Energy is Life

The entire universe is made up of energy. The Tree Outside, a Basketball, Insects, Plants, You and Me, We are all Energy! Everything in life is formed of vibration and that vibration is energy. The Law of Attraction written by Isaac Newton and added onto by Einstein and many others' states that Humans are Energy and our Thoughts Have a Frequency that Attracts Other Energy. Because everything around us and inside of us is made up of vibrations and energy similarly our organs, tissues, and systems within our body are comprised of vibrating atoms. When something like an allergen or contaminated food substance enters the body, it can alter the vibrational pattern of the body or particular system. If our flow of energy is Blocked, Overactive, or even Under active, DISEASE and AILMENTS can occur. We are made up of Body, Mind, and Spirit. When one is harmed, the others fall right behind. They are connected! There isn't one without the other just like the Trinity. So, why then do we only treat one part of ourselves?
There are different approaches to Energy Healing practiced throughout the world. The most common used being Traditional Chinese Medicine which uses a system of 14 meridians to analyze energy levels and treat through Acupuncture. The Chinese also use Shiatsu, Tai Chi, and Chi Kung for balancing  the energy pathways. Yoga, Aromatherapy, Chakra Healing, Flower & Gem Remedies, and Reiki are also used to balance subtle energies within the body.

Acupuncture has been extremely effective in treating as well as preventing many common health issues that we are plagued with in the U.S. and is Less Expensive but unfortunately hasn't been used nearly enough. It is becoming more and more widespread and many insurance companies will cover it. Although proven to work, the availability of places around that actually practice acupuncture are scarce! Yoga, which you can do at Home for Free helps to balance energy levels throughout the Body and Mind and there are many specific poses that can be done specifically for balancing the body's energies.           
 
 What are Chakras? Chakra comes form the Sanskrit Word meaning 'wheels of light'. There are Seven Major Chakras that interact with the body's endocrine glands and lymphatic system by feeding in good energy and disposing of unwanted energy. Chakra Healing focuses on the major and minor points in the body where energy is said to radiate. There are seven major chakras (see picture) and twenty one minor chakras throughout the body. The minor chakras are thought to be the energy defenders in the body and the major chakras are considered the initiators of key body functions. Both are vital to your body's functionality! There is no doubt that we are creatures that are made up of Energy as is our Entire Universe. We need to be aware of our Flow of Energy and its direct connections to our Organs and Body systems. 

                                              
There is a website that give you an overview of Chakras and allow you to take the Chakra Test. It introduces Chakra Healing and will show you how your Chakras rate. It is through increased awareness that we open the door to new opportunities for growth and optimum health.
