Energy Medicine

Over the years I have been influenced by one type of energy medicine or another. My uncle, who helped raise me, was a naturopathic physician. I learned much about natural healing from him, as well as traditional medicine from his M.D. friends. I attended doctor conventions with my uncle, and became fascinated by this area of medicine.

In the simplest terms, energy healing is about restoring balance to the body by getting the body’s energy to flow unobstructed. There are many ways to do this. Herbs, vitamins, minerals, movement, touch, and even intention will help harmonize the body.

Various Healing Systems

There are many therapies that focus on manipulating life force such as ortho molecular medicine, acupuncture, Feldenkrais method, acupressure, chiropractor methods, Reiki, homeopathy, qi gong, and even visualization and meditation. These are just a few of the healing modalities available. Some are hands-on techniques, while others involve non-touch.

Basically this is about taking an eclectic approach to whatever works to get the body back in balance, and the immune system functioning properly. The body’s acid/alkaline balance is a sure barometer of our health, and our susceptibility to illness. Energy healing is one way to maintain an alkaline state.

Taking Responsibility

We each have a role in our own healing. Energy medicine is one viable alternative to pursue, but we must learn also to empower ourselves.

It’s not only about going to a practitioner for help, and having him or her do their thing. By learning to manage our own health concerns, we are able to get to the point of feeling our energy shift, so we truly believe change is possible.

Learning proper visualization techniques allow us to administer our own self healing through energy medicine. We become open to new information and change, and begin to see results.

We also become aware and sensitive to our own recurring thoughts, beliefs and ideas that constantly flow through our heads. These play such an important part in the healing process.

We can all increase our health and improve the overall quality of our life through our keen attention to body, mind and spirit. Click here for the Transforming Child Behavior Home Page.
