I guess now is a good time to talk about Energy Healing. I believe that the body is more than just flesh and blood. I believe that all living things also have a spirit and that that spirit is divinely and lovingly created by a Father in Heaven. Just as i know that the physical world is a large chain of chemical reactions and electrons that keep our atoms connected to each other, i believe that energy dose the same for our spirits. I also believe that our physical well been and our spiritual well been are not as separate as generally thought.
I think it goes without saying that you should give credit where credit is due. I know from my own experience i feel better physically when i pray and learn Gods word from the Holy Scriptures. I am very religious, i believe in and worship Jesus Christ, but in this particular entry I'm not talking about being religious. What i am referring to today is the God given ability to tap into our divine energy to heal our bodies.
Simply put, "Energy therapy techniques clear the blocked emotional energy and negative thought energy that has become so common for people. It is what we commonly refer to as stress. When we have blocked, scrambled, stuffed, and damaged energy flows and systems, we can not achieve our full potential." (Carol Tuttle)
Energy is a very real thing that, up until recently, i didn't know was a resource i could use to help myself heal. Like the rain and sun and the earth, energy is part of our world and is given to us for our benefit. Once we learn how to use it (just like a farmer uses the power of the sun and the earth to grow food) it becomes a tool to use for good.
Eastern medicine has been using it for centuries. It is usually termed an "alternative therapy" or "holistic treatment" but by comparison, it actually has a longer, stronger history than Western medicine. Some forms of energy therapy you may already be familiar with are: meditation, affirmations, setting goals, reflexology, and acupuncture or acupressure. All of these practices call on and use the energy in your body and the energy in the universe to accomplish a purpose.
Some energy therapies that are becoming very popular are Reiki, Rapid Eye Therapy (RET), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Calyco. All of these techniques use basic energy meridians on your body to help stimulate the flow of positive energy throughout your body.
I think the reason why energy therapy is so wonderful and successful where other treatments may fail is because it doesn't stop at just the physical ailments. If you can think of treatment of your physical body as one dimensional then energy therapy brings in the second and third dimensions to make a complete picture. Energy therapy also addresses your emotional and spiritual health, often down to a cellular level.
If you think how intimately your body systems are connected and how much your brain is capable of, it should come as no surprise to you that your mental and emotional state has a lot to do with your physical state. Because energy is both a emotional and physical thing, you can use it for either ailment (or often both). Energy therapy is used to help everything from physical pain and illness to addictions, and phobias and to manifesting and accomplishing personal goals.
I first began doing energy therapy because my mother got interested in it. She read "Remembering Wholeness" by Carol Tuttle and felt compelled to learn more. Since then she has certified in several techniques of energy therapy and has become an excellent energy therapist. At present she has mastered in the Calyco technique and practices it almost exclusively because it is fast and all encompassing. I started asking her to practice her techniques on me because she needed to build up her hours for certification and i figured "cant hurt, might help, right?" The thing is, it really did help.
Most of the time you will find me calling my mother on days that i mentally and emotionally cant see past my own nose. Or on days that i have major energy slumps and don't know how else to make it better. I say "Mom, (sniff, choke, sob) will you do some energy work on me?" and of course she says yes. We will go through my body systems, auras, chakras and even the timeline of my life, unlocking stuck energy and when its over i feel worlds better. Not only has it helped me through some tough emotional times but it has also helped relief actual physical pain from my lower back and other parts of my body.
Here are some things to know about energy healing:
1. Its not a faith healing. You don't have to believe in it to work, it will anyway.
2. Its not fortune telling. Although for me, it dose help me see a brighter future and accomplish goals.
3. Its not earth, devil, or mystic crystal worshiping. Energy is simply a part of your being and energy therapy is just moving that energy around. As my mom is fond of quoting: "I'm just the cleaning lady, i don't heal. I clean out the bad energy and that allows healing to happen."
4. It is quick and noninvasive. Sometimes we get major energy blocks when we experience physical or emotional trauma. Energy therapy allows this energy to be unblocked without the need to revisit or relive the trauma and is very gentle. Your therapist doesn't even have to know what its about, just that it is there and needs to be moved.
For me its like traditional psychiatric therapy only less invasive, more intuitive, more helpful and with better benefits.
Having said all this though, i think its important to mention that an energy therapist is not a doctor and any good one will not try to diagnose you or tell you to stop any medication or treatment from your doctor. Energy therapy is meant to work hand in hand with and compliment other forms of healing.
Defiantly there is a lot more to say about energy therapy than i have, but i'll let the experts handle that, I'm just a happy customer. For those who have further questions and interest, I have added links to the web sights for both Carol Tuttle and Carolyn Cooper (the founder of Calyco) on my links. Just as soon as my mom's sight gets up and running i will add the link to that too.
