Comments for Energy Healing, a Personal Story at http://www.polarisrising.com , comment 1 to 9 out of 9 comments http://www.polarisrising.com Sun, 21 Mar 2010 18:07:46 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.polarisrising.com/?catid=0#comment-72 Herbert and J.D., your comments are similar so I'll approach them together. Firstly, there's an article on the site What Is Energy Work [url]http://www.polarisrising.com/what-is-energy-work.html[/url] for Polaris' perspective. Secondly, and perhaps this will develop into an article of its own, what energy work can be used for depends widely upon the personal beliefs of the person involved and the circumstances. The body has the theoretic capability of healing itself instantly, but even I would be extremely surprised at someone regrowing a severed limb, say, in an instant. My belief system doesn't quite support that (although I think it'd be totally cool), although it does support healing broken bones quickly (rather than instantly). It depends, then, what energy healing can be used for. It's impossible to heal someone else who does not choose healing. When learning Reiki, for instance, the very first thing learned is the fact that permission — on some level — must be gotten from the patient for healing to take place. This holds true for any sort of healing. Yes, it can be used to heal cancer (and there's lots of anecdotal evidence about people healing themselves of cancer), but if the person is choosing on some level, including on a soul level, to experience cancer then healing will be impossible. But again, it's theoretically possible to heal illness, cancer, and other diseases. It's impossible also to heal yourself if you don't wish it for some reason. Reasons (on a soul level; we're usually not consciously aware of this) to wish illness could range from simply needing a rest to wishing to experience the act of receiving help to wishing to create physical changes in the body through illness. Contraindications to energy healing? Again, most of us don't hold belief systems that allow for instantaneous healing. This has a lot to do with the culture we're in. So of course, if there's any sort of emergency you'd want to see a doctor or professional. There's also the issue of time involved ... it can take time to allow for energetic healing, especially if you're working through the other effects of it (energy healing of course affects one on a number of levels, not just physically). Also, there is a place for medications like antibiotics (woefully overused these days) so it's good to be judicious. If you're sick and just get too worn down to support your own healing, then it's time to seek help. Great questions! Thanks for asking.

It increases the body's own healing response. It can be used in co-operation with anything, including drugs. If you mean use energy work exclusively, that's another question entirely. I would use energy work in co-operation with another insight tool when it's very clear that my problems have inner sources that I want to address. But it takes willingness: as a culture we tend to not believe in the power of inner work, which is a huge speed bump towards change. - lovingawareness Thu, 09 Jul 2009 06:56:41 +0100 http://www.polarisrising.com/?catid=0#comment-70 To recap this, you broke your foot when a motorcycle landed on it and you energy healed it? Within days? ... I'm a fan of amazing healing stories. When is energy not the answer? (for example, if I accidentally cut off my thumb, is that a case where some stitching would be a good move? ... what's the map of the right tool for the job?) - J.D. Meier Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:21:10 +0100 http://www.polarisrising.com/?catid=0#comment-69 This is my first time going on your site, and I must say that I'm quite impressed with the speedy progress -- which provokes the question "what exactly is energy healing?" Secondly, can energy healing work against illness? I've got this annoying cough that just won't go away, haha. - Herbert Mon, 06 Jul 2009 07:25:00 +0100 http://www.polarisrising.com/?catid=0#comment-66 I'd like to get some formal Reiki training. I've worked with energy for years informally from a martial arts background, channeling through the hands, extending with visualization, and so forth and I've had some very good results using dowsing as a healing tool. But some hands-on training to focus and expand would be great. I'm encouraged to seek this out in 09. - Aaron Whiston Sat, 04 Jul 2009 08:09:24 +0100 http://www.polarisrising.com/?catid=0#comment-63 I don't know - as someone with a science background I know there's no double blind studies on it. On the other hand, I also know of hospitals who encourage energy healers to come in because it does honestly improve the healing response. Getting double blind studies takes funding, and the AMA has a knee-jerk reaction against anything alternative. Such is the medical system now. It's amazing how many people think Jesus did heal the sick and raise the dead - and then disbelieve energy healing is possible. :-) I think there's both truth in it and amazing results possible - as well as having some flaky individuals who proclaim they can heal anything and don't. Results are always impressive. I look forward to the day when what we term "energy" or "life force" is measurable by science. Probably the worst scientific assumption that's commonly present is "if we can't measure it, it doesn't exist". - Matthew Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:26:00 +0100 http://www.polarisrising.com/?catid=0#comment-62 interesting post but hard to believe reiki or other energy healing - imhkki Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:13:40 +0100 http://www.polarisrising.com/?catid=0#comment-59 I hope it is ok with you, I added your link to my blogroll.

I have a very dear friend that is an energy healer and I go to her as often as I can. It is amazing the way it works, just incredible. I have taken my granddaughter with me on several occasions and she tells everyone how good it works. There is nothing better. I love you site and I will be back soon.
