Well, here we are in 2022, still trying to understand and explain what Energy Medicine is. Have you ever seen how animals will lick other animals’ wounds? Or a Mother rub her child’s owie? Well then, you’ve witnessed Energy Medicine in its purest form. Heartfelt empathy, compassion, and love are the cornerstones of healing. This is what makes a caregiver either exceptional or one that goes through the motions and is just performing tasks. It is ALL in the intention and HOW the work is done.
So here we go⦠The Human body emits and has different types of energy, such as electric, magnetic, and etheric energies. In Energy Medicine, it is believed that disease is related to the flow, or lack of flow in our energetic system, and restoring the flow treats the imbalance that causes the disease. It does not take the place of a visit to the Doctor but works with conventional medicine.
In previous writings, I discussed the knowledge of the Chakras being written about in approximately 1500 to 500 BC. This indicates knowledge about the energetic fields is likely far older than that. Energy Medicine is a way of treating the Mind, Body, and Spirit with the energy around us. Again, it does not replace medical Doctors; instead, it compliments medicine.
“The energy of the mind is the essence of life” β Aristotle
This mind and body Energy is known as Prana, Chi or Qui, and Life Force Energy is what separates us from death. It is the spark of life and the part of us that is eternal. The structures of our Energetic system are very complex and don’t have to be known to be practiced, however, understanding it is like having GPS. You can still get there without it, but it makes getting there so much easier. It includes the Chakras, which number over 100 with seven primary points or vortexesβnadis like the connectors to the Chakra system. Aura, our Auric system, contains layers called the subtle bodies and the Transpersonal Chakras extending beyond the Aura, which explain how one person can walk in a room and Jack up the energy of everyone in it.
“Even though the body appears to be material, it is not. In deeper reality, your body is a field of energy, transformation, and intelligence.” β Deepak Copra
Yoga, Kinesiology, Qi Gong, Tapping, Massage (the oldest form of healing), Acupuncture, Crystal Healing, Therapeutic touch, Healing Touch, Aura clearing or balancing, Shamanic Healing, and Reiki are the most well-known methods. Some need to be done with hands-on (Acupuncture, Massage) or hands-off, and remote or distance healing can all be performed with the patient and the healer in different locations. These fantastic techniques transcend time and space.
Energy practitioner Donna Eden has many books and YouTube videos demonstrating her method, which is hand movement along the Meridian lines, which acupuncture uses, but without needles. This is fascinating. Another one of my favorites is Quantum Healing, which uses breathwork, intention, and visualization of energy and literally takes about 15 minutes to learn how to basics.
Many studies are being done regarding the efficacy of Energy Medicine. Findings support these benefits, better pain management, improved anxiety levels, improved symptoms of depression, overall improved mood, and stress reduction. Many of the biggest Hospitals across the country have Reiki programs and are conducting ongoing studies to support patients’ benefits.
University of Maryland Medical center, The Cleveland Clinic, Brigham and Women’s in Boston, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Yale New Haven Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Columbia University Med Center, and the list continues.
In the future, we may see Traditional Western Medicine and Alternative Medicine sharing a fuller partnership in healing the Mind, The Body, and Spirit. Until then, remember what I said. It is ALL in the intention and HOW the work is done.
Continue to seek your own healing and be relentless.
