What Energy Healing is and How it Works

energyI 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.

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

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 discussed the energy healing therapies EFT and Theta Healing in Part 2.  I will go into META-Medicine now.

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 – 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.
