Understanding The Energy Body
In this blog I will try to bridge the gap between you as the reader and me the energetics practitioner by giving you a basic understanding of: what the energetic body is comprised of, what can put it out of balance and what can be done to help put it back into balance.
From childhood we are taught that maintenance of ones body is crucial for optimal health and vitality, but we don’t fully grasp the importance of putting ourselves first in order to do so. The body is a very exquisite machine if one takes the time to admire the true beauty of it’s design. If we were to look at our body like a vehicle we would notice similarities on what keeps our system in an optimal state. For example if we take our vehicle in for regular maintenance there is a very small percentage of disruption within the system, but if we neglect to do so one small problem leads to a bigger problem down the line.
Electromagnetic Fields
Each cell in the body creates an electromagnetic field that acts like a shield for the cell. This field is similar to our planets electromagnetic field protecting us from subatomic particles to astroids size particles. When these cells combine to create bone, muscles, organs, glands, nerves, etc. these fields resonate at a particular frequency. Your skeletal, muscular, organ, glandular and nervous system then create a unique electromagnetic field around you also known as an aura. So when you maintain your body you provide a good ecosystem in and around your body. If this ecosystem is not nurtured it can cause damage to one or multiple ecosystems affecting the overall health of your body.
Circuitry Of The Energy Body
Acupuncture is a treatment that has been used within the eastern country of China for over 3000 years. This modality provides a detailed map of hundreds of acupoints systematically littered across our body that nourishes our nervous, skeletal, organ and glandular systems. These acupoints run through specific meridians affecting organs and glands when stimulated. These meridians route energy through our body similar to a circuit board in a computer. The most common way to access this system is by needling or acupuncture. Other methods may include modalities such as Reiki, Jin Shyn Jytsu, or acupressure that use physical pressure and or non-physical means to regulate these meridians.
Power Centres – Organs and Glands
A city is comprised of small communities which house buildings, houses, traffic lights and power centres. Without the power centres there would be no power flowing to the buildings, houses and traffic lights. And without power flowing to a specific community for long periods of time the people in that community would have to migrate to other areas leaving their original community to become barren of life. This can be said for the power centres of the body which in this case are our organs and glands. If the basic life force energy (Qi/Prana) is deprived within an organ the organ will eventually become diseased. So like electricians keeping our community power centres functioning energetic practitioners keep our body’s energy system flowing.
Symptomatic Problems
As a massage therapist and energetics practitioner I interact with people on a daily basics. A majority of my clients come to me to address physical pains they may experience ranging from once or twice a month to several times a day. What I found with a majority of my clients who have chronic ailments is that they have organ related symptoms which can be mistaken for simple body aches. When these meridian access points are under-active, over-active or blocked we may experience a variety of symptoms such as headaches, migraines, brain fog, tinnitus (ringing in the ear(s)), hearing cutting in and out, blurred vision, dizziness, hot flashes, weakness in the legs, and various body aches which may happening all at once. These symptoms tells us that one or multiple ecosystems are out of balance and if left unchecked for long periods of time can cause disease in the body.
Irregular Vibrations In The System
When an organ, gland or muscle becomes unstable it creates an un-natural vibration in the body. This vibration can over or under-stimulate a localized area or whole body depending on the nature of the problem. These vibrations can be held in the nervous system which spans throughout the organ, gland and muscular systems. This can produce a tipping point of what we call stress. So to simplify it imagine drinking something that overstimulates your nervous system such as alcohol or coffee. These products can over exert organ functions making them work harder and faster. The over-stimulation in the system produces a vibration that can be seen as a trembling of the hands, or felt like anxiousness which is held within the body or worst case scenario, depression which is a systemic disharmony of the entire system when it has been out of balance for long duration’s of time.

How To Balance The Nervous and Energy Systems
When working on my clients I use a meditative technique I created by tuning into their vibratory state and at the same time focus on silence. What this does is bring the overstimulated vibrational state of their body down to the same frequency of silence activating their parasympathetic nervous system. This system puts ones body into a meditative state allowing their organs to relax and repair itself. The parasympathetic system moves along longer pathways and is responsible for controlling homeostasis, which is the balance and maintenance of the body’s systems. This system is responsible for restoring the body’s state of calm and balance. Depending on how chronic the problem is it may take a few sessions to balance out the affected system(s).
To improve ones state of being they have to be the co-creator in their progress. This means getting support for whatever ails them. For example depression is a symptom of stress. Stress is a symptom of a bigger problem which could be related to a personal or work related issue that has not been dealt with. So as a practitioner I maybe able to shift your body’s energy state, but if nothing changes with the root problem causing the depression it becomes a vicious cycle of chasing ones tail.
Things I would suggest avoiding are high activity sports, running or anything that starts to over stimulate ones system. A daily practice of meditation, yoga, Qi Gong, or Tai Chi can greatly improve ones state of being transforming their mind, body and spirit back into balance. The one thing these modalities have in common is that they trigger the parasympathetic nervous system to help circulate the energy through the body’s meridian system nourishing the organs, glands and muscular systems.
How To Balance The Energy System
I have come up with a specific technique which should be used as a daily practice in maintaining ones energy meridian system. This technique which I call “Awakened One” specifically moves energy throughout the meridian and organ systems systematically unblocking any congested or blocked points.
This technique is very simple to do, but should only be attempted by intermediate to advanced practitioners of meditation or any modalities which are listed above under “How To Balance The Nervous and Energy Systems”. The reason for this is because moving energy from a congested organ has the same affect as detoxing, which can cause physical pain throughout ones body as well as moderate to extreme emotional shifts lasting anywhere from a few seconds to several days.
If you choose to proceed with this practice make sure that you have a doctor of Chinese medicine and acupuncture on standby or an energetic practitioner who understands the meridian systems and the ability to locate blockage points. To access this practice click “Awakened One“.
