Energy Healing

1. “The next big frontier in medicine is energy medicine” Mehmet Oz, M.D, Director of the Cardiovascular Institute at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons. Energy Healing

2. Energy is all there is Einstein and quantum physicists have explained that at an atomic level everything that exists in the universe is energy Physical matter and energy are just two forms of the same thing

3. Human beings are also comprised of electromagnetic energy Every cell, atom and subatomic particle that makes up the human body is vibrating at different rates depending on their biochemical make-up.

4. The energies of energy medicine • Electrical Energies: the movement of electrons and protons . • Electromagnetic Energies: moving in waves of radiation • Subtle Energies: beyond the range of scientific instruments

5. Principles of Energy Medicine • Energies form the dynamic infrastructure of the physical body • The health of those energies in terms of flow, balance, and harmony is reflected in the health of the physical body • When the body is not healthy, corresponding disturbances in its energies can be identified and treated

6. To overcome illness and maintain vibrant health, the body needs its energies to: Move and have space to continue to move Move in specific patterns Cross over at all levels Maintain a balance with other energies

7. Electro-myographs Electromagnetic output can be measured in humans Normal biological frequency for the human body is around 250 cps

8. Between 400-900 cps in practitioners using healing techniques such as Reiki, healing touch, quantum touch

9. ‘Scientific Proof’ This research has ‘proven’ what has been accepted spiritual wisdom of many cultures for thousands of years That an unseen energy flows through and connects all living things.

10. May the force be with you Ki (Japanese)‏ Chi or Gi (Chinese)‏ Prana (India)‏ Spirit or Holy Ghost (Christian)‏ Yesod (Jewish Cabalistic Tradition) The Force (Star Wars)‏

11. The Human Energy Body There are 9 components of the human energy body; Aura, Chakras, Meridians, Triple Warmer, Radiant Circuits, Electrics, Grid, Celtic Weave, Five Rhythms

12. Aura

13. Surrounding and interpenetrating our physical body is another body of energy Made up of much finer and lighter vibrations Most commonly called the aura, the auric field, or the human energy body

14. Kirlian Photography The aura can be photographed Made up of layers Each person’s energy field is a unique signature of that person Aura’s can show how that person is; mentally, physically, emotionally Expands and contracts depending on how you are feeling

15. Energy Centres • Major centres of both electromagnetic activity and vital energy are recognized in Indigenous cultures the world over. In the Huna tradition of Hawai’I they are called ‘auw’ centres, in the Cabala, they are the ‘tree of life’, in the Taosist Chinese tradition the term is ‘dantien’ and in the yogic tradition they are called ‘chakras’ William Colligne ‘Subtle Energy’.

16. Chakras The word Chakra comes from the Indian language Sanskrit meaning ‘wheel’ 7 Primary Chakras Base Sacral Solar Plexus Heart Throat Brow (third eye)‏ Crown

17. Chakras are an essential part of our body’s energy system Each connected to specific parts of the body and to systems within the body Life-force energy, including Reiki, is most easily absorbed through the Chakras

18. If the particular chakra is healthy, balanced, open then so are the connected body parts If the chakra is blocked, damaged or closed, then the health of the connected body parts and systems will begin to reflect this

19. Meridians Meridians are the channels which carry our life-force around our bodies. Acupuncture and acupressure points

20. Major meridians route the energy longitudinally through the body Connecting all of the body’s major organs Smaller meridians which criss-cross throughout the body Means that Ki can flow throughout the entire body

21. Traffic Jam If there is a blockage in the meridian system then the entire body is affected

22. Celtic Weave • Independent of our aura, although intricately linked, each of us are made up of energy patterns that spin and spiral, curve and twist, weave and crisscross. • They are like invisible threads that keep all the energy systems functioning as a single unit; the connective tissue

23. Electrics • The electrics constitute an energy that seems to emerge from the electrical dimension of the other energy systems. • They serve as a bridge that connects all the energy systems at this basic level of the body’s electricity

24. The Basic Grid • The basic grid is the foundation of your energy centres. • Basic Grid energy is totally contained within your body • Other energy systems become severely compromised if this foundation is impaired

25. The Five Rhythms • Also called the Five Elements, Season. • A rhythm that runs through all the other energy systems, leaving a vibratory imprint of your physical attributes, health patterns, and personality traits. • They were mapped around 3000BC by Chinese physicians

26. Radiant Circuits • Known in Chinese medicine as the ‘strange flows’, this energy body does not follow a specific route but rather can move anywhere that they are needed • Laughter, babies, fun times with friends all activate our radiant circuits

27. They are the energetic arms of your immune system. • Triple Warmer aggressively mobilizes all the systems in your body to fight • Radiant circuits gently organize all the systems in your body to promote your health through cooperation and harmony

28. Energy! If our energy bodies are in sync and energy is flowing freely around our whole body, we feel Healthy Strong Full of energy Confident Strong immunity

29. If there is a disturbance in our energy body, or if there is a blockage in it’s flow, we are Weak Tired Lethargic Vulnerable to illness or dis-ease

30. Energy medicine is moving into our health care system quickly, powerfully and none too soon. Christiane Northrup, M.D. Author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause

31. We’re in the midst of a radical, essential paradigm shift in the Western medical model…It is imperative that we expand our concepts of health care to include subtle energy and energy medicine Judith Orloff, M.D Positive Energy

32. Your body is not just a collection of physical and chemical events. Like all living systems, it is a unified collection of energy fields. Take action to alter the quality of these energy fields, and you can change the way your body functions for good or ill Leslie Kenton, Passage to Power

33. So what do we mean by Energy Medicine?
