What is Energy Medicine?
Many people turn to Energy Medicine as an alternative health option. When standard medicine failed to heal them, they reached out looking for natural medicine, and often they discover the beneficial affects of our own healing energy.

Energy Medicine as we know it today comes in many forms. These methods can be traced back 1000’s of years when all that was known about healing the body was discovered through observation of the living body and its energy field. Some of the most common forms of energy medicine are Reiki, Qigong, and Eden Energy Medicine. My knowledge comes from my training through the Eden Energy Medicine program, although all forms are rooted in the same basic principles.

Basics of The Energetic Body
Every living thing is surrounded by an energetic field known as the aura. Think of the Earth and it’s electro-magnetic field – it’s what causes the Aurora Borealis (or the Northern Lights). When solar energy hits the Earth’s electromagnetic field (or it’s aura) the night sky lights up and we can see the energy turn into visible color. The north and south poles are energetic hot spots that cause the compass to always point in their direction. Humans are just a small tiny fraction of the size of the earth and so is the strength of our electro-magnetic field and our north pole and south pole. There are also many more subtle energy pathways and systems that run through our body and effect our mood, and our overall wellbeing. Einstein said that all matter is energy. When we break it down to it’s smallest particles, we see that matter is just really densely packed energy. If we think of our body in this way, it’s easier to make sense of how energy medicine works.

How do our hands have an effect on our energetic body?
Have you ever gone to a science center and put your hands on those electricity balls? What happens? Your hands attract the energy and as you move your hands the energy, or electric charge follows them. Your hands have much the same effect on your energetic body. As you hold your fingers or hands near the energy field of your body, it draws the energy to your hands and promotes movement which then makes room for fresh energy to enter. Just like how your blood needs to flow through your veins, so does energy need to flow through it’s proper channels. If your blood gets a clot, it backs up and is bad for your health, energy is no different, when it gets blocked, it means the new energy has nowhere to go and your health can be compromised.

The aura on the outside of your body is the most well known of the energy systems. There are however even more subtle energies running through your body along various paths and patterns. The meridians, chakras and other energy systems were first identified over 5000 years ago, these same pathways are still used in Chinese and other alternative medicine today, the most well know being acupuncture. Instead of using needles to activate points along the meridian lines, energy medicine uses the electro-magnetic energies in your hand to activate the energy points and return the energy to it’s natural flow.

Why can’t I see energy?
On the electromagnetic spectrum there is a tiny sliver of what we know as visible light. The rest of the spectrum is made up of various frequencies and wavelengths made of the same kind of vibrations, but invisible to the eye. Radio waves, ultra-violet, infra-red, microwaves are all part of the same family, the energy that runs through and around our bodies are also on that spectrum, but at a very low frequency. Even though we can’t see it, and often can’t feel it, the energy waves are there pulsing through our bodies just like the radio waves and infra-red light can’t be detected by the human eye.*

*A note on seeing and feeling energy – many people can see and/or feel to low frequency of energy that our bodies emit. To some, it is something they have done all their life without even realizing they do it. For others, it is something they have worked on by tuning in with practice and awareness. There are techniques to help you learn to see energy. Brief intro into learning to see your aura.
