Sometimes we neglect our diets, take on negative attitudes towards life, or let ourselves be invaded by stress and anxiety. This creates certain imbalances that lead to disease. An old axiom says that "all energy follows thought." The energy healing therapies are techniques that support the idea that mind, body, and spirit must work together holistically for a balanced, healthy body.
