“Whatever the conditions of our lives, no matter what difficulties we are experiencing in our health, our relationships, our work, the techniques found in energy medicine can optimize entire systems in our bodies, minds, and emotional realms.”
Principle Number 6: Healing Before Disease
Church makes the point that our focus can shift from looking for disease to increasing our level of well-being, and says a good way for you to do this is with “energy medicine.”
Energy medicine is one of five domains identified by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), and the Center makes a distinction between forms whose existence has already been confirmed and proven by scientific investigation, and those, such as spiritual healing, which are not yet considered proven by science. Many of the therapies are already quite familiar, and their benefits are recognized by those who have used them.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (which includes acupuncture), Reiki, Qigong, Healing Touch™ (energy source not yet considered to be proven by science), magnet therapy, light therapy (energy source has been proven scientifically). Of course, these are just general categories, and there are many options available. Homeopathy and herbal remedies are often included in the broad category of energy medicine, as well as guided imagery and relaxation training.
While I was in the hospital, and in the days after as I was home recovering, I was blessed to be supported by aromatherapy, reflexology, Healing Touch™, Reiki, music, homeopathy, Bach Flower Rescue Remedy, angels, guides, humor, prayer, meditation, walking, coloring, and love. Lots and lots and lots of love….

The most important thing is, this week, begin to be aware of the importance of your putting your focus on healing now by developing the habit of “attuning to your inner state of health.” (edited and reposted from 2010)
