What is energy medicine?

What is energy medicine? This is a very valid and timely question. I would say most parents don’t really understand what energy medicine is, and this is one of the reasons I am trying to get the word out. In my experience, energy medicine techniques work particularly well on children and babies because they are so energetically sensitive to begin with.
I believe, along with many other doctors, scientists, researchers, philosophers, teachers, and physics experts, that energy medicine is and will be the dominant player in our collective health care future. Energy medicine includes such diverse fields as Chinese medicine, naturopathic medicine, homeopathy, chiropractic, light and sound therapies, infrared and other subtle energy modalities.
I came across this short video highlighting Dr James Oschman as he gave a presentation at a medical conference. He gives a very concise, compelling description of what energy medicine is and why it is destined to become such an important force within the field of medicine. Watch the 5 minute video below and then I will add some comments relating to energy medicine and kids.
In my practice, I see kids and babies of all age groups and I use the BodyTalk System, founded by Dr John Veltheim. There are many energy based modalities in use today, but I think BodyTalk is one of the easiest for younger age groups and it can certainly be taught to parents so they can do the tapping protocols at home. Who is better positioned than parents to perform ongoing energy based interventions for their kids? In reality, parents are contributing greatly to the energy dynamics in the home for their kids regardless of whether they are aware of it or not.
I recently wrote an ebook on this very subject, and it is called “Energy Medicine Principles for Parents: A Pediatrician’s Perspective on How Energy Medicine Can Help Your Child”. You can read more about it on my website, PrinciplesForParents.com.
As you heard Dr Oschman say in the video, we cannot even have a discussion or look around or move our bodies without engaging the principles and actions of energy, both within and outside of ourselves. What are your thoughts on what energy medicine means for your kids and your family? I look forward to getting your feedback.
Thanks for coming back to visit my blog. If you like the content I have here, let all your friends know and make sure you send me your questions and comments.
I am and have been an Energy Medicine practitioner for the past 10 years;
Never before have I been so convinced of the Efficacy and safeness of this particular field wich displays long term results by going to the source of the problem
However, there is a vast need for educating the general public as Energy medicine is at the best misconstrued and confused with Esoteric or Spiritual medicine such as Reiki and Spiritualism / of course there may be this element involved at times but it is important that people understand that despite creed, colour, age or Spiritual beliefs this medicine benefits ALL
I have come under huge personal resistance due to being on the edge of the next pioneering frontier -
At present based in the UK – I have been silenced to a whisper – but have not stopped being Convinced this is the way of the FUTURE
Thanks for your comment, Giselle.
I agree that the public needs to be educated more fully about the benefits and the facts around energy medicine not just as a modality of treatment but as a philosophy of health and a (new or old) way of thinking.

Nice to hear from someone all the way from the UK!
Hi,
I have been in this field for 6 or 7 years, as co-inventor of the Perkl-Light device, and founder/CEO of Star Energetics LLC. In my business, I talk to a lot of people with varying relationships to Energy Medicine. I find that there is a LOT of activity in this area, and that there are whole organizations doing research and various other things, and that often, they don’t know about each other.
Here is a link to the “links” page on my website. Of particular interest: 1) a link to an overview of Energy Medicine on the NCCAM website (your tax dollars at work, researching energy medicine); 2) a YouTube video in which the fellow demonstrates a simple technique for feeling your own life-force energy; 3)Links to various organizations doing work on Energy Medicine, in a variety of forms. Here is the link:

FYI – on my “to-do” list is adding some more to my links page based on recent contacts I have made and such. Keep checking back. I hope you find this helpful.
