ENERGY MOVEMENT
Energy is present in all forms of matter. It is present in electricity, gravity, body actions, our thoughts, breathing, nerve currents, and in the air. This energy is influenced by body position, fasting, concentration, chanting, and visualization. Energy is always moving. Oran system currents shift from one system to another. Physical movement occurs by breathing, heart beating, bowels moving, blood flowing and by friction as our body moves through air. The air we breathe and the food we eat nurture the energy that we receive at birth. Magnetic electrical impulses in our nervous system influence this energy movement. We also get energy from the sun, breathing oxygen, vibrations from the ears, sight, and the nose. Our chakras and acupuncture points serve as antennas. Solid particles of the world are affected by nature's movements. Temperature changes, day turning to night, spring turning to summer,and other outside factors influence vibrations and energy movement through power spots in the earth, over underground streams and rivers and on hilltops. Gravitational pull, thunderstorms, the moon and lack of sunshine can alter energy movement. WE ALL FEEL VIBRATIONS FROM OTHERS. When there is a subtle vibration we consider it an aura. When you meet someone you immediately connect with their energy or you disconnect and ignore them.. You somehow like someone or you dislike someone without knowing anything about them. This same body energy connects us with all of nature and with our inner circulating body energy. There are vibrational forces outside and inside the body that make electrical currents. This allows us to be our own self sufficient world. Body tissues have different densities. The denser the tissue the stronger the energy currents. Energy in bones, for example, last after death often for centuries. The strongest body energy current passes through the head, spine,pelvis, and legs. We are grounded to the earth by our feet. There are three layers of energy. The deepest passes through the bone marrow and the bones.The middles layer passes through organs, blood, nerves, and muscles. And last, the superficial layer of energy is under the skin and connects us with the middle layer. It insulates us from the weather and outside vibrations. Harmonious vibrations from the outside world help cleanse our bodies and our inner energy systems. We receive someone else's thoughts, their physical contacts, their smiles, their pleasant hellos, and we respond positively. We are connected. and bond. We become happier when we resonate with the vibrations of others. However when we receive negative vibrations from someone, our body's high energy transformer creates mayhem to our body's energy field. EASTERN PHILOSOPY AND CHAKRAS There are seven energy centers in the spine.They are called CHAKRAS. The word means wheel in Sanokrit. These centers correspond with the curves of the spine. All the nerves in the body come from the brain and spine. This energy flows down the spine like a river. At the curves in the spine lies the most intense body energy. The first chakra is the COCCYX, the curve of the tail bone. Because of the increased angle and decrease in bone density, the chakra lets the energy spray out through the pelvis, legs and earth ( like a garden hose from the sprinkler head). The center of gravity in the body is two inches in front of the second sacral bone. The second chakra is the SACRUM. It is most dense energy center in the body, comprising 5 segments of sacrum into one. Its force is in sexual power. The third chakra is in the LUMBAR VERTEBRAE. The middle of this curve is the belly button (our original source of energy connection with our mothers). In this chakra resides personal power. Chakra four is the long curve of the throrax and HEART. Energy here can spred out more than the other 3 chakras. The pull of the thorax in breathing lets the energy here to spread out. The fifth chakra of energy is in the THROAT, the neck and and its five cervical vertebrae. This is a very mobile energy center and provides personal creativity. At the back of theskull is chakra six, the THIRD EYE chakra. . It allows energy to expand to the third eye between the eyebrows. This energy provides intuition. The CROWN is the seventh chakra at the top of the skull. Currents from the heavens make contact with the body. COLOR HEALING Color is living energy. It is a property of light. Light is electromagnetic energy produced by the sun in different wavelengths. As the light is absorbed and reflected we end up with different colors. Everything in nature no matter how common is full of color and interesting patterns. We can reclaim creativity if we break up our daily routine and focus on the power of color. We are our own energy systems. Vibration forms everything in life. The universe is only energy in vibration. Vibration exists in objects and in people and in our atmosphere. Our bodies have energy fields (called charkas). All of our organs are comprised of vibrating atoms. All of us have our own unique energy system and our organs have different vibrational patterns. We all emit color. When illness occurs, our energy systems are out of balance. Acupuncture can restore the normal vibration pattern to our organs. Once balance is restored, the organs can rid themselves of toxins and restore proper energy flow. Besides acupuncture, color can restore this balance. Color can help heal you physically and emotionally. We all react to colors differently. Some colors energizer others and us depress us. We should not ignore color. Light has different wavelengths that we can see. Light penetrates everything, even our bodies. Light makes things grow. Without light things die. Light also emits wavelengths that we cannot see (ultraviolet). Just because you cannot see them does not mean they do not exist. The longest wavelength and lowest frequency is red; violet has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency. These wavelengths contain radiation, which is energy. Energy is Qi and life. All colors put out energy (vibrations), except black. We radiate colors in our skin, hair, lips, and personalities. Colors also have a positive and negative effect on how others perceive us. CHAKRAS Our vibrations are governed by 7 energy centers called charkas. These energy centers mediate all the energy entering and leaving the body. Each center has a color that harmonizes with that center's frequency. The word chakra means wheel. The circles of light spin like a tornado or whirlpool. It links the subtle energy fields around the body to the activities of the body. Electromagnetic fields are highest where the charkas are present.(See section on energy movement.) A congested and under active chakra prevents energy flow to that area and the corresponding organs. A problem in the area of the chakra signifies an imbalance, either under active or overactive. The aim of acupuncture is to correct this imbalance. It can also be corrected by using the proper color. Below are the primary colors for the seven charkas. CHAKRAS AND COLORS Visible light has seven colors. Each color has its own specific frequency that corresponds to one of the body's 7 main energy centers called charkas. The set of frequencies related to musical notes is an example how colors works. If you place two properly tuned guitars in the same room and pluck the A stri9g on one guitar, the A string on the second guitar will also ring. This is because the sound frequency of the A note traveled across the room causing the resonant frequency of the A string on the second guitar to sound. Likewise, the body's organs have their own resonant frequencies related to the charkas. Hence, we can "tune " our bodies for optimal wellness through color therapy by exposing our Chakras to the specific color needed. This is exactly what acupuncture does by resonating with the organs vibrations. RED is
a stimulating color. It energizes the first chakra (coccyx). It
warms us and awakens us physically and energizes our blood. It is
a good color to wear when we have colds and poor circulation. Too
much red can over stimulate and make some illnesses worse. High
blood pressure is an indicator of too much red energy in the body.
It is a color for war, prosperity, fire, and rising sun. Spiritually
it is the root color of fire and connects us to our physical self.
HEALING WITH COLORS 1. BALANCING.
Get 7 pieces of cloth with the above colors. Use violet for the
crown chakra. Place these pieces of cloth over your body at the
appropriate chakra. Relax, and breathe deeply for 4 minutes. The
body will absorb these colors into their charkas and balance the
vibrational patterns in your body. CHOOSING COLORS Identify your colors that get the strongest reaction form you. Some colors do nothing for you. If you are an intense outgoing person you probably love red and should cool your body by choosing cooling colors as blue and green. If you are indecisive or flighty you probably should think of red or earthy colors. If you are rigid and down to earth and wear earthy colors, think of wearing sky colors of blue and green. Each color has its own wavelength. Our bodies emit energies that vary with our different emotions. You may have your favorite colors that make you feel good. When you are in a bad mood, you might be wise to change to another color that will restore your mood. When angry avoid red (even if it is your favorite color). Better to choose blues, greens, or grays that will calm you. When you are feeling down, red might be your best choice in colors. Your organs all resonate at different frequencies as a radio. Some of us may be set at 97 on the radio dial and others at 104. It is important to resonate at the frequencies your body dictates. Acupuncture balances the yin and yang of the body organs and thus restores your organ systems to normal function. Using proper colors can help maintain that balance. ENERGY BLOCKS result when areas of the body become inflammed or congested.When our teeth chatter or our legs go into spasm, there is congestion. Acupuncture treatment, yoga, or meditation ma;y remove these blocks. With aging, the energy spiraling up and down the spine gets stuck at a certain level. At birth we are stuck at Chakra 1 and need survival skills. In our teenage years we are stuck at Chakra 2 with sexuality. In our early twenties we are stuck at Chakra 3 and need power and competitiveness. In our late twenties when we get married and have children our energy revolves around Chakra 4 and we develop concern for others. Between 30 and 40, we revolve around Chakra 5 and we develop maturity, wisdom, and creativity (the silicone kids). In our late fifties we reach Chakra 6 and become more religious and contemplate the thought of death. In our mid 60's we reach the crown chakra 7 and are at the peak of spirituality. TODAY'S HIGH TECH WORLD has resulted in increase vibrational fields that go through our subtle body. Our cell phones, computers, electric and magnetic fields all disturb our body vibrations. Unfortunately because we are so busy,we are away from natures rhythms from the outdoors, parks, trees, and rivers that could balance and neutralize these high energy vibrations.. We cant't see thoughts, feelings and energy. We must just experience it. We are born with inate abilities to perceive subtle energy by knowing (intuitively), seeing (visionary) forseeing(prophetic) and feeling (sensitive). You can feel energy as the heat on the oven. (The hands perceive the heat). Healers can feel body resistance up to 8 inches from the body. You sense the energy in others and feel connected. What feels good about someone leads to a positive energy field. Interestingly, we must disconnect ourselves from someone's energy field from time to time or accomodation results and feelings are lost. Your energy field or your partner's energy field may be drained by one another. . Absence makes the heart grow fonder and one didn't marry one's spouse for daily lunch. Daily stresses can disturb the subtle body energies. These abnormal currents can be physical, emotional ,psychic, or chemical. Such currents are not absorbed by the body tissue but disrupt the subtle energy balance and leave irritable pockets of energy that disrupt body function. One may need to increase ones vibrational energy by physical exercise to create a stronger clearer energy field. Eating processed junk food alters and fails to supply the vibratonal energy need by the body. There
are two paradoxical LAWS OF NATURE Everyone responds differntely from energy stimulation with acupuncture. When the meridian channels are balanced we may see the color of the face turn orange color, the breathing becomes slower, the forehead and eyes may show some reaction, the voice will be louder and, smoother. Watch a basketball coach under stress rub his hand over his forehead, rub his eyes, ears or nose, in an attempt to balance his energy field. As balance occurs one notices an angelic facial expression. Enter a room and feel your energy connect or clash with the room's atmosphere. A tense business meeting and the room becomes jumpy and dense. People at the meeting line up as magnetic pulls, drawing themselves together depending on their viewpoints. . Knowing the pathways help to understand the stimulus seen and the response that results from acupuncture. As energy depletes there is a lack of oxygen; one notes paleness, cold sweat, shallow breathing, a stuffy nose, and a soft voice; the head rolls and arms dangle. Treatment with acupuncture makes the vibrational fields more dense and the obstruction of energy becomes cleared. DEVELOP A HEALING ATTITUDE when you become ill. . Eliminate the words that lower your self esteem :cannot, will not, should, but, and try should not be part of your vocabulary. Don't link symptoms with growing old. Creatre a positive mental image and positive ideas in your head. Ideas become self fulfilled prophecies. "I am getting better each day." Remember healing is a process not a result. Once your chest pain is gone, the problem may still exist. Taking medications for every symptom can block nature's mechanisms to keep us well. Refuse to accept certain conditions as life long problems that require ongoing medications forever (unlike what many western physicians try to tell you).. Every symptom is not an illness and every change in our body function is not sickness. Coughing, diarrhea, fever and vomiting may be the body's attempt to rid toxins and bacteria from the body and is the body's way to rid itself of disease. Getting well is a process, not a quick fix and takes time. Being sick does not happen suddenly. We have a inflammed throat long before we have a fever and a sore throat.We heal from the inside out. You know you are healing when the pain comes less often, is less severe and lasts a shorter time. Be patient. Nature does the healing. Antibiotics lower the bacterial count so the body can fight off the remaining bacteria. Acupuncture reaises the resistance and the need for antibiotics diminuishes. CHANGES IN THE STRESS LEVELS make it difficult for the body to stabilize its energy (jet lag, death of a member of the family). When stressful events are over and the pressure is oof, thats the time you may become sick. This abrupt change makes you more vulnerable to an accident. Acupuncture helps reestablish balance and prevent such illnesses. CHOOSING YOUR DOCTOR is important. Your doctor should show love, joy, compassion and impart the view that nothing is hopeless nor impossible. If not, seek another doctor. |
