Every living thing has energy. Throughout the years the idea of energy focused healing has become more accepted throughout the United States. Research has proven the point that we all have energy. Science has also been helpful in proving that energy healing actually makes a difference and enhances peoples life.
The SQUID magnetometer, (SQUID stands for superconducting quantum interference device), is a device that was developed to detect small magnetic fields. It can even detect energy in living beings. It has been used to test whether the magnetic energy field of mice might be similar to an internal compass. These devices that can prove living beings have energy help to encourage the development of human energy forward ideas. Finally there is something that can prove the reports and healings for thousands of years. Now we have an objective way to measure the subjective reports energy. The scientific community is helping to further the healing practices of others. A very interesting study conducted by Valerie Hunt, a Physical Therapist and Professor of Kinesiology at U.C.L.A. California, that measures peaks of frequency of electrical impulses within the body. She relates these electric impulses to aura and the human energy. These frequencies she was able to measure she then related to tones and colors seen as an aura. She was then able to further her research and found similarities in people how display similar energy field frequencies. For example, people displaying no significant peaks about 250 Hz tended to be materialistic minded. People who peak between 400 and 800 Hz seemed to have healing abilities. People who had extra-sensory perception tended to peak between 800 and 900 Hz. And those with the highest peaks, over 900 Hz, tended to be able to act on “hunches”. She calls these people mystical personalities. She also was able to relate these frequencies to the colors seen as auras. See the following field.

For example a Dark Blue Aura relates to 200 HZ and the Base Chakra. The Relationship of the Human Energy Field Frequencies to the colors of the Aura and the Chakras: color Approx.

He is known as “The Healing Drummer” and learned much of his drumming techniques in Africa. In addition Tony studied Healing Drumming, Shamanism and Native American Drumming. Tony travels around the country providing healing sessions, drumming circles, workshops, and interactive concerts. Tony uses the sound force of the drum to disrupt negative energy patterns and to realign and restore the mind, body and spirit. Sound Attunement Therapy is the use of vibrational energy that brings beings into harmony. This drumming helps to your bio-energetic structure which promotes healing and restores energy. Studies have suggested that this healing drumming can be effective in treating emotional disorders such as depression, anger, and anxiety. Other studies have also suggested that this therapeutic drumming can increase immune system function, control pain, relieve stress, and has been successful in treating serious conditions such as substance abuse, alcoholism, AIDS, adrenal failure, high blood pressure and cancer. Personally, I have never experienced in live in-person music intended to be healing but I do have cd’s that I use. It is called brain wave technology. I use Brain Sync, created by Kelly Howell. The sounds on each cd are designed to enable your brain to reach special states. I truly feel a difference when I use this technology. I feel refreshed and rejuvenated. Sometimes I use it to help me to feel that my life has a purpose and it helps me to redefine that purpose. I look forward to furthering my journey around reading auras and learning more about energy healing. Reiki is another form of energy healing. Reiki practitioners believe that people have an energy field that is bound up in a system of chakras. Chakras are energy centers located in places in the body, starting near the bottom of your spine and ending in your head. The final Chakras is believed to be located directly above your head. These energy centers are bound up with your emotional and physical well-being. When our Chakras are unbalanced due to emotional or physical illness, it can affect our sense of wellbeing on a whole. It is believed that ones personal energy (bound up in Chakras) is also connected to universal energy. While Reiki is being practiced on someone the experiences very. Someone might feel slight tingling, or have hot or cold flashes, others report feeling nothing and other fall asleep. The experience one has during Reiki doesn’t mean that there was or wasn’t any healing. Reiki was discovered at the end of the 19th century by a man named Mikao Usui. He was a Japanese priest who went on a quest to find a new method of healing. After meditating, he found that he knew the symbols and mantras of Reiki. He was able to teach this new tool of healing to many people. Hawayo Takata, a Hawaiian American, was transferred the power from Usui and after the Second World War he brought Reiki to America. In Japanese, the word Reiki means universal energy. Reiki is not related in any one religion and anyone who wishes to become a Reiki master is welcome to. In this practice traditionally the “patient” lies down while the Reiki master slowly moves their hands over them, they may move their hands a few inches over the patient or may actually touch them. While doing this the Reiki master feels the energy and manipulates it. Medical researchers at the University of Texas studied the Reiki is not taught as most other forms, it is instead transferred from Reiki masters. I have really enjoyed taking this class and feel that it was the perfect beginning to defining a life of spirit, discipline, purpose and pride. I look forward to learning more about being more positive and being a “ripple” to others around me. For if everyone starts a ripple, together we can wash down the walls of the greatest oppression. I hope to help build community, locally and globally, even if just by sending out positive energy to those around me.
