Difference Between Energy Healing & Meditation

Energy Healing is unblocking and balancing the energy centers to ensure flow of energy for physical and mental wellness.

Meditation is focusing thoughts on a single thing like breathing and later on trying to become thought free in order to promote physical and mental wellness.

These are general definitions of Energy Healing and Meditation and while we can see the similarities, it is difficult to point out differences. This is why people often consider them the same as both promote physical and mental well-being. But there are some differences which we will discuss below to let us help them understand better.

1. Attunement or Initiation - Meditation does not require attunement or Initiation to start practicing it  whereas Energy Healing requires attunement to start practicing. There are mantras and symbols used in Energy healing which remain ineffective without attunement. Attunement is done by teachers of that particular Energy Healing method.

2. Energy Healing can be given to others - Meditation is very beneficial for self development but it cannot be given to others. Everyone has to practice meditation for themselves. Energy Healing on the other hand can be practiced on self  and Healing can be given to others too for various problems. In short benefit of one's energy healing practice can be transferred to others too which is not possible in meditation.

3. Distance Healing is possible in Energy Healing - Most of the energy healing practices allow healer to give healing to people who are far away be it few feet or thousands of miles. Experienced meditators create an aura of positivity and people near them feel good vibes but energy healers
can make positivity reach on distance.

There are some differences in meditation and energy healing but both are related like different branches of same tree. Ultimate aim of both are same to attain physical and mental wellness which later leads to growth of a person spiritually. They are two different paths to attain ultimate happiness.
