Energy Healing Strategies

Energy Healing: pH, Electrons and Earthing

While this topic is about energy and healing it isn’t really Energy Healing. It is about how to increase your body’s recourses to increase its ability to repair and heal. I remember hearing for years that maintaining a healthy pH and being out in nature helps keeps your body healthy and heal, but since I didn’t understand why I didn’t pay much attention to these factors. Now that I do understand why, maintaining a healthy pH and tapping into to nature are so important, they are a huge part of my healing strategy.

In the book Healing is Voltage – The Handbook, Dr. Jerry Tennant realized that cells need a very specific environment to work properly. Dr. Tennant made this discovery during his own journey to regain his own health. It is a very interesting book and looks at the environment of a cell by looking at Glucose, Temperature, Blood Pressure, pH and Oxygen. For now I am going discuss the effect of pH on healing and how to change your body’s pH. Once you understand why it’s so important, there are many ways we can keep our cells in a healthy pH range.

We have all heard about free radicals and antioxidants but here are the definitions from the book.

“A free radical is a molecule that is missing electrons. It is like a mugger looking for someone’s purse to steal. When a free radical steals electrons from a cell, it damages the cell.

An antioxidant is a molecule capable of giving electrons away……….”1

An antioxidant is an electron donor, has a pH of 7.1 -14, is alkaline and constructive.

“Electron stealers cause damage, are pH from 0 to 6.9, are acidic, are free radicals, are the positive pole, are destructive, and at the atomic level spin left.”1

The best things to do to maintain the proper pH is to walk barefoot on the earth, drink water from a moving body of water and eat food grown from earth in its natural state. The earth, plants and water from a stream contains electrons and when you touch, eat or drink these things they give you the electrons that you are missing. Once you receive the needed electrons, assuming everything else is in order, the cells in your body can work properly and they are able to heal.

“The earth is a large electromagnet………An area of high voltage always causes electrons to flow to an area of low voltage. If your body has a lower voltage than the earth, walking barefoot on the dirt or grass will cause electrons to flow from the earth into your body, recharging you.”1

Alternatively, when you eat and drink, low pH, or acidic things or go in a toxic environment, those cells can steal electrons from the cells in your body which damages them.

In our modern life this isn’t always possible to be in nature and eat the right foods, but I will give you things that you can do to give you the needed electrons.

VibesUp products – these products are designed from things found in nature to provide you the benefits of being in nature. I have been using these products for years and I love them. http://vibesup.com/shop

I have noticed a significant improvement in my body since I started using the Earthing and grounding products, especially with the Earthing mat and sheets. I do know that actually walking on the earth and eating natural foods, especially raw fruits and vegetables, is the best way to keep your cells in the proper pH, but that is not always possible or practical. As always, this is just one aspect of my energy healing strategy.

Energy Healing: Vibrational Healing Therapies

I hear healers and transformational leaders say more and more that increasing your vibrational frequency is one of the most important things a person can do in transformation and healing. I am starting to see and feel in my personal healing that raising my frequency is more, or at least, as important as clearing negativity. Your thoughts are very important in changing your personal vibration, but it’s only one factor. I also use energy healing and other tools, such as music, diet, breath work and meditation. See My Favorites tab for other tools and sources of information on how to increase your vibrational frequency.

As I discussed in What Energy Healing Is post, everything is energy and has a vibrational frequency. It is important to know that things with a high vibrational frequency are healing and those with a low vibrational frequency are destructive. Thoughts P vs F Another very important concept is entrainment, when two energy bodies are in contact or connected in some way, their vibrational frequency will entrain to be the same. This is true for two people, a person and the earth or a person and food or water. Many types of energy healing work because of resonance and entrainment. So, when you listen to or use products that vibrate at a higher frequency than your body, your body will entrain up to that higher frequency. The issue is then to continue it, surround yourself with people and things to keep it high.

Some experts feel that you must clear the denser low vibration thoughts and emotions before you can hold a high vibration, others believe when you hold a high vibration, the negative thoughts and emotions dissolve. I don’t think it matters which approach you take and in fact many of the tools I use do both at the same time.

Here are some of the tools I use and found helpful:

As I mentioned in How to Work with Energy, I love the programs from Christie Marie Sheldon. I have used two of her energy healing products the Love or Above Spiritual Toolkit and Unlimited Abundance Program and enjoyed and learned from both of them.1 In the Love or Above Spiritual Toolkit, she gives you many useful tools.
I use tools from Mashhur Anam from Life Harmonized2, Panache Desai and Meg Benedicte. Almost all of their tools do both clear density and raise vibration.
Dr. Alex Lyod, author and creator of The Healing Code, just released a new product called The Immune System Miracle Key. It is a collection of audios and videos that contain very powerful words and music.3 In the workbook that is part of the product, Alex Loyd explain why he used the frequency he uses in the product of 528 Hz, the frequency of Love and DNA repair. The workbook also includes the Solfeggio scale which shows the frequencies and there definitions and as you will see the more positive the thought the higher the frequency. If you want more information on the Solfeggio scale do an internet search, I found a site that was easy to read and I include it below.4
There is an online store called VibesUp with products created by Kaitlyn Keyt. They have these amazing mats that are made of live extracts of flowers, plant, trees and grounding gems and are designed to raise the frequency of anything in contact with them. They also give you a grounding as if you were standing barefoot on the earth. They also have jewelry and personal care products like soaps and deodorant.

Vibrational therapies can be added to all aspects of your life, most are easy to use and won’t interfere with most medical treatments. I find that as with other energy healing therapies make you feel happy and at peace.

Energy Healing: How to Work with Energy

I didn’t know a thing about energy healing when I began my healing journey. I was familiar with chiropractic and acupuncture, but energy healing was all new. I started working with different intuitive energy healers but I thought working with energy was difficult and required some magical skill that only some people had. I have since learned that it is a skill that can be learned, although some are more gifted than others.

When I began my search for the “cure” to the illness which I had been diagnosed, I tried many alternative and energy healing techniques, but I didn’t understand how they worked. I did not know how to see, feel or work with energy. As this field is growing and expanding more information is being shared. There have always been people willing to teach healers how to work with energy, but not simple things that people could use in their daily lives.

Energy can be moved or transformed simply through your desire or intention for it to do so. You can visualize clearing or transmuting negative or low vibration energy, either within you or around you. You can also visualize a tool to move the energy, the tool can be anything like a divine light, vacuum or tornado. You can also clear energy within you such as anger or sorrow, simply by letting go of it or asking it to leave. Also, see my posts on releasing stress. Healing Codes, EFT and Theta, The Release Technique

My favorite intuitive healer / teacher is Christie Marie Sheldon. I have used two of her energy healing products the Love or Above Spiritual Toolkit and Unlimited Abundance Program and enjoyed and learned from both of them.1 In the Love or Above Spiritual Toolkit, I learned more about the importance of your thoughts and feelings and how they affect your vibrational frequency, how to open up your intuition and how to clear energy in your body and environment. This program is great for people just learning about energy work. I am just about done with the Unlimited Abundance Program and it has taught me an easy and effective method for clearing limiting emotional blocks and beliefs. It has over 24 hours of audio which helped me clear many blocks to abundance. The program is not only for financial abundance, but for any type of abundance money, relationship and health.

My other favorite intuitive healer is Mashhur Anam from Life Harmonized who creates energy healing tools and once you download the tools, you can use them every day to do many different things. 2 I have many tools such as Rings of Harmony, Restore Inner Harmony, and Love is Power. They all do different things but they cleanse and harmonize your energy system which helps you raise your personal vibrational frequency. Go to the website to learn about the tools, I love them. Mashhur is not mainstream and may not appeal to energy beginners.

Since everything is energy, including us and our thoughts, we can affect the energy in and around us. Developing these skills is a matter of learning to be aware and practice. If you are not one of those people who are born with the intuitive or physic skills, you can learn to develop them. I am taking a Seeing and Perceiving webinar through Quantum Touch. 3 Also, you can do meditations and exercises to develop the skill. The Love or Above program I discussed above has some tools to develop intuition. 1 Working with energy is fun and with practice can be learned including energy healing. Quantum Touch is an energy healing technique that you can learn for you, family and friends.

How Energy Healing Works – Hands On and Distance Healing

As I discussed in the “What Energy Healing Is…” posts, energy Healing includes techniques that add healing energy, change the characteristic of energy or remove energetic blocks. I believe that energy healing techniques work under the premise that our bodies know how to heal themselves once they have the resources available. The techniques include hands on or distance healing, clearing or releasing negative feelings/emotions, alternative therapies and tools and even some supplements. What energy healing is

Let’s start with hands on and distance healing. I am in the process of getting certified as a practitioner in Quantum Touch (QT), so I am most familiar with this technique and have seen and felt some amazing things. In Richard Gordon’s book Quantum Touch: The Power to Heal, he explains how QT works.

“In Quantum Touch, practitioners learn through breath and meditation techniques to raise the vibration of their hands to a very high frequency. When they place their hands in proximity to someone else who is in pain, their client’s body, like a similarly tuned circuit, will resonate and entrain to the practitioner’s hands. Love is the universal vibration that allows people to transfer healing energy from one to another.”1

Later in the FAQ section of his book, Richard Gordon explains who the “healer is.

“It is my belief that we are really not using up our own energy when we work on someone else, but rather, we are using the energy of the universe to hold this field of energy in their proximity.”1

Since writing this book, Richard Gordon has developed a new way to use QT, it is very powerful while physical contact is not required, but resonance and entrainment is still how the energy healing takes place. Years ago before hearing about QT, I learned Reconnective Healing which was developed by Dr. Eric Pearl. In his book, The Reconnection, be theorizes how healing takes place because he says he doesn’t know for sure.

“More likely, when these frequencies (the patient’s, yours and that of the Universe) interact, the waves may combine at such release points as to bring about a different frequency altogether. In other words, three frequencies may entrain to form yet a new one that wasn’t there in the original set—something that’s created out of the meeting—almost as if they sort their own enzymatic or catalytic event.”2

I think both are saying the same thing, I read both books and have attended 2 day seminars in both and to me they are similar.

I was curious about Reiki so I did some research and I didn’t see any reference to frequencies or resonance and entrainment, but it was explained that the practitioner was channeling the healing energy from a higher power using some kind of meditation.

I am sure there are dozens of other techniques that do hands on or distance energy healing and I would imagine the source of the energy is the Universe, God or The Divine, the energy goes through a practitioner in meditation or prayer and is transferred to the person who is healing. This type of energy healing can do many things, it adds energy to a body, it changes the characteristics of the energy and can clear energetic blocks. While it can be very powerful, it is best when used with other technique such as other clearing methods, alternative therapies and nutrition.

What Energy Healing is and How it Works

I would bet that many people don’t know what “Energy Healing” is and how it works. My education in energy healing began after being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). I had been seeing chiropractors and other alternative healing practitioners for many years, so I was pretty open to energy healing. The doctors had no treatments that would heal me, as ALS is deemed by traditional medicine to be incurable. However, I never accepted that the condition was “incurable” and I knew that I would find a way to heal. Over many years I tried many therapies, techniques and schools of thought.

I did a Google search for energy healing and energy medicine and I got all sorts of descriptions, most talked about one person sending healing energy to another either hands on or at a distance. I define Energy Healing more broadly; it is anything that adds energy, changes its characteristics or removes blocks to change the flow of energy which encourages healing.

One of the most important concepts in energy healing is the idea that everything is energy and has a vibrational frequency or resonates at a certain frequency. Things that have a high vibrational frequency are healing and things that have a low frequency are destructive. I discussed this in more detail in an earlier post. Thoughts P vs F

Another very important concept is entrainment. “Entrainment is the process whereby two connected oscillating systems, having similar periods, fall into synchrony.”1

Two examples of this are when women live in the same house and their menstrual cycles align or when the pendulums on clocks in the same room entrain to move in unison. So, when two energy bodies are in contact, their vibrational frequency will entrain to be the same. This is true for two people, a person and the earth or a person and food or water. Many types of energy healing work because of resonance and entrainment.

So, Energy Healing includes techniques that add healing energy, change the characteristic of energy or remove energetic blocks. I believe that energy healing techniques work under the premise that our bodies know how to heal themselves once they have the resources available. The techniques include hands on or distance healing, clearing or releasing negative feelings/emotions, alternative therapies and tools and even some supplements. My healing strategiy includes many different technique and my body is healing and I am getting stronger. I will be discussing each of these in more detail.

Energy Healing Techniques to Release Stress – The Release Technique

As I discussed in the Causes of Illness post, stress is a significant cause of illness. I have used many energy healing therapies and tools to clear stress and trauma, including The Healing Codes, EFT, Theta Healing, META-Medicine and The Release Technique 1. Knowing what I know now, I would have started with The Release Technique. The reason I like it so much is it clears stress and trauma and it trains you to change the energy of your thoughts which increases your personal vibrational frequency. When you are done with a releasing session, you feel lighter and more at peace like you have just meditated for a half hour. It combines the benefits of three of the four components of a healing strategy, Thoughts, Release and Spirit.

I have been doing the energy healing to clear/release negativite emotions for years and I have noticed improvement both physically and emotionally. Even though I continue to believe that I will heal completely and strive to maintain a positive attitude, because of the perceived reality of my physical limitations, I sometimes would feel frustrated, sad and lonely. So, I was clearing old emotions but I was adding new ones of lack and limitation as I was beating myself up and disapproving of myself. The Release Technique not only helps you release old negative emotions by doing exercises, but it also teaches you how to immediately release emotions as they come up. It teaches us that approval, love, control, safety and security comes from within. Depending on how much “stuff” you have it can be a time consuming process. Apparently, I did not learn how to release negative emotions I just buried them and kept myself so busy I didn’t hear my emotional pain. At the time of writing this, I have finished four courses and released daily. Emotionally I am so much lighter and happier than I have ever been in my life, but I still have more to release. I now have the training and skill to know how to release so I will continue to do it. It is not a quick fix, but I learned things I had not heard anywhere else. The courses have workbooks with lots of different exercises depending on the course subject. There are also telecourses and week long live courses.

It brings in the idea of The Law of Attraction when we realize that when we “Want” something, it means that we are lacking that thing. When we send that want/lack message we will attract more lack of that thing and that has a lower vibrational frequency. The Release Technique focuses on letting go of emotions attached to the lower vibration feelings and want or lack. We learned that real “Releasing” happens when you are in higher vibration feelings, so it trains you to stay in those high vibration feelings. The things that make your thoughts more or less powerful are the emotions behind them. So, removing emotions for lower vibration thoughts and adding emotions to higher vibrations thoughts is a win win.

One of the keystones to the Release Technique, is the six steps. The first step is “You must want imperturbability more than you want approval, control and security.” 1 Imperturbable is unable to be upset or excited, calm. This is brilliant because it takes the want or lack away from your goal. So, you release on all things that upset or excite you thereby changing the emotions, thoughts and vibration. Lester Levenson, who developed the method, released all his non-loving thoughts and healed himself from terminal illness. His focus was not on wanting to be healed, but once he released the non-loving feelings, all areas of his life healed.

As I said earlier, the Release Technique works on three of the four components of a healing strategy, thoughts, releasing and spirit. There are people who believe that increasing your vibrational frequency is one of the most important things in transformation and healing and the Release Technique helps dramatically. Your thoughts are very important in changing your personal vibration, but it’s only one factor. I also use other energy healing tools, music and meditations to increasing my frequency and I am starting to believe that raising your frequency is more, or at least, as important as clearing. When you have a high vibration, I believe negative feelings and emotions dissolve. See My Favorites tab for other tools to increase your frequency.

The Release Technique http://www.releasetechnique.com/. The Abundance Course is the first course to learn the method; they also have a weekly call and free support to help you.

Energy Healing Techniques to Release Stress – META-Medicine (Part 3)

I discovered META-Medicine when listening to the Living Energy Secrets teleseminar with Debra Thompson. For a while I was listening to many teleseminars, which is a useful way to learn information. I learned about EFT, META-Medicine, Theta Healing and Quantum Touch from teleseminars and these energy healing tools have made all the difference in my healing.

META-Medicine is NOT a therapy but a system that allows a trained practitioner to find the underlying emotional issues that may be contributing to a person’s disease, pain or illness. It works by finding a specific stressful event that might be the cause of certain diseases. A META-Medicine Practitioner works back from a medical diagnosis and through various means, they can determine what type of stressful event or trauma could have created the problem.

The META-Medicine practitioner, once they factor in the how long the problem has been around, is further able to narrow the search down to a specific event, such as a traumatic argument with a partner, the shock of losing a loved one unexpectedly or an attack, such as being mugged. Once this trauma has been identified, it can be cleared using any energy healing method, such as Quantum Touch, EFT, and NLP.

Once the traumatic events have been cleared, the person then works with their META-Medicine practitioner in an integrated way to complete their healing. This means addressing the physical symptoms with their Medical Doctor and working with other therapies to change their mind, body, spirit, socials and environmental aspects that could also be inhibiting them healing themselves.

The Practitioners and Health Coaches are skilled with META-Medicine as well as many different energy healing techniques that helps you release or clear your issues, so I recommend working with one. Once I learned what issues (event or trauma) I needed to clear, I used EFT and Theta Healing and they were helpful.

There are many energy healing techniques and energy healing therapies and I only mentioned a few. As I said before, releasing and clearing the events and energies that cause my body stress was the thing that had the most impact and allowed my body to heal. After learning and using all these techniques I have seen physical improvement and I am happier and more confident now than I have ever been, but I still had anger, frustration and wasn’t handling stress well at all. I learned about The Release Technique and began doing The Abundance Course. This course teaches you how to release stress and emotional blocks developed over your lifetime, but it also teaches you how to release every day, all day so you release it immediately. I will discuss my experience with The Release Technique in Part 4 of this series.

It is important to remember that a good healing strategy addresses all four components, in addition to releasing or clearing stress and trauma you need to think and feel thoughts that are in alignment with your goals, support your physical vitality and support your emotional vitality.

Energy Healing Techniques to Release Stress – EFT and Theta Healing (Part 2)

As I discussed in the Causes of Illness post, stress is a significant cause of illness. Some believe 75% – 90% of illnesses are because of stress, or, at the least, stress contributed to the illness. I want to continue the discussion on how to use energy healing to release/clear stress, trauma, blocks and limiting beliefs. I learned about EFT just before Theta Healing. I used both together, I used EFT by myself but I worked with a certified practitioner for Theta Healing. I will go into Meta Medicine and The Release Technique in Part 3 and 4 of the Releasing series.

I think EFT is a fabulous energy healing tool and easy to learn and use. You can use for anything, whenever you feel stress as an example, from public speaking, relationship or health issues you can tap them away. In Attracting Abundance with EFT by Carol Look, Carol describes how EFT works.

“The tapping on these designated points on the face and body is combined with verbalizing the identified problem (or target) followed by a general affirmation phrase. Combining these ingredients of the EFT technique balances the energy system and appears to relieve psychological stress and physiological pain. Restoring the balance of the energy system allows the body and mind to resume their natural healing abilities.”1

See the last sentence, once you balance your energy system when think about your problem you have released or cleared the issue and your body resumes its healing. Some find this cumbersome and intimidating because of all the set-up phrases. It is easy to learn, just keep at it, even if you don’t do it perfectly, it helps. There is a technique called Simple Energy Technique developed by Steve Wells which is really easy, see website below.2

Unlike EFT, Theta Healing is not easy to learn, so very difficult to do on your own. It requires intuitive (physic) ability, which can be developed, but that takes time and practice. There are many qualified practitioners which can be found through their directory, see below.3

“ThetaHealing® is a technique that focuses on thought and prayer. ThetaHealing® teaches how to put to use our natural intuition, relying upon unconditional love of Creator Of All That Is to do the actual “work”. We believe by changing your brain wave cycle to include the “Theta” state, you can actually watch the Creator Of All That Is create instantaneous physical and emotional healing.”3

I felt relief from stress in general and related to specific events or issues from all these techniques. There were certain events that when I thought about them my heart would race or I would get a sinking feeling in my stomach (STRESS). After using these energy healing techniques, I can think about the issue I remember the event but the stress was gone. The emotion behind the event is gone, the trapped feelings/emotions have been cleared or released.

Both EFT and Theta Healing, as well as any energy healing technique, can be done remotely, so telephone or Skype work well. There are so many energy healing therapies that work to release the stress/trauma or energetic blocks so your body heals itself. I will discuss Meta Medicine, and The Release Technique in my next posts. As I have said, I believe that this component of my healing strategy had the most impact to my healing, but you need to pick the one that’s best for you.

Energy Healing Techniques to Release Stress – The Healing Codes (Part 1)

As I discussed in my post on Causes of illness, stress is a significant cause of illness. Some believe 75% – 90% of illnesses are because of stress, or at the least, stress contributed to the illness. I want the discuss how to use energy healing to release/clear stress, trauma, blocks and limiting beliefs. If I had to pick one component of my healing strategy that had the most impact to my healing it would be this one. Many energy healing therapies work because once you clear the stress/trauma or energetic blocks your body knows how to heal itself. This is assuming that your body has the physical and emotional vitality (resources), of course. There are so many different types of energy healing therapies and I am not familiar with all of them, so I will only mention the ones that I have used, in the order that I became aware of them. The Healing Codes, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) aka Tapping, Theta Healing, Meta Healing Process, Quantum Touch’s Self Created Health and The Release Technique are all techniques that I have used. Meta Medicine is tool that helps identify the type and content of the trauma that caused the stress.

I came across a book called The Heading Code by Alex Loyd and Dr. Ben Johnson.1 The reason it caught my attention was one of the authors Dr. Ben Johnson was diagnosed with ALS and was able to heal himself using the healing codes in a matter of weeks. I was so excited and thought that I had found the “cure”. I dove in, I bought the book, bought The Healing Codes program and signed up for a group program with Dr. Loyd. This was quite a discovery for me and opened up the idea that stress and trauma cause physical stress on your body that prevents your body from functioning properly and therefore, creates illness and disease.

I used The Healing Code products for about nine months. I learned a lot about energy healing, causes of illness, how to clear limiting beliefs and about myself. I did notice significant increase in my level of happiness and self-esteem, some physical improvement in my ability to walk and speak, and I completely healed a terrible stomach problem. I also like the Heart Issue Finder which is a tool that helps you identify which issues to work on. As you do the codes on an issue, it will clear and then you use it again and it tells you what to work on next, it’s a nice tool.

I am sure that I could have made even more progress if I have continued using the healing codes process, but I heard about Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) aka Tapping and Theta Healing and decided to try some new ways to clear my issues.

There are so many energy healing therapies that work to release the stress/trauma or energetic blocks so your body heals itself. I will discuss EFT, Theta Healing, Meta Medicine, Quantum Touch and The Release Technique. I believe that this component of my healing strategy had the most impact to my healing, but you need to pick the one that’s best for you.

Causes of Illness: Energy Healing Strategies

The second component of any healing strategies is releasing stress and trauma. Many energy healing techniques work because they release or clear stress or a traumatic event and then the body heals itself. Before I discuss how to identify and clear the stress, I want to discuss how I have come to believe that stress and trauma could cause disease or inhibit healing. I believe there are other causes besides stress and trauma, but right now I want to discuss only those two.

The first time I heard that over 75% – 90% of all illness and disease was caused by stress was from The Healing Code book written by Dr. Alex Loyd and Dr. Ben Johnson. 1 In this book, Dr. Loyd discussed the work of Dr. Bruce Lipton and Dr. Lipton’s book The Biology of Belief.

In the Biology of Belief, Dr. Lipton has an entire chapter of the growth and protection functions of an organism. The growth function not only refers to growing from children to adult, but also in the repair and maintenance of our bodies. The protection mode is triggered when we feel stressed or have a traumatic event, both can create a fight or flight response. He explains the interaction between the two as follows:

“… humans unavoidably restrict their growth behaviors when they shift into a protection mode. If you’re running from a mountain lion, it’s not a good idea to expend energy on growth. In order to survive—that is, escape the lion—you summon all your energy for your fight or flight response.“

“Inhibiting growth process is also debilitating in that growth is a process that not only expends energy but is also required to produce energy. Consequently, a sustained protection response inhibits the creation of life-sustaining energy.” 2

So, a cell or a human cannot be stressed and healing itself at the same time. If you are in a state of continual stress then not only are your cells not healing, but they are not maintaining themselves, eliminating waste or duplicating. The cells, the tissue and ultimately your body does not have the vitality it needs, it becomes weak and disease thrives.

Obviously, most of us are not encountering mountain lions in our lives, but Dr. Lipton explains that emotional stress creates the same biological response in our bodies. The difference is that this emotional stress is continuous.

“We are constantly besieged by multitudes of unresolvable worries about our lives, our jobs and war-torn global community. Such worries do not threaten our immediate survival, but they nevertheless can activate the HPA axis, resulting in chronically elevated stress hormones.” 2

“Almost every major illness that people acquire has been linked to chronic stress. (Sergerstrom and Miller 2004; Kopp and Rethelyi 2004; McEwen and Lasky 2002; McEwen and Seeman 1999) Between 75 and 90 percent of primary-care physician visit have stress as a major contributing factor. (Atkinson 2000) 2

I know that stress and several traumatic events either caused or greatly contributed to the physical condition of my body. In it important to note, that what a person finds stressful depends on many things including their family lives and culture. In the years following my diagnosis, because of the increase in physical limitations, personal problems and resulting stress, I developed other types of illnesses. As the stress increased so did the severity of the symptoms and number of other ailments. It was not until I started releasing the emotions of the stress and traumas did things start to turn around and my body began to heal. But by then, I had added layers upon layers of stress and ailments. I am sure that if I started releasing when I was diagnosed, then I would not have gotten as weak as I did. Hopefully now that energy healing is more publicized and common people will be able to aid in their own healing and even prevent illness.

When we learn how to release the stress and trauma affecting our bodies, we allow our bodies to return to the growth process so we can either heal or prevent illness. There are many methods that release or clear stress and trauma trapped in your body. Also, there are energy healing techniques that can be used to manage stress and they will be discussed later.
