In today’s global society, we’re able to tap into some
non-conventional or alternative healing practices from around the world
to round out the conventional Western medical practices.
With any illness, medical or emotional, it’s important that we explore
all options available on the market to assist in our well-being. Take
responsibility for your health and be an active participant. This holistic
approach has been around for centuries; many people today are familiar
with chiropractic, acupuncture, and naturopathy. This newer wellness industry
has a groundswell of believers and it’s projected to have a 25 per
cent growth in 2008. In the quest to make changes in your life, empowerment
sessions will include any or incorporate all of the following modalities.
Medical intuitive – quantum healing
charts
This technique is used to help the practitioner tap into the collective
consciousness to uncover the original thought process that manifested
an issue. By using quantum healing, you can get to the root of the problem
so healing can begin. Deepak Chopra is a physician whose unhappiness with
Western medicine led him to search for an alternative, and describes quantum
healing:
“Quantum healing is healing the bodymind from a quantum level. That
means from a level which is not manifest at a sensory level. Our bodies
ultimately are fields of information, intelligence and energy. Quantum
healing involves a shift in the fields of energy information, so as to
bring about a correction in an idea that has gone wrong. So quantum healing
involves healing one mode of consciousness, mind, to bring about changes
in another mode of consciousness, body.”
Neuro-Linguistic Programming™
NLP is a behavioral technology, which simply means that it’s a set
of guiding principles, attitudes and techniques about real-life behavior
and not a removed, scientific theorem. It allows you to change, adopt
or eliminate behaviours, as you desire, and gives you the ability to choose
your mental, emotional, and physical states of well-being. NLP is delivered
in a hypnosis style format; however, the client’s conscious mind
hears all and is aware of everything discussed while the unconscious mind
makes the changes.
“Neuro-Linguistic Programming was specifically created in order
to allow us to do magic by creating new ways of understanding how verbal
and non-verbal communication affect the human brain.
As such it presents us all with the opportunity to not only communicate
better with others, but also learn how to gain more control over what
we considered
to be automatic functions of our own neurology.” (Dr. Richard Bandler,
co-developer of NLP)
Healing Touch/ Reiki Therapy
Healing Touch is a complementary (or integrative) energy therapy that
can be used in conjunction with traditional therapies or as a stand-alone
treatment. It’s similar to Reiki Therapy because it involves the
transfer of energy from practitioner to patient and claims to enhance
the body’s natural ability to heal itself through the balancing
of energy. Healing Touch and Reiki utilize specific techniques for restoring
and balancing the natural life force energy within the body. It’s
a holistic, natural, hands-on energy healing system that touches on all
levels: body, mind, and spirit.
Kinesiology and Total Body Modification
(TBM)
Kinesiology is a form of neuro biofeedback that allows the practitioner
to access stressors to the body, whether they’re physical, mental,
emotional, spiritual, electromagnetic, or energetic. TBM uses the same
principle through reflex points clearing the pathway to the body’s
natural promotion and healing of:
• Self-development
• Allergies
• Stress (emotional, physical)
• Fears and phobias
• PMS
• Anxiety
• ADHD
• Learning difficulties
“Kinesiologists use muscle feedback as a stress monitor to identify
imbalances in their client’s structural, chemical, mental, and emotional
energy systems. By correcting these imbalances the kinesiologist is able
to re-activate the body’s built-in healing ability as well as identify
external factors affecting the client’s well being.” (Dr.
Bruce Dewe, M.D., international lecturer.)
Educational kinesiology
This form of kinesiology, from the work of Dr. Paul Dennison and his wife,
Gail, is used to empower children and adults to utilize their full potential
by accessing their maximum brainpower through a series of movements, called
Brain Gym. Amazing results are produced understanding your dominance and
creating integration and balance in your brain. “Movement is the
door to learning,” says Dennison.
Each alternative healing modality stands on its own merit, or when combined
with an empowerment session, can give life-changing results.
