A client receiving energy healing treatments on several consecutive days may feel discomfort. This can be considered a healing crisis.

 

A healing crisis is a temporary worsening of symptoms that occurs when the body is going through the process of healing itself. The client who initially felt improvement does not feel so well after some consecutive energy healing sessions.  This can be confusing and also alarming. This temporary period of malaise occurs before improvement stabilizes.

We may experience  physically  lethargy, increased sweating, rashes, headaches, flu-like symptoms, return of specific recent symptoms or recurrence of much older ones.

 

Mental and emotional symptoms are anger, sadness, fear and anxiety. The sequence that characterizes a healing crisis is:

 

• initial improvement

• temporary aggravation

• stabilized improvement.

 

When the healing crisis finishes, we feel much better, lighter and understand that going through this has been worthwhile.
