Energy rebalancing: strengthen your vital energy
Energy rebalancing is a practice aimed at improving an individual's vital energy and harmonizing the energy flows of a home . This energy, sometimes called vibrational frequency or aura , is mentioned in energy theories that vary according to civilizations.
However, they share many points of convergence, particularly in the field of energy care . Rebalancing of chakras, harmonization of energies, cleansing of people and places... Despite the variety of names, these energy practices all have the same objective: to strengthen physical, mental and emotional health to achieve a state of overall well-being.
HOZHO, creator of energetic scented care products for the home and body, explains how to restore the energetic balance between you and your environment .
What is energy rebalancing?
Energy rebalancing is an energetic treatment aimed at harmonizing and balancing internal vibrations. It is based on a founding concept of many ancient cultures that views beings as the alignment of a body, mind, and soul animated by vital energy. This energy circulates throughout the body and conditions our physical, mental, and emotional health.
The theory of energy balance
Energy therapies understand the ailments of the body and mind as symptoms of a vibrational imbalance . This energy blockage can take the form of increased fatigue, irritability, impaired concentration, high stress levels, functional or relational problems. To regain an optimal quality of life, we use different rebalancing techniques . These sometimes accompany a therapeutic treatment carried out by a licensed doctor to reinforce the benefits of the care.
In the West today, our beliefs and behavior are essentially based on our faith in science. As a result, alternative therapies , gentle medicines , and spiritual practices are placed outside the scope of conventional medicine. However, some clinical studies conducted on meditation 1 or acupuncture 2 have shown real benefits on the individual's state of health that traditional Western medicine cannot fully explain.
We also observe that the wisdom of the Ancients often echoes from continent to continent. Among their cosmogonic beliefs, energies hold a prominent place. Chinese and Indian medicine, the animist tribes of America and the West, and the ancient peoples of our regions have considered energies as a founding principle. They are the ones that govern the Universe and its elements.
These energy flows are therefore not only present in human beings, they also animate nature, animals, stars, stones and metals, air and fire... and even the Beyond. A place of life, protection and exchange, the home is thus at the heart of many rituals to purify and harmonize the energies that circulate there. Energy cleaning of the house is recommended to repel bad energies and harmonize relationships between its occupants.
When should we rebalance the energies of the body or the home?
Energy rebalancing sessions are recommended to facilitate the circulation of beneficial energies throughout the home and body. Certain moments in life and internal dysfunctions require special attention and may be a sign of an energy imbalance:
- Functional disorders: insomnia, persistent headaches, digestive problems that appear without apparent cause.
- Emotional or psychological issues: An unexplained feeling of oppression may indicate negative energies. Clearing these energies is essential for improving relationships and relieving tension.
- Significant events: births, marriages, deaths, moves, job changes, or exam periods. Purifying your home after a move, for example, allows you to get rid of the vibrations of the previous occupants and welcome a new life cycle.
- Changing natural cycles: Lunar cycles, seasons, and years influence our energy. The arrival of spring or the new moon are particularly conducive to a mind-body rebalancing session.
- Spiritual development and well-being: Yoga, meditation, and relaxation require a peaceful environment. An energetic cleansing of the space and a rebalancing of the body's energies allow for a deeper meditative practice and access to a higher state of consciousness.
How to rebalance your energy?
Energy rebalancing is an energy treatment that involves harmonizing the flow of vital energy in the body and the environment. Various techniques, inspired by ancient traditions and modern practices, help restore this balance.
Energy cleansing of the person
Since ancient times, civilizations have used various techniques to purify and balance bodily energies . In Eastern tradition, where the notion of energy is central, health through colors, for example, is linked to inner balance. In Mesopotamia and ancient Greece, too, traces of “color medicine” are found. Chromotherapy was used to harmonize energy and treat various physical and mental ailments.
Similarly, lithotherapy , which involves the use of crystals and stones, has been practiced since time immemorial to restore energy balance . Other theories of energy balancing , particularly in China, Japan and India, have become the foundations of a thousand-year-old medical practice.
Qi and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine, which appeared over 2,000 years ago, is based on the concept of Qi or vital energy. This energy circulates in the body through 12 meridians , which are themselves connected to one or more organs. Energy harmonization practices using meridians, such as acupuncture or acupressure , aim to act on these circulation channels through pressure, massage or the insertion of needles. The acupuncturist stimulates energy circulation points to treat various health disorders, whether physical or emotional. It helps to resolve problems such as stress, depression, insomnia, digestive problems, and to strengthen the immune system. Acupuncture is also said to have a positive effect on menstrual and joint pain, migraines and even facial paralysis.
Tuina massage , a Chinese massage therapy practice, also relies on stimulating the meridians to restore the body's energy balance . It complements Qigong, which combines slow movements, meditation, and breathing exercises to improve energy flow and strengthen health. Similarly, Tai Chi, an "internal" martial art that uses fluid movements and controlled breathing to balance energy and maintain physical and mental well-being.
Energy rebalancing of the chakras in Ayurveda
Ayurveda is a traditional Indian medicine over 5,000 years old that considers the human being as a whole, integrating the body, mind, and spirit. It is based on the balance of the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), which is influenced by diet, lifestyle, and physical exercise. Ayurvedic energy treatments use specific practices to regulate energy flow, such as meditation, yoga, pranatherapy, and massage.
Marma treatments are an example of such practices. They involve stimulating vital points in the body, similar to acupuncture points. These 107 points are essential energy hubs located throughout the bone structure, venous system, joints, and muscles. The practitioner assesses each point using their fingers to detect imbalances and often uses herbal oils to stimulate them. Techniques such as Padabhyanga and Bol Kansu , massages of the arches of the feet, share similarities with reflexology.
Ayurveda also includes yoga practices such as Kundalini , which aims to awaken and harmonize energy through the chakras, the body's energy centers. In Ayurvedic medicine, reharmonizing the chakras is essential for maintaining energy balance and promoting overall health.
Energy rebalancing through Reiki and Shiatsu in Japan
Reiki is a Japanese practice developed in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui that uses universal energy to harmonize the body and mind through the laying on of hands. This method aims to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and stimulate the body's natural healing process.
Shiatsu , on the other hand, is a Japanese therapy based on principles similar to Chinese acupuncture, but without the use of needles. It involves applying finger pressure to the meridians to balance the body's energy. Shiatsu is used to treat a variety of ailments, including muscle pain, headaches, and stress. Using pressure, stretching, and joint mobilization techniques, Shiatsu aims to improve the flow of energy (Qi).
Western energy practices
In the West, energy rebalancing practitioners are increasingly sought after. Energy practices have emerged and developed over the years. Kinesiology , for example, uses muscle testing to identify and correct energetic and emotional imbalances . Magnetism , an ancient method, involves the laying on of hands to regulate the flow of vibrational energy in the body .
Auriculotherapy , similar to acupuncture, focuses on specific points in the ear to treat various health problems. Dowsing uses pendulums or rods to detect and correct energy imbalances. Sophrology combines dynamic relaxation and visualization to harmonize body and mind.
Energy rebalancing of the home
Since ancient times, many civilizations have developed purification rituals to cleanse and harmonize the energies of living spaces . The Egyptians and Greeks used frankincense and myrrh for their purifying and spiritual properties. In South America, Palo Santo, a sacred wood, has been used for millennia to ward off negative energies and promote spiritual communication. Sandalwood, valued in India for its calming and rebalancing effects, is often used in Hindu and Buddhist rituals to purify the chakras and promote emotional balance .

Feng Shui
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that focuses on rebalancing the energy of the home to stimulate prosperity and well-being. It considers the arrangement of furniture, objects, materials, color, and light according to the principle of Yin and Yan. Feng Shui also considers room orientation, space ventilation, and plant arrangement to optimize energy flow .
Energy cleansing with plants
Energy aromatherapy is a therapeutic discipline that aims to restore the energy flows connecting the body, mind, and emotions through the use of essential oils. Inspired by Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, this approach considers essential oils as energy regulators that act on the psycho-emotional sphere.
In energy aromatherapy, essential oils are seen as plant souls with specific energetic properties . Certain oils, such as sandalwood, patchouli, cinnamon, myrrh, or sage, are used for their beneficial effects on the chakras or meridians, and are said to influence the circulation of vital energy .
Energy phytotherapy , a parallel to energy aromatherapy, uses the energies of plants to create herbal remedies designed to regulate the body's energy flows. Bach flower remedies, for example, are floral extracts used to treat various emotional states. Developed by Dr. Edward Bach, these essences aim to restore inner harmony by addressing emotional imbalances. They are said to help relieve stress, anxiety, and a variety of emotional disorders.
Energy rebalancing , whether applied to the individual or the home, is an ancient practice that continues to hold an essential place in holistic well-being. By drawing inspiration from or combining these techniques from various traditions, we act on our vibrational frequency and establish a more harmonious relationship with our body. They help maintain a beneficial energetic balance between people, places and elements to establish a state of well-being, peace and inner balance.
