Over the past years, several studies have been conducted by various renowned institutions to discover how energy medicine can help myriad health disorders and diseases.
The human body is a conductor of energy. An electrical network made of energy is present within and around the human body. This energy flows through the body. When there is a disturbance in this flow of energy, then the body can develop illness. Various factors impact your electrical system, including the food you eat, the emotions you experience, and more. The energy flow when you are healthy is different than the energy flow when you are ill.
Thus, analyzing and correcting the disturbances in your energy flow through energy medicine could be a key factor in restoring good health.
Energy medicine is a multidisciplinary area of scientific study. It focuses on understanding energy transfer through cells, tissues, and living organisms. The way your body regulates energy flow and transfer has a significant effect on your well-being. The process also converts food into energy, directly related to health.
The body relies on thyroid, testosterone, progesterone, melatonin, and DHEA hormones to function. Nutrition plays an important role in creating and activating these hormones to ensure the body can do its job.
Besides balanced nutrition, the mind-body balance is essential to ensure good health. Energy medicine depends on the idea that there is an important connection between the body and mind, and it uses research to help explain how the body-mind approach works.
Detoxification is also an important aspect of caring for your energetic field. With time, the gradual accumulation of toxins interrupts healthy body functions. Hence it is vital to detoxify your body and mind to regain good health.
Five areas are especially important for restoring good health:
In addition to the above techniques, awareness of your conscious and subconscious beliefs is key to accelerating the healing process. Much of the body’s processes work on a subconscious level. Believing that you can be disease-free creates an energy field within your body that dramatically helps restore good health.
According to some energy therapies, correcting the energy field and believing in the correction are both equally important. This is because when your subconscious and conscious believe in the process, it creates an energy field that allows the body to respond readily to care. The body's energy flow is balanced, alleviating illness in the process. This corrects the body’s energy field.
Energy medicine is known to have both a long history and a basis in quantum physics.
Ancient people were very familiar with energy. According to Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, a 1937 Nobel Prize winner, “In every culture and every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.” Energy healing techniques have been in practice since ancient times. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Chinese were known to use energy techniques for healing, such as using magnetite to relieve disease by increasing blood flow. The Bible and other holy texts also describe healing illness by laying on hands.
Reiki is, in fact, a modern version of this ancient healing touch, now practiced in several nursing institutions and hospitals. One study on the effects of therapeutic touch found that people who were given noncontact therapeutic touch had a significant decrease in anxiety over those who received the mimic control intervention.
In the 20th century, Dr. Harold Saxton Burr from the University of Yale documented what he called the energy field of life or L-Field. He studied the nervous system to document the various energy fields of the body, animals, and trees and used various instruments to measure the electrical field emitted. His studies are documented in the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine.
More recent research confirms that every event that occurs in the body, whether normal or pathophysiologic, changes the electrical and magnetic field. There is scientific evidence that supports this. For example, in 1939, Burr discovered that ovulation could be detected by measuring the electric field between fingers daily. Around 1975, a machine was invented that could measure these electric fields and document ovulation.
In another study, scientists discovered that conductance at the acupuncture points reflects disease. Those with liver disease showed an 18 times increase in conductance at the knee point. According to research 1996 by Barbara Brewitt, lung disease reflected a 30% lower conduction rate at the lung point. Another study on cancer in 1986 showed a 6-to-7 times higher conductance at points associated with the illness. Researcher Dr. James Oschman commented, “Bio-energy fields have gone from nonsense and quackery to an important field in biomedical research.”
Energy flows through the body's cells, but the center of this electromagnetic field is in your heart. Magnetometers were used to determine the electromagnetic fields emitted by the organs in the body, and the heart was responsible for emitting the largest magnetic field, over 100 times stronger than the field emitted by the brain. ECG and EEG readings found that the heart also emitted the strongest electrical field, 60 times stronger than the brain’s.
There is also evidence that signals originating from the heart are transmitted to the brain. One study found an ECG and EEG synchronization between mother and baby. Though the mother and baby were not in physical contact, researchers detected that when the mother focused on the baby, the mother’s brain waves synchronized with the baby’s heartbeat.
It appears the energy field of the heart extends up to 15 feet from the body in every direction and transmits signals to each cell of the body, affecting mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
The energy field from the heart is transmitted to the entire body through the extracellular matrix. This is the body's largest system, and it is the only one that touches all other systems. Also known as the tissue integrity matrix, it is a continuous fibrous network extending to each part of your body. This living matrix is composed of collagen/ground substance.
However, much of the matrix is made of water and electrons. 80% of the human body is composed of water. This makes water the major mode of communication in the body. Hence, water transmits signals faster through the body than the blood vessels or the nervous system.
Studies confirm that when water is exposed to different vibrations and frequencies, the water structure changes. This alteration in water structure is believed to affect cellular communication in the body. Researcher Masaru Emoto studied and photographed ways in which the structure of water changed when it was exposed to various energies and emotions. His research supports the idea that water is one of the main vehicles used by the body's energy field to transmit information.
The electromagnetic field of the heart produces the strongest magnetic and electrical field. The heart generates major energy impulses. This energy is transmitted to the body through blood vessels, nerves, and the tissue matrix.
There are various ways to detect and measure the heart field. These include:
Heart rate variability is a measure of how regular the heartbeat is. For example, it is possible to have a different interval of time between each beat. This would be an incoherent rhythm. Worry, irritation, anxiety, and frustration can cause incoherence in the heart’s rhythm, which impedes performance. Too much heart variability consumes the body’s reserves of nutrients and hormones.
On the other hand, care, appreciation, love, and positive emotions cause a greater coherence in the heart rate variability leading to optimal performance. This form of variability can also be achieved through adrenal breathing and yoga. According to research by the Heart Mapping Institute, coherent heart rate variability can be achieved within 3 to 5 minutes by experiencing oneself in a virtual reality of happiness, joy, and great love. There are numerous benefits of coherent heart rate variability, which include the following:
When the heart field develops problems, the body's electrical system becomes imbalanced, ultimately affecting health. Factors that affect the heart field include other electromagnetic fields, substances with electromagnetic qualities, and the earth's electromagnetic field.
The body’s electromagnetic field needs to be corrected through emotions to correct heart field imbalances.
The various factors that affect the heart field are:
Positive emotions, as discussed in connection with heart rate variability above, are powerful tools for making the heart more coherent and, in turn, making the body more healthy. Human connectivity has also been shown to affect the human body's energy field greatly.
Since water is the major communication mode for transmitting energy throughout the body, water structure plays a crucial role in balancing the electromagnetic field. The signature frequency of the water varies based on its source, thus changing the overall water structure. The degree of electrical resistivity of water also plays a role. The purer the water, the higher the resistivity.
Every day, we are exposed to electromagnetic radiation from various devices, from your cell phone to the dishwasher and microwave oven. Exposure to radiation is growing with time and poses a serious health threat in today’s world. The American Academy Of Pediatrics (AAP) issued specific recommendations to reduce children's exposure to wireless devices and cell phones. A study conducted by the U.S. National Toxicology program revealed that exposure to wireless radiation significantly increased the chances of brain cancers in rodents.
The body’s energy field can be corrected by the below energy healing methods:
The energy field that runs through your body is in its best state when connected to the earth’s natural magnetic field. Being in tune with the earth's natural magnetic field, the sun, and the trees is healing.
One study revealed several health benefits of reconnecting the body with the electrons of the earth’s surface through earthing or grounding. These benefits include reduced pain, better sleep, more balanced cortisol, and reduced stress. Earthing also reduced blood viscosity and the clumping of cells within two hours of grounding, cutting the risk of cardiovascular disease. Walking around barefoot, connecting with the earth’s energy, is known to have a remarkable effect on normalizing the body’s energy field.
Another study found that grounding can reduce inflammation and accelerate healing. During the experiment, an 84-year-old diabetic woman with an open wound that hadn’t healed in 8 months was subjected to 30 minutes of grounding daily. Her wound began healing during the first week of grounding, and the pain greatly diminished by the end of the two-week grounding session.
Grounding also helps speed recovery for athletes. For example, one cyclist injured during the Tour De France competition placed grounding patches above and below the injury area. The injury improved within two days, greatly reducing swelling and pain and allowing the athlete to return to the competition.
Grounding helps reduce oxidative stress on the body, which is caused by an excess of molecules known as reactive oxygen species. Reactive oxygen species contain an unpaired electron, causing them to be highly reactive. They are also known as reactive metabolites. Too many molecules can trigger inflammation, liver congestion, extracellular matrix pollution, and adrenal crashes. On the other hand, the earth is a great source of free electrons. The reactive oxygen molecules can receive a paired electron from the earth through grounding, thus minimizing reactivity and inflammation.
Evidence shows that a regular heart rate, or coherent heart rate variability, can help conserve the body’s resources and help with various health conditions.
Energy therapy has been used to help with weight loss in at least one case. This appears to work because being overweight and having associated problems with poor self-image and negative emotions causes a state of incoherent heart rate variability. More nutrition and hormones are utilized in this state, leaving the body depleted. The body begins conserving nutrients to restore its resources, leading to weight gain. Strenuous exercise drains energy and can further deplete reserves. The solution is to bring the body to a coherent heart rate variability to preserve the body’s resources. To achieve this state, feelings of contentment, internal happiness, and joy must be created. The body is operating efficiently and has enough resources to burn excess calories and lose weight.
Having a coherent heart rate variability may also help with stress. Stress is the root cause of several health problems, including the increasingly common Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome (AFS). Symptoms include difficulty waking, easily gaining weight around the waist, difficulty losing it, and feeling wired and tired. This condition has a wide range of symptoms due to the action of the body’s self-regulatory system, known as NeuroEndoMetabolic (NEM) Stress Response, which involves how several of the body’s main organ systems work together to deal with stress. A major component is the adrenal glands, which secrete over 50 hormones, including cortisol, a vital anti-stress hormone. The adrenal glands can become overburdened with ongoing stress and gradually lose hormonal output.
The NEM Stress Response model can help restore this system, but it is much more effective when coupled with a mind-body approach. Bringing the body to coherent heart rate variability balances the body’s energy levels and restores the healthy functioning of various organs. However, energy therapy should be carefully supervised for those with Adrenal Fatigue. The weaker the person, the higher the risk of negative reactions that can weaken the body and lead to adrenal crashes. Consider what is best for your body when considering new health protocols, and consult a professional if you have any concerns.
Good nutrition, regular exercise, and healthy lifestyle choices are recommended for good health. In unison with these methods, maintaining a healthy mind-body balance, reconnecting with nature, and considering the lessons of energy therapy can be a powerful healing system. Balancing the body’s energy systems leads to long-term health and well-being.
