Virtually everything we use relies on quantum behavior at its most fundamental levels – from solar panels and flat-panel televisions, to hospital MRI scanners and even the atom itself!
On a quantum level, things appear quite mysterious. For instance, quantum objects can exist simultaneously in two places at the same time and pass through barriers without interruption; their connection exists no matter their distance apart.
What is Quantum Mechanics?
Quantum physics explores the subatomic particles of matter, energy and light. While its nature may appear bizarre to outside observers, its explanation of behavior that defies simple explanation in everyday terms – for instance cats that appear both dead and alive at once and photons that seem to go both directions simultaneously or seemingly irrevocably (quantum entanglement) can all be explored within its realms.
Quantum mechanics is an invigorating field, because it challenges our understanding of atomic level workings. Before quantum mechanics was developed, physicists believed there were only discrete particles with specific fixed energies like electrons. This led them to strange phenomena like blackbody radiation and photoelectric effect (material emitting electrons when exposed to light of certain wavelength).
Quantum mechanics enables us to comprehend that discrete particles are actually wavelike vibrations with various forms. Furthermore, quantum physics demonstrates how these vibrations interact across vast distances and times to form complex interactions amongst themselves.
Quantum mechanics has provided us with an incredible breakthrough. Quantum mechanics suggests that these vibrations can be measured, and we do so using nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI works by manipulating hydrogen atoms in water molecules belonging to patients’ nuclei in order to create images of soft tissues within their bodies which would otherwise be hard for doctors to spot using methods like x-ray imaging.
Johanna Blomqvist’s book explores how quantum physics is used in modern life, particularly healing. This gap was filled by Johanna’s book which shows that quantum mechanics is fundamental to energy healing practices like Reiki. Furthermore, this exploration also sheds light on quantum entanglement between healer and patient which was evident throughout.
What is Quantum Field Theory?
Quantum field theory unifies quantum mechanics with relativity to describe interactions between matter and force fields, such as electromagnetic radiation scattering by free electrons or the creation of new atomic particles such as electrons, protons or neutrons after nuclear fission explosions in the atmosphere. Modern quantum field theories are often applied to model high-energy particle physics events like collisions between atomic particles or production of cosmic rays from such explosions.
One key motivation behind QFT was the incorporation of Einstein’s theory of relativity into quantum treatments of electromagnetic fields, in particular to ensure they remained relativistically invariant during coordinate transformations. This goal was met through Pascual Jordan and Wolfgang Pauli’s 1928 work which demonstrated how field commutators of systems can be replaced with coupled linear operators representing its Hamiltonian or total energy. This form is known as interaction representation and provides a Lorentz covariant and gauge invariant alternative to time-dependent perturbation theory used in ordinary quantum mechanics.
Relativistic Quantum Field Theory emerged directly from this successful attempt at incorporating relativity into quantum mechanical treatment of electromagnetic fields, while at the same time its mathematical techniques proved highly versatile and capable of solving numerous other types of systems-related problems, as evidenced by Werner Heisenberg and his colleagues’ ability to use them for an uncertainy principle formulation utilizing matrix mechanics.
What is Quantum Entanglement?
Entanglement is one of the strangest phenomena observed in quantum physics, the science that explores nature on an extremely small scale. Particles become so linked together that it’s impossible to describe them as separate or independent; actions performed on one particle have an immediate and unpredictable effect on another; this phenomenon is commonly known as “spooky action at a distance,” and forms the core of quantum computing schemes.
Most experiments involving entanglement have used photons, as it’s straightforward to get two of them entangled at once. Once that happens, you can direct these photons toward atoms which absorb them and create new states using them; typically this means their polarization (whether they point upwards or downwards) will depend on whether two photons initially entered an entangled state – leading them into an indeterminate but highly correlated state in response.
John Stewart Bell, a particle physicist who dabbled in quantum theory on the side, proposed an experiment in the 1960s designed to demonstrate this property of entanglement. If scientists could somehow cause two observers’ coin tosses to produce identical outcomes then that would demonstrate particles are bound together through quantum entanglement.
Unfortunately, it took scientists until the ’70s to implement Bell’s experiment and prove its reality – thus showing Einstein wrong to dismiss this odd aspect of quantum physics and showing entanglement as part of quantum reality.
What is Quantum Energetics?
Quantum energy healing may appear esoteric, but its principles are grounded in quantum physics. Essentially, this form of medicine harnesses our bodies’ natural healing capacities by tapping into energies which lie at the core of both health and illness.
At an atomic level, quantum nature leads to stunning and often surprising phenomena such as the Lamb shift. This effect happens when electromagnetic waves cause changes in an atom’s or ion’s energy levels by absorbing photons at specific frequencies; this energy absorption converts transverse wave energy back into longitudinal wave energy; as a result spectral lines in their emission spectrum shift or split off from their original position.
Entanglement is another fascinating phenomenon. This concept holds that particles can become so intertwined with each other that the state of one particle instantly affects another no matter their distance apart. This interconnectedness serves as the basis for many energy healing techniques such as Qest and the BodyTalk system.
An energetic healing session begins by asking clients about their medical history and current symptoms, followed by muscle testing to detect energy blockages or imbalances within their bodies. From there, practitioners use various techniques to help their client address any blockages or imbalances and release any energy blockages or imbalances through various means.
Monica is trained in both Crossinology Brain Integration and Quantum Energetics Structured Therapy (QEST). Using her expertise in these two modalities, Monica assists clients in regaining their strength – an essential step toward the restoration or renewal of health. Monica has seen first-hand how QEST offers gentle yet holistic benefits, which she looks forward to sharing with others.
What is Energy Healing?
Energy healing is a type of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) founded on the belief that vital energy flows throughout our bodies and can be harnessed to assist with healing. Studies are being conducted on patients living with cancer to see whether energy healing can help improve quality of life, boost immunity and decrease side effects.
Energy healing stems from the belief that our bodies contain an intricate network of energy pathways and emotions are directly tied to physical wellbeing. A trained practitioner will perform energy healing sessions to clear away blockages in these pathways and restore balance within body, mind, and spirit.
Energy healing utilizes numerous modalities and techniques, such as Reiki, Qigong and therapeutic touch. While each practice differs slightly in execution, they all strive to channel healing energy directly into an individual’s personal energy field in order to improve health and wellness.
Clients experiencing energy healing sessions may experience physical sensations like tingling, coolness or heat, pressure, twitching rushes and pulling. Although these sensations are generally not unpleasant, their intensity depends on the personalized treatment plan co-created between client and healer.
Energy healing can help with an array of issues, ranging from anxiety to chronic pain relief and alleviating chemotherapy-related side effects. Furthermore, energy healing sessions have proven particularly useful in supporting existing medical and surgical interventions – one of our patients presented for energy healing sessions with frequent migraine headaches; our sessions significantly decreased both their severity and frequency while increasing effectiveness of her ongoing medical/surgical treatments.
