No matter what level of understanding you have about the energy therapies, though, I believe it is important to learn MORE, because energy balancing treatments are now rather the “cutting edge” of science, and they are here to stay!
Although the "energies" of the body have been "perceived" for eons, they are only now being embraced by our medical system because our equipment has increased to this level of sensitivity.
Energy therapies are even entering into conventional medical facilities now, but only under “progressive” circumstances because these hospitals and medical centers are becoming aware that the public benefits from it. (Or in other words: it’s occurring in the medical facilities that are located in areas where the competition is great enough that it must do these ‘extra’ things because the customers WANT it!)
Although our conventional medical systems still approach health issues as “bodies that are broken,” using pharmacology and surgery only treat the symptoms and not the cause. This approach totally ignores the fact that the side effects of such treatments often create ADDITIONAL health issues with which to be dealt.
Unfortunately, treatments that treat the CAUSE RATHER than the symptom are not “profit driven,” so they are pushed by the wayside. It is up to the educated consumers (yes, you) to find out about them on their own.
Even THEN, the answers seem confusing. Take nutrition … should we eat LOW fat or HEALTHY fat … should we eat soy products or NOT soy products? Rather than answer these things here, I will send you to that “other” nutrition blog of mine … but bring us back on task HERE for more info on the energy balancing that I did for Claire. Sorry for the tangent, but I get very emotional about these things! [smile]
So, I knew that Claire’s energy needed balancing because she was showing us this in sooo many ways (her pacing, her high anxiety levels, her lack of focus). When one’s energy is truly balanced, he or she doesn’t experience these things.
Therefore, since I was also initially trying to determine food allergies, like gluten and dairy, I took her to a chiropractic clinic that would use kinesiology to help us determine this.
What I learned from this experience was that when she IS in balance, her body told us that she was NOT allergic to these foods. When her body is OUT of balance, however, then her body showed us that it IS allergic to these foods.
We therefore now limit the gluten and the dairy on a daily basis, but my overall goal with her is to eliminate the PROCESSED foods, and these foods are highly processed anyway, so we work hard to eliminate them. I have found that it’s been amazingly easy for her to give up the gluten and the dairy. It’s the SUGAR she has more trouble with avoiding on her own, and she is indeed VERY sensitive to sweeteners. After eating them is exactly WHEN she bounces off walls and can’t sleep at night!!!
The other interesting thing we also learned through the nervous system scan at the chiropractic visit, was that Steph shows a lot more balance in her “yin” very little balance in her “yang,” which would fit with her tendency to want to “please others” vs. her inability to stand up for herself in times of conflict.
(This was not really “new information” for me, but it was VERY nice to have this information reinforced to Claire from a professional who could “show it to her on paper.”)
Claire also received Reiki treatments from a very talented and generous friend of mine, but I will go into this with much more detail in my next blog entry.
The other energy balancing treatment we have included that I want to mention though, is Ondamed. This is VERY new in that it has taken many years to formulate the equipment, and there are probably not many practitioners out there yet … so sometimes you must travel to reach them. Again, in my field, I MEET these professionals, and so I was lucky.
I took Claire to experience her first Ondamed session, and was amazed at just how “sensitive” she is to these energies. Ondamed uses an incredible range of all the frequencies to scan for imbalances and then to “feed” the body more of whatever frequencies it is calling for. Just the first diagnostic session took about an hour and a half, but Claire participated very well in the learning about her body and got to even "receive" for a very special ending.
Sure enough, the results of the diagnostics session showed that her body was asking for more in the “category” that helps to lessen anxiety and stress.
We also learned that her body is asking for more of the frequency of iron, so we know that means she doesn't have ENOUGH iron or is simply not ASSIMILATING the iron enough.
Claire was thus offered the frequency of iron as treatment to her body, but we are also now trying to increase her levels of iron through her diet (since a person who used to eat mostly cheese and pasta probably didn’t get very much). Although we all tend to think of red meat as our best source of iron, eating more dark green leafy veggies and dried dark fruits like raisins are also a good (and possibly even a BETTER) choice.
I must say that on the drives home from every one of these sessions, I always find Claire to be AWESOMELY centered and calm. It is as if she takes in every one of these frequencies to feed her soul!
The secret of ALL these energy-balancing techniques, however, is to use them ONLY as you SUPPLEMENT and help to "retrain" the person’s ability to find their OWN sense of balance within their every day lives.
This means that we spend lots of time helping Claire to learn how to balance herself … how to use “grounding” techniques as well as “meridian tapping techniques” to help her gain control.
And then, even after she has LEARNED these things, I find that I still need to constantly REMIND her to use them. She still doesn’t have the “instincts” for her own balanced health.
I remind myself that this is a PROCESS. It’s not easy to “reprogram” everything you’ve been taught!
So I try to experience my OWN "ups" and "downs" though this with compassion and patience, and "forgive" myself when I just don't want to do this anymore. [sad smile]
