Energy
Healing
Using the hands to comfort and soothe is the oldest healing
method there is. With the fear of the unknown and the rise
of scientific methods, this simple yet effective means of
alleviating suffering was relegated to the past. It has
refused to stay there, however, as people are discovering
that modern medicine is not completely meeting their needs.
Research published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association shows that every year more people are using
alternative methods in their search for something that will
help them. Research also found that people seek out
alternative and complementary practitioners because they
want to be seen as the complex individuals that they are
instead of just body parts, and they want to have a more
active role in their own healing process.
I view energy healing, which is gentle and non-invasive, as
the complement and balance to the more aggressive approach
of allopathic medicine. In combination they are the yin and
yang, the feminine and the masculine, creating a wholeness
that either by itself lacks. Many mind/body programs that
are now part of hospitals are showing that integrative
medicine is the future.
One of the most satisfying aspects of my energy healing
practice is to alleviate a problem that a person may have
had for months or years, and for which no other treatment
has been effective. Many times a physician will prescribe
medications that have harmful side effects, or surgeries
that do not cure the problem and sometimes make it worse.
Eventually the patient may be told that he or she will
"just have to live with it."
During an energy healing session one of the first things
that a person will notice is the deep sense of relaxation
and well-being that occurs as their stress and anxiety
levels drop. This alone is healing, as stress and stress
hormones are implicated in many serious disease states. As
stress is relieved and the biochemistry comes into balance,
the body's natural ability to self-heal is enhanced. No
matter what you are receiving healing interventions for,
whether to relieve pain, accelerate healing, ease
depression and anxiety, clear toxins, strengthen the body
in preparation for surgery, or for any other reasons, the
relaxed body can more effectively receive and utilize the
healing energy. I have seen problems of long-standing, --
10 years, 20 years, even, in one case, 40 years --
alleviated in one or two sessions. These may be atypical,
but it gives an idea of the potential of energy healing
under certain circumstances.
