Anniversaries and Energy Medicine

Today is my 18th wedding anniversary! My wife, Lisa, and I were married in 1991 on this date and we continue to enjoy our life’s journey together. It dawned on me that anniversaries are common in the energy medicine system and they can be particularly relevant to your kids. Let me explain.

If your child has had some sort of event which had an impact on them, you can be sure that their own nervous system has that experience filed away in the memory part of their brain. What I have come to recognize is a very curious phenomenon whereby kids (and all of us) have these time associations with dramatic events in their lives. If, for example, a child experiences some sort of accident or trauma at a certain time of year, the information related to the time, date, time of year, climate, environment, etc., will be imprinted or associated right along with the event itself.

Quite commonly, if I am going through a child’s history with a parent, we will come up with time windows where their child tends to get symptoms or have problems at a certain time of year. Sometimes it is exactly around the anniversary date of some significant event.

I believe that since our own nervous system is designed to protect and conserve our energy system and our physical bodies, it makes sense that we would be “reminded” of circumstances or similar cues coming in to our five senses at certain times of the year. In this way, anniversaries play a protective reminder role and can be seen and interpreted as such.

I often explain to my patients that the automatically functioning part of our system (sometimes referred to as the autonomic nervous system) keeps track of things we don’t normally have conscious awareness of. Certainly, that is the way it should be, otherwise we would be paralyzed by information overload!

Another description I like to give parents is the fact that we all have energy ‘savings accounts’, which store up energy for us so that it is at the ready, just in case a certain scenario or event repeats itself. This is extremely common in younger age groups and it takes on more importance because their energy and nervous systems are less mature and have less experience to rely on.

My main point here, is that anniversaries pop up in our own energy systems all the time, even though we are not necessarily aware of them. Think about your own child’s life experiences, and see if you can make correlations with dates and times of the year that may have significance for your child. By recognizing this concept in your own awareness, your child will be affected as well.

Finally, let’s not forget to celebrate the positive experiences your child has gone through or the significant milestones they have attained. After all, anniversaries should be fun and a time to rejoice.
