Are you doing energy medicine? Are you working with the chakras?
Short answer: Kind of! I am working with energy as it is expressed in the physical structures—like the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and organs. The term energy medicine often refers to the subtle energy systems that cannot be seen or felt by untrained people. So while I am doing energy medicine, I’m not doing what most people mean when they use the term.

Many types of energy work address the subtle energy systems of the body, like the chakras or the fields around the body. These systems are energetic spaces where the energy is still ethereal enough that it hasn’t compressed into physical form. I work with energy that has the density of physical structures.
Everything is energy! All matter is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons, all of which are just energy. When you move a chair across the room, you are moving energy. You are just moving energy that has compressed so fully into the density of matter that is seems completely like a mass. When it comes to living beings, the line between energy and matter is a bit more blurry. That blur is where I come in.
The power of the work I do at Cora comes from applying an energetic approach to living structures that are dense (and heavier) than things like the chakras. There is a lot of power in density. There is physical matter and weight to those structures. And so by changing the energy of your muscles, your bones or your fascia, I am able to make energetic changes to physical aspects of your body.
So is what you do better than working on the subtle energy systems?
No. It isn’t better, it just tends to be a bit more practical for most people’s concerns. In the Midwest, we are pretty grounded people. We tend to manifest things into our bodies. In other parts of the country, like California, people tend to be more present in the fields around their bodies.
If you have a problem that started in your body, it is most effective to address it in your body. If you have a problem that started primarily in the fields around your body, then it is best to address it in the subtle fields.
