Energy Healing – A Brief Background

The energy that runs you is no different than the energy that runs the universe.

There is nothing mystical about energy healing at all.  Just like steam, water, and ice are all the same thing in different forms, so are your body, emotion, mind, and spirit.  The energy that runs a power plant, your toaster, or the orbit of the planets, is no different than the energy that runs a living organism (i.e. you!).   We tend to like to separate things into parts. (Is the problem my head or my stomach? . . . Is it physical or emotional? . . . etc.)  

None of your components (just like none of the universe's components) function in a vacuum; no part of you is completely healthy unless all parts of you are.  Just like dirty steam will condense to dirty water and ice, so will impure or blocked energy congeal into impure or blocked physical and mental health.  In the same manner that bottled water companies distill water into steam to purify it, so are we doing with energy, to bring wholeness and wholesomeness to your total self. 

Among other things, we will be interested in the free flow of energy.  Much illness is a result of energy drains and energy blockages.   For total health, energy, like blood, must circulate freely, without either blocks or hemorrhages.

What is Life?   

Suppose you walked into a large room.  At the distant end of the room, there were two people laying down.  One was dead, and the other was alive and healthy, but being very still.  From the distance, how could you tell which was which?  They are both anatomically the same.  They both have stomachs, biceps, sacroiliac joints, etc.  What's the difference?

From the perspective of mass, there is no difference.  Let's complicate it further.  The dead person was an athlete, in excellent shape.  The living person is in poor health - pale, anemic, emaciated.   From your distance, you'd quite likely pick the wrong one as the dead one.

The difference is all energetic.  So after a few minutes, you walk up very close.  You study very carefully, and you see that one person's chest is rising and falling in a rhythm.  You touch that person, and feel warmth, and then a pulse.  

So here is life.  Energy, rhythm, pulse, heat, frequency, vibration, movement, ebb and flow, flux, change, . . . without these things, you are dead.

Doctors learn about living bodies by cutting up dead people.  Could it be that they are missing something?

A Holistic Alternative

The empathic energy healing that I practice is a holistic alternative to standard western medicine.  Medical science has made great advancements in the quality of our lives, but it is not perfect.  Doctors are like mechanics; concerned with the physical body only, which is only a fraction of your total self.  Likewise, psychiatrists deal with only the mental/emotional components; acupuncturists with the energetic component; “faith healers” with the spiritual component, etc.  All of these healers can document successes.  Millions of people have been healed by conventional medicine.  Millions have not.

Another limitation of “non-alternative” healing is that all of these disciplines contain the tendency for the practitioner to fall in love with what (s)he does, not what you need. Standard doctors, psychiatrists, chiropractors, etc. tend to apply what they do upon you, as if you were an object.  You are the person with the need.  You are the person with the checkbook.  But it’s not about you, is it?  It’s about them; their practice, their diagnosis, their prescriptions.  (This is just a tendency.  Many doctors are not this way at all, but it is a philosophic “trap” that they must work to avoid.)

This results in a preoccupation with making the symptoms go away, or masking your awareness of the symptoms, as opposed to fixing the underlying root problem.  The doctor may even describe your health as not feeling the bad symptoms.  Your health is so much more than that!  In fact, same symptoms can come from a number of different causes, and if those root causes are properly addressed, the symptoms take care of themselves.  

Your doctor doesn't work for you, but rather against your disease / pathology / symptoms.  I do not work against your symptoms, but rather for your total self.

If you go to the doctor, you are expected to have a complaint.  If you say, “I feel great!  I just want to keep feeling great.  I want to live a life of feeling better and better”, the doctor may not know what to do.  (S)he may think you are crazy.  But this is the sanest request you can make.  There should be no limit on how healthy you can be.

Please love your doctor

I AM PRO-DOCTOR!   I have a doctor. He is excellent, and provides me with health care that has improved the quality of my life.  Before the advance of modern Western Medicine, life expectancy was about 40 years old.  Western Medicine is obviously doing something right.  But Western Medicine is not limitless, and it is not perfect.  Since it is fundamentally based on so called scientific medicine, anything that is not precisely explainable and reproducible is thrown out completely.  This is, in my opinion, a mistake.  And it points out a fundamental difference between two different views of health, and two different definitions of what “healthy” means.  These two systems should not be antagonistic.

I do not heal every person that comes to me, nor does my doctor heal everyone who comes to him.  (Actually, my cure rate is higher).  But both of us understand that ultimately, we do not heal any one.  All healing comes from God and from within you. 

Please remember that this energy healing is supplemental.  I do not propose to take the place of your doctor.  In fact, for any medical condition, you should only come to me if your doctor is aware and fully approves.
