Lesson Six: Energetic Healing



The Lesson:


Last week we had a brief overview of shamanic healing. The next two lessons focus on giving you more in depth information which you'll be able to apply to your life and practices. It is important to state at the onset of this lesson that healing abilities are NOT gifts given to the special few. They are skills which ANYONE can learn and use.


Shamanic medicine or healing techniques are energetic modalities which based on the quantum physics theory of the Holographic Universe which very basically states:


Shamanic healing, as in all types of holistic healing, works with the relationships between the body, mind, and spirit, or mind, energy, and matter.


The following material is taken from the Spiritwalker Realms' site. If you have visited it yet, you might. There is a lot of information there which can be applied to the course.

  • Vibrational: refers to subtle, electromagnetic energy which has varying frequencies and amplitudes.
  • Newtonian Reality: This theory sees the world as a mechanism and man as a machine controlled by the brain and nervous system computer. Einsteinian Reality This theory sees all matter as an expression of energy fields that interface with physical and cellular systems.

  • Quantum Physics: A science that does experiments in high energy particle physics which reveals that, at the particle level, all matter is energy.
  • Wholism or Holism: A healing modality which aims to treat the whole person - body, mind, and spirit - by treating the multidimensional system. A vibrational medicine which attempts to heal the physical body by integrating and balancing the higher energetic systems which create the physical, cellular patterns of manifestation.
  • Etheric Body: A type of holographic, magnetic grid which communicates with the electrically based matter and cells of the physical body.

    According to Newtonian Reality the universe is mechanical and humans are machines. Within this view Traditional medicine works to fix systems or replace 'parts' when the body machine breaks down, much like a Plummer or mechanic does. There is one question that the Newtonian model of reality fails to answer and that is: what is the vital force that animates the 'machinery' of man's living systems?

    To answer that question we must turn to Quantum Physics and Einstein. Experiments in high energy particle physics and Einstein's E=Mc2 prove that energy and matter are both vibrational fields that interact with the physical and cellular systems. This means that all matter (you, me, a tree, a rock, a planet)IS energy and is effected BY energy.

    Energy, therefore, is the vital force that animates man's living systems. What is this energy?

    Metaphysically, man's energy is known as the etheric body which has various levels that oscillate or vibrate at particular frequencies, or vibratory rates. This vibration rate is either harmonious and balanced or inharmonious and imbalanced. These two states result in health or illness.

    In 1940 Harold Burr found that baby salamanders possessed an energy field that was roughly the size and shape that the adult animal would be. The energy field contained an electrical axis which aligned with the brain and spinal cord and originated in the unfertilized egg of the developing salamander. He also discovered that seedlings possess an energy field that looks like the adult plant. And, in the same year, S. Kirlian developed electrographic techniques which could translate Burr's findings into a visual medium where one could actually see the electrical corona or 'aura' of living organism. Both men found that disease caused noticeable changes in color, size, and shape of the aura.

    These findings support the theory that the etheric body, or energy field, exists and contributes to the expression of the physical body. These findings also support Einstein and ancient Eastern belief systems that consider the human body to be a complex network of interwoven energy fields that are nourished and organized by subtle energetic systems which co-ordinate the life force within the body magnetically and electrically. Thus, if diseases can be detected at the etheric level, they can also be prevented before the illness reaches the physical body.

    What are diseases then?

    Physical diseases are the result of an imbalance or abnormal frequency shift within the body's subtle energy system. Such energy shifts are affected by emotions, nutrition, environment, and spiritual.

    How is the etheric or energetic boy accessed in order to promote health?

    Let's define health as a total balance between the body, mind, and spirit. Vibrational medicine uses subtle or electromagnetic energy to balance or harmonize the body's energy fields in order to prevent or correct a physical manifestation of these etheric imbalances. This corrective vibratory frequency is directed into the body via the multidimensional anatomy which consists of meridians, chakras, and nadis, which are connected to the body's electrical system and correspond to the various layers of the etheric body.

    The Chinese gave us a map of over 20 basic energy pathways or meridians, that make a complete circuit in the body within 24 hours. These pathways are all interconnected (gee, there's a surprise!) There are also several hundred acu-point entry-ways or windows that allow us direct access to these energy flows. And India gave us the 7 chakra system; chakras are also interconnected. These systems outline the paths and centers and reveal how they correlate to body organs, glands, emotional states, and consciousness. Here's the key: when the PATHWAYS are open energy flows easily and grants health, emotional balance, mental clarity, and spiritual well being. When the pathways are blocked there are problems and/or disease.

    That is the end of the dry material. It gets easier from here on in.

    Now let's take a look at the seven chakras and learn how we might use them in healing work.

    The root or base chakra governs understanding the physical plane, fight or flight response, adrenal glands, kidneys, and the spinal column. Often is associated with the body, movement, and tactile senses. It relates to the will to live and supplies the body with physical vitality. Its color is red. To go here you might move your attention to the base of your spine, or the center of the area you're sitting on! Visualize a round, spinning vortex that is red and slide your awareness into it. Here you might gather information on your fears or the way you handle living on the physical plane.


    The sexual chakra (ovaries in women, the testes in men) governs creativity, attitudes in relationships, sex and reproduction. Often relates to the sensuality and sense emotions. Its color is orange. Slide your mind in thru an orange doorway. You might find out about love-life problems, sexual malfunctions, and ideas about child rearing here.
