Doctorate programs in energy medicine represent an exciting frontier of research in human biology. They explore both the science and mystery behind healing with energy.
Ancient traditions and contemporary forms of healing utilize subtle energies for their therapies, making recognition easier thanks to quantum physics concepts.
Intuition Medicine
Intuition Medicine is a system of expanded perception developed through cultivating our sense of intuition. This involves performing in-depth intuitive scans designed to gather data on both physical body systems and biofield. Intuition Medicine seeks to expose any underlying energetic causes or drivers of illness, imbalance or disease for purposes of healing in body, mind, or spirit.
Medical intuitive sessions utilize an intuitive healer’s ability to identify patterns within both physical and energetic fields that could signal physical, mental or emotional imbalance. Once detected, they work with their client’s own natural healing capacities in order to facilitate effective recovery.
This work should not replace medical care; rather it serves to supplement and expand existing diagnostic techniques and therapeutic options. Furthermore, holistic healing approaches intended to heal mind, body and soul can benefit greatly from such approaches.
Medical intuition relies upon a deep connection to both Earth’s healing energies and guidance from the Universe, achieved through grounding and meditation practice. A practitioner must also be able to differentiate between intuitive perceptions and those coming from within their physical body or biofield.
Francesca McCartney PhD established the Academy of Intuition Medicine in 1984 and Energy Medicine University with state approval in 2006. As an international speaker, author, and trainer in intuitive energy healing methods she is well known. With decades of experience as a medical intuitive, spiritual counselor and educator combined with extensive study in both Eastern and Western esoteric and mysticism she has created an inclusive energy medicine curriculum which acknowledges both individuals uniqueness as well as commonalities between us all.
Energy Psychology
Energy psychology is an innovative form of therapy that blends Eastern approaches to mind and body with Western psychological concepts. Proponents of energy psychotherapy believe tapping acupuncture points while thinking about an event which causes anxiety can help alleviate conditions such as phobias or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
This form of treatment operates under the theory that traumatized memories or emotions stored within our mind-body system can be quickly released through physical interventions such as acupuncture-point based physical interventions rather than traditional talking therapies. Acupoint-based physical interventions work by modulating our bodies’ electrical signals or energy fields which may influence emotional regulation as well as our capacity for relationships between others and ourselves.
Energy psychology utilizes multiple techniques, including thought field therapy and tapas acupressure technique developed by licensed acupuncturists. The latter technique, also referred to as “acupuncture without needles,” involves applying pressure with fingers on specific parts of the head and face, much like how acupuncture would target specific points on them.
Thought field therapy (TFT) is an energy psychology technique developed by Fred Gallo and Roger Callahan in the 1980s. TFT practices similar to exposure therapy – an established Western approach for treating trauma and PTSD. Trauma therapy entails recalling and replaying past traumatizing events while also experiencing them in a safe setting. Energy psychologists believe that these retraumatization techniques, when combined with physical treatments, can effectively heal disturbances to an individual’s electrical signals or energy fields. Retraining of the brain may help people overcome physical and emotional reactions to traumatizing events, and is believed to help address mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, phobias, pain as well as physical ailments like chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), digestive disorders or headaches.
Physio-Psychic System (PPS)
The physio-psychic system (PPS) is an intricate energy anatomy connecting your physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. Based on subtle electromagnetic forces and sub-atomic physics, this healing modality may help address issues like anxiety and depression while simultaneously connecting with deeper aspects of yourself that provide deeper meaning and identity. PPS may be combined with other energy medicine practices like Reiki or toning for added effect.
With the aid of the physio-psychic system, you can access your Universal Akashic Records. These records contain all events ever to have taken place on earth; acting like the supercomputer of universe; they include every deed, word, feeling and thought ever to exist here on planet earth – this includes everything about you!
These records can provide insight into the source of emotional and physical pain as well as past lives. You may discover patterns in your behavior and learn to alter them; additionally, these records allow access to any underlying beliefs or thoughts which could be keeping you from reaching your goals.
Use these techniques to release negative emotions and create new ones, while finding meaning and success in life. If you are curious to explore energy healing further, visiting a practitioner is one way to discover its many advantages for yourself. However, make sure that they possess both traditional medicine knowledge as well as intuitive abilities – ask your physician or contact a holistic health practitioner for recommendations before choosing someone who fits.
Duality
At a doctorate of energy medicine program, students can learn alternative forms of healing the body. This may involve improving energy flows within their own bodies as well as healing emotional or spiritual disturbances. Furthermore, students can discover ways to increase physical health through increasing its natural energies.
Since the dawn of modern medicine, dualism has been the central conceptual model used to understand people, illness and treatment. Although medical practitioners generally reject dualism as an explanation for illness or patient care (although many still use nonbiological explanations as valid explanations), due to cultural and educational conditioning (Duncun 2000). Patients can become skeptical of nonbiological explanations which appear unreal, illegitimate or absurd (Duncun 2000).
Students need a thorough understanding of duality to implement holistic principles into medicine. One solution, physiological nonduality based on Clayton’s radical emergence theory provides a compelling solution to transcend dualism’s limitations in medicine.
Relationships
Understanding our evolving energy paradigm is integral to healing; and relationships. In this bestselling author’s book, they demonstrate how understanding ourselves and others’ energy systems can help us communicate more clearly, fight less frequently, and love more freely.
The Body Electric explores the actual science of etheric energies, challenging traditional mechanistic worldview with new model that supports our bioelectric selves. It demonstrates how our bodies contain an invisible yet vital source of cellular energy that supports life; also providing scientific proof of these subtle energies being connected to physical reality.
Dr. Mary Jo Bulbrook is a holistic nurse and author of the groundbreaking book Transform Your Life Through Energy Medicine. Using her 36 years of nursing experience and elements from Virginia Satir’s world-famous family therapy model with holistic nursing theory, she developed her own energy medicine curriculum.
The Energy Medicine Practitioner training program includes Energy Medicine Parts 1-5 and a supervised practicum which requires clinical documentation of Energy Medicine principles, assessments and interventions. Energy Medicine Specialist training builds upon this foundation by adding advanced meridian and organ theory/practice as well as mentorship from an EMP instructor. EMP training encompasses developing spiritual intuition, learning advanced interventions and healing the healer while teaching leadership across age span wellness/illness continuum. An Energy Medicine Specialist must complete all educational requirements as well as demonstrate professional leadership.
