Bio-Energy
Bio-Energy Therapy is considered to be beneficial for most medical and
psychological problems. It is a form of complimentary medicine (alternative
medicine) based on an ancient theory that all illnesses are caused by a
disturbance to the flow of energy within the body.
According to bio-energy theory there are seven main energy centres in the body
and energy flows into the body from the environment. This energy circulates
within the body between these energy centres via a system of channels similar to
blood vessels and it flows back into the environment again. These channels are
referred to as meridians in Acupuncture and nadis in Ayurvedic Medicine in
India. The bio-energy is referred to as "chi" in Chinese Medicine and as "prana"
in Ayurvedic Medicine. Bio-energy is in a state of continuous flow throughout
the body and the channels can be mapped out by measuring the variations in
electrical skin resistance.
Even Western Medicine recognises that disturbances to the flow of energy is
indicative of an illness and records the flow of electrical energy within the
body. Western doctors records electrical activity of the heart by
Electrocardiography (ECG), electrical activity of the brain by
Electroencephalography (EEG), and electrical activity of the muscles by
Electromyography (EMG). There is also electrical activity in other organs and
parts of the body.
This flow of bio-energy within the body creates a magnetic field around the body
referred to as the aura. When there is a disturbance to the flow of bio-energy
such as a blockage, depletion or an oversupply of energy to one part of the
body, it manifests as an illness at a later date. This disturbance to the
bio-energy flow can be detected even before an illness starts by scanning the
magnetic field of the patient.
A bio-energy therapist is able to diagnose a disturbance to the flow of
bio-energy by scanning the energy field of the patient using a series of hand
movements. The therapist is then able to correct this energy imbalance by
manipulating the energy, using another series of hand movements. Therapy is
carried out over four consecutive days and each session lasts about half an
hour. As the treatment is being carried out, many patients report feelings of
heat, tingling, coolness, or a pulling sensation. These are subjective aspects
of bio-energy balancing and release taking place within the body.
The Bio-Energy Therapist does not even have to touch the patient and there are
no medications to take. There may be slight worsening of the condition after the
third day of the treatment, which is an important part of the healing process
and is usually, a good sign indicating a return to health.
Bio-energy can be a complementary therapy (alternative therapy) to any other
medical treatment or therapy the patient may be having and the patients are
advised not to stop or change their medications without consulting their doctor.
Bio-Energy Therapy is also preventative because a bio-energy imbalance may be
corrected before it manifests as an illness. To receive the full benefit of
Bio-Energy Therapy it is important to attend therapy on four consecutive days.
