Energy healing

Energy and energy healing was the theme of the November 2005 issue of The Good Life.

The entire issue of the newsletter was devoted to the exploring the reality that, at the basic level, you and I and everything else are all energy. The issue explored topics such as auras, sensing and seeing auras, aura photography as well as experiencing energy with the pendulum and using L-rods.

Other topics included hand energy healing, energy medicine, energy exercises and the energy of cooking.

Below are short summaries, with links to the articles on energy healing:

Everything is energy	We are energy. You and I and everyone else – and everything else – are masses of energy. All matter is energy.
Experiencing energy fields with pendulums ... and L-rods	A Pendulum may be a small metallic dome with a pointed tip, or a piece of crystal, attached to a chain. Have two people one male, one female to volunteer for this demonstration. My first experience with L rods was in 1991, when I met Fr John Mary Chin, a Catholic priest who is also a water diviner. His demonstration of water divining was simple yet amazing.
Energy in your hands	Hands have always been used for healing. Because they can also be used to manipulate a person’s energy field...Hand healing is depicted in cave drawing in the Pyrenees, which are 15,000 years old.
No reiki for me	I don’t feel comfortable with the way Reiki is promoted as something special, magical and shrouded in secrecy,,, Equally discomforting to me is the fact that “advancement” comes with a big price tag.
Auras - what are they?	An aura is a subtle, “invisible” essence or fluid that emanates from all things living and non-living. It is an electromagnetic field creating a force field which people have long known to circulate around through the body as electrical currents.
How to sense and see auras?	To see auras, try this exercise... Begin by rubbing your palms together rapidly to increase the energy. Then, holding your hands at arm’s length against the ceiling, palms facing you, notice the space between the fingers of your two hands.
Aura photography	The first aura pictures were produced back in the 1880s by physicist Nikola Telsa. He took pictures not only of finger tip auras, but of entire body auras, which he called “corona discharges”.
The healing energy of love	Love, too, is a form of energy. It is not just an emotion, but also a real force which we can feel physically, much like the energy in our hands.
Energy Medicine	Acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic.... these are all forms of energy healing. Most complementary and alternative therapies understand the body – and health and illness – in terms of energy.
Energy exercises	Taiqi, qigong, yoga... these are energy exercises – they exercise the energy field rather than the physical body, leaving you feeling rafreshed, rather than exhausted.
The energy of food	Here, energy refers not to calories, but to the energy nature - in terms of expanding and contracting energy. Understanding this helps us appreciate the old saying that "you are what you eat”.
Negative energy influences	Modern life is full of negative energy influences – mobile phones, air-conditioning, microwave ovens... even negative people. Minimise your exposure and learn to overcome their effects.
