Many healing practitioners believe that humans are composed of an electromagnetic sphere of energy surrounding the physical body that influences biological, emotional, and mental processes.
Health care professionals have increasingly integrated methods of therapeutic energy healing with modern healthcare modalities and have found positive client results from such practices as music and sound healing, reiki, reflexology, craniosacral therapy, qigong and others.
Intuition Medicine
Your body is an intricate system of vibrating energy fields which is in constant communication with both outside influences and yourself, as well as possessing its own healing energies that work to promote health and balance within. Being open to receiving them and using intuition to connect to these energies can greatly enhance overall wellbeing.
Medical intuitives have long been sought out to assess physical problems without consulting history, examination or laboratory tests. Edgar Cayce – better known as “The Sleeping Prophet” – became famous for this practice after conducting over 8,000 readings about illnesses and remedies before his death in 1945. Today there are numerous encouraging anecdotes shared from a growing number of medical intuitives.
But scientific research on intuition remains limited. A joint investigation by integrative medicine physicians and MRI radiologists concluded that medical intuitives accurately identified disk pathology in many of their patients – prompting further exploration in this area by the researchers.
Medical intuition can provide an important addition to conventional medicine. It allows a deeper understanding of an individual’s energetic makeup, how it affects health and wellness, and which energies may be contributing to illness or imbalance. Intuition medicine can address many conditions ranging from chronic illness and emotional/mental disorders to high level wellness and peak performance.
Harvard’s Dr. Jerome Groopman provides an example of how intuition can save money long term: He gives the example of a patient suffering from bone-marrow failure requiring regular blood transfusions who made an intuitive leap that led him and his physician to adjust dosage so he would require only half as many transfusions; saving both his insurance company as well as hospital and nursing costs hundreds of dollars per unit of blood transfused.
Intuitive medicine draws on an expansive repository of ancient and contemporary knowledge spanning natural and functional medicine to spiritual practices that date back centuries and new healing paradigms such as epigenetics, soul retrieval and homeopathy – such as PPS energy anatomy, dream healing, acupuncture, epigenetics soul retrieval homeopathy and Reiki.
Healing Touch
Healing touch, an alternative form of medicine, aims to balance the body’s energetic field that extends beyond physical boundaries. Practitioners trained in healing touch are skilled at identifying and clearing away blocks in its flow that manifest in various symptoms ranging from physical, emotional or mental distress to fatigue and dis-ease. Practitioners employ various techniques in healing touch such as tracing or swirling their hand over specific energy pathways on the body; tapping, massaging, pinching or rotating fingers over specific acupoints; connecting two people’s energy fields together or connecting two separate energy fields together; connecting, or unhooking their energy fields together or surrounding an area with healing energies – these all help restore its flow of energy flow and restore its energy flow.
Scientific consensus remains divided regarding energy healing’s efficacy; however, research indicates certain forms may offer potential health benefits, including pain relief, improved mood and quality of sleep as well as decreased anxiety and depression levels. Researchers stress however that energy healing should not be seen as a replacement for conventional medical treatments such as medication.
As more healthcare professionals embrace alternative approaches to healing, many are exploring energy healing as a complementary practice to their traditional ones. Nurses have begun using energy healing in their patient care regimens; it can even be combined with holistic therapies like acupuncture and reiki for enhanced results.
The Energy Medicine Institute provides courses to practitioners interested in exploring this approach to health. Established by a former NASA astronaut, this organization strives to support and promote energy practices which may aid with physical ailments as well as emotional or mental disorders.
Alongside offering training in energy healing, the institute also works to educate the public about energy medicine. Through educational initiatives it aims to foster greater understanding of this field as part of healthcare systems overall.
EHI Practitioner Programs
EHI provides existential psychotherapy and holistic wellness training programs and courses for licensed therapeutic professionals and graduate students in California’s Bay Area as a non-profit corporation. Their experiential courses, workshops and consultation groups focus on experiential training in Existential Humanistic therapy while they specialize in mindfulness meditation classes that introduce fundamentals through an immersive course retreat experience.
In 2022, more individuals reported accessing and being encouraged by their HCP to use patient portals; however, disparities among racial groups remained consistent over the previous years. These findings indicate additional steps need to be taken to expand access and foster engagement among patients.
In response to these challenges, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently issued its final rule on information blocking. This rule seeks to ensure health care practitioners provide patients with information on treatment costs and benefits offered. Furthermore, an enforcement mechanism will be put in place against MIPS clinicians who violate it.
Under this regulation, “information blocking” refers to any act or omission which prevents access to certain types of information:
Patient harm could result in significant interference to quality patient care by health care practitioners; financial losses to federal health care programs; discriminatory or opportunistic practices being used, as well as uncontrollable technical limitations not caused by fault or negligence on their part; discriminatory practices being engaged in against certain populations of people by healthcare practitioners; as well as financial loss incurred as a result.
Additionally, this rule requires health care practitioners to facilitate information exchange when it is reasonable and necessary. This may involve sharing patient records with family members and/or providing individuals with online access to EHI from organizations providing such access. Providers may charge fees or license interoperability elements to facilitate such exchange provided these activities do not violate discriminatory or opportunistic practices that inhibit patient access to EHI.
EHI Continuing Education
The 21st Century Cures Act mandates interoperability as part of providing patients access to their health information; however, healthcare providers and HIEs/HINs continue to face difficulties complying with its provisions. These include avoiding information blocking and making sure employees understand requirements. Furthermore, healthcare providers must review their systems and policies for compliance purposes under this rule. Providers should take measures to protect EHI disclosure by ensuring their systems don’t block disclosure, restrict access to their websites, or require patients to pay fees for accessing it. They should also prepare to educate employees and push back against vendors who include information blocking clauses in contracts.
One participant, for instance, has expressed an interest in using e-health in malaria prevention and control. She plans to pursue a PhD in this area to increase scientific output in Indonesia as well as contribute to global antimalarial initiatives. Her aim is to use her research skills and contacts within her home country to create partnerships for malaria research and advocacy activities.
She has conducted field research in Timika, Papua, to examine the role parasites play in malaria transmission. Her aim is to gain a thorough understanding of this epidemic and how it impacts communities; furthermore she plans on working on both malaria and other viral diseases in the future.
She has come to value the significance of therapeutic relationships in helping clients transform their lives. Her instructors emphasize the significance of empathy and authenticity for trainees as tools that facilitate sensitivity to clients’ emotions, relational patterns, and inner worlds – qualities essential for building life-changing therapeutic encounters. Client-centric physicians cultivate a deep sense of presence that fosters clients’ emotional and relational resilience, equipping them to better help patients overcome traumas and addictions. Furthermore, these skills can be applied across other aspects of clinical practice; strengthening relationships among peers as well as members of their community – even becoming mentors for younger medical students as they find their path toward a rewarding medical career path.
