UNDERSTANDING YOUR ENERGY SYSTEM


 
 
In the field of Holistic Healing, Energy Medicine and Energy, Psychology, are growing rapidly.
But in order to deal with energy effectively, we must first understand the nature of our energy system and how t...o support yourself in maintaining vital life-force energy, otherwise known as "Chi" in Chinese.

What do I mean by that? Everyone has an invisible energy system that flows energy on pathways or meridians.

These same meridians have multiple pressure points that are means of working with the energy to keep it flowing.

Acupressure, Acupuncture and reflexology are the more common modalities we have in the Western World.

 
 
 
 
When your energy is leaking, weak or frozen you feel depleted, heavy and even stuck! When you are energy-depleted and challenged, it is more difficult to manage your emotions, think positive thoughts, stay healthy and attract harmony into your life.

I once assisted a woman who was bedridden due to a severe case of chronic fatigue. I spent eight
weeks working with her body's energy system to restore it to good health and teaching her how to take care of her own energetic well-being. Today, she is out of bed and fully active.

Her parents call it a miracle! I, on the other hand, think otherwise. Because, anyone can attain amazing holistic health and for those of you who doubt it, let me share something with you: Our energy responds very quickly when we know what to do to correct it. After all, it's just energy!

Everyone has an invisible energy system called "Chakras". The word Chakra means energy disc, vortex or wheel. There are seven energy stations positioned from the base of your spine to the top of your head.


 
 
 
There are seven of these wheels and together, they make up the chakra system and each of them plays a key role in body's energy, your life and your overall well-being.

In energy health, if you are losing or leaking energy at the base chakra located at the bottom of your spine, you may feel depressed, anxious and exhausted. If any of your Chakras are frozen or weak, different areas of your life will be more challenging depending on which Chakra is weak.

EPIGENETICS


A Healthy Lifestyle Supports Healthy Genetic Expression
So the good news is that you are in control of your genes … You can alter them on a regular basis, depending on the foods you eat, the air you breathe, and the thoughts you think. It's your environment and lifestyle that dictates your tendency to express disease, and this new realization is set to make major waves in the future of disease prevention -- including one day educating people on how to fight disease at the epigenetic level. When a disease occurs, the solution, according to epigenetic therapy, is simply to "remind" your affected cells (change its environmental instructions) of its healthy function, so they can go back to being normal cells instead of  diseased cells.
You can begin to do this on your own, long before you manifest a disease. By leading a
healthy lifestyle, with high quality nutrition, exercise, limited exposure to toxins, and a positive mental attitude, you encourage your genes to express positive, disease-fighting behaviors.
This is what preventive medicine is all about. It's not about taking any one particular nutrient as a supplement to fix one specific "part" of your biological machinery... The more people become willing to embrace this simple truth, the healthier everyone will get.
It's also worth pointing out that epigenetic effects begin before birth.  
Epigenetic research from 2009 showed that rat fetuses receiving poor nutrition in the womb become genetically primed for a nutrition-poor environment. As a result of this genetic adaptation, the rats tended to be smaller. They were also at higher risk for a host of health problems throughout their lives, such as diabetes, growth retardation, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and neurodevelopmental delays. Again, while some are tempted to blame such "predispositions" on bad genes, the KEY factor is nutrition, i.e. the cellular environment.  
If you are ready to address your dietary choices and you need a Nutrition Plan which will give you tips and tools for eating healthy, dealing with stress, and living a lifestyle that will support your epigenetic health, then phone today and make your appointment. 
You can also turn your genes off and on with your emotions too. Many, if not most people carry emotional scars; traumas that can adversely affect health. Using techniques like energy psychology, you can go in and correct the trauma and help regulate your genetic expression. My favourite technique for this is the Emotional Freedom Technique(EFT), but there are many others........ 
Choose whichever one appeals to you, and if you don't sense any benefits, try another, until you find what works best for you. 
Please, remember that 'You CAN Take Control of Your Health.'

 
 
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS TODAY!

POLARITY THERAPY



Other common name(s):
 polarity balancing, polarity energy balancing, reiki healing ...

Scientific/medical name(s):
 none

Description:Polarity therapy is based on the idea that a person's health and well-being are determined by the natural flow of energy through the body. Polarity refers to the positive and negative charges of the body's electromagnetic energy field. Practitioners use touch, movement, and other methods to help this energy flow.




Overview:

Available scientific evidence does not support claims that polarity therapy is effective in treating cancer or any other disease. However, it is sometimes recommended by physicians as a tool for relaxation when conducted by a trained professional.


How is it promoted for use?
 Polarity therapy is based on the theory that a smooth flow of energy maintains health, while disruptions in the flow caused by trauma, stress, poor nutrition, and other factors lead to energy imbalances, fatigue, and illness. There are believed to be three types of energy fields in the human body: long-line currents that run north to south on the body; transverse currents that run east-west in the body; and spiral currents that start at the navel and expand outward.

Practitioners of polarity therapy claim they can identify the sources of energy blockages and disruptions by observing symptoms such as headaches, tight shoulders and back muscles, muscle spasms, pain, abdominal discomfort, and even tumors. They also claim polarity therapy can be used to promote relaxation and range of motion, relieve tension, increase energy, and reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling. They further state that polarity therapy enhances the body's ability to fight off serious illness, including cancer.




What does it involve?
 Because polarity therapy is based on the unique needs of the patient at the time, no two sessions are exactly alike. Most often, weekly sessions are suggested for six to eight weeks, although this may vary depending on the person and his or her needs. During a successful session of polarity therapy, the patient is said to reach a state of deep relaxation. A polarity therapy session lasts about an hour or more. Generally, polarity therapy is recommended for use in addition to standard medical care.





The first polarity therapy session includes detailed questions about physical and mental health, diet and exercise, health concerns, work, and more. The patient lies on a massage table while the therapist scans for imbalances and checks energy flow in the body. The polarity therapist may use a variety of techniques to balance and clear energy field paths. Some of these include twisting the torso, spinal realignment, curling toes, rocking motions, and moving the hands or crystals along the body's natural energy pathways. Some techniques are similar to those used by chiropractors (see our document, Chiropractic). Other aspects of polarity therapy may include supportive counselling, deep-breathing exercises, diet changes, hydrotherapy (see our document, Hydrotherapy), stretching, and yoga (see our document, Yoga).






What is the history behind it?
Polarity therapy was developed in the late 1940s by Randolph Stone, a chiropractor, osteopath, and naturopath. Dr. Stone studied several forms of traditional medicine practices from India and China. He taught that each person is responsible for his or her own health and that simple steps such as those involved in polarity therapy improve physical and spiritual well-being. According to the American Polarity Therapy Association, about one thousand polarity therapists are registered in the United States. Various schools and people from around the world teach polarity therapy. Some organizations have training programs to certify polarity therapists. However, these organizations are not regulated by any government agency.



What is the evidence?
Claims that polarity therapy is an effective treatment for cancer and other serious diseases have not been proven. The existence of energy field paths in the human body has also not been proven. Little clinical research has been published in peer-reviewed medical journals on polarity therapy. A very small pilot study looked at fatigue in women undergoing radiation therapy for breast cancer and found that the women who got polarity treatments reported better quality of life a few days afterward. However, no treatment was used in the comparison group, and the patients’ expectation of improvement may have affected the results. A 2007 review study that looked at research on complementary methods to help cancer-related fatigue did not find enough evidence to recommend polarity therapy for this problem.




Patients often report feeling relaxed and less tense after a polarity therapy session. Some physicians encourage patients to undergo bodywork therapies (such as polarity therapy and massage) because some make people feel better, if only for a short time. Others believe the prolonged physical contact involved in hands-on techniques is relaxing and therefore helpful to some people.





Are there any possible problems or complications?
Polarity therapy, when done by a trained professional, is considered safe for relaxation purposes.

Relying on this treatment alone and delaying or avoiding conventional medical care for cancer may have serious health consequences.





Improperly applied techniques may cause injury. People with cancer and chronic conditions such as arthritis and heart disease should talk to their doctors before having any type of treatment that involves manipulation of joints and muscles.
