there has always been a required synergistic balance between primary elements: planet, human, spirit.
The individual biological reaction to a session, with a balanced healer, is what heals. Human biology itself is an exquisite sculpture in balance. It is the individual human reaction that heals, not the healer. Can you see the difference as to what we have chosen to believe for the longest time?
Over centuries we have sought a healing solution from sources outside ourselves. We feel a pain or realise a loss in movement and seek out medicinal guidance or the assistance of someone we view to be more specialized than ourselves when it comes to healing. The medical fraternity—through no real fault of their own, for they too have learnt from history—has had a similar approach to healing, and perpetrated the continuing reliance on outside sources rather than joining the innate abilities within the patient to the balancing abilities of the healer, be they medical, homeopathic or metaphysical.
When approaching a medical practitioner for an illness or injury, it was traditionally treated in the immediate state. You would be given pain relief for the level of pain you presented at the time, and appropriate medications to abate inflammation or infection as it had presented when you were there. And this treatment, for a large portion of us, has been adequate and indeed effective, so that the situation would not worsen and your health could improve again. Indeed, your body would be put into such a position that it could once again balance itself. Such medical treatment has kept me alive doing just that, thankfully.
The true source of the health issue, what actually led to the current situation, is rarely addressed in current Western medicine and often considered irrelevant. Caught in our own wonder and, yes, a little of that omnipotent ego, Western medicine lost focus on causative issues going beyond the purely physical.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), on the other hand, recognizes the source cause when addressing the physical. A Chinese herbalist first explained to me the understanding that “when the heart is troubled, all other organs tremble”. The effect of emotion, and hence the mindset of the individual, was an essential element in structuring treatment. Rarely in TCM are you prescribed treatment for a single issue; instead, TCM practitioners work to balance the relevant system, and ultimately the entire physical system.
Again, balance. Healers don’t heal, they balance. Whether it’s your oncologist prescribing a stringent schedule of chemotherapy, your osteopath focussing on some cranial work, your surgeon removing your gall bladder, or me immersing you in quantum bioenergetics, all of us are working to achieve the same end: To achieve an environment of balance within the body so it can then heal itself.
Calling allopathic medicine’s approach “backwards” is a little unfair. Instead, it’s immediate, very much a Band-aid solution, as treatment is for the symptoms in the immediate situation. Our increasing need for instant gratification may have brought about this approach.
Perhaps Plato put it best when he said, “The great error of our day in the treatment of the human body is that physicians first separate the soul from the body.”
More and more I am seeing articles and papers written on the necessity for science to reunite with spiritual in order for that science to move forward. This isn’t such a new concept. The answers are in fact bound within the tradition or the culture from whence it came.
The channelled entity Kryon tells us, “You can never separate the physical from the spiritual. Scientists have wanted to do that from the beginning. They actually pride themselves on the empiricism of their scientific method, and that it is completely separate from anything spiritual. The real joke is that at the heart of physics and biology is the spiritual plan of matter and life. It hides within the atomic structure, and also within the biology of each human.”
My own research, my own incidental education in this, points to a massive interconnecting matrix of the science and the spiritual in itself. True spirituality, being far beyond religion, meant that I sought out education from all genres. In the face of my own immense and incredible healings, restriction to traditional education would be almost blasphemous, so I ventured into that which is labelled “the New Age”.
Sadly, allopathic medicine’s growth now is also hindered greatly through fear of being sued. The general population has developed such a litigious nature that along the way, instead of simply denying our own responsibility, which is our usual approach, Western culture found a way of actually putting it legally upon someone else! True shirking of responsibility on a soulful level!
A client came to me after having surgery for lung cancer, seeking to aid his recovery. He sat down and told me how his GP had originally suspected cancer, and sent him to a particular hospital for assessment. After travelling some distance to get to the hospital, he undertook some tests and they found nothing, so he returned home. Some weeks later, again his doctor referred him to the hospital, as he still was suspicious. This time the tests showed quite an advanced cancer. They scheduled him immediately for surgery, then treatment.
The gentleman was telling me this story because he’d just instigated legal action against the hospital for missing the cancer the first time! He said to me, “It’s disgusting, isn’t it?”
I replied, “It certainly is! After all, if they hadn’t found it when they did, you’d be dead by now. Perhaps ‘gratitude’ would suit you a little better than ‘litigation?’” His jaw dropped. And apparently he dropped his lawsuit almost as fast.
From my own perspective, I see great and enormously positive changes occurring in Western medicine. More and more doctors are able to involve, if not embrace, other modes/methods and practitioners of healing. These days, I am asked into hospitals to work on patients. It’s not officially prescribed treatment, and when they write it on the patient’s medical chart it is listed as “healing” (which must be terribly confusing for administrative staff!), but nonetheless it is recommended “therapy” by their physician. If one medical professional is to introduce me to another, they tend to introduce me under the banner of “complementary medicine”. You have to like that.
Back in the old days, in my role as an anatomical physiologist, I ultimately ended working primarily in rehabilitation. Although recently, whilst lecturing at a course, I told the students “I used to work in rehabilitation, and now I work in…well, rehabilitation.” My best description of an anatomical physiologist is a mechanical engineer for the human body. At the musculoskeletal level I would rebalance, reshape, and reintroduce function to the gross motor movement of a body. Various doctors and therapists would refer their patients to me for a more finely tuned approach to aid their recovery. I worked on all types of people, from the elite athletes to personally training everyday people to simply lose a few pounds, and all sorts in between. A fantastic job!
I was never actually taught any sort of methodical approach when assessing a client. When I earned my double degree it was tailored for me, so it wasn’t a standard physiotherapy or medical training. It turned out that was a huge asset, as I entered this profession unencumbered by any existing methodical paradigms.
When a client came to me, I would look at them from the perspective of how the human body can be, and what we needed to change in the client’s body in order for it to be as it should. I never doubted that any single body could recover from where it was. Even back then I would go right into the depths of research to create a plan, basically from the cellular level up, and orchestrate an environment for that body to repair itself. (Not dissimilar to what I do now, right?)
Be under no illusion, this was not easy work for the clients, but few ever complained. A gentleman came to me after having melanoma removed, with huge divots of flesh cut out of a major muscle group and barely able to walk due to the resulting overall weakness. Of course he was told there was no real hope of recovery, but he might be able to walk comfortably in time. Twelve weeks later he was able to play football with his son again, and we went for a three-kilometre run together.
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I have an in-built requirement for symmetry. It’s not an obsession, but is close to it. (I can hear friends scoffing as I write.) So I couldn’t resist, when rehabilitating someone, to rebalance them entirely. It wasn’t a conscious decision as such; to me,
