Intro to Energy Medicine

Every living being on Earth is full of energies – energies that direct us, motivate us, and keep us going.  Both electromagnetic energies and more subtle energies form the dynamic infrastructure of the physical body. Energy Medicine recognizes this energy as a vital and living force that greatly impacts a person’s health and happiness.  When energies become weak, disturbed, or out of balance – your body is also unbalanced.  Energy Medicine is a system of care that addresses physical illness, emotional or mental disorders, and helps to promote wellness.

For a body to be healthy, it needs its energies to move freely in specific patterns and to maintain balance with other energies.  Flow, balance, and harmony can be restored and maintained with massaging specific energy points on the skin and exercises and postures designed for specific energetic efforts.  Focused use of the mind can move specific energies.  Surrounding an area with healing energies of another person can also impact the body’s energy.

Energy Medicine can be used to help with medical conditions in several ways.  The first would be to refocus the body’s energies into a good flow, harmony, and balance as mentioned previously.  Energy Medicine focuses on the entire body as a system, rather than targeting one specific area.  In this way, the body’s overall energies are addressed.  An Energy Medicine practitioner can help to get overall body energy into a strong and healthy flow.  A practitioner may give an individual exercises and methods to help strengthen and balance energies such as yoga, meditation, and massage.

A practitioner can also help to assess the body’s energies and the manner in which they are affecting or contributing to a medical condition.  Based on the assessment, an individualized and specific treatment plan can be created.  A practitioner can also suggest daily routine changes to help improve movement of the body’s energies.

Applying the principles of Energy Medicine to medical and emotional problems is the first step toward a healthy and happy body and life.  A practitioner can help you to make changes to energies that can affect your overall outlook on the world around you – improved optimism, reduced pain in the body, and general happiness levels increase.  Working with an Energy Medicine practitioner to improve your body’s energy is a step in the right direction for you and your body.
