Energy cleansing stems from the belief that all things, not just humans, have a unique vibration and are in a constant state of receiving and radiating energy.
It is our individual vibration that attracts or repels the experiences that we most long for and desire.
Energy cleansing for protection and alignment has been practiced for thousands of years in cultures all around the world, from India and Native America to China and Africa. In these cultures, the idea that we are electromagnetic beings is woven into an everyday understanding of the world.
Ancient Indian wisdom, for example, works with the chakra system. You can imagine these chakras as spinning disks of energy that are located at seven energy centres that run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, in the subtle or energetic body. These energy centres correspond to the major organs within the physical body and, when they are blocked or out of balance, our sense of self and wellbeing are impacted, leaving us feeling anxious, sad, depleted, and stuck.
