What Is Energy Healing and How Does It Work?

In essence, we are more than physical bodies moving through the world. We are energetic beings, made from emotion, thought, spirit, and life force (and Starlight too, but that is for another article!). Energy healing is an invitation to remember this truth.  

Basically, Energy Healing is a holistic and spiritual practice that supports balance, harmony, and healing on physical, emotional, mental, and energetic levels. Rooted in ancient wisdom and increasingly embraced in modern wellness, energy healing works with the body’s natural energy systems to restore flow and alignment.

But what does that really mean, and how does it work?

Let’s dive in.

What Is Energy Healing?

Essentially, Energy Healing is based on the understanding that everything is energy, including the human body, emotions, thoughts, and consciousness itself.

Modern quantum physics tells us that, at the most basic level, all matter is made up of vibrating energy. What we experience as solid is, in fact, energy in motion.

Energy Healing is rooted in traditions that extend beyond spiritual movements. Ancient healing traditions across the world worked intentionally with sound, breath, and vibration as healing tools:

• Prana in Ayurveda and yoga

• Qi (Chi) in Traditional Chinese Medicine

• Ki in Traditional Japanese Medicine (Reiki)

• Universal life force energy in spiritual traditions

When our energy flows freely, we feel calm, grounded, and connected. When it becomes blocked or imbalanced, often due to stress, trauma, emotional suppression, or life transitions, we may experience anxiety, fatigue, emotional heaviness, physical discomfort, eventually leading to dis-ease, a state where the body and energy system fall out of balance.

Energy healing helps clear and rebalance these energetic blockages, allowing the body and soul to return to their natural state of well-being.

Sound has always been used to heal because vibration moves where words and thoughts cannot. The human voice, in particular, carries intention, frequency, and presence, making it a deeply intuitive and powerful healing instrument.

Harmonic Healing is Annabelle’s unique approach to energy healing, a combination of Sound, Voice, Color & Touch therapies.

How Energy Healing Works Through Sound, Voice, Color, Vibration, and Touch?

Energy healing works by supporting the body’s intelligence and self-healing ability. Rather than forcing change, it creates a safe energetic space where healing can unfold naturally.

The Voice & the Sound stimulate and support the healing reorganization of the energy field across all levels of experience: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

The subtle Touch allows a deeper listening of the energy field and offers a channel and support to the healing process.

The Color therapy focuses on chakra healing and re-patterning.

1. The Energy Body and the Body Respond to Frequency

Beyond the physical body exists an energetic system called the energy body, which includes the chakras, meridians, nadis and energetic field (AKA aura). This system is highly responsive to frequency and vibration, which is why sound healing, vibrational healing and color healing practices can be so effective.

Vibration does not only interact with the energy body, it also travels through the water in our bodies (remember that we are made of at least 70% of water). Because sound moves efficiently through water, these vibrations can gently reach tissues, fascia, organs, and the nervous system, rewiring, recalibrating, calming, and clearing.

2. Releasing Stored Energy Gently 

Unprocessed emotions, limiting beliefs, and past experiences can create density in the energy field. During an energy healing session, when the time is right, these blocks of crystallized energy can gently release in an organic way.

3. The Voice as a Healing Channel

The voice carries intention and resonance. When used consciously, it can help the body relax, recalibrate, and remember its natural harmony. Healing does not come from forcing change, but from allowing the body to attune to frequencies that support balance and wholeness.

What Happens During a Sound & Color Based Energy Healing Session?

Each energy healing session unfolds uniquely, guided by your Higher-Self and what your soul is ready to receive and process.

There is no “right” way to experience energy healing. Each session is perfect. Whatever arises is exactly what is meant to.

Sessions usually begin with a short conversation. This is a space for you to share whatever you wish to bring into the healing circle. You will then be invited to lie down on the massage table, fully clothed.

From here, sound, voice, touch and color are introduced gradually, allowing your nervous system and energy body to feel safe, supported, and receptive.

A session may include:

• Intuitive vocal toning and organic voice work

• Gentle touch on some areas of the body (feet, knees, belly, thymus, shoulders, head…)

• Chakra balancing using specific sound and color frequencies

• Grounding and harmonization through instruments such as drum or monolina, played over the body or within the energy field

• Gentle energetic clearing supported by vibrational resonance

• Light body activation through sacred geometry

People often report sensations such as warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, emotional release, or a profound sense of peace. Others simply feel rested and grounded.

Above all, this work is gentle and non-invasive. Nothing is forced. Each session meets you exactly where you are, honoring your uniqueness and your healing journey.

Benefits of Energy Healing

When sound and vibration are part of energy healing, the benefits often reach deeper layers of the nervous system and emotional body. These may include:

• Reduced stress and anxiety

• Emotional balance and clarity

• Increased energy and vitality

• Improved sleep and relaxation

• Enhanced intuition and self-awareness

• A deeper connection to self and purpose

Many people find that healing continues long after a session, as insights integrate and energetic shifts unfold.

Energy Healing, Sound, and Consciousness

Sound/Voice healing and energy healing are not about belief; they are about resonance. When the body encounters a frequency that feels supportive, it naturally begins to shift.

Quantum physics shows that energy responds to observation, intention, and vibration. In the same way, sound and voice offer a direct pathway into the present moment, where healing occurs without force.

Who Is Sound/Voice/Color-Based Energy Healing For?

Energy healing with sound, voice, and color is especially supportive for those who:

• Feel emotionally or energetically overwhelmed

• Carry stress or unexpressed emotions

• Are sensitive to sound, vibration, or subtle energy

• Desire a gentle, non-invasive healing experience

• Feel called to reconnect with their inner rhythm

No prior experience is needed. Openness is enough.
