Energy


Hypothesis: “Every part of the body, including all of the molecules so thoroughly studied by modern science… form a continuously interconnected semi-conductor electronic network.   Each component of the organism, even the smallest part, is immersed in, and generates, a constant stream of vibratory information.   This is information about all of the activities taking place everywhere in the body.

Complete health corresponds to total interconnection.   Accumulated physical and / or emotional trauma impairs the connections.   When this happens, the body’s defense and repair systems become impaired and disease has a chance to take hold.

Energy therapies restore and balance the vibratory circuitry, with obvious and profound benefits.   The body’s defense and repair systems are able to repair themselves”.

[James L. Oschman PhD - 2000. Energy Medicine:The Scientific Basis]

“It is common knowledge that when one relaxes, the currents of energy throughout the body flow more freely.   We are able to give people the experience of the relaxed state by practical application of our method in direct, gentle, physical contact instead of from an abstract perspective.

We establish a loving, caring understanding of their problems in a supportive fashion.   They realise that we encourage them in their own efforts to help themselves.   They develop the realization that there are no limitations in what they can do to better their existence.

Their awareness increases as a healthy body and mind pattern begins to unfold.   The Polarity practices develop a stability in the individual which leads to a more successful way of life.   Another way I might say this is that when people are ready to change their attitude, then they will change their lives to attract more happiness.”  [extract from an article on Polarity Therapy by Pierre Pannetier DN 1977]

Wave of the Future
The use of energy as medicine to cure and prevent human disease and degeneration has been studied and practised for thousands of years in China and other Oriental cultures.   
“Energy medicine holds the potential to revolutionize health care throughout the world, and it’s high time that it did.   Despite all the fancy gadgets and high-tech machinery, the expensive new drugs and increasingly complex surgical procedures upon which modern Western medicine depends, this form of medicine is rapidly losing the battle against cancer and AIDS, Altzheimer’s and heart disease, and scores of other ailments prevalent in the industrially developed world.   Meanwhile, the cost of the complex chemical-mechanistic methods favoured by orthodox Western medicine continues to multiply at a rate that affects the national economies of many countries.
Energy medicine requires little or no equipment, no drugs, no hospitalization, and entails little or no cost to the patient other than time and effort.    Based on the proven premise that all healing ultimately takes place within the patient’s  own energy system, and that all the therapist can do is stimulate the patient’s own energies to rally to his or her defence, energy medicine is good news for patients but very bad news for the bloated multi-billion dollar hospital and pharmaceutical industries, which thrive on public health crises without solving them.
Another good thing about energy medicine is that it enriches consciousness while promoting health and prolonging life. Owing to the inseparable and mutually transformative relationships among the Three Treasures of essence, energy, and spirit - in which energy functions as  a bridge between body and mind -  energy medicine not only heals the body, it also enhances the mind and stimulates spiritual growth.   Antibiotics and surgery certainly don’t do that!
Fortunately, when it comes down to the life-and-death issues of health and disease, people are interested only in what works, not in academic arguments and political debates.   Since energy medicine, when properly practised, usually works better than chemical or surgical medicine, without extravagant expense or debilitating side effects, it’s only a matter of time before the public demands its inclusion into the mainstream of modern medical care.”
[Daniel Read -The Complete Book of Chinese Health & Healing p266.]

(Extract from) BODY INTELLIGENCE

Your intelligence is always with you,

overseeing your body, even though

you may not be aware of its work.

If you start doing something against

your health, your intelligence

will eventually scold you.

If it hadn’t been so lovingly close by,

and so constantly monitoring,

how could it rebuke?

You and your intelligence

are like the beauty and the precision

of an astrolabe.

Together, you calculate how near

existence is to the sun!

Your intelligence is marvellously intimate.

It’s not in front of you or behind,

or to the left or right.

Now try, my friend, to describe how near

is the creator of your intellect!….

From Rumi The Essential Rumi translated by Coleman Barks with John Moyne
