21st Century Medicine to Balance your Energy

You are using a sharp knife to cut an apple, the knife slips and you nick yourself. There is no question in your mind that this will heal up in a day or two.
According to Dr Deepak Chopra: “…98 % of the atoms in your body were not there a year ago… You acquire a new skeleton every month… Your skin is new every month. You have a new stomach lining every four days with the actual surface cells that contact food being renewed every five minutes and a new liver every six weeks.” Impressive!
When something goes wrong in the body, cells literally race to the scene and know exactly what to do to help. So, who is sending the instructions? And, if our body is constantly renewing itself, why do pain, scarring and chronic illness persist?
Vibrational Medicine recognises that we can play a huge part in the process of instructing what can happen in our bodies through the mind body connection. Addressing certain aspects of our mental and emotional well being (as well as healthy nutrition, exercise and medicine) assists us greatly in forming a healthy body by ensuring the instructions to build are well given.
What is vibrational medicine exactly? It seems to be a buzz word in the natural health arena these days. Vibrational, or energy, medicine can include modalities such as homoeopathy, acupuncture, colour therapy, energy healing, flower essences, crystal therapy, sound therapy, Taiji, Qigong, Yoga, amongst others.
Still baffled? Well, energy medicine works with the concept that the human being is not just a bag of skin, muscles, organs, blood and bones. As well as the physical body we also have an energetic system which connects us to the wider energy of the universe and that the underlying cause of illness on a physical level can also be due to blockages in the energy system.
Traditional Asian medicine has known this to be true for thousands of years. The understanding of the energy system, in combination with well grounded physical medicines, assists the body to heal at a much deeper and more sustained level. It is now well known, and widely accepted even by mainstream medicine, that the mind creates all sorts of physical processes in the body, stress being one that’s very well highlighted at the moment. All your emotional states have some kind of effect; laughter boosts the immune system, depression suppresses it, restlessness can cause insomnia, anger heart problems, stress, fear or panic stimulates the adrenals which in turn causes all sorts of physical processes to occur.
Still not convinced? Try this visualization… imagine you are cutting a bright yellow, juicy lemon in half and putting it in your mouth and sucking it. Now what is going on in your mouth physically? You should be experiencing salivation and sensation in your mouth and tongue as if you had in fact sucked that lemon!!!! Mental processes deeply affect the physical body whether we like it or not.
Vibrational medicine focuses on bringing the emotional and energetic state into balance and harmony to assist the body to be healthy. This is done through an awareness of how physical parts of the body relate to and store emotional energies.
For instance, a client with throat problems such as constant tonsillitis, apart from needing physical things to alleviate symptoms, would also need to look at why they seem to suffer from throat problems all the time. Energetically one would look to see where creative and self expression is being blocked, make changes and offer treatment to free this up so that the physical symptoms don’t need to keep returning. This could involve prescribing vibrational medicines such as Agrimony, Bluebell and Lapis Lazuli essences to open up the energy centres in the throat and release the blockage causing the physical illness. The client may also need to learn to express themselves more freely, or unlock the innate preoccupation in regards the intake of wisdom.
