ENERGY MEDICINE

Energy medicine is a bit of a catch-all category for diverse therapies and practices that use both internal (our own) and external (universal) energy to assist in our healing. Arguably, all healing modalities are energy medicine but the title has become linked to techniques such as acupuncture or acupressure, which focus on alleviating energy blockages in the body, as well as therapies like Reiki and chakra balancing, which introduce additional universal energy into the body.

Energy medicine is also the name of a specific therapy or approach to healing, involving a variety of techniques to balance the body’s energy systems.

These techniques include touch, specific movements and exercises (not push-ups and sit-ups or what we traditionally refer to as “exercise”), and working in a person’s aura. The aura refers to the energetic field that surrounds each of us and actually forms part of our being. Auras have been captured using Kirlian photography techniques.

It still amazes me to see the change in the size and strength of a person’s aura after they have undergone a positive experience. This could be thinking of a loving relationship, receiving a therapy or treatment from a skilled natural health practitioner, or simply, eating healthy foods or developing a greater connection with his or her life purpose.

Energy medicine is one of the oldest, most powerful forms of medicine known to human kind. In our modern society, however, it can be extremely difficult to find a credible, skilled practitioner. If you do, you will likely encounter an individual who believes that healing must take place on an energetic level before it can be successful at the physical level. Transforming your body at this energetic level will contribute to a successful detoxification experience.
