The Big Apple is legendary for being fast-paced and highly stressful. Add the full complement of four seasons, and one has quite a health challenge before them. However, as common as healing energy is in New Age circles, when one thinks of an energy healer New York City doesn't fit the image.
For better or worse, anything that resembles an alternative therapy suggest California or New Mexico. New Yorkers are supposed to be cynical and hard-bitten. Even they would admit that the human body has a small electrical charge. The issue is whether biological electricity suggests the existence of energies that are not reliably detectable, and on this issue it turns out New Yorkers are just enthusiastic as any West Coast hippie.
Auric fields can be detected, and most have seen photos of them, although those who are skeptical will likely see these photos as trickery. Each different aura has its own unique character. Some colors suggest a particular level of spiritual attainment, as some colors suggest a particular sort of emotionality or personality, and still others suggest sickness or health.
Most people have heard of wholly undetectable forms of human energy, such as the Chinese concept of chi. Chi, known as ki in Japan, is broadly accepted and studied by academic researchers. In the Western world, chi does enjoy a loose, public acceptance but the medical establishment is far less certain about its efficacy.
Most people who have heard of chi know it through two Asian practices. The first, acupuncture, is the most often performed of all forms of alternative medicine, and indeed many do not consider it to be alternative in any way. In short, acupuncture works by interrupting and redirecting the body's chi flow through the use of sharp needles.
Many of us know of chi through familiarity with martial arts, whose most august masters are known to make use of chi. The stereotype of the martial artist who uses chi is an elderly master long past his athletic peak, who uses chi not just to compensate for his failing physical powers but to perform feats well beyond the range of his juniors.
Reiki is also quite familiar to the alternative healing market. It is the most well-marketed form of the ancient masters' ability to heal by laying on hands. Reiki can be taught relatively easily, the license is not expensive, and practitioners are easy to find even in New York City.
Kaji energy is a Japanese discovery which is extremely subtle, and seems to have some connection to the Sun. It is especially intriguing as a means distance healing, in which close proximity between healer and patient is not needed, and they can be oceans or continents apart. It can also be applied in group formats, where many individuals perform a remote healing on a single individual.
The body's electrical charge does lend some credence to energetic healing in the public mind. It certainly helps that most of its best known forms have popular authority from being so old, as well as from being from the Far East. In the end, thousands of patients believe they have been helped using these energies, and that is the ultimate selling point.
