WHAT IS ENERGY MEDICINE?
By Cindy Fulton Carse, MA, NCTMB
Optimum health is your birthright. Your body has an innate drive to function at its highest possible state of health. When you have symptoms, it is your body telling you that something is not in balance.
Many things can be done to treat symptoms, and although they may help for the moment, treating symptoms will not take care of the original cause, but simply mask it. Most likely, the imbalance will continue and will show up at a later time, in some other fashion, requiring stronger and stronger forms of symptom relief.
What is really needed is for us to slow down enough to notice the imbalance and take steps to bring things back into optimum balance. It is my personal experience that once this state of balance is achieved, symptoms improve.
This is the gift of Energy Medicine … supporting our return to an optimum, healthy state of being.
In simple terms, Energy Medicine (also referred to as energy work, subtle energy healing, vibrational medicine, spiritual healing and energy-based therapies) is a broad label for various types of healthcare and healing work that provide treatment through balancing the human energy system. Energy Medicine techniques are used to work with the natural healing ability of the body.
Energy Medicine is also a complex science and an intuitive healing art, a unique blending of Western scientific understanding and Eastern cultural and spiritual tradition.
