I've found that it shortens the time required to release tight muscles and greatly increases the overall effectiveness of the session. Any modality even Swedish Massage can be utilized in a more energetic way. Energy is not strange or unfamiliar. You already know of energy when you turn on a light switch or turn the key in the ignition of your car. In physics we have gravity, electromagnetism, weak and strong nuclear force or energy.
Energy is heat, movement, light, sound, sensation.

We just have not bothered to differentiate it from the overall physical sensations that we are accustomed to experiencing. Rub your hands vigorously together for a minute. Now hold them a few inches apart.
