Does the body have a given amount of energy throughout a lifetime? Do drugs, caffeine, sugar, x-rays, MRI’s, surgery diminish the capacity? How much energy is available? Where does energy come from? A plethora of definitions exist. In science, ‘energy’ is: the amount of work that can be performed; an activity powering the mind or psyche; the name for alternative treatments that involve the use of veritable (measured) and putative (have yet to be measured) fields. All agree ‘energy’ can neither be created nor destroyed but changed from one form to another (like water to steam to ice). In physics and thermodynamics, heat is the by-product of this ‘energy transfer’. Heat is never stored in the body but exists only as energy in transit from one place to another. The technology that quantifies the heat emitted by subtle energies, which up until now has been detected by sensitive individuals using Reiki, hands-on-healing and other alternative modalities, is now visible on computer screens through a variety of graphic interpretations either as colors, waves of frequencies, photographs or lines on a graph. As far as is known, the benefit of thermal measurements, rather than bombarding the body with x-rays and microwaves compromising the immune system, is non-interference with physiological, psychic or mental functions.
Can allopathic (modern) medicine, psychology, holistic medicine and non-invasive technology find a balance, a consiliance so that each modality is validated and valued without dismissing the other? What are the underlying principles? Modern Western medicine is dominated by precise classifications and definitions (mapping) of specific biological systems and certain ‘energy fields’ for expedient elimination of symptoms through ‘attacking, fighting’ through mostly invasive, unnatural procedures (prescription drugs) and techniques (surgery). By contrast, complementary medicine is based on subtle, gentle ideologies introduced through the Oriental notion of ‘energy transfer’ through acupuncture meridians, channels and points as well as thermal and tactile practices allowing the body to heal itself through nudging (acupuncture), humane (massage), serene (meditation) approaches. One offers quick, aggressive fixes, the other slow methodical natural processes.
The electromagnetic spectrum, where ‘energy’ resides, spans a broad range of frequencies and wavelengths, most invisible to the naked eye. Modern medicine is interested in a select few systems with ‘experts’ at the helm while complementary medicine is open and embraces all. Living and non-living structures have evolved within the context of this spectrum from buildings to human beings to honey bees to molecules to atoms. In the Living Energy Universe, Drs. Gary Schwartz and Linda Russek state ‘it is possible to organize the entire universe in terms of nested levels of systems, from micro to the macro”. Each system evolves into higher orders facilitated by ‘energy’. For example, the body is a complex organism (rather than a clockwork machine of biological gears and parts that is often espoused in conventional medicine). Its metabolic energy transforms fats and sugars, then the bioelectrical energy influences the heart, brain and nerves and then these react with the biophotonic energy located in the nucleus of the cells. Each is interwoven with the other through predominately unseen, immeasurable processes. Are there negative consequences when minimal energy fields are acknowledged by modern medicine to the exclusion of others?
Generally, the existence of ‘energy fields’ was widely accepted in Eastern practices but rejected by Western scientists because objective evidence was unavailable. During the latter part of the 19th century, photographs were made of animate and inanimate objects with electrography, using no cameras but rather a high-voltage, high-frequency, low amperage electrical discharge. In 1939, Semyon Kirlian, a Russian electrician, with his wife Valentina, rediscovered it (hence named after them) confirming the ‘nested field’ theory of science and ‘auras’ of religions. In more modern times, Kirlian photography peeked the interest of UCLA’s Center for Health Science, which detected fluctuating ‘fields’ around photographed leaves and fingertip samples influenced by alcohol, yoga, hypnosis and emotional states. Up to now, professional endorsement of Kirlian photography and similar technologies that measure ‘external fields of energy’ are not universal because decades ago during initial trials, the instruments and parameters did not meet rigorous scientific standards. The International Union of Medical and Applied Bio-Electrophotography was formed in 1997 to deal with these issues.
Yet, scientists have been observing internal energy fields through microscopes and other machines. Neurophysiologists studied interactions of abnormal, unhealthy brain activities attempting to extrapolate information about ‘normal’ operations. The tide has changed and healthy chemical and electro-magnetic interactions through MRI’s and CT scans are uncovering new vistas about learning, behavior and mechanics. Additionally, even though the genetic coding of the body is mapped out and displays a propensity for a certain characteristic, disease or behavior and mathematical formulas for entropy (chaos) and other variables implemented, 100 percent accuracy and predictability is impossible to achieve when the intangibles or ‘subtle energies’ remain elusive to standard measurement. Why is modern medicine bias against external fields beyond the body, exclusively accepting the internal under microscope or x-ray while physicists study the trails left behind in subatomic testing? In light of the size and magnitude of the spectrum, wouldn’t logic dictate that both are equally relevant?
Anything with an atomic structure will emanate energy vibrations that react to the surrounding environment. For millennium, Eastern philosophies elude to the notion of visible energetic bodies in the form of ‘charkas’ whose seven levels of energy (much like tree rings) represent the emotional, mental, astral, etheric, celestial and causal bodies. Early Christian artists depicted the Christ or saintly figures with a ‘halo’ about the head. In holistic health, the concept has been reintroduced as an indicator of personality, character, behavior, disposition, emotional states, states of consciousness or well-being. This electro-magnetic field, which begins eight to ten feet from the body extending outward, surrounds all matter like a ‘Ready Brek’ glow or pregnant women emitting a ‘glow’, possibly accounting for the ‘attraction’ factor of objects or people. Individuals might experience the phenomena as having a ‘funny’ feeling, disliking some stranger without any pretext or logical reason or hair standing on end. ‘Auras’ and ‘ external fields’ are difficult to imagine (except through the art of Alex Gray), hence the skeptics who discount their existence. But then without a microscope, it would be impossible to imagine an atom or understand the magnetic energy encircling the earth without a loadstone. This outward invisible reality, which scientists nebulously refer to as ‘heat’, ‘electro-magnetic’ or ‘energy’, is the focal point that the latest technologies address.
DIAGNOSIS
After blood, saliva and urine tests forewarned of a serious illness, the search began for a cure through non-invasive alternative modalities. Interestingly, many ‘practitioners’ in alternative healing modalities utilized less scientific methodologies for diagnosis of the disease- muscle testing, the prime example. These ‘tests’ (grasping an object or body part with one hand while extension of other hand is measured for resistance) presumably uncovered not only the nature of the illness, but also recommended treatments such as supplements, herbs and other holistic strategies and techniques. The competence and accuracy of some fifty muscle testing individuals found only one to be accurate because the focal point was identifying ‘disease’. As a scientist, the research was expanded to include dowsing, psychic awareness, tarot cards, with no major level of accuracy demonstrated, indeed nebulous measuring tools. Clearly, these erratic methodologies for diagnostic purposes of naming serious illness strongly depend on the clarity, integrity and intent of the individual conducting the testing.
Although traditional blood, urine and saliva analysis are also conducted by individuals (who make substantial errors in judgment and interpretation much less mixing up lab results) utilizing technology as the medium, the objective nature and indirect relationship between patient and tester lends itself to more accurate results in diagnosis. The conclusion in this search is that the ‘diagnostic’ portion of determining disease and defining illness is best left to modern medical technology. Although there is a margin for error here as well in human mistakes, this method is universally trusted and the percentage of accuracy is much higher.
NAMING DIS-EASE OR NOT?
But is ‘naming’ a disease really essential for physiological well-being? Is it important to know you have cancer, a heart condition or diabetes? Is defining multiple diseases, requiring multiple simultaneous prescriptions (the ingestion of which creates other imbalances and symptoms to occur as a result) and multiple treatments i.e. liver disease (whose medication causes) depression with diabetes (whose medication causes) fluid retention with headaches (whose medication causes) nausea with infection, a reflection of health ‘care’ or medical sell-out with each succeeding drug causing yet another symptom to be medicated? Is ‘defining’ the illness (presumably for the sake of replication of treatment i.e. scientific method) as important as measuring the subtle energies? When the body is viewed as a composite, unified in spirit, emotion, thought, action, environment and habitude and not a disease to be named, cured, drugged, attacked or poked, ‘naming’ an illness is unnecessary. More important is discovering the resonant therapy or solution for the various ‘nested’ systems throughout the organism hindering it from balance. Any treatment requires the healing of multiple layers of mind (changing thoughts), body (changing diet), spirit (changing beliefs), psyche (changing habitudes), environment (changing imbalance and chaos) and emotion (changing feelings). To do otherwise, that is, focus merely on the ‘quick fix’ physical through invasive surgery or the emotional with drugs, would result in the recurrence (as cancer often does) through sublimation or non-resolution. By the time the skin eruptions or pain persists, the ‘symptom’ is the body’s yearning for long needed attention, the last resort, the cry for help. Uncovering the internal and external subtle energies and imbalances would eliminate the need to define dis-ease because ferreting out the ‘root’ (like pulling a dandelion flower with the root system intact) is removing the entire problem. Whatever the belief, bias or persuasion, there is always an approach to pursue either ‘out-of-the-box’ modalities (the psychic surgeons of the Philippines, hands on healers, Native American Shamans, Reiki masters, Chinese herbalists) or allopathic. Through personal experience, patients that chose the allopathic route are gone; those that chose the slow and natural, remain.
The medical establishment often initially condemns ‘fringe’ practices and technologies. The outcry is generally precipitated when: the technology is accompanied by a practitioner who hails supplements over prescription drugs (Ironically, the chastising claim by the medical establishment is that new technologies are a tool for selling supplements yet, physicians are never chided for selling prescription drugs using similar, more expensive technologies.); non-invasive procedures over surgery (chiropractors); good nutrition and prevention over medical intervention (nutritionists and trainers); or self-discovery and self-diagnosis over medical procedures (self-help industry). Here are a few examples of the latest technological tools that quantify subtle energies:
Kirlian Gas Discharge Visualization or EPI Electrophotonic Imaging: Many holistic practitioners gravitate to this technology because it encompasses Eastern philosophical principles. Russia has been upper most in the development of scientific applications to electrophotography due to the efforts of Konstantin Korotkov, a physicist at Saint Petersburg Federal Technical University who patented the GDV (Gas Discharge Visualization) technique. Based on Kirlian photography, it employs fiberglass optics, a digitalized TV matrix and image processing with computer software measuring thermal skin emanations. A subject places a fingertip on the special glass circular area, which serves as a sensor, is photographed and the resulting BEO-grams (Biological Effects Optics) are analyzed from various photographs. The graphics include a diagnostic table (connecting the glow of the fingers with the functional states of the body), a 10-finger glow analysis and an energy field analysis based on the seven charkas. The computer software calculates more than 30 parameters. GDV assessment methods have demonstrated a wide range of important applications in medicine, sports performance, materials testing, as well as analytic studies of human consciousness and spiritual healing. As a relatively new technology, the key to outcomes depends on the knowledge, experience and expertise of the individual interpreting the results. It is so innovative that few Americans have completed the training. www.korotlov.org
ZYTO’S Limbic Stress Assessment: On the other hand, the LSA Pro (Limbic Stress Assessment) is, a bioenergetics technology, an electro-dermal screening device that measures nutritional, energetic and structural imbalances in the body using a biofeedback protocol. Utilizing galvanic skin response (technology used in lie-detector tests) the system “communicates” with the body’s energetic frequencies with relative accuracy through a hand held device. The technology has over 60,000 different scenarios available to the practitioner for testing. Once the stressors are identified, the system immediately establishes a program that best fits the body’s preferences and needs. Interpretation by the testing agent is immediate. It can be easily adapted, after proper training with the program, as a self-testing device! www.bioenergetictechnology.com/about/zyto-technology/lsa-pro
Live Blood Analysis: Quebec scientist Gaston Naessens invented a complex UV light source ‘somatoscope’ that examines living material 30 times the resolution available in conventional microscopes. Then Professor Lida Mattman of Wayne State University and Dr. Phil Hockstra conducted further studies on cell walls. The combined results provide a study of live blood cells, rather than those dead or tainted in the laboratory, for analyzing predictors of illness. According to the medical profession, this is an ‘unestablished diagnostic test’ for viewing the activities in the blood. It begs the question: why would you want to look at a dead cell when a live one is available? Convenience? This LBA or Live Blood Analysis (or live cell analysis) is a high-resolution microscopy technique enabling the patient to observe the activity and health (or not) of corpuscles under a magnified computer lens after a droplet of blood has been extracted from the finger. The individual observes how diet and other factors, affect the blood and overall physiology. Although its validity as a laboratory test has yet to be determined, in a few locations, traditional medical professionals in universities have been introduced to this diagnostic tool thus opening the door for merging old and new. Proponents, including the author, allege it provides information about everything from immune system, vitamin deficiencies, toxicity, pH, mineral imbalance, fungus and yeast inflections. Since this is relatively new technology, it has not been scrutinized with scientific rigor in order to be embraced by the establishment. Although the practitioner trained in nutrition, biology and chemistry is better suited for this device, there is obvious value of real-time observation of live blood cells. However, anyone with proper training can be effective in the interpreting the images. www.normanallan.com/Med/blood.html
Thermography: Hippocrates first documented measuring body temperature around 400 BC. He wrote, ‘in whatever part of the body excess heat or cold is felt, the disease is there to be discovered’. From this concept evolved the 21st century science of imaging using infrared cameras. Temperature variations in the body demonstrate precursors for detecting disease and appear long before the actual symptoms. Thermography uses infrared sensors to detect heat and increased vascularity (angiogenesis) in the breast. These sensors capture physiological changes and provide an image for computerized analysis. Traditional Mammography detects unhealthy breast tissue only when actual structural damage due to calcium deposits is present while thermography detects biochemical changes. With increased concern for the over exposure of x-rays and imaging machines, Thermography, a non-invasive, non-radiated, painless, FDA approved technique, also known as Digital Infrared Imaging, is an early detector for imbalance activity and is far less detrimental to the body than x-ray and mammogram. The consensus among health care experts is that no one procedure or method of imaging is solely adequate for breast cancer screening. Since it has been determined that 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer, every non-invasive means must be accessed to identify these tumors when there is the greatest chance for detection and survival. (Like an x-ray, thermography measures heat variations throughout the entire body as well) A licensed trained medical doctor reads the results of the thermogram while a trained technician captures the images. www.breastthermography.org
EMOTIONAL THERAPIES
Emotions and beliefs are subtle ‘energies’ that can become rigid and destructive patterns governing behavior, thoughts and feelings. Trained practitioners recognize body language, voice patterning and verbal cues that hint at factors debilitating the psyche through masterful defense mechanisms. As a practitioner (purist) trained in the practices of Wilhelm Reich, Carl Jung and Gestalt therapies, the road to emotional health through these methodologies can be a long, arduous task in much the same way as recovering from major surgery. Some emotions are generational like depression and fear (if mom was afraid of heights, daughter might be as well). The foundation for illness and ailments are often deep rooted in memories from childhood or events prior to the age of eight, the ‘preverbal’ stage. Throughout this period, the brain communicates with symbols not in words. Therapies that are predominantly verbal have little effect in uncovering suppressed memory or working with children. Finding techniques that expedite the process of transforming disconnected and unwanted behavior (like abuse or fear) is invaluable.
For the most part, Western culture devalues the emotional and spiritual subtle energies (the suicide rate among soldiers is the prime example). When ignored and subjugated, denial can become physical, mental, sexual, verbal, emotional and spiritual abuse to oneself or others. In many places, physical abuse is socially acceptable as a means of discipline and/or punishment. Yet, abuse in any form has a detrimental effect on the brain’s capacity to transmit information thwarting clear healthy responses. Extended periods of abuse, fear and anxiety result in the disconnection between mind, emotion and body leading to inappropriate, deviant, antisocial, unhealthy, self-sabotaging behavior patterns (hence the Bernie Madoff’s). In addition, these individuals are lacking in discrimination, discernment and moral skills as well as boundary determiners.
The current national environment nourishes a climate of intense fear and trepidation over lost jobs, lost homes or possessions. Families, children and teens are under duress and become stymied and stifled by overwhelming depression and low esteem and self-worth. Fear leads to contraction, overreaction and illogical behavior. The emotional issues in any situation override intellectual rational thinking (as murder, theft and suicide seem the long term option for short term problems) or affect attitudes and habitudes (when a loved one is in the hospital on the brink of death, one cannot function at work)! Here are some alternative technologies that address emotional issues, measuring subtle energies with expeditious results:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: EMDR or rapid eye movement therapy was developed by Francine Sharpiro to assist Vietnam Vets with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. An information processing therapy with complex psychological methodology and technologies that accelerates the treatment of a wide range of pathologies and self-esteem issues relating to upsetting past events. Many adults and children suffer from this affliction having survived warring parents and abuse or as a child or grandchild of a wartime victim. Past memories, present triggers or anticipated future experiences can surface that cause serious illness. Use of EMDR results in change of memories, creates new associations and emerges new insights. There are ‘dual stimulation’ technologies introduced that involve (visual) bilateral eye movements, (auditory) tones and taps over an eight stage period. For example, a strobe paneled light that encourages the eyes to maneuver left and right is capable of retraining neurological hardwiring as well as transforming physiology. During the process, the client attends to past memories, present triggers or anticipated future while simultaneously focusing on a set of external technological stimuli. The protocols for EMDR include psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, experimental and body centered therapies. It attends to the past experiences that have set the groundwork for pathology, the current situations that trigger dysfunctional emotions, beliefs and sensations, and the positive experience needed to enhance future adaptive behaviors and mental health. A professional licensed in therapy best facilitates EMDR. www.emdr.com
VSA (Voice Stress Assessment) or EVOX: There is always some minor issue to be uncovered and resolved that keeps the system out-of-balance in addition to those major debilities. VSA (Voice Stress Assessment) or EVOX, is a neuro feedback device, utilizing Voice Patterning or Remapping program that shifts emotional behavioral patterns both transgenerational and perceptional (also being utilized on returning soldiers with PTSD). The participant records short ‘voice maps’ concerning relatives, significant people or issues, circumstances and events that impede optimal health. The computer software picks up voice frequency stress markers through microphone and hand cradle. It then plots a voice map. The individual reviews the map and its significance and then repeats the process until desired results are achieved. Evox transforms the voice pattern instantly during the session as well as neurophysiologically repatterning the brain. Since humans learn by association and remember by repetition, the circadian rhythm allows the participant to continue to shift long after the session ends while learning to redirect responses to lifelong triggers. The shifts and progress made with Evox is permanent, all without having to relive the experience over and over again. As this is self-directed biofeedback, a licensed professional is unnecessary. www.zyto.com/Products/Evox.aspx
PHYSICIAN, TECHNITION, HOLISTIC HEALTH PRACTITIONER
More imperative in the healing process, is learning to ask the appropriate questions and finding the clear, knowledgeable, resonant healer and technician with the solution. There is no real over seeing entity that moderates, scrutinizes or examines the alternative practitioner like the American Medical Association or Psychological Association with standards of practice. In the arena of allopathic (modern) medicine, the identification of charlatans- doctor feel goods, practicing without a license, incompetence, unethical practices – in institutions and offices, for the most part can be found (although not as easily today as medical and health professionals police their own, are rarely, if ever, fired, arrested or publicly flogged or chastised). Although most alternative technological practitioners in the holistic health arena are naturopaths, chiropractors, psychologists, nutritionists or technicians with offices (who might sell supplements in order to gain more revenues), the measure for competence among non-traditional health professionals is generally through word-of-mouth and ‘gut’ feeling because standards don’t exist. So patient, be aware!
Since the medical establishment has, through pressures from insurance company reimbursement schedules, become ‘unattending’ physicians spending less and less time during an office visit (15-20 minutes), patients often need to be ‘heard’ and ‘regarded with dignity and respect’ instead of ‘treated’ with medication, dismissed, prodded, poked and tested for illness. Patients desiring a more humane treatment seek out the alternative practitioner who spends more time listening to them than shuttling them. The person utilizing technologies is, for the most part, a technician not a therapist or healer untrained to deal with the intense emotional, deep issues that arise during the session but none-the-less empathetic. More often than not (unless they are licensed professionals), alternative therapists are untrained in patient confidentiality, patient-professional boundaries, proper paper work, while some meet in cozy home offices, share knowledge with gusto even for free or little charge and all-in-all present a less formal atmosphere or air of professionalism.
Passion for the domain in which they practice often overshadows the level of ‘distance’ that would be exemplified by the ‘elite’ trained physician or specialist. The demarcation line between patient and technician can become blurred in a holistic, relaxed context. The defense mechanisms required for discrimination and discernment in relationships are disarmed when emotions are released. It is not a given that a technician is necessarily a healthy human being whom one should unconditionally trust, emulate and follow. When ‘distance’ has not been established, boundaries are crossed.
That being said, because alternative practitioners are more humane, available and spend more time with clients, because they use non-invasive technologies and because, generally, people feel better after having been with them, they are less inclined to having law suits filed against them i.e. more patient satisfaction! These individuals are trained, skilled, sensitive and adept in their arts enabling the client to embrace new heights in mental clarity, physical health and spiritual well being. Seek out those individuals, professionals or technicians from all disciplines who offer the tools for self-discovery, self-regulation, self-healing, self-motivation and self-sustaining protocols in the healing process rather than control, manipulation and arrogance. The road to well-being is a joint venture between client and expert not a pyramid structure with knowledgeable one at the top dictating to those at the bottom. Practitioners less motivated by personal needs, remuneration and gratification and more into ‘health care’ are desirable in any area of expertise.
RESULTS
Healed subtle energies are invisible to the untrained patient (and technician), unlike the mending of a broken arm or immediate relief of an aspirin for a headache, which are tangible or visible to the eye. Subtle energies are slow to recover because a multitude of levels are intertwined and unraveled in the process. Metaphorically, treating subtle energies is analogous to having a bucket filled with water with about an inch of sand on the bottom (the sand symbolic of the emotional, spiritual, subtle scars lying hidden under the surface of the unconscious). After each non-invasive treatment, the ladle stirs the water and lifts some of the sand out of the bucket as the rest returns to the lie on the bottom. On the physiological level, for a moment, the body is given a glimmer of the balance, peace and tranquility it lacks (that’s why one feels good). But because behavior, belief, thought and feeling patterns run so deep for so long, upon return to the ‘outside’ world after a session and within a short period, the systems return to the old pattern WITH the lingering memory of a new way of being, behaving. Again and again with treatment, the sand is lifted from its hiding place deep in the unconscious and the body is reintroduced to balance until it can finally, on its own, maintain the balance itself.
By contrast, invasive surgery, which attempts to ‘pluck out’ the diseased member or kill it with drugs, attacks the symptom and not the cause. Often times, when the cancerous organ is removed, the cancer returns with a vengeance elsewhere because the ‘root’ cause located in the subtle energies- emotion, spirit, psyche, mental, environment- has not been addressed finding another ‘host’ to overtake. Drugs merely transport the symptoms into hiding for a time. Gardeners are cognizant of removing the ‘root system’ of weeds because weed whacking them has little effect. A Cure (which can only be applied to preserving meat) is the ultimate in Western medicine. Without locating the origin of the imbalance, well-being is unachievable.
Metaphors aside, in the real-time life environment, the ‘new energies’ stimulated by these technologies ‘sets up’ a series of events and circumstances or tests that enable the patient to self-transform the emotional scars and pain into well-being. These ‘tests’ from the external environment when successfully realized rewire neurological connections to healthier outcomes since subtle energies have a direct relationship to both inner and outer environments both physiological as well as ecological. Echart Tole in A New Earth proposed the notion that what is thought, felt, imagined and focused upon can transform and create the environment in which one lives, thrives and maneuvers much the same way as what is consumed can alter metabolism or body health.
Here is an example from a client: Approximately 18 months ago, Jim, now 60 years old after 38 years of marriage, lost his wife. Memory retention became an issue. Subtle ‘minor incidences’ and tasks accumulated becoming major issues. Evox treatments and acupuncture were avenues of least resistance while searching for the origins of the memory loss. During each session, Jim unearthed an experience long forgotten. With guidance from a psychologist in conjunction with the technologies, Jim observed the subtle improvement in his memory with minor tasks that were previously debilitating- remembering events or conversations, paying bills, thinking ahead, misplacing keys or files or money. With Evox, the memory capabilities and capacities were reinstated slowly over time. But it took the coordinated effort with the psychologist to remind Jim of his reemerging skills (thus reinforcing the new skill) because both the ‘tests’ and the ‘responses’ are so subtle they go unnoticed in the chaos of daily life. When subtle energies become transformed in the healing process, the ‘unconscious psyche’, ‘universe’ sets up environmental and external episodes, lessons, incidences and circumstances in order to elicit new responses (those learned by the unconscious psyche through healing energy sessions) so the hardwired former responses are permanently transformed into new behaviors. One must be diligent, aware and sensitive to these new situations in order to change the response. Generally, the process, with conscious observation, takes about 30 days to transform the behavior (although longer for deep seeded issues) as reaction times grow closer to actual events. The Ah! Ha! Moment is achieved and powers of recall slowly reemerge.
CONCLUSION
No one practice, modality, technology or therapy is recommended for achieving balance. If one breaks an arm, one seeks Western medicine, the quick fix. If one seeks not to become imbalanced in the first place, enough to cause an accident, prevention strategies are appropriate. A comprehensive approach, which gently heals thoughts, counters pain, enlivens the spirit, frees the emotions and calms the environment are better alternatives. The future will no doubt hold many more new technologies uncovering various forms of subtle energy as yet undiscovered. New technologies combine the acknowledgment of the ‘complementary medicine’s’ subtle energies while embracing the ‘expeditious’ notion of allopathic medicine for accelerating treatment. Perhaps one day, Insurance Companies will reward prevention and cover alternative therapies, thus reducing national medical costs. Currently, if participation in the allopathic paradigm or adherence to its ideologies of ‘sickness’ and ‘disease’ driven by fear and its dictates is circumvented, the self-motivated patient is penalized into a self-paying system. Hopefully, with vigilance and open-mindedness, the marriage of non-invasive technology and science to alternative modalities is the future direction to truly achieve ‘health care’. Daria M.
