The human body is full of pulsing, life-giving and life-enhancing energy. Traditional western medicine and even health insurance companies are gradually acknowledging this through the increasing use of complementary and alternative medicine (known as CAM therapies). Energy healing is one of the modalities within the CAM therapies and is known by different names, including: Healing Touch, Therapeutic Touch, Reiki, Energy Medicine, acupuncture, kinesiology. They use different techniques yet have the same objectives. But what are they referring to? And why should it matter to you?

There is growing research documenting the health-promoting benefits of energetic healing, including stress relief; increased wound healing and illness recovery; pain reduction and alleviation of side effects associated with anesthesia, radiation treatment and chemotherapy. In fact, touch therapies such as Healing Touch, Reiki and Therapeutic Touch are some of the most widely used energy based therapies being incorporated into hospitals and clinics, especially in the field of oncology. There are even energetic healing techniques that you can choose to receive when facing surgery which can reduce anxiety, stimulate relaxation, stabilize blood pressure, and normalize respiration.

In traditional western medicine, various forms of energy produced by the body (heat, electricity, magnetism, light, and sound) are routinely measured by medical devices. They reveal information about how well your body regulates itself and maintains health. Most of us are familiar with equipment such as CAT scans, MRIs, EKGs, EEGs, lasers and x-rays which emit one form of energy while measuring another form of energy. Standard medical treatment is then based, to a large degree, on the findings of these machines, and involves the use of drugs, surgery or other medical devices which involve stimulation of the affected area with pulsed electrical or magnetic fields.

Energetic healing takes a different approach. First, the practitioner uses his or her hands to assess your energy system. Then, energy is transmitted directly by the practitioner’s hands to your body (rather than using machines) to stimulate the healing process. In fact, the frequency of electromagnetic energy which emanates from the practitioner’s hands has been measured to be comparable to the Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency Device (PEMFs) used by modern medicine to jump-start healing in bone and soft tissue.

Instead of focusing on biological forms of energy, energy healing focuses on the flow of energy through the energetic “anatomy” of your body. There are energy centers (known as chakras), energy lines (called meridians) and energy fields (the “biofield” or aura). They form the network through which your body receives, processes and reveals the information with which it functions on all levels – physical, mental, emotional – even spiritual. Once an assessment of the energy flow has been made, an energy healing session focuses on removing any blockages and encouraging a return to health.

Energetic healing complements traditional medical care. It is safe, non-invasive, drug free and has no side effects. It has the potential to provide you with relief when more conventional approaches come up short. And for those of you who currently enjoy good health, energy healing can help you maintain wellness simply and naturally.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BECOME A HEALER YOURSELF?

If you would like to learn how to help yourself and others – even pets – and become a healer, the DVD Wake Up the Healer In You can teach you how to do it.

On July 25, 2009, in Eritrea, Africa, surrounded by his loving family, Moses Newman passed away and crossed over immediately to the light.

Moses came into my life by no mere coincidence. Our paths were meant to cross and he transformed my understanding of energy, of health, and of the power of love and gratitude.

I am grateful that we were able to finish his DVD, Wake Up the Healer In You this year. In addition to sharing his wisdom and techniques for energy healing, it now takes on an additional purpose of preserving his memory for years to come.

Since his death, I have had a few people ask me how it’s possible that an energy healer was not able to heal himself? For those who knew Moses and understood his philosophy of energy healing, they would know that energy healing does not mean avoiding death or living forever. However, for those who may not fully understand energy healing, I would simply remind them that the role of the energy healer is not to “play god” or perform miracles. Do miracles occur after energy healing sessions? Absolutely. However, the healer’s role in that miracle is to be present in the moment, to give love, to ease pain whenever possible, and most importantly allow the body to heal itself.

I remember a story Moses told me of a person who was dying in the hospital. His wife brought Moses in to see him several times. The man loved seeing Moses with his positive energy and generous gift of love. Moses gave him several sessions of energy healing. A few days later, the man passed away peacefully. Does that mean Moses failed? Absolutely not. As Moses put it, “Sometimes when it is someone’s time to go, it’s their time to go”.

I selfishly want Moses to still be here with us in physical form. I know there is still so much he could do to help the world, to share his love, and to teach his message. It was, however, his time to go. He was ready to go.

The wonderful thing is, he is still with us in spirit and his spirit guides me daily.

And in following his guidance, EnergyLinkHealing.com will continue to spread his message of energy healing. It truly is not a gift for one, but a gift for all. And it was his mission to share this gift with as many people as possible.

His memory and his message will live on in his DVD Wake Up the Healer In You.

And from each sale of the DVD, EnergyLinkHealing.com will continue to support his family in Eritrea as he so faithfully did throughout his journeys beyond his homeland. For each DVD sold, 20% will be donated to his family in Africa.

If you would like to support his family, we will also be adding a donation button to the site in the next few weeks as the web site undergoes changes.

Instead of mourning our loss, we will learn to celebrate the wonderful message that Moses wanted to share with the world. I know he is smiling down on us all saying “Peace”! with his big, contagious grin and laugh. Peace be with you too, Moses!

In honor of Moses’ memory, there will be a memorial service at a close friend’s house on Saturday, August 15th:

With great sadness, I wish to inform you of the death of Moses Newman who passed away on July 25, 2009 in Eritrea surrounded by family. Moses was a beautiful source of love, and will be sorely missed.

Ian and I will be having a celebration of Moses’ life on Saturday, August 15th from 11:30am – 3:30pm at our home, 5112 Bounty Lane, Culver City, CA 90230. Please join us for prayer and the sharing of memories and experiences, along with a buffet reception in honor of Moses.

R.S.V.P. Tivoli (310) 839-9719
If you can’t attend, but would like to share any thoughts or feelings that you would like read to the group, please e-mail me at tivandian@sbcglobal.net.

Blessings and love,
Tivoli

In the next few weeks, we will also be launching a memorial web page with photos, videos, and any messages from his friends posted. If you have a message you would like to share about your memories of Moses, please fill out the contact form on this site and I will include it in the web site.

The Biology of Belief is a groundbreaking work in the field of New Biology. Author Dr. Bruce Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist. His experiments, and those of other leading-edge scientists, have examined in great detail the processes by which cells receive information. The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts. Dr. Lipton’s profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a major breakthrough showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.

From changing the central biological dogma of the Primacy of DNA, to outlining the quantum nature of information flows and the astounding benefits of conscious parenting, and the failure of the genome project to find enough proteins, this book is packed full of gems sure to benefit everybody.

With modern technology we can repeatedly ‘perceive’ energy in ways we couldn’t before. Science is about improving our technology, and as we are now well and truly in the ascending Dwapara Yuga (Age of Energy) we are being asked to embrace the beginnings of the wisdom and knowledge technology wave.

I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in furthering their study and knowledge of biology beyond what is conventionally taught and thought energy or consciousness based healing practices such as energy medicine had a “flaky” foundation.

About the Author
Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized authority in bridging science and spirit and a leading voice in new biology. A cell biologist by training, he taught Cell Biology at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine, and later performed pioneering studies at Stanford University’s School of Medicine. He has been a guest speaker on dozens of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national conferences.

A great read for anyone wanting to understand the science behind energy healing. The implications of the research discussed in The Biology of Belief changes our understanding of life and explains that genes and DNA do not control our biology. Instead, DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, which include energetic messages from our positive and negative thoughts.

You can listen to a great interview with Dr. Bruce Lipton on VividLife Radio.

Energy is in us and around us all.

The techniques presented in the DVD come alive with clear instructions and vivid demonstrations. It is a very well-organized and easy to follow presentation of the basic methods used in energy medicine.

Perfect for the beginner, it is certainly the program to give to a family member or a health care professional who is new to or even skeptical about energy medicine, but is open to seeing more. Inspiring, it is also a great refresher for more advanced students.

In one article, “The Science of Energy Healing”, by Dr. Amir Farid Isahak, recounted the results from a study, and implored that more studies be conducted on alternative therapies. Dr. Isahak stated, “Science has no problems recognizing that plants and herbs have medicinal value because they contain nutrients and natural chemicals that may heal the body. However, when it comes to recognizing that the human hands can emit energy that heals, science has a problem accepting this, as nothing in science thus far indicates that it can or should happen…”. He also pointed out the lack of interest from the scientific community on seeing clinical studies carried out.

While we wait for the funding that supports scientific studies to catch up with the phenomenon of energy healing, anecdotal studies are being conducted around the world by small groups of healers.
