It should be simple to be your true self, shouldn't it?
However, you've been conditioned to value effort within a paradigm that has you working hard to earn things, struggling to feel deserving, and constantly striving to improve. And so, you end up viewing your life purpose as a project to be completed - something that has to be achieved.
This way of viewing your life purpose is exactly why you might feel stuck.
It is possible to live in a way that honours your true nature, brings you meaning, purpose and joy and which doesn’t leave you feeling like you are not enough or there is something missing. Living your purpose can be effortless.
Energy medicine techniques are the simple actions you can take to look after yourself and your body. Without needing the help of anyone or anything else. Here are 21 real-life examples of how energy medicine has helped me and my clients. Demonstrating the very real and practical ways in which these techniques can bring relief, alleviation, and liberation from small niggly stressors to larger life-altering upsets.
The Proof is in the Water
In the last issue we discussed Energy Medicine and the way in which the quantum world views everything as ‘energy’ and considers human beings to be dynamic energy systems who constantly interact with the numerous energetic forces in their environment. If we accept (or are at least open to accepting) Einstein’s premise that all physical matter, sound, light, and our bodies are really just made up of vibrating waves of energy, then it seems reasonable to assume that our thoughts are also just another form of energy.
illness always begins at energy level. A stress (mental or physical) will trigger a reaction or particular emotional state. This emotional state causes a reduction or imbalance in energy in a particular meridian. If this emotional state persists it will eventually lead to a disease or illness in the associated meridian/organ.
The Connection Between Our Beliefs and Our Health
Louise Hay’s book You Can Heal Your Life was first published in 1984 and fourteen years later it was still on the New York Times best sellers list. It has sold over 35 million copies worldwide and remains one the definitive self-help books.
For those unfamiliar with Hay’s work, she was a pioneer in explaining the mind-body connection and the metaphysical nature of illness. Her philosophy is simple: the thoughts we think and the words we speak create our experiences and our reality. Hay linked physical ailments with mental causes or negative thought patterns and then developed positive thought patterns or ‘affirmations’ for reversing illness and creating health.
The Body as an Energy System
Conventional or Western medicine is based on Isaac Newton’s model of reality grounded in the science of biochemistry. The body is seen as a complex biochemical machine which is explainable in terms of the behaviour of molecules and atoms. When problems arise within the body (dis-ease), the modern approach is to intervene at the physical level with drugs or surgery. This approach therefore pays little attention to the role of mind, emotion and spirit in the causation, healing, and prevention of disease. Energy Medicine is based on Einstein’s quantum theory which sees human beings as networks of complex energy fields.
