Energy medicine
is both a complement to other approaches to medical care and a complete system for
self-care and self-help. It can address physical illness and emotional or mental
disorders, and can also promote high-level wellness and peak performance.
You heal the body by activating its natural
healing energies; you also heal the body by restoring energies that have become weak,
disturbed, or out of balance.
To accomplish this goal, energy medicine
utilizes techniques from healing traditions such as acupuncture, yoga, kinesiology, and qi
gong. Flow, balance, and harmony can be non-invasively restored and maintained within an
energy system by tapping, massaging, pinching, twisting, or connecting specific energy
points (acupoints) on the skin; by tracing or swirling the hand over the skin along
specific energy pathways; through exercises or postures designed for specific energetic
effects; by focused use of the mind to move specific energies; and/or by surrounding an
area with healing energies (one person’s energies impacts another’s).
Use energy medicine to treat illness and
relieve pain; stop the onset of illness as soon as it begins, stimulate immune function,
relieve headaches, release stress, improve memory, enhance digestion, relieve arthritis,
neck, shoulder, and low back pain, and cope with electromagnetic pollution.
By learning simple energy techniques to
keep your energies balanced and humming, you can improve your health, sharpen your mind,
and increase your joy and vitality. |
