Introduction to Energy Therapy


What Is Energy Therapy
Our bodies are very complex. They have multiple systems that are constantly adapting to external and internal environments, all of which are controlled by the brain. What happens consciously is affecting our bodies and vice versa. Sometimes our sub-conscious is undermining us as well, and sometimes there are processes happening in our bodies that we are aware and unaware of, all of which are affecting our body, brain, and soul.
Our soul has a long history and is eternal. We are reactive beings. We are sensitive to the world around us and sometimes we adapt and sometimes we don't. We are sensitive to the people in our world and their beliefs and how these beliefs are taught to us, and unfortunately, sometimes they are forced upon us. When we become frustrated with the process, when we can no longer feel we are free to meet our goals, our systems go awry. Illness, frustration, stopping our progression in life, and negativity permeate our body and soul and well, you might feel like you are drowning. We decide we can get by without having met our goal, but our efforts, our body, our soul, all tell another story by developing ailments, damage, and illnesses.
These illnesses, disorders and bodily damage represent the final warning systems. These are messages from our body that are causing significant and possibly lethal outcomes. Energy Therapy tracks, sorts, finds, and clears the roots for these emotions and health issues. With positive affirmations and modifications, these things are cleared from the body, giving you a new starting point for healing.
Energy Therapy does not erase memories or events. It is not mind reading. A person doing the clearing will not have access to your deepest secrets. The main belief behind Energy Therapy is that if we clear the negative emotions we can jump start the body into healing itself of physical ailments, meaning that essential oils, homeopathic remedies, nutrition, and all of the other modalities available to humans may be part of the "pie" that makes  you whole again. While treating the symptoms and healing the emotions, we meet in the middle, permanently terminating the disorder and discord. Sometimes we may need to make corrective interventions along they way, but the ultimate goal is to be healed physically and emotionally.
When we get to a certain point in our lives, we realize we need to change the pattern. Many times we have come to accept the way things are and continue to resist, avoid, or deny the urges to change the patterns. Examples of this may be that you continue to attract the same kind of people into your life that are negative or abusive, you keep getting fired for the same reasons, or you constantly start something new but never see it to completion. As long as we settle for these outcomes, our symptoms will persist or worsen. Becoming aware of these emotions and things that need to change our lives lead us on the path to change and healing.

What I Do
I starting practicing Energy Therapy 4 years ago. Before that, I learned and worked with Feng Shui for 11 years (the study of people's relationship with their environment). I have come to love and appreciate the knowledge and gifts of these therapies. Taking time to understand the emotions that propel and delay our body and progression in life have been monumental. I am a Christian and I believe in the healing powers of God and Angels, and believe that we have been separated from our Heavenly Father to be tested in a mortal life. Having the opportunity to call upon God, use these other methods of healing the body and soul, and being able to change my perspective have helped me to understand the things that happen to make up my life and have faith for the things that I don't understand yet.

How to Prepare for an Energy Therapy 
Make a list. Start with physical problems (i.e., lower back, right shoulder, left eye twitches, acne). You don't have to go into great detail, but be specific. Is the pain stabbing? Aching? Is it on the left or right side? Do you notice a pattern? Next move onto life events. Even good life events can be stressful, so take note. Do you need to change your job? Are you unhappy in your house? Is this pregnancy scary, hard, unplanned? Is there never enough money? Finally, review your list. Even if there are small things that seem insignificant, but keep coming to mind, put them on the list.

More Information
There are some wonderful books about emotions and healing. A lot of other things tie into Energy Therapy, like Chakras, Auras, EFT, and Generational Issues. There are also many different ways of doing Energy Therapy as well. Carol Tuttle (one of my favorites) focuses on 4 types of energies in people. This was one of the more insightful methods I learned about early on and it helped me understand who I was and why I do/like some of the things I do. I first learned about emotions causing physical ailments from Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol Truman.

Essential Oils for Ear Infections


My youngest son is plagued with ear infections. Even after ear tubes were put in, and numerous rounds of antibiotics, we found treating with essential oils were more helpful sometimes. These are some suggestions for Ear Blends. Never drop oils directly in the ear canal. You may apply the oils to a cotton ball and place that in the ear, or rub the oils behind the ear. Also, a warm compress with 2 drops of Basil will help to sooth the ear pain.

Basil

Lavender and Basil

Tea Tree Oil and Lavender

I made this blend and had the most success with it. After adding the oils, fill the rest of the bottle with a carrier oil. I prefer to use Fractionated Coconut Oil. If it is hot, you can also apply it on the feet.
3 drops Bergamot
2 drops Black Pepper
3 drops Cinnamon
3 drops Clove Bud
2 drops Eucalyptus
3 drops Lemon, Lime, and Orange
3 drops Ginger
3 drops Basil

Using Homeopathy to Treat Disease


I'm posting this list here for you to print off and store with a homeopathic kit should you have one. If you are new to homeopathic medicine, remedies are often abbreviated. The books list the abbreviations with the name of the remedy. Dosages for taking homeopathic remedies are usually standard for every remedy.

These are the rules you need to remember:

Do not let the remedy touch anything. If you drop a pellet on a table, do not ingest it. Proper administration is to pour 3-5 pellets into the lid and dump them into your mouth, being careful not to let saliva get into the lid.

Most remedies act almost immediately.

Nux Vomica will usually clear any remedies taken previously. Mint can too, such as brushing your teeth with toothpaste.

Do not eat or drink anything within 15 minutes of taking a remedy. Milk will also alter the effectiveness, so avoid milk for about 15 minutes before or after taking a remedy.

The following is a list of diseases that usually occur when vaccines are not available or in unfavorable conditions:

Anthrax: acon, apis, arn, echin, lach, led
Appendicitis: ars, bry, echin, lach, nux.v, rhus.t.
Bubonic Plague: anthrae, ars, ign, lach, naja, rhus.t

*I'm not suggesting these be used instead of medical treatment, but to be used with modern medicine, or to be used if modern medicine is not available. I have been using homeopathy for 5 years with very good results, however, I am not a homeopath, or doctor. My highest recommendation is to get a book for yourself to study.

Homeopathy Medicine

Homeopathy Medicine is Homeopathy is a gentle, holistic system of healing, suitable for everyone, young and old. Homeopathy focuses on you as an individual, concentrating on treating your specific physical and emotional symptoms, to give long lasting benefits.

The therapy is based on the theory of treating “like with like”. Homeopathic remedies are diluted natural substances that if given to a healthy person, would produce the symptoms the medicine is prescribed for. In the assessment of you, the patient, homeopaths will take into account the range of physical, emotional and lifestyle factors in order to prescribe the right medicine(s).

Homeopathy has been used in the UK for over two hundred years, but has an honourable tradition dating back to ancient Greece. It was Samuel Hahnemann, a brilliant doctor working in 1796 who developed the scientific and philosophical foundations of this gentler way of healing. These scientific principles form the basis of successful homeopathic practice today.

Homeopathy is safe, will not interfere with prescription medications, and can be given to newborns to centurions.

Two sites that offer remedies and more information are:
www.homeopathy-soh.org
www.homeopathyworks.com

Homeopathyworks offeres a 100 Most Common Remedies kit, which has most remedies that would be needed for pretty much any ailment. These can be used for childbirth. They can be used for pets. It comes in a red box that looks like an ammo box. For hundreds of years, this has been the standard storage receptacle. It is best to buy a "materia medica" book for homeopathy so that you have more detailed information for diagnostic purposes.

Homeopathy for Pregnancy, Birth, and Your Baby's First Year
