Energy Healing and Energy Medicine Articles

It’s easy in our busyness to take things for granted yet if we have cultivated the attitude of gratitude we will remember to give thanks for the many blessings that we have which will allow for more abundance to flow into our lives. What is gratitude? Gratitude is “the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful.” It comes from the Latin word gratia meaning favour, pleasing. Gratefulness broken down can read Great Fullness. Gratitude is a choice. It doesn’t come easily to us.

You know, everybody has an "Inner Ooga Booga". "Huh? What does that mean?", I hear you say. As highly evolved as man has become, we still carry within us the programming of the Primitive Man, the kind of mentality we crawled around the caves with (insert chest thumping and Wookie sounds here). What is the Primitive Mind? Many parts of our limbic system, (which controls our hormones, appetite, sexual drives emotional responses and a whole lot more) operate from very ancient parts of the brain.

This week I thought I would write about something dear to my heart, and core to the way I work with people recovering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - inner child healing.

Atkins Nutritionals filed for bankruptcy at the beginning of August 2005 in light of a decline in the diet’s popularity and profits. Atkins low carbohydrate craze focused on eliminating grains, fruits and vegetables to shed weight, and embraced high-protein diets rich in meat and cheese. As ...

As a nutrition therapist, counselor, and healer, I understand that the path to creating a life of greater joy is a mysterious event. Each individual person has the power and control over his or her own healing. No matter how many times you fall, get back up, and then fall again, the most ...

“No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.” Edmund Burke, 1756

I have been offering Chronic Fatigue Discovery sessions for the last six months or so, and can see very clearly how people are benefiting from them. So I thought I would write a little bit more about the benefits to you of a discovery session. So, first things first: why have I chosen the title "discovery" session? Well, one of the things people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome often say to me is that, even if they have supportive people around them (and I know a lot of people don't even have that), those people, however well meaning, don't really understand what they're going through.

I understand that one path of enlightenment is devotion, and I have certainly experienced the exquisite beauty of that path. I’m not saying that it is wrong for someone to be devoted to his or her teacher. But at this stage of my life, devotion or worshiping another person seems to also invite disempowerment. This can be true for any powerful influence in our lives—teachers, mentors, coaches, healers, therapists, even bosses and spouses. We give over power in so many ways and, conversely, we refuse to surrender when that is the path to peace.

Making use of our innate powers to heal will be a major contributing method in the future practice of medicine in the United States of America. It is becoming more and more apparent to health professionals that it is more than the physical environment that affects the health of human beings. We are body mind spirit beings, and certain natural qualities of mind play a most important role in creating sickness, healing, and health.

A Gem of a Healing Testimonial nnThe Lifeline Technique, in combination with Steven's various types of acupressure and energy work has been an amazing gift in my life. His healing work has helped me get through some of the most emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally exhausting times I've ever faced. In particular he has helped me work through, heal and release, many limiting barriers, past trauma, and injuries. Recently, I pulled my right quadricept (thigh) muscle

Yet again, it is my clients who have prompted me with what to write about this week. Just today, I have had 2 conversations with clients about mindfulness. One person was going out this evening to a talk on mindfulness, and another was talking about her mindfulness meditation practice, and how it is helping her deal with her condition of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

There is a big shift happening on this planet, a shift in consciousness, a shift in possibility, for individuals and the whole. The Self Connection - Shelley Hawkins - The Voice of the Soul. We are moving from the information age to the intuition age where our connection with ourselves is as vital as ever. And everywhere I turn, with friends, with clients, in my own life, I hear a similar story–big changes–the kind of changes that lead to questions of the soul from wherever that person is at the moment–a new way of doing life.

Any time of year is a good time to make healthy lifestyle changes, but the beginning of a new year is a time when most of us are filled with hope and enthusiasm to make the coming year even better than the previous one. Each January is a great time to set new intentions because it offers an easy-to-identify, traditional time to re-think and re-energize our goals.

There is a widespread information campaign across the world regarding the adverse effects of environmental worsening and global waring. Besides there is growing awareness about the limitedness of the available energy resources necessitating the search for the alternative forms of energy . Solar energy has emerged as most important mode of energy option to its easy availability and clean nature. By solar panels the enormous amount of sunlight available for long period in ayer

Last evening, during a class that I was participating in, "Laura" complained that she was having a hard time thinking because she had a migraine headache. nnShe described the pain as being behind her right eye, and up the side of her neck. I asked if she had any idea what caused it. She said that she had missed her hair appointment, and she didn't like that. She also said she didn't like it that she had a migraine. I asked what the intensity of the pain was, and her intensity

Dreaming is a state of awareness that is mainly right brain. In a dream, we know that things are magical and spontaneous and don’t seem to follow the logic of cause and effect or the natural laws of three-dimension reality, such as gravity, speed, and force. Dreams can be representative of the instant manifestation qualities of right brain function. To dream is to manifest and create in a different dimension. Think it and it has the potential to appear.

What do Albert Schweitzer and Paris Hilton have in common? I'll tell you, but before I do consider this… DNA studies suggest that all humans today descended from the same small tribe. In fact, our family trees are so intermingled that actress Sigou ey Weaver is related to computer whiz Bill Gates, the great writer Ernest Hemingway is a distance cousin to Glenn Close and Brad Pitt can call President Jimmy Carter his kin. This is the wonder of proxy groups. They work because we all have the same ancestors who have passed on to us the same patterns!

I am asked a lot about connecting with Spirit Guides, so I thought I’d write an article about my own suggestions and experience of connecting with spirit guides.

I thought this week I would write about the power of cleansing, and my own experience of a juice cleanse from a few years ago, when I was in the midst of recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I wasn't at all looking forward to my week long herbs and juice cleanse -hoping for good results but fearing the actual process! I had a belief that cleansing would be hard - and actually, that was my experience up until this time!

Perhaps you are facing a health crisis right now. You've been told, or even simply suspect, that you have a serious illness. You've developed a chronic pain problem. Or something just doesn't seem quite "right." Maybe instead it's a close friend or family member. Or possibly you've just dodged ...

All of us suffer from some distortions and blocks in our energy system. The Auric body or aura is where many of these blocks can be seen and experienced. Energy sciences today believe the aura consist of seven layers, which correlate to physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects in each person. The size, colors, clarity, and brilliance of the layers in the aura provide information related to our health and balances in life. Within the Aura, seven energy centers known

Are We “Merely Players”? All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts…. William Shakespeare, As You Like It

Sitting and enjoying a silent meditation opens your mind and your body to the energies surrounding you. On a cool morning, sitting on the pier at the water’s edge, you reflect on the wind gently blowing around you. This causes a series of events – impacting other energies surrounding you, possibly even you. Is this a disruption of energy or just the ebbs and flows of the universe? As gentle as it may be, it still has an impact. As with everything in life, there is a cause

Have you ever watched a movie or television program that stirred up negative emotions within you? Here's a way that you can live a more blissful life and heal your negative emotions and beliefs while watching television.nnYou can use energy therapies such as Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT to tap out your negative feelings while watching the news, a movie or your favorite sitcom. EFT is a meridian based therapy that involves tapping on various points on the face and body

Passion stands for the intensity of energy that the mind works with. Since very early childhood, moral values are kept impinging on the psyche by the culture. It does so by continually going on hammering them until they permanently get nailed inside the mind and make it what it morally stands for. They suppress the n

All You Need is Love...! Love is a simple four-letter word used to describe a range of hundreds of emotions. Instead of having hundreds of words to describe hundreds of emotions, the English language tries to capture these feelings in one word. No wonder it is so confusing.

Failure is one of those life experiences most of us would rather avoid. When we fail, we tend to connect the experience with intense self-judgement and inner criticism. The fear of failure is so strong, we often become hesitant to focus on moving forward with our dreams. We would rather not try ...

Learning about shamanic healing practices and soul retrieval became imperative for me. I contacted Sandra Ingerman, the author of Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self, through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. I strongly felt that I needed to have a soul retrieval and the information about jou eying stimulated wisdom that already resided in my soul. I remembered lifetimes of being a healer and my knowledge from previous lifetimes became available to me again.

It's often the case that my dance teachers say things like "the body loves to move" or "make your body happy - move in the way it wants to move." And, for me now that resonates as truth. I know from my experience with energy healing and recovery from illness that emotions are held in the energy field, and can affect the physical body. Moving the body as it wants to move can literally facilitate release of stuck emotions and lead to healing.

In Saint Exupery’s The Little Prince, he states, "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye." The heart is not just a physical organ, it is an energy center, a place of consciousness, a space of expanded awareness of the existence of ...

In the last week, I have worked a lot with clients using the Emotional Freedom technique (EFT) - and in a number of different ways - to manage the physical symptoms of ME, beliefs around health and illness as well as a way of just feeling more calm and more happy. I am also using it myself a lot at the moment.

Are you living a happy and satisfied life? If your answer is a solid no, have no fear. Even if you are overly stressed, depressed, suffering low self-esteem, or stuck in a cycle of overeating or other addictive process, you can turn things around. One way to make your happy and satisfied life ...

We all have heard the term “inner child”. Who is our inner child and why is he/she important? We’re all adults now. Why do we need to bother with our inner children? Our Inner Child contains all of our feelings, memories and experiences from childhood. In order to be whole and integrated, we need to connect and work together with our inner children. Many of our inner children have been wounded and feel alone and empty. Many of them have separated from us because of thei

Life is a journey of becoming. The goal of the journey is not in its destination; rather, it is the understanding that emerges from the journey. It is through the journey that wisdom is gained. Those who are interested in experiencing wisdom must change; they must seek healing. They must look at what they believe and examine why they believe it.

Do you love yourself? Or, would it be closer to the truth to say that you are your own worst enemy? Self-love means to regard yourself with respect, to recognize and value yourself, and to appreciate your life. Self-love is the process of breaking free of the need to gain others approval and ...

Have you heard the phrase, "we are one"? It is a concept, ideal, slogan, and mindset that many give lip service to --- self included, although I have only begun to scratch the surface of its meaning. I have been sitting with this ideal for years, watching how it affects me and when I am in alignment with it and when I am not. I could write a book on this topic alone. However, where I am taking this today is regarding the vibration of resistance versus the vibration of unity consciousness.

SLEEPLESSNESS is becoming epidemic. It is now considered to be a prime factor in road rage, confusion, aging prematurely (or looking like it!) and general malaise. Theories abound, but when tucking in at the same time every night - or waiting until you are practically exhausted before going to ...

During the course of our lives we experience many transitions. Some of these beginnings and endings are sudden and unexpected, such as an accident, divorce, illness, death, or the loss of a job. Other transitions are a self-imposed process of transformation such as weight loss, marriage, birth ...

The spirits say to always bring your dreams to a good end. I first learned this in a shamanic dream class. We wore dream robes at night that were imbued with our own shamanic dream symbols. Going to bed was a ritual in itself, with pure intent to dream and heal in the dreaming process. This workshop was several years ago and my own spiritual allies have expanded on this teaching that I would like to share with you.

In the Pellowah manual, Kachina mentioned that you will be drawn to Pellowah. Pellowah is a healing session that you may study if you are at a crossroad, or find yourself a physical or emotional crisis.rnI believe I experienced this when I arrived in Australia. I felt as though I was on the edge of life. I was no longer enjoying things and just lived for my children. Yes, there were signs of anxiety and depression, but it also felt like a calling to find my purpose and achiev

Meditation is like learning a musical instrument - you're not going to play Mozart your first time sitting down at the piano. It takes practice and commitment to reap the benefits of this ancient discipline. This means you'll need to make time for it every day. To get the most from meditation you need to do it every day at a time and in a place where you're free from distractions. • Use a quite, serene area of your home in which to meditate. If you like, burn a candle or some incense.

It’s likely the most consistently sought after ‘thing’ by practitioners of every modality of energy therapy. It would be difficult (impossible in my own practice) to make significant headway in any session without primary attendance to it. It, of course, is your feelings. There’s an expression from a personal growth speaker (wish I could remember which one?), that pretty much crystallizes that understanding . . .
