Principles of Energy Medicine
Energy Medicine is both a complement to the approaches of medical care and a complete system for self care and self help, it can address physical and emotional conditions by activating the body's own natural healing energies, restoring energies that have become weakened or out of balance. Through working with our electromagnetic energies also known as the Human Biofield we access the more subtle energies of our physical body that resonate deeply into the frequencies of our cells that go beyond symptom based models.
An essential principle of energy medicine is that Energy wants to move and healthy movement of energy keeps the body vital by supporting its functions. Energy wants to move in specific patterns through pathways that work in harmony with our physical anatomy. Energy needs space to move and when our energy systems become blocked or stagnant due to prolonged stress, muscular constrictions, toxins or interference from the energies in our environment the energy patterns can become constricted leaving the body unable to function optimally, and if left unchecked, over time, prolonged stress may lead to pain, discomfort, emotional imbalance that results in habits that can ingrain the restrictive flow, making it more difficult to make necessary changes needed for self care and self help.
Energy wants to move in crossover patterns. At all levels from the micro level of the double helix of our DNA to the macro level of our physical structure where the left side of our brain controls the right side of our body, energy naturally makes crossover patterns. The more energy patterns people have within their energetic bio field, the healthier they may be. From a Energetic Perspective healthy bodies have an abundance of crossover patterns at every level of their energy anatomy and so I introduce all of my clients to their own energy systems and teach them simple techniques they can take home to offer selfcare in their own healing journey.
All the body's energies are interconnected, they influence one another, so when an area is out of balance other parts of the body may get involved. Balancing specific energy systems goes beyond symptom based treatments that offer opportunities that model and address health and healing from a more holistic framework.
Our energies are affected by other people, places and events. Our energy fields either protect us or if stressful situations, people or environment throw us out of balance we can become vulnerable to the energies of others, the environment, situations and over time our energy systems will adapt to survival priorities even at the expense of organ systems. This can occur consciously or unconsciously and when we prioritize and focus our attention on working with our energy systems we then provide the body with the awareness and focused support it needs even when habits that have become ingrained and difficult to repattern we can shift our own energy.
Energies can be repatterned! Reprogramming our response to stress. Repatterning is a core intention of energy medicine. Flow, Balance and Harmony can be restored and maintained within the energy systems. There are lots of things we can do to influence the repatterning of imbalance energy patterns and you might be surprised by how easy, non-invasive, and fun it can be. Some things you may have been doing already not realizing were helpful to calming our responses to stressors we encounter, can be done with more intention and deliberation.
There are many energy exercises, poses & postures that support energetic balance. When we focus our awareness and intention on self care and healing remarkable things can shift in our biofield, when we learn how to release imbalanced patterns & habits and replace them with awareness and techniques that promote healthy energy patterns, energy medicine becomes a valuable part of our daily lives and enrichment.
Some specific ways to influence energy patterns and flow include:
Tapping, massaging, tracing & connecting specific energy pathways, Dancing, Poses & Postures designed for specific energetic effects, focused imagery of the mind to move energy, color, music
Some of the energy systems I work with specifically are:
The Meridians, the Chakras, the Aura, the Radiant Circuits & Triple Warmer (aka branches of the autonomic nervous system), Celtic Weave, and the 5 Elements or Rhythms
