My thoughts on a common energy healing misconception

I want to share with you this photo of these amazing women (and one man!) from last week’s SimplyAlign Refresher Course! These practitioners traveled from eight different states to be there – and what a super-fun group they were! My heart is so full and I’m still on a high from our few days together! (Also, this photo is proof of what I’m ‘ranting’ about in today’s email)

Let’s jump in –
Last week, I happened to catch a podcast on YouTube. The woman being interviewed described a period in her life when she was out of touch with her church and exploring “New Age Spirituality.” She listed things she was involved with including tarot cards, gemstones, Reiki, past lives, akashic records, and energy healing. Then she added that she was also deconstructing her values and experimenting with being bisexual, polyamorous, and was increasingly very unhappy with her husband.

The podcast went on to share how she eventually let go of all that, returning to her roots and rekindling her love for her husband. A beautiful story of personal and spiritual growth.

And then…
As I read through the comment section I saw responses like, “I’m glad she exposed the truth about how destructive energy healing is.”

*Sigh* Here’s the reality – what she described wasn’t pure energy healing at all. Yet some people hear the term ‘energy healing’ and lump it together with all these other practices. She had branched way out into things that are not a part of energy healing.

And how about this comment: “All the women I know who get into energy healing end up leaving their church and their husbands within four years”.

Oh, pah-lease! I personally know hundreds (yes hundreds) of good, Godly women who have been helping their families and clients with energy work for many, many years.

I realize that comments like these come from people who haven’t experienced energy healing for themselves, don’t really understand it, and mistakenly group energy healing with various New Age practices, thinking they’re all the same, and putting it all under the label of ‘energy healing’.

Seeing so many misconceptions about this, and how often this powerful tool gets misrepresented is frustrating to me. Mainly because it scares off people who could really be helped by it.

Here’s the thing,
Energy Healing is NOT the same as New Age Spirituality! Energy healing stands on its own. It’s not a religion, and it doesn’t push any particular worldview or belief system. Pure energy healing is actually based on science—it works with the body’s own bio-electricity and natural vibrational resonance, much like how tuning forks naturally align to match each other’s frequencies – simple, pure, and based on natural laws. This isn’t about promoting specific beliefs; it’s about aligning with your natural state of wellness.

I get it – energy work can sound mysterious at first. But here’s something fascinating: energy is used in hospitals every day in completely mainstream ways. Think about it—machines like EEGs, EKGs, and MRIs monitor and diagnose patients by reading the body’s electrical and magnetic signals. Energy isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a fundamental part of how our bodies work and how even modern medicine connects with them.

When it comes to energy healing, we’re simply working with the body’s natural energy field in a focused, mindful way. It’s a transformative practice, not something vague or mysterious. Just as we care for our bodies with physical exercise, diet, and sleep, energy healing is a way to care for our internal energy. It helps us reset, clear out emotional clutter, and stay grounded. It’s a practical, effective resource for reducing stress, releasing old patterns, and bringing us back to our natural balance.

To put it plainly: energy healing is about clearing what holds you back and strengthening what propels you forward. It’s not woo-woo; it’s not mystical—it’s a method of working with the natural systems within us, meeting you where you are and supporting you to be more at peace and more confident.

For anyone questioning whether energy healing might interfere with their beliefs or change who they are – as a God-loving woman who has done this work for over 25 years, here’s what I can tell you: clean energy healing doesn’t require you to change your values. It actually helps you to live them more fully.

SimplyAlign is the kind of straightforward, clean energy healing I believe in and practice. It’s all about helping you feel lighter, more grounded, and fully yourself, without any extra ‘fluff’.

I appreciate you reading my vent! My hope in sharing this is that someone who needs healing but has been hesitant will feel more comfortable taking that first step toward feeling better, knowing they can stay true to themselves in the process.
