Speaking of Energy Medicine
My first experience of energy medicine was about 23 years ago when I was quite stressed out and sitting at an outdoor table in front of a Victorian building I had restored on the Strand in Galveston. I felt that I was in way over my head at the time, hence the stress. A paralegal with my husband's law firm was sitting next to me alongside some other friends. I was talking about how overwhelming my life was at that point, raising two young children, doing the expected Junior League volunteer work, and restoring our historic buildings and leasing them out. Casey, the paralegal, asked if it would be okay if she touched my back. I consented. She put her hand over one of my adrenal glands, and it felt as if someone poured a dense, calming liquid into my body. I could feel it move all over my insides, relaxing and soothing me.
I probably had a surprised look on my face, and turned to her and said, "What is that? I can feel something moving all through my body!" She smiled and replied, "That is Reiki." That was my first experience of energy medicine. I definitely could feel it, even though I had absolutely no prior conscious knowledge of it at all. I had no expectation that I would feel anything, and yet I can still vividly recall the strong sensation of her hand on my back that day.
I suppose that there must have been some further conversations on the subject, I do not recall, it was a long time ago. But there must have been, as she ended up initiating me into Reiki levels one and two. She is the one who, after one of the initiations, suggested I put my hands on her shoulders, close my eyes and look inside her body, affording me my first look at the inside of a human body. I found to my surprise that I actually could see inside the body easily! I saw sticky brown stuff inside her lungs, and she reminded me that she was a smoker. I saw other things, too, and yet amazed her by noticing a small red thing on the inside of her outer right ankle. She had cut herself shaving her legs that morning, and was wearing pants, so I could not have possibly known about that cut. This was the beginning of an amazing journey.
Later, after I had been initiated into Reiki, I curiously tried experiments with other friends of mine. Remember, this is the mid to late 1980's, to my knowledge, almost few knew about this kind of thing. Everyone felt something way beyond just a warm hand. They all asked what it was, with surprise on their faces. People can feel Reiki who are not expecting to feel it,.
Then in May of 1988, I was initiated by someone else as a Reiki Master. I have since initiated hundreds of people myself. Energy medicine is nothing new to me now.The energy coming out of each person's hands is unique. It is an energy signature, as different as each person's handwriting.
Another form of energy medicine I have experienced is Sat Nam Rasayan, with Guru Dev, from Rome. This is a form of energy medicine that was developed a long time ago by Kundalini Yoga masters. I will never forget the power of those energy sessions with him.
My next surprising leap where energy medicine is concerned came in March of 2002, when I took my first BodyTalk class. I had been practicing massage therapy and Reiki for years before I discovered BodyTalk. This is a powerful form of energy medicine, with its roots in Reiki, and I have personally seen it cure the so-called incurable; not every time, but often. It can give hope to the hopeless. This synthesis of energy medicine was brought to the planet via JohnVeltheim, who is an Australian chiropractor/acupuncturist now living in Florida. BodyTalk is a brilliant synthesis of many healing modalities. I have studied BodyTalk all the way through to the latest developments, and most of my classes were with Dr. Veltheim, though he has hundreds of instructors.
I have been practicing energy medicine full-time for over fifteen years now. It has been a pleasure to work especially with BodyTalk, and to get acquainted with its founder Dr. John Veltheim, who is a very dynamic, interesting human being. I do not always agree totally with his spiritual philosophy, but he has definitely brought to the planet a very powerful healing technique.
Some different forms of energy medicine include cranio-sacral therapy, Neuro-Emotional Technique, Psych-K, EFT, and acupuncture, which is quite ancient. Like acupuncture, medical chi gong is another ancient form of energy medicine, and it started long ago with Chinese shamans called Wu Ji doctors, who could also manipulate energy. Twenty-first century humanity is not just now "inventing" energy medicine, yet it has been around for millennia. In actuality,we are just re-awakening to it. We are convincing ourselves that it is okay to notice it, since we have machines now which can measure it. Apparently, it is okay to observe this kind of thing with a machine but not with your own sensory input!
Lastly, a very new form of energy medicine is EDINA . It works on the energy field all the way out to the 12th dimension/density (for want of a better word,) to help with the ascension process. This one I am bringing into the planet myself. It is rooted in the same source as Reiki, but is more far-reaching. While we are now awakening to ancient methods, we are also designing new ones, because humanity is finally ready! We live in exciting times.
