| Teaching
classes in Energy Medicine throughout the U.S., South America, Europe, and Australia over
these past several years, it has been incredible to watch how quickly and eagerly people
are learning to work with the energetic dimension of their physical body. Everything
shifts as you use energy techniques that not only keep you healthy but can improve your
well-being in every aspect of your life: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Learning to tune into this neglected dimension of your being empowers you immensely.
Energy Medicine is based on the
understanding that any physical, mental, or behavioral problem has a counterpart in the
body’s energies and can be treated at that level. Every conceivable health problem,
psychological challenge, or dysfunctional habit can be improved if not overcome by
intelligently shifting the energies in the body that are maintaining that condition. This
extends from treating cancer or M.S. to losing weight to increasing your vitality to
improving your performance at something that really matters to you. And in the process,
you become more consciously, intimately, and joyfully involved in the deepest
workings of your physical body, a journey that extends down to your soul.
One of my first clients, from over two
decades ago, showed me the power of working with a person’s energies. A woman with
ovarian cancer came for a session with the hope that I could help relax her body and
prepare it for a surgery that was scheduled in five days. She had been told to "get
her affairs in order" as her immune system was so weak that her chances of surviving
the surgery were limited. Metastases was also suspected.
From looking at her energy, I was certain
the cancer had not metastasized. While her energy was dim and collapsed close to her body,
the only place that looked like cancer to me was in her left ovary. In addition, the
texture and vibration and appearance of the energy coming up through her ovary was
responsive to my work with her. I could see and feel it shift, and by the end of the
session, the pain that had been with her for weeks was gone.
I told her that her body was so responsive
to what I had done that I wondered about her plan to have surgery. I was concerned that
her immune system was indeed too weak, and I was confident that by working with her
energy, not only would her immune system be strengthened, the tumor's growth could be
reversed. While I made my statements with the strong disclaimers required to avoid
immediate arrest for practicing medicine without a license, she responded to the
implication that she cancel the surgery with horror. I suggested she at least delay the
operation for two weeks. She scheduled a session with me for the next day and said she
would discuss the surgery with her husband.
That evening I received a call from her
husband. He was outraged and threatening. He called me a "quack." He said I was
putting his wife's life in jeopardy by giving her false hope, and he told me I would never
have another chance to confuse her like this. He made it clear that she would not be
coming back. When I began to respond, he hung up. I called back a short while later. She
answered. Talking in hushed tones, she was clearly uncomfortable speaking with me. I said,
"Okay, don't postpone the surgery, but please keep your appointment tomorrow. You
don't have to pay. You have nothing to lose. I believe in what I am saying. In fact, I
want you to bring your husband in with you. Find a way!" She did not believe he would
come in, but the next day, they both arrived for the appointment.
I had her lie down on the massage table. My
hope was to find a way to give this traditional and skeptical man, so poignantly fierce in
his protection of his wife, an experience of healing energy that his senses could not
deny. I could see a dark, dense energy at the site of his wife's left ovary, and it felt
like my hand was moving through a muddy swamp. I asked the husband to place his hand a few
inches above the area and begin to circle it, using a motion that tends to draw energy out
of the body. To his great surprise, not only could he immediately feel that he was moving
against something, within two minutes his hand was pulsing with pain. To his utter
amazement, his wife reported that her pain diminished as his increased.
By the end of the session she was again
pain-free, felt better, and looked better. I had also been able to show them both, through
the use of "energy testing," that we had been able to direct healing energies
from her immune system to the area of her cancer. I taught him a set of procedures to use
with her every day. They decided to temporarily postpone the surgery and ask for further
medical tests prior to rescheduling it. After about ten days of these daily treatments
from him and three more sessions with me, she went through the additional testing. The
tumor was gone.
I have since taught tens of thousands of
people how to manage their own energy systems. I do not know of a more important skill to
develop. The first practitioner of energy medicine is you. We are required today to
live in conscious partnership with our body's energy systems if we are to live fully. And
it is easier than you might imagine to learn how to mobilize inner forces that enhance
your health, empower your mind, and literally brighten your spirit. |
