perceive beyond your physical body and into your energy system. From here, we can detect disconnections to Wholeness and reconnect them.
How Our Energetic System Works
All matter is made up of vibrating energy, and each energy is different, vibrating at its own unique rate — or frequency. A tree pulses with life differently than a drop of water, but each contains its own energy patterns. Human beings are no exception. As living beings, our energetic frequency influences our health, attitude, the people and circumstances we attract into our lives, as well as our inner peace.
Our thoughts, beliefs and feelings each have their own frequency, which explains why higher vibrating feelings such as love, joy and gratitude actually feel better. Fear, anger and shame vibrate at much lower frequencies and feel uncomfortable or unpleasant.
When we begin to realize that the thoughts and feelings that race through us, unchecked, determine our energetic frequency, we can begin to work with energy and see how it affects our lives.
Have you ever noticed that when you’re in a bad mood you tend to draw in similarly low-vibrating people or circumstances? ‘Like attracts like’ by pulling to you similar frequencies — whether positive or negative.
Try this experiment: concentrate on either holding a very high or a very low vibration when you are with others and see how it affects them. Your energy can be a powerful influence without your even knowing it.
Different Types of Energy Work
Energy work can address blockages in our energetic system or chakras as well as heal and repair toxic energy or holes in our aura field. Untreated, these imbalances can negatively impact our health and potentially create discord in our lives by attracting angry, aggressive people into our day or creating negative thoughts and self-sabotage.
Just as there are numerous healing modalities that focus on the physical body, such as massage, medication, or chiropractic work, there are also numerous ways to heal the energetic system. Each of these practices works with energy in its own way.
- Reiki, one of the more commonly known modalities, is the practice of channeling universal life force energy (Qi / Chi / Ki) to activate the natural healing processes of the patient’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being. It is a safe method of healing and it has been effective in helping virtually every known illness. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side-effects and promote recovery.

- Chakra Balancing is used to determine which major energy vortex in your body is blocked, closed, or malformed. The chakra needs to be healed and brought into proper alignment and size to create balance and even flow of life force energy throughout the body.

- Energy Clearing is the transformation and removal of dense, toxic frequencies in your energetic system. These include cords, or connections with others, which can be harmful; negative entities that interfere and pull your energy and frequency down; ancestral energy passed down to you just like your DNA; curses and enchantments.

- Intuitive Muscle Testing and Applied Kinesiology find energetic weaknesses in the body that need to be strengthened, often resulting in physical world drama or issues neutralizing or falling away.
Ripple Effect
Science has now embraced what mystics have been saying for centuries: we are made of energy, not matter. And, it is our energetics that determine our material and physical reality, not the other way around. As energy work becomes more widely understood, we are seeing that if we can manipulate energy first, the material world shifts as a result.
Think of an area of your life where you are dearly wanting to affect change. Have you been “doing” or “trying” like crazy but with little impact? Working to alter the physical dimension of our lives needs to begin by working with the energetic side of things first.
Energy work and the healing that comes from it raises our frequency…which changes the reality of our lives…which lifts those around us…and ultimately begins to transform all of humanity in the process.
