Many conventional scientists are skeptical of energy medicine, yet the science supporting healing techniques continues to progress rapidly. We’ve made great strides from believing there are no energies present within us to accepting them as real sources.
This book presents the scientific basis of several hands-on energy therapies that aim to regulate physiology. With straightforward language and accessible coverage, well-researched scientific evidence explaining why and how energy medicine works are provided as key pillars.
What Is Energy Medicine?
Energy healing specializes in treating imbalances to the body’s energy field (biofield), known as biomedicine. If its functioning becomes disturbed, illness can arise; energy medicine works towards balancing this biofield and treating any physical, emotional, or spiritual issues that contribute to disease.
Energy medicine has been practiced for millennia. Today, its practice is supported by modern scientific research and becoming more and more prevalent within wellness centers and even hospitals – over 500 practitioners can now be found just in the US alone!
Modern physics has demonstrated that everything is energy, including our bodies. Our biofield consists of electromagnetic fields surrounding and connecting all tissues within our bodies; when affected by stress, trauma or health concerns it may become weaken or unbalanced, leading to reduced flow of vitality throughout the body and eventually slowing it down altogether.
When that occurs, it can set off an immune response and result in symptoms ranging from chronic pain to fatigue and problems with nervous and endocrine systems – it could even affect genes!
There are various approaches available to address energy imbalances. One form of energy medicine, Acupuncture, involves inserting needles at specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and facilitate healing. Other forms include Qigong, Massage and Reiki therapy as forms of alternative remedies.
Jill interviews leading healers and researchers around the globe in Energy Medicine to gain greater insight into this powerful force. From Stanford and Princeton professors studying biofield physics to Chinese Qi Gong masters who can manifest herbs directly from their palm, to teams using “hands on” healing to repeatedly cure cancer in mice – Jill takes us on an international journey to better comprehend and apply this fascinating healing modality.
Why Is Energy Medicine Important?
Natural energy flows within and around our bodies play an essential role in maintaining overall wellness. When they become disrupted, disease often follows quickly behind it. Energy medicine techniques activate our own healing abilities by reinvigorating weak or disturbed energies around us and within.
These practices differ from pharmaceuticals in that they target electromagnetic (EM) signals that communicate directly with organs and systems – these signals are controlled by similar mechanisms to pain receptors in the brain.
Acupuncture, therapeutic touch and Reiki are ancient energy healing practices known as “biofield therapies.” Scientists have started measuring these energy fields around human bodies – estimated at 8 feet from the skin surface – purported to contain photons, magnetic particles and other forms of energy that contribute to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Studies have demonstrated that energy healing helps alleviate pain, stress and fatigue while improving measures of autonomic nervous system activity, such as blood pressure and heart rate. Researchers attribute these positive results to energy healing working its magic through our body’s biofield; however, its exact mechanism remains unknown.
Energy-based therapies are being created to treat diseases such as cancer. Others have become part of hospital settings as gentle interventions that complement Western physicians.
Future wellness trends will focus less on diet and exercise and more on ancient and modern energy healing modalities. Wellness destinations could serve as research labs offering advanced energy medicine treatments, like 1440 Multiversity near Silicon Valley: This institute brings together top wellness practitioners, doctors and PhDs for workshops combining ancient EMs with cutting-edge EM technology.
How Can Energy Medicine Help You?
Energy medicine employs techniques that harness the body’s own healing potential by reinstating weak or disturbed energy channels. Energy medicine practitioners believe that imbalanced energies are often behind disease and early signs of aging, so promoting balanced energies may bring back homeostasis within your system and promote health overall. Energy practitioners and patients believe balancing energies will relieve pain, sleep problems, mood disorders and anxiety while simultaneously strengthening immunity and immunity levels – these practices include Reiki (pronounced ray-key), Acupuncture, Acupressure Massage as well as music therapy among others.
Energy medicine can not only relieve symptoms of stress and anxiety, but can also aid with conditions like fibromyalgia, migraines, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, gastrointestinal issues and other common ailments. While traditional medicines work by altering chemical signals within the body, energy medicine employs electromagnetic waves which regulate organ system functioning more directly.
Energy healing can also be combined with other forms of treatment, like acupuncture, to maximize its impact. An energy therapist uses their hands to direct electromagnetic fields toward parts of the body affected by physical injuries or emotional trauma; this helps heal them while relieving pain while relieving tension.
Jill Blakeway has been practicing energy medicine for more than 25 years. Though she admits not fully understanding why certain patients respond so favorably under her care, energy medicine can often help people identify the source of their illness rather than simply treat symptoms.
In this updated edition, she explores how the human body is an energy system with living, vibrating cells. Easy-to-understand coverage explains energy medicine while established scientific research illustrates why and how it works. From acupuncture and osteopathy to therapeutic touch and energy psychology – this book covers everything related to energy medicine for improved health and wellbeing. An invaluable resource.
What Can Energy Medicine Do for You?
Energy healing is a non-invasive form of healing which treats all aspects of body wellness. It can provide relief from anxiety and stress, boost immunity and sleep quality and accelerate spiritual development. When selecting an energy healer to use this healing practice on you, do your research first to find one with credentials suitable to your needs such as acupuncture, Reiki Healing Touch Qigong Biofeedback etc.
Energy medicine (EM), unlike conventional medicine which primarily focuses on biochemistry, operates under the principle that all illness is the result of imbalances within one’s energy field or biofield. Energy medicine practitioners believe that when energy channels become blocked or stagnant they impair our bodies ability to heal themselves naturally and naturally.
First step of Energy Medicine (EM) involves clearing away blockages to energy flow by treating Polarity Therapy; both patient and practitioner work collaboratively to neutralize and shift energy in their biofield. Once balanced, an EM practitioner can begin working to address emotional blocks or patterns which contribute to disease in the body.
There has also been an increase in energy therapies as part of an individual’s wellness routine to prevent illness, reduce symptoms and enhance quality of life – this trend being particularly notable with chronic pain patients who often evade traditional approaches and could benefit from complementary and alternative medicine interventions.
This book takes us on an international journey to better comprehend, apply, and explain this powerful healing force. Along the way we meet Stanford and Princeton professors who study energy medicine; a Chinese Qi Gong master who has successfully treated cancerous mice by touching them; as well as an individual using energy healing to overcome miscarriages in her own pregnancy.
As more women become aware of how hormone levels impact their health, energy healing has become an increasingly popular natural solution to balance hormonal levels, relieve menstrual cramps and increase fertility. This comprehensive guide uses energy healing techniques to support reproductive systems as well as immune, cardiovascular, lymphatic and nervous systems.
