Energy Healing Basics
In order to understand how and why the various energy healing modalities work it is important to understand a few body energy basics. These concepts tie all of the modalities together. Universal Energy: There exists in the world and the universe a power or energy which fills all space and is in all things. Known in cultures for thousands of years, universal energy goes by many names; Life force, Universal life force, Chi or qi (China), prana (India and Tibet), Ki (Japan), Holy Spirit or Light of Christ (Christian). There are as many names for it as there are cultures. These are just a few of the more commonly known names. This energy or power is available to everyone and is the life-force by which we are alive. Energy healing works with this source. A scripture within my religious belief system refers to this power or energy as the “light of Christ” and states:
“…This is the light of Christ……..Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space – The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, …..” Frequency or Vibrational Rate: In 1992 the first frequency monitor in the world was built by Bruce Tainio of Tainio Technology in Cheny, Washington. It was determined that the average frequency of a healthy human body generally lies within the 62 to 68 MHz range. Each organ of the body has a different frequency. The importance of understanding frequency becomes clearer when we realize that when the immune system is compromised a person’s frequency drops and then illness can set in and as it drops even lower then disease states set in. This opens the understanding of how what we eat and take into our bodies affects our frequency. What we breathe in and apply on our bodies also affects our frequency. Thought alters our frequency. For an experiment demonstrating how thought alters our energy click here: A quote on page 156 from The Secret by Rhonda Byrne states: “In simple terms, all energy vibrates at a frequency. Being energy, you also vibrate at a frequency, and what determines your frequency at any time is whatever you are thinking and feeling. All the things you want are made of energy, and they are vibrating too. Everything is energy.” Aura: Around every person is an energy field with many layers. The inner white layer closest to the body can be easily seen given the right conditions. Before learning about the aura, I thought an “aura” was a woo-woo word describing the obscure feeling that came when you were around someone or something. I didn’t realize that people really have “seeable” auras. I know better now. For instructions on how to view your aura and to read about my experience learning to see the aura - click below. Meridian System of the Body: Through the body run fourteen energy pathways. The meridian system is what acupuncture is based on. Acupuncture works to dislodge blocks within an energy pathway and help the energy flow smoothly. This is done by placing needles along those pathways. Charts of these pathways can be seen at these sites:
Infinite Vital Heart
Chakra System of the Body: In the body are several major energy centers through which the universal life force is taken into the body. Different cultures refer to differing numbers of these energy centers, but I will go with the most commonly referred to number of major centers which is seven. Each chakra ties in with an endocrine gland. For those who are interested in learning more there are books and tapes available through Carol Tuttle’s website.
Energy healing, also referred to as energy medicine, is based on the belief that the human body is composed of energy fields. When the energy is flowing freely without hinderance in its intended pathways then the body is healthy. Imbalances, blockages, or abnormal amounts of energy indicate a need to be corrected or it will eventually manifest in the physical as a problem or a disease state if it has not already done so. Disturbances show up in the energy field before they become physical. Energy healing modalities are key to dealing with issues before they become even more difficult to deal with in the physical. Any modality which deals with the body’s energy could be referred to as energy medicine. This includes, but is not limited
