What Is Energy Healing? A Peek Inside My Upcoming Book
I'm so excited to share that I've been busy the last while writing my next book!
It's a new book teaching Accelerated Release Technique(TM), and I'm writing it because ART has changed a LOT since I wrote my original book on it, The Energy Healing Bible, and it is time for an update.
It's still early days — no launch date, no cover design, no dramatic countdown timer. But I had someone ask me the question "What is Energy Healing?" a few days ago and I found myself expressing my ideas as I had written them in this chapter. I could see it in her eyes as the "aha" moment came and it all clicked, so I was actually quite proud of myself for coming up with a description that I'm finally satisfied with!
I wanted it on my blog for anyone else asking the same question.
So today I'm sharing it with you — almost exactly as it appears in the manuscript — as a first look at what's coming.
Ready? Here's Chapter 1.

Chapter 1: What Is Energy Healing?
Before I begin to teach you energy healing techniques, it is important that we have a firm understanding of what energy healing actually is.
And given how much can really be captured under the umbrella of "energy healing," I would suggest it is easier to explain what energy healing is not, and then go from there.
Energy healing excludes any form of healing that attempts to relieve or reduce physical or emotional dis-ease through manipulation of the physical body. Interventions like diet, exercise, pharmaceutical or naturopathic medications, surgery, massage, and so on. I would also go so far as to include all forms of "talk therapy" including psychotherapy, counselling, and even NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), parts therapy, and inner child healing — all of which seek to foster behaviour change through techniques that strive to shift the underlying thought patterns through mental change work.
Energy Healing IS Spiritual Healing
The foundation of energy healing is that we are spiritual beings, made of pure energy, manifesting a physical body in order to have an earth experience.
Put another way, we exist in two realms simultaneously: the spiritual realm, where our consciousness exists and through which we are connected through Universal Consciousness (aka the Divine) to everything else in existence within the Universe — and the physical realm (Earth) where we have bodies and minds separate and distinct from everything else.
Energy healing seeks to influence physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual states through directly addressing us as energetic beings rather than physical ones.
Just as there are many ways to heal a given problem through physical interventions (adjustments in diet, exercise, and medication or surgery are very different approaches, but could all successfully reduce someone's pain), there are many different energetic interventions that could do the same thing in their own unique ways — including acupuncture, reflexology, hypnosis, and homeopathy, to name a few. While it is outside the scope of this book to go into detail on the various energetic healing modalities, the basic premise of dis-ease is that there is something wrong with the nature of the energy flow — either the quality of the energy itself, a blockage, or some other interference — that is manifesting improperly in the physical realm.
To be clear, both types of intervention — physical and spiritual — can work. But true healing only occurs when the interventions address the spiritual root cause.
Most medication manages symptoms only — requiring consistent use to maintain a certain level of relief, which is not true healing. Acupuncture cannot heal emotional trauma, however it can restore balance to a body suffering from a blockage in energy flow. Engaging in an exercise program has potent effects on the body, causing a cascade of changes including reducing cortisol (stress hormone) levels, which in turn can positively affect happiness, self-esteem, self-worth and many other emotions and beliefs. Emotions and beliefs don't have a physical form — they live in the body as energy — the negative forms of which create many of the blockages known to impede energy flow.
You should be able to see now why some healing methods create lasting change, while others provide only temporary relief.
The Physics of It All
The most important principle you need to remember is Einstein's mass-energy conservation principle, E=mc². Matter is neither created nor destroyed, meaning energy and mass are interchangeable. Put another way, our energy is in constant flow between the physical and spiritual realms — and as the energy moves from one to the other, it goes from a pure energetic state (spiritual realm) to our manifested physical reality (physical realm, aka Earth) and then back again.
Change the spiritual and you change the physical. Immediately.
Okay, now that you've got a general idea of the physical/spiritual divide, and how our physical experience is a manifestation of that which is going on within the spiritual realm — I hope you're ready to dive into the nature of the spiritual realm, because things are going to start getting trippy!

What Comes Next
And that's where Chapter 1 ends — right at the edge of the rabbit hole. :)
Chapter 2 goes deeper into the nature of the spiritual realm, and once I've got all that background out of the way, then we get right into the business of learning how to shift energy using a pendulum.
I anticipate sharing more chapters and behind-the-scenes glimpses as the book progresses. If you want to make sure you don't miss them, the best thing to do is to subscribe to my newsletter. All my blog posts get announced there as they come out.
In the meantime, if what you read in Chapter 1 resonated and you're wondering what it would look like to actually work on your own energetic root causes — that's exactly what I do in my one-on-one sessions using the Accelerated Release Technique.

What is the difference between energy healing and traditional medicine?
Traditional medicine addresses the physical body — symptoms, chemistry, and structure. Energy healing addresses the spiritual root cause that created those symptoms, which is why it can produce permanent rather than managed results.
Is energy healing the same as spiritual healing?
Yes — energy healing and spiritual healing refer to the same foundational approach: working with us as energetic, spiritual beings rather than purely physical ones to create change at the root level.
Can energy healing work alongside conventional medical treatment?
Absolutely. Energy healing and conventional medicine are not mutually exclusive. Many people use both — conventional treatment to manage symptoms while energy healing addresses the underlying root cause.
What does E=mc² have to do with healing?
Einstein's principle tells us that energy and matter are interchangeable — neither created nor destroyed, just transformed. Applied to healing, this means that shifting energy in the spiritual realm creates immediate change in the physical realm. It's the physics behind why energy healing works.
What kind of issues can be addressed through energy healing?
Physical symptoms, chronic conditions, emotional patterns, mental blocks, and spiritual disconnection can all have energetic root causes that are addressable through energy healing modalities like ART.
