Guest guest Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Greetings, everyone, Misty asked if I would share some more with all of you about Energy Psychology, so here goes. There are many different approaches and tools within EP. What they have in common is a world view which understands energy to be the underlying reality of all that is. We, like all of reality, are understood to be primarily energy-based. In other words, we all exist and function on physical, psychological (cognitive and emotional) and spiritual levels according to our blueprints on an energetic level. All the other more mundane levels flow from that energetic patterning. It is like our hard wiring and our programming. So if we are having problems in our lives, in some way those problems are traceable to something which is out of kilter on the energy level. If we go to that level, changes can often take place much more rapidly (sometimes instantly) and with less effort. It's the equivalent of going from Newtonian to quantum physics, where there can be instantaneous shifts from a wave to a particle and vice versa, where particles effect each other at a distance, and where an observer effects what is being observed. A wonderful strange new world! Our energy bodies are composed of 3 major components or systems (and others as well). These include the meridian system - energy pathways with their points or hsues which when stimulated enable the energy flow to be modulated, the energy centers or chakras, and the biofield (aura) which surrounds each of us. We can work to make an impact on any of these systems, and that impact will then percolate through to the physical and other levels of our beings to bring about desired changes and growth. EP approaches are also often wonderful for releasing blocks and negative patterns of various kinds Some of this work can readily and safely be done by anyone who learns the techniques, on a self-help or first-aid basis. For other situations, guidance by a skilled psychotherapist is indicated - when issues are complex, multi-faceted, and when the individual is not able to see him or herself clearly with reference to patterns of functioning. (This can be true for any of us, depending on the issue and our circumstances). A therapist or counselor may also be indicated if there is a need for someone to learn new skills or to be supported by another while going through a change and growth process. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is probably the most commonly used of these approaches, and it works with the meridian system. You can learn it on line, at the website of Gary Craig, the engineer who developed it based on prior work by a number of very talented individuals. His website is <emofree.com> I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you'd like further information you'd like. Have a great day!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Dear Misty, I'm glad for your interest. And you might be interested to know that certain versions of Energy Psych actually make use of homeopathic principles. The approach along this line that I use is called etox, as in energy detoxification, and it can be used to improve energetically the relationship between an individual and something with which he or she might come in contact. This could include something in the air, a food substance or household substance, another individual, an emotion or whatever. It also includes the idea that an emotional component is often involved in the form of some emotional distress occurring at the time of first contact. As you may know, homeopathic -like remedies can be created through use of simple devices which can duplicate and potentiate the frequency of any substance, emotion, etc. I am pretty limited time wise now, unable to write out long protocols. If you have a specific question regarding a particular situation, I'll be glad to do what I can to address it. Meanwhile, some of you might be interested in going to the Emotional Freedom Techniques website. EFT is probably the most frequently used energy-based approach, and there is a great website <emofree.com>. It describes the basic protocol in detail, gives many variants, has lots of links to other approaches, and includes many case histories. Have fun! Karen Karen K.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Hi Karen & everyone, Thank you for sharing this with us... I am very glad you are here, we have a great opportunity to share and learn together... Homeopathy, my background and passion, is firmly rooted in the idea that we treat the vital force, the life sustaining, energetic force that animates and directs the body. We realize, like you, that if we can assist the vital force in regaining and re-establishing harmony, the body, mind, and emotions will reflect that greater state of balance and health. We do not use hand's on techniques or counseling, but rather energetic remedies that are meant to retune the vital force. Would you enjoy doing a little show and tell? I have a personal interest in first aid, acute care conditions. Can you describe what you would recommend for us to do in situations like those? I realize that is a huge territory, perhaps choose what most interests you. Meanwhile I will research and write up homeopathic first aid protocols. As one of the goals of this site, it would be nice to be able to expand our arsenal of healing tools... Are there any other people out there that would like to add to this first aid/or acute care/or energetic/vital force show and tell? Your insight is more than welcomed!
