Energy Medicine - Introduction

Energy medicine is based on the view that illness results from disturbances and imbalances in energy fields of the body. Energy and vibrational treatments are all believed to act by correcting those imbalances using specific frequencies from electromagnetic forces, including visible light and colours, sound, magnetism, flower essences, aromatherapy, homeopathy, acupuncture, hands-on healing, crystals, an so on.

With conventional medical care the desired change in the body is created either through biochemical manipulation (through drugs) or physical manipulation (such as surgery). With energy-based therapies, healing is achieved by working with related energy fields that form, and are emitted by, physical matter.

Vibrational healing and energy medicine are nothing new - they have been successfully practiced in numerous forms all over the world for thousands of years. For example, more than 2,000 years ago, Asian practitioners postulated that the flow and balance of life energies are necessary for maintaining health and described tools to restore them, and ancient Indian texts accurately describe the human energy system. The practice of acupuncture in China and is said to stem from as far back as the Stone Age, with clear evidence existing from the 1st millennium BCE. Recent examinations of Ötzi, a 5,000-year-old mummy found in the Alps, have identified over 50 tattoos on his body, some of which are located on acupuncture points that would today be used to treat ailments Ötzi suffered from. Some scientists believe that this is evidence that practices similar to acupuncture were practiced elsewhere in Eurasia during the early Bronze Age. Dorfer et al hypothesised in their article published in The Lancet journal that there might have been a medical system similar to acupuncture that was practiced in Central Europe 5,200 years ago.

Sound therapies

The field of sound therapy encompasses many different sound-based therapies, such as Auditory Integration Training (AIT), The Tomatis Method, BioAcoustics/Vocal Profiling, The Listening Program and others. Sound-based therapy uses sound vibration to impact the body with special equipment, programs, modified music, and/or specific tones or beats. The origins of sound therapy come from the work of Dr. Alfred Tomatis. The concepts are based on the connection between the voice, the ear, and the brain. Sound moves in waves and its vibration impacts the entire body, which represents many thousands of frequencies. Every cell is a sound resonator and responds to sounds outside of the body.   Read More

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing developed over thousands of years as part of the traditional medicine of China. In 1997, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA recognized the legal status of acupuncture as a treatment technique, and since that time several other countries including Canada, the United Kingdom and several in Europe, have also done so. Research studies have now proven the benefits of acupuncture in treating pain and disorders of the brain.   Read More

Light therapies

From the beginning of time, the Egyptians, Greeks, Aztecs and Mayans worshipped the sun, believing in the curative powers of light energy. Today light therapies are employed to treat a variety of ailments, from chronic wounds and scar healing to pain reduction and various musculoskeletal and neural conditions. The light sources available today can, when applied at the right parameters, change biochemical reactions in the body. Light emitted from low-level lasers (LLLT) and light emitting diodes (LED) accelerate healing through collagen synthesis, reduction of inflammation and improved blood flow. It also reduces pain through endorphin release and desensitation of nerve cells. Once it reaches the target tissue, the light is absorbed by either cell membranes or by mitochondria (small energy producing organs inside cells), which then leads to stabilisation of membrane polarity and increased production of ATP cellular energy. This new energy - new fuel for the cells, enables cells to carry out the repair and regenerative functions, including nerve regeneration and regrowth!   Read More

BodyTalk

The BodyTalk System was developed in the 1990s by Australian acupuncturist and chiropractor Dr John Veltheim. His extensive studies of the different healing systems and philosophies of the world led him to create BodyTalk, taking the most fundamental principles from each and using them to create a holistic system to treat a wide range of conditions. The BodyTalk uses biofeedback to communicate with the body and discover its healing needs and priorities.   Read More
