Earth energy healing is the belief that, by subtle manipulations of the human body's energy and the energy of the Earth, illnesses and injuries can be healed. Although earth energy healing has been used for centuries in some cultures, with the boom of New Age trends it has risen in prominence. Many areas now offer earth energy healing services as an alternative, or homeopathic, medicine.

Practitioners of earth energy healing believe that since all life is energy, by using the innate energy of the Earth individuals can be healed of their afflictions. They believe that the human body is made of not only a physical body, but an energy body as well. These layers of energy, called chakras, originate from several different key areas of the human body. Earth energy healing states that by positively influencing these energy centers, healing can be attained.

Many practitioners of earth energy healing use tools to aid them. These tools often consist of crystals, herbs, or other items that supposedly have certain vibrational aspects that affect the energy of the human body in a beneficial way. Others who practice earth energy healing do not use any tools, and believe that by intent and willpower alone they can heal afflictions.

There is a large variety of specific practices when considering earth energy healing. Some more well known methods are Feng Shui, meditation, Reflexology, Yoga, and Aromatherapy. What these all share is the belief that earth energy can be manipulated to be beneficial to the human body. One of the most practiced forms of earth energy healing is Reiki.

Reiki, an ancient form of earth energy healing, is Japanese in origin and roughly translates to "spiritually guided life force energy." Like most forms of earth energy healing, Reiki states that by harmonizing the elements of the human bodies energy, health and well-being can be attained. Reiki is not a religion, but it does state that the unseen healing earth energy comes from God. Though the energy is said to come from God, this form of earth energy healing does not require for one to believe in a higher power.

While retaining no religious connotations, Reiki masters claim that to be most effective with earth energy healing, one must be at peace and promote harmony. By being attuned to oneself and living in a harmonic manner with others, a Reiki practitioner is more likely to achieve success.
