The Energy Medicine paradigm is based on understanding the dynamics of life energy in relation to health and well-being. The fundamental principle of Energy Medicine is that an underlying energy field generates physical, emotional, and mental behaviors or symptoms. If we change the energy field, the physical, emotional, and mental behaviors will also change.

To understand what an energy field is we must first clarify the concept of wholes. The branch of modern science dedicated to understanding wholes is called General Systems. Within the general systems paradigm there are wholes and greater wholes that …

The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) controls bodily functions not under our conscious control such as the beating of our hearts and the fluctuation of hormones. It is divided into two systems, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic.

The Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) can be seen as the Yang or active energy. In a threatening situation, the sympathetic nervous system triggers the release of the hormones adrenaline and cortisol. Our heart rate increases, our brain becomes instantly conscious and aware and our digestion diverts blood to its large muscles. This is our “fight or flight” response.

Color healing, light therapy and chromotherapy are all terms used interchangeably with Color Therapy.

Color Therapy is a set of principles used to create harmonious color and color combinations for healing.

This form of energy medicine is based on the belief that the human body is composed of energy fields.

When the energy is properly distributed and circulating freely, the body is healthy. Imbalances or abnormal amounts of energy are believed to indicate an excess or deficiency.

Color is energy. The energy vibration of that color is what you need, in the moment, in order to improve and balance …

Let’s talk about the holistic therapy of homeopathy. Unlike with herbal medicine or aromatherapy essential oils, proponents of homeopathy assert that it’s the ‘vibrations’ that are left after a homeopathic remedy is ‘concussed’ that help the body to heal.

Huh?

Here’s a brief snippet on what homeopathy is from our article, What is Homeopathy?:

Homeopathy is an alternative system of medicine that was founded in the early 19th century by a German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.  Classical homeopathy rests on three principles: the law of similars, the single medicine, and the minimum dose. The law …

Many of the homeopathic remedies are so diluted that according to the known laws of physics and chemistry, they couldn’t possibly have any effect. Once you get beyond a certain point-24x or 12c -there is probably not even one single molecule of the original active substance remaining. This fact is often pointed to by critics of homeopathy as they dismiss the effect of homeopathy as merely due to placebo effect.

And yet, according to homeopathic doctrine and experience, the more diluted the solution, the more potent it is. Homeopaths contend that the remedies work and they …

You may take antibiotics to combat infections, dose yourself with aspirin to reduce pain, or put a cast on a broken wrist. But these medical procedures do not “heal” you. They reduce inflammation, battle bacteria, or make proper healing easier. It is your body that heals itself. Through some process that we don’t fully understand, your body has the amazing, innate ability to repair itself.

Medical science can explain the neurological and biochemical responses involved in healing: nerve messages to the brain, white blood cells to combat infection, platelets to clot the blood, formation of a …

When we experience any kind of inflammation, it’s our body’s way of letting us know we are hurt. Inflammation is the body’s innate way of protecting itself from infection and foreign substances. Everyone has experienced inflammation at one time or another. It is a normal function of our body’s immune system and the first response to an injury.

Inflammation is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, pain and loss of function. When we cut, scratch or bruise ourselves, for example, chemicals in the white blood cells are released, increasing blood flow to the affected area. This can …

Many experiences we have when listening to the music and the sound of tuning forks are similar to experiences described by those taking opiates and psychedelics. Recent research suggests that tuning forks and listening to different music can stimulate our body’s ability to produce opiate, cannaboid, and psychedelic molecules.

These molecules are somewhat different then those ingested in plant form and have a far more powerful action in our bodies. It is important we understand them within an energy medicine paradigm and how these molecules can enhance our healing …
