The intention of energy work is healing. Healing is the returning of wholeness, where aspects of an individual are brought into their awareness, and their energy is brought back into alignment.
Everything in the Universe and in our physical world is energy. We all have an energy field, that includes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy bodies. In science, this field is called a Biofield, which is an all encompassing term used to describe the aspects of energy that exist around our body.
Working with energy expands your awareness. It is returning to the fullness of who you are, and the parts of yourself you may have forgotten about or locked away. It requires a shift in perception, a move towards awareness. This is the space where you Awaken to you.
