Energy Healing Myth Or Magic?

Are there any sceptics out there that have visions of Energy Healers as being longhaired, long robed sorcerers waving a magic sceptre to banish all your woes?

This image would give the misconception that healing was a form of magic. The truth though lies in the magic of our life source that surrounds us all!

Everything is made up of matter, and matter consists of energy. Whilst non-living objects do have a surrounding energy field due to atomic discharge, living bodies have something more-a living energy field which is the life force containing the blue print for the development of that body. Besides the physical energy flow that runs through our bodies, we have more subtle energies flowing around us that extends beyond our physical bodies. This is known as the Human Energy field or Auric field and is unique to each person.

Scientific studies have revealed that energy healing produces immediate biochemical effects such as a rise in the hormone levels (DHEA) that protect the body against major illnesses, and increase the activation of cells associated with the immune system.

Quantum Physics shows us that we are all energy fields moving and interacting with other energy fields.

Semyan Kirilan discovered Kirilan photography in 1939. It has given us scientific proof of these outer energy fields, or auras of people, plants and animals.

As our knowledge of energy expands and we understand that we are more than just flesh and bones, we are more able to embrace the concept of energy healing.

Ancient civilizations have been aware of this energy and the importance of keeping its balance for thousands of years.

On going scientific studies are showing that healing energy has beneficial effects on humans, plants and animals.

A mother has a natural instinct to nurture and heal her child. When she lovingly passes her hand over her sick child’s forehead she is sending healing energy with her love, and intention to heal, without even realising it! This is an important part of the healing process.

Reading auras is one of the first teachings in our healing studies.

This is done for the purpose of assessing the state of a person’s health. The aura is read by seeing and feeling the energy that surrounds the body. The auric field contains the personal blue print of our DNA and is composed of the physical emotional and spiritual aspects of our well- being.

So how do healers assess this information from the body?

By looking at the aura healers are able to get a general indication of the physical condition of a person. The etheric is the first layer of the auric field. If it looks dull and foggy, the person would be run down, tired, irritable, stressed or ill.

One way an aura can be perceived is through feeling. By passing the hand slowly over the energy field the healer can detect if there is unevenness in the aura. The auric field has fibres which connect to your physical body. When stressed, these fibres become entangled and feel bumpy.

The healer then unruffles this field and, as the fibres are smoothed out, the flow of energy is stimulated. This cool, calms, and balances the field. Some conditions that have been known to balance are:

Congestion, soothing babies, Arthritis, Pain, Headaches, Shock, & Anxiety

Our aura provides protection and warning when someone moves into our auric field.

Anyone can perceive an aura, it is not just something we can see, but also feel and sense.  Have you ever had an uneasy feeling at the back of your neck and turn to find someone staring at you? Or maybe, you have noticed that that you are immediately comfortable with some people you meet and like them instantly and others you are not comfortable with. Did you ever find yourself automatically stepping back from someone?  Why did you feel uncomfortable? Have you ever had the strong urge to touch or hug someone who is in pain?

All of these sensations are reactions to information coming to us from another person’s aura.

I hope that this has given a better understanding of Energy Healing and erased any misconceptions!

The link between the auric field and the Chakras and how a healer can interpret the meaning of them will be described in the next issue.
