Energy Medicine The Future of Healing: by Kimberly J. Davis

Due to the change in our political climate, there is much panic, concern and fear regarding the ability to afford rising health care and prescription medicine costs. It is a very realistic concern with the imminent danger of losing affordable health insurance knocking at our doors. Now is the time to take ownership of your personal health care needs and look at alternative methods and approaches to get and stay well. Many of these alternative approaches are ancient and have been practiced for thousands of years by indigenous cultures who believed that all healing was within themselves and the land. The true foundation of holistic healing is acknowledging the fact that the human body is designed to cure and heal itself, if you create the right environment within your body to keep it centered, balanced and free from poisons and toxins. The creation of this environment begins with Energy. Primarily healing is achieved by bringing energy into all aspects of the body – Mental, Physical, Spiritual and Emotional to create and maintain a state of wellness and balance.
What is Energy Medicine? Energy Medicine refers to a broad range of therapies that have one thing in common. They all consider the fact that humans have an energetic system that supports and nourishes the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of the body. Energy medicine is both a complement to other approaches to medical care and a complete system for self­care and self­help. It can address physical illness and emotional or mental disorders, and can also promote high­level wellness and peak performance. Healing occurs through the activation of natural healing energies and restoring energies that have become weak, disturbed, or out of balance. Some of the more common advanced energy healing techniques and modalities include Reiki, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, Yoga, Emotional Freedom Technique( E. F. T), Kinesiology, Qi Gong, and Sound & Vibrational Healing, just to name a few. All of these modalities of healing are available at healing centers, like the Journey to Wholeness Center, for individuals actively seeking an alternative approach to healing.
Simple Energy Medicines & Practices There are also some basic energy medicines and practices that you can begin to incorporate into your life today without going to a healing center or working with a practitioner.
