THE HUMAN ENERGY FIELD
Just as we have a physical anatomy, we have also have an “energy anatomy”. The human energy field or “aura” surrounds and permeates the physical body. The physical body could be thought of as the most dense expression of the energy, and as only one of a number of bodies which comprise our energy anatomy. We also have “subtle bodies”, which are sometimes referred to as the emotional, mental and spiritual bodies.
There are a variety of descriptions and images of the energy field from both ancient and modern sources. There are variations in these models, but many describe the aura as being in layers. Many, though not all, emphasize the importance of the chakras which are energy centers where important exchanges of energy take place. Energy healing effects change by positively influencing the energy field.
What is Energy Medicine?
Energy medicine is a complement to other approaches to medical care as well as a complete system for self-care and self-help. It can address physical illness, emotional or mental disorders and can also promote high-levels of wellness. The National Institutes of Health in the United States identifies Energy Medicine as one of five areas of Complementary and Alternative Medicine. As a viable medical practice, Energy Medicine is gaining popularity in America and has become a subject of investigations at some leading academic medical centers. Energy Medicine includes all concepts of energy: light, sound, electro-magnetism, body, mind, and spirit. In addition to concepts of electro-chemical physiology and bio-fields, traditions of “life force” are common in the practice of Energy Medicine.
From Chinese Medicine comes the principle of Chi, with its Cosmic and Microcosmic cycles and flows through the channels or meridians in the physical body. From Yogic Practices comes Prana and the principles of multiple energy vortices in the body – the Chakras, and especially the concepts of multiple bodies beyond the flesh and blood physiological body – the subtle bodies. Many roots and paths contribute to the concept of energy. I have extensive training in the use of several of these paths for healing, in fact I am Certified as a Healing Touch Practitioner through Healing Touch International.
Through the use of Healing Touch, CranioSacral Therapy, Sound Healing(Acutonics), Yoga, and hands-on massage, I utilize my knowledge of the bodies energy systems to assist the body in healing and harmonizing. I recognize energy as a vital, living, moving force that determines much about one’s health and well-being. In Energy Medicine, energy is the medicine, and energy is also the patient. One heals the body by activating its natural healing energies; one also heals the body by restoring and clearing energies that have become weak, disturbed, or out of balance. I love to educate my clients on how to restore their own natural healing capacities. As acts of co-creation between me and my client in one on one sessions, I hold a space that allows one to move freely through his or her inner worlds and enter states where deep healing and transformational experiences are possible.
