“Energy healing is the oldest health protocol on Earth. Healers tap into the subtle energies of an individual’s body to address their clients’ concerns. It may seem mystical, and exciting to many, including myself. Yet, it is not as magical as you believe it to be.

Some may worry about delving into the unknown and dangerous path, please let me ease your mind. Holistic medicine, energy medicine, or energy healing are all the same. Simply defined, they are a natural, non-invasive way to restore the health of the body and the mind while balancing the emotional and spiritual state of the individual.

The body can heal itself if you allow it to do so. Healers like me to tap into the subtle energies of the body to help you shift distorted energies so that your body can take over the healing process. The symptoms of an individual are not exclusive to one condition; therefore, as a healer, I do not work with the diagnosed condition but with the symptoms, treating the body as a whole (hence the reason natural modalities are addressed as “holistic” or “whole-istic” … get it?).

This is different from Western Medicine, which treats each condition independently. Therefore, holistically speaking, it is safe to say that as the energy of one part of the body breaks down, it affects another, even if it does not seem to be related. Compare it to a house’s electrical system. When there is a short circuit in the electrical system that leads to the kitchen, you may notice the lights in the back room of the house flickering or dimming at times.

Holistic medicine is founded in ancient philosophies and health therapies like Traditional Chinese Medicine, which addresses the meridians in their healing protocols, and the Vedas, ancient texts that describe the philosophies of yoga and greatly contributed to the evolution of Indian and Buddhist culture and healing therapies.

Interestingly, scientists have proved the existence of energy fields in the body. Starting with Einstein, who spoke about the existence of “subtle energies,” yet he did not have the means to measure them. With time and the evolution of technology, scientists have proven the existence of electromagnetic energy around the body, in addition to what they have addressed as “local energies” and “energy pathways.”

What is interesting is that these “discovered” energies in the body coincide with the ancient philosophy location of the Aura (electromagnetic field), the Chakras (local fields), and the Meridians (energy pathways).

Oh, listen to this! One recent study stated that at the University of Stanford, Professor William Tiller designed an instrument that demonstrated the existence of an energy field that is not within the electromagnetic spectrum (coinciding with what Einstein said). Tiller, however, went a step further when he stated that the device had shown that this subtle energy field responds to human intention.

This is the energy field that all energy healers tap into. It is an energy field that any person interested in tapping into it can do so. It is as easy as setting your intention and following the process … yet intention alone is Magical!”
