The Future of Energy Medicine

Energy medicine falls within the domain of "complementary and alternative medicine." It is considered to be a complement to medical care as well as a complete system for self-care. Energy healing not only addresses physical illness, but emotional or mental disorders as well.

The U.S. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine divides energy healing approaches into two general categories. The first type is "Veritable Energy Medicine" which includes light and magnet therapy, collectively referred to as electromagnetic therapy. These therapies rely on known forms of energy. The second type is "Putative Energy Medicine," regarded as theorized forms of energy, unconfirmed by scientific investigation. Use of the term "energy medicine" has been in use since the 1980s with the founding of the non-profit International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine.




There are prominent and influential   Western leaders emerging in the field of energy medicine. The Rev. Rosalyn Bruyere, founder of the Healing Light Center Church in California has influenced most of the healers in the United States including many of the nurses who have studied therapeutic touch as well as Barbara Brennan, PhD who directs a school for healing science in Florida. (Goldner, 1999)

Other Western leaders in holistic medicine include: Deepak Chopra, MD, an advocate of meditation; Dr. Jon-Kabat Zinn, founder of a stress-reduction clinic at the University of Massachusetts; and, cardiologist Dr. Dean Ornish, an expert on reversing heart disease through diet, yoga and meditation. They found that calmness and self-knowledge gained through meditation may have therapeutic biological effects.

In the 1990s, three mainstream doctors published books on the interaction of the human energy field and medicine. Christine Northrop, MD, wrote about energy anatomy in her best-selling book, Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom. Judith Orloff, MD, wrote about clairvoyance in the practice of psychiatry in her book, Second Sight. Psychiatrist and neuroscientist Mona Lisa Schultz, MD wrote, Awakening Intuition, which explains how to use the mind-body network for insight and healing.

In the 1980s, C. Norman Shealy, MD, grounded holistic and energy medicine into mainstream acceptability with his study and training of medical intuitives. His groundbreaking research with clairvoyant Caroline Myss, PhD, created the accepted definition of the term “medical intuitive.” In the 1970s Dr. Shealy was one of the prime founders of the American Holistic Medical and Nurses Associations. Dr. Shealy created the first degree granting Energy Medicine Program within Greenwich University. This program participated in a new academic paradigm for the study of biology and medicine based on energy-information.


Energy Medicine - A Quick Take On A Deep Subject

What is vitality prescription? 


A dubious part of Holistic Medicine which recognizes the nearness and impact of undetectable and fluidly quantifiable powers upon or physical, passionate, mental and otherworldly wellbeing. 

What do you mean by "imperceptible powers"? 


A power is any impact that incites change. The noticeable impact or power of your hand pressing on an aluminum can incites an adjustment in the state of the can. The imperceptible power of gravity makes you tumble to the ground in the event that you venture off a housetop. Other undetectable powers could incorporate basic ones like power and attraction and in addition the notable "mental powers" of blame, disgrace, outrage, delight, and so on. Different less comprehended powers may incorporate those that different all encompassing conventions have alluded to as life compel, indispensable power, prana, chi, inborn knowledge, soul and others. 

What are a few models of vitality drug? 


From the ordinary universe of prescription one could consider demonstrative investigations like the EKG, EEG and MRI as precedents of vitality medication analytic procedures. 

From the option and all encompassing world precedents could incorporate homeopathy, Reiki, NAET, needle therapy/pressure point massage, Emotional Freedom Technique, Tai Chi/Chi Gong, positive goal, petition among numerous others. 

Is this stuff genuine? 

A qualified yes is the appropriate response as a few kinds of vitality are effectively estimated and shown and others are most certainly not. 

Consider a normal EKG or heart following. How might setting anodes on your arms, legs and chest disclose to us something about the strength of your heart? 

The appropriate response is found by understanding that the heart has cells that demonstration like programmed batteries and different cells that demonstration like electrical wires to direct electrical data about how it should work. 

Heart work in this manner relies upon electrical properties. That electrical mark is refined by referencing the electrical field that is additionally quantifiable in the arms, legs and produced over the chest - despite the fact that this is some separation far from the physical heart itself. 

Consider the MRI examine which develops a picture of our body dependent on control of its attractive properties. 

Different types of vitality prescription, for example, the all encompassing precedents noted above are less substantial yet perceivable and quantifiable in their own specific manner. They are accepted to deal with a more unobtrusive electro-attractive level to such an extent that current ordinary methods for estimation are less predictable. 

While the correct instruments by which they work are not obviously comprehended, the impacts of the methods are regularly indicated as the proof of their reality and adequacy. 

By what method Can Energy Medicine Help Me? 


With the cutting edge understanding that vitality underlies all issue, one would then be able to think about numerous ailments, which are material and unmistakable conditions of brokenness, to be affected if not managed by an irregular vitality state. How much these strange vitality states can be precisely found and amended, a considerable lot of the outward unmistakable indications of sickness might be in this way mitigated. 

Practically speaking this methodology appears to work best for issues that have not forever changed or annihilated organs or which are generally profoundly dug in. Other more material types of treatment supplement this methodology also, for example, legitimate sustenance, way of life change, supplementation, stretch decrease, and so on. 

Vitality medication strategies while to some degree indistinct and questionable on occasion, are helpful techniques which frequently compliment the more clear and substantial methods for treatment. At last, predictable alleviation of indications and inversion of basic makes proceeds be the objective of any balanced all encompassing treatment program.



Holistic Medicine in Mainstream Healthcare

In the past decade, holistic medicine has become a recognizable presence in the healthcare field. Holistic medicine modalities are being taught to hospital staff at California Pacific Medical Center, Health and Healing Clinic in San Francisco. Medical Intuitives are sitting in surgery rooms at Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto, California. Energy medicine documentation forms for medical insurance claims have been available on the Internet since January 1999. (Henderson, 1999)

Hospitals, surgery rooms, medical clinics, insurance companies, and burgeoning academic programs have grounded holistic/energy medicine into the present. Courses on the role of religious devotion and prayer in healing are currently being taught in approximately 50 U.S. medical schools. This is an historic development, a stunning reversal of the exclusion of these factors from medical education for most of the twentieth century. In addition, conventional medical journals, such as the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), are increasingly willing to publish studies involving unconventional therapies. JAMA's issue of November 11, 1998, was devoted exclusively to the field of alternative medicine.


National Statistics For Energy medicine


  • The National Center for Complementary & Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) reports that more than 42% of Americans use alternative medicine to address their health and wellness concerns.
  • The budget for the NCCAM rose from $2 million in 1993 to $50 million in 1999.
  • In addition, Americans spent more than $28 billion on these therapies in 1998, exceeding out-of-pocket spending for all USA hospitalizations.
  • The Journal of the American Medical Association reports a 48.3% increase in total visits to alternative medicine practitioners between 1990 and 1998.
  • A 1994 published survey revealed that more than 60% of doctors from a wide range of specialties recommended alternative modalities to patients at least once. The same study also reported that 48% of those doctors used alternative modalities themselves.
  • Nearly 85% of USA medical schools offer elective courses in alternative and complementary medicine or include it in required courses.
  • In 1993, the New England Journal of Medicine reported that more than 34% of all Americans have used some form of alternative medicine. A 1998 follow-up study showed that this figure increased to 42% of all Americans.

Holistic Medicine Meets Western Medicine


A groundbreaking move was made by the American Board of Holistic Medicine (ABHM) in December, 2000; the first ABHM board review of holistic medicine, The “Art, Science, and Practice of Holistic Medicine” was presented in Denver, Colorado. Approximately 200 MDs sat for the first ABHM certification examination.

The opening statement of the Art, Science, and Practice of Holistic Medicine course included this statement:

Holistic medicine is based on the core belief that unconditional love is life’s most powerful healer. At its essence, the practice of holistic medicine embraces a spirit of interdisciplinary and physician-patient cooperation; balances the mitigation of causes with relief of symptoms; integrates conventional and complementary therapies; and facilitates the experience of being fully alive. It is at present not possible to fully academically test candidates for these core issues in holism. It has been the intent of the directors of the ABHM, however, to carefully structure the testing for skills in complementary medicine, the interview and the required paper for candidates for the board examination, in the content of this review course itself, to be a total learning experience for those in attendance to foster the enhancement of the practice of holistic medicine.

The review course and the board certification examination will begin to incorporate reasonable standards into American medical practice and education, health planning, and research, regarding the application of the body of knowledge which encompasses the field of holistic medicine. The ABHM founders envisioned a paradigm shift in the direction of incorporating holistic principles into the practice of medicine in the United States. Standardization of the curriculum and the certification examination will help the public demand and professional interest in the inclusion of “alternative” medical practices in the integrated delivery of the best possible medical care.

This board certification examination opened a new chapter of holistic/energy medicine in the history of science. The ABHM board of trustees established twelve principles of holistic medical practice; twelve areas of the science of holistic medicine were approved; and three components of holistic health — body, mind, and spirit — were defined. During the first board review course intensive, thirty-two specific holistic courses were presented by thirty medical and osteopathic doctors. Each physician presented a course designed to introduce his or her specialty, and taught a complementary allopathic to holistic approach. The learning objective of this intensive review course of holistic medicine was that the participants should be able to, “…describe the areas encompassed by holistic medicine; and implement a personalized program for creating a condition of optimal health.” (The Art, Science, and Practice of Holistic Medicine, 2000)

  1. Gemstone energy medicine is essential for complete healing because gemstone energies can harmonize and heal emotions and thoughts, dissipate disharmonious effluent, and deal directly with energetic counterparts. No other healing modality can do this as efficiently and effectively as gemstone therapy. Plus, gemstone energy medicine can be applied safely along with other healing modalities, medicines, and herbs that focus on healing the physical tissue.
