IT’S ALL ABOUT ENERGY

The one thing that most healing “tools” have in common is that they have the ability to move energy   (chi ) within the body.   Keeping the energy ( chi ) flowing and balanced, plus removing energy blockages is, basically, a main role of most Natural Healing “tools”.  Why is keeping the energy within our bodies smooth and flowing so important? Because, virtually, all illness and disease originates from a sustained imbalance of life force energy ( chi ) in the body.  Vitamin and mineral deficiencies, plus poor lifestyle habits also have an impact on health.

WHERE IS ENERGY ( CHI ) LOCATED IN THE BODY?

The vital life force energy ( chi ) of our body – that which keeps us alive – is located in meridians and chakras throughout the body.  The Meridians are energy pathways that run throughout the body.  They run through organs and glands, energizing them, making them strong, healthy, and able to work at peak efficiency.  The Chakras are energy centers found mainly along the spine, from the tailbone to the top of the head.   They, too, help to energize the organs and glands.

When energy becomes blocked – or imbalanced – one or more organ system may not be receiving adequate energy.  Over time, symptoms develop, indicating that one or more organ system is not working at peak efficiency. The organs are still healthy, but begin to wear down.

HOW BLOCKED OR IMBALANCED ENERGY CAN LEAD TO ILLNESS OR DISEASE

When insufficient energy flows through an organ, or gland, certain common symptoms begin to develop, depending on which organ / organ system / or gland is affected.  Since our body works as a unit, when one system is “down” it begins to affect the other systems of our body, as well, often producing even more symptoms.  It is at this point that Natural Healing is extremely effective. By using one or more of the natural “tools” and targeting the problem area (Ex: digestion, immune system, lungs), energy can be smoothed and balanced, quickly, making the systems of the body healthy and strong once again. Supplements help support the body during this process.

However, if nothing is done, and the energy remains blocked over a longer period of time, the problem is more difficult to solve.  As each organ weakens, and affects other organ systems and glands, the body eventually becomes deeply imbalanced in many different areas, and the body struggles in its attempt to regain balance and work as a unit.  As it does, more severe symptoms usually develop.  These symptoms are often the result of the body trying to maintain balance.  Natural Healing Therapies can still work at this point, but it will take longer and require more “tools” – but it can be done!           

WHAT CAUSES ENERGY ( CHI ) TO BECOME BLOCKED OR IMBALANCED?

You may be surprised to learn how easily our energy can become imbalanced! Here are some of the most common ways we impact our own energy. . .

Stress, emotions ( anger, fear, resentment, etc ), not enough sleep, too much sleep, not enough exercise, too much exercise, too much sitting, too much thinking, poor diet,  poor eating habits, and subluxation of the vertebrae (spinal bones that go out of alignment).

Stress contributes greatly to undermining our energy system, and ultimately our health. Stress often leads to a person becoming more emotional, and emotions, such as anger, fear, grief, depression, etc, all have the ability to block, or imbalance, our energy. Stress can also lead to insomnia, or disturbed sleep, which can affect our energy. Taking this further, inadequate sleep often leads to fatigue and lack of exercise, causing deeper imbalances. Finally, stress tightens muscles which can, literally, push bones out of alignment ( subluxation ), again, creating more energy blockages.  And so it goes…

As a society, we are far more in the clutches of stress – on a daily basis – than any other previous generation. It is vital to our well-being that we learn to control, or diminish, our stress level if we want to maintain good health.  I’m sure you’ve heard of stress leading to digestive problems, constipation, diarrhea, or headaches. This is often the result of stress affecting, or blocking, the energy  of various organs and glands, causing them to work at a slower pace, – not at peak efficiency -, thereby creating various “symptoms”.

Energy imbalances can also create too much energy in places, often manifesting as pain. Headaches are often considered a result of this, as are tight neck and shoulder muscles. Think of a kinked hose. When running water through a hose to a sprinkler, if the hose becomes kinked, the water pressure to the sprinkler becomes greatly diminished, or stops entirely. However, on the other side of the kink, the water is nearly bursting out of the faucet! The kink represents an energy blockage.  You can easily see how sometimes the organs on one side of a blockage are receiving little to no energy, while too much energy is found in other areas.  

Each and every one of the Natural Healing “tools” can easily rebalance the energy of the body.  It stands to reason, the more “tools” you use the more quickly and easily the blockage, or imbalance, is eliminated.  It also should tell you that by utilizing at least some of the “tools” on a regular basis, your energy will continue to flow smoothly each and every day, resulting in vibrant good health!
