DreamHealer: Healing Stuff

I attended Adam’s workshop in Calgary on June 05/2011.  Lately I had been suffering with IBS and bleeding during bowel movement.  I woke up on Monday morning – following workshop -  around 3 a.m. when I saw Adam in my dream and I’ve experienced unbeliavable swooshing movement in my lower part of my lower abdomen… as if someone was moving that part of my body in a circle motion…..To me that was an indication that bowel syndrome and bleedings are gone.  There are not enough words of thank you that I can express to a  miracle talent of Adam.  Thank you so much Adam, I bought all your DVDs to watch daily and have you in my life every day.  And I am patiently waiting until you come to Calgary or to Vancouver again; I will travel any distances to be part of your workshop.  Brilliant and amazing – never stop your journey, we need more Adams in our lives !!  Sincerely, A.T.

Though it may not be well represented in mainstream culture, naturopathic or alternative medicine can be a great way to improve your health.

A lot of the modalities are not fully embraced by the scientific community, simply because they cannot be seen, or measured in traditional ways.

The proof is in the results though, and there is evidence of reflexology being practiced in ancient Egypt and China, and the knowledge of chakras is said to date back to second century B.C.E India, and there is even evidence of them in Native American and Norse lore.

Myofascial release

“Even if it’s an old injury, sometimes you don’t have time to take care of it, you may have to be the bread-earner of the household, so you have to keep going no matter what, so you decide to ignore that sore spot and you go on day by day and you don’t really realize maybe how bad it got until it starts to feel a little bit better,” said Pearl Smith, Registered Massage Therapist and Specialist in Myofascial Release.

Myofascial release (MFR) is a gentle, deep, authentic form of healing that works with the connective tissue, or fascia, of the body.

Fascia is a fibrous web of connective tissue surrounded by a gelatinous substance. Think if it as pantyhose that surrounds your muscles and helps them to move more easily against each other.

When your body is traumatised or injured, that gelatinous substance hardens, making it more difficult for the muscles to move against each other, which in turn causes pain. If the fascia is restricted, then blood vessels, muscles, bones and organs will not work properly.

By applying gentle, prolonged pressure, the therapist can manipulate the fascia and help it return to its jellylike state.

MFR is beneficial to just about any physical ailment, whether you have arthritis, headaches, or any kind of pain from new or old injuries. It also can help with women’s health issues, infertility and neurological dysfunction.

There are several documented scientific studies out now which show that fascia and tissue can hold memory and emotions. According to John F. Barnes, pioneer and practitioner of MFR, it is almost as if your consciousness is in your fascia, not just in your head as science has led us to believe up until now. Because of this, MFR release can also be an emotional therapy.

There are three components to MFR: hands-on therapy, which is the gentle pressure mentioned earlier; myofascial unwinding, which helps release any emotions that may be holding you back from a full recovery, and myofascial rebounding, which uses the fluid in the body to make waves to put things back in order. MFR can sometimes be slightly painful depending on your issue, but it has been proven to be very effective.

To learn more, you can contact Smith at Still Waters Myofascial Release Treatment Center in Fairview at 780-835-1086. Smith also practices Healing Touch therapy, which is a form of energy work that manipulates a person’s energy field to clear, energize and balance their energy to facilitate healing.

Massage therapy

Massage is the manipulation of soft tissues in the body using friction or kneading techniques as well as tension, motion or vibrations to help muscles, ligaments, joints and tendons to function better and facilitate the healing process. Getting a massage is also a great way to relax and unwind.

Along with increasing athletic performance, massage has multiple benefits. Stress relief is the most obvious, but massage can also aid in recovery from an injury, and help alleviate back and neck pain, and also improve quality of life for those with chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia and arthritis.

It can help stimulate the immune system, and certain types of massage can help make childbirth easier.

According to Massage Therapist Jewel Giesbracht from Fairview, there are not a lot of conditions involving soft tissue that massage cannot help with.

Whether you are looking for relaxation, rehabilitation, or a natural form of pain management, massage can help.

Giesbracht, who works exclusively out of Clear Body Image & Wellness Spa, practices deep tissue, therapeutic, and relaxation massage, but specializes in sports injury rehabilitation.

For more information, you can call Giesbrecht at 780-835-2244.

Reflexology and energy healing

Some other services offered in the area are Body Management, Chakra Balancing, Vibrational Healing, Foot Reflexology and Reiki.

Most of these modalities are natural forms of preventative medicine.

They are all about balancing your body and learning to function in your body to keep it healthy for the long run.

Reflexology is the science of applying pressure to certain nerve endings (also called pressure points) in the feet, hands and ears.

These pressure points are said to be connected to certain areas of the body, and when manipulated, can cause a physical change in those parts of the body.

Reflexology can help with many things, such as reproductive issues, headaches, and general stress relief.

Vibrational Therapy and Chakra Balancing go hand-in-hand.

Chakra balancing uses a pendulum to test if the body’s energy systems, aka chakras, are balanced.

Vibrational Therapy uses smells, sounds, thoughts and tastes to help balance these energy systems.

Chakras are described as “force centers” or coils of energy emanating from seven different points on the body.

Each point represents a different major organ or aspect of our being. Basically, our chakras receive and transmit energy from and to our environment, including people or things we come in contact with, which is why you may feel other people’s moods affecting you.

Body Management, which is the gentle manipulation of skeletal and soft tissues in the body to get them back into alignment so that the body can work properly, uses both physical and energetic vibrations as well as different essential oils to help balance the chakras.

This therapy can be beneficial for people with gastrointestinal problems, or misaligned hips, among other things.

Finally, Reiki is a hands on or hands off form of energy work that uses symbols to focus energy into the body so that it can be balanced, and facilitate healing.

According to Louise L. Hay, author of You Can Heal Your Life, sometimes certain emotional conflicts can cause physical blockages.

Our emotions are our guidance system, and when you are not able to allow your emotions to flow, or acknowledge them, they get stored inside of you, and it can create a damming effect in your body.

Depending on what you hold on to, that is where the blockages manifest.

For example, neck pain could mean you have trouble seeing things from other people’s perspectives or different directions that your life could take.

The pain manifests there because they are, metaphorically, only looking straight forward.

“I really believe that this is a good pathway to take, even if you’re not sick, to help prevent yourself from becoming ill, because if you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything,” said Kortney Skaley of An avra Holistics.

“A lot of what I do is help people deal with their stress. There’s a lot of talking, and getting people to speak about things that are stressing them out.”

Skaley also explained that many people get nervous about bringing those feelings out in the open.

“A lot of people start to clam up when they get in here, thinking ‘what I have to deal with is so bad’, or ‘what I’ve done is so bad’, and it’s just because they have the emotional connection,” she explained.

“That is what is causing the imbalance, so if they are able to release that, it will in turn create health in your body.”

All About Energy Healing: Pranic, Tantric, and Reiki

You have probably come across exotic-sounding terms such as “chakra”, “prana”, “aura”, and “tantra” in your course of reading books on spirituality, sex, and healing in the New Age literature section of the bookstore. But what’s the real scoop behind these exotic vocabularies?

Are All Energy Healings the Same?

Chakra or energy center is a term used in Pranic healing, an ancient Hindu system of energy healing. “Prana” means life energy. “Aura” is another terminology traced to Pranic healing. Aura is a non-physical body that consists of energy, which exists along with our physical body. The aura that covers our body is said to have seven layers pertaining to the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of an individual as manifested by energy. Studying the color and thickness of auras give ideas on the state of health of individuals. Six colors are associated with aura and interpreted into six personalities. These colors are all present in an individual but one or two are more pronounced.

Green – ambitious achiever

Blue – spiritual peacemaker

White – unconventional chameleon

Red – activist

Orange – creative communicator

Violet – psychic

Although Tantra is popularly associated with the peculiar practice of sex and spirituality, it is another method of energy healing. It comes from the word “tan” which means to spread or expand. The concept of connectedness is a recurring theme in Tantric writings on sex and spirituality. As a method of healing, spirituality and sex figure prominently. It is presupposed that the union of man and woman can reach spiritual levels during orgasm, which removes the body and mind off collected impurities. These impurities being negative energies can in turn manifest as physical illnesses.

Unlike Pranic and Tantric healings, which have Hindu origins, Reiki originated from Japan. It is relatively younger than Pranic and Tantric healings having been rediscovered in the early 1900’s. Reiki stands for universal energy, an energy brought forth by higher intelligence. Students of Reiki are taught how to tap this energy to heal physical, emotional, and mental illnesses.

Although Pranic, Tantra, and Reiki are all systems of energy healing, they differ in the type of energy tapped for healing: life energy, sexual energy, and universal energy respectively.

The concepts of the connectedness of mind, body, and spirit; the connection of individuals to all living and nonliving things around them and to the universe; and how energy impacts physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being are some of the salient similarities of these three healing methods.

Why Do People Turn to Energy Healing?

Pranic, Tantric, and Reiki are considered alternative methods of healing. In spite of the availability and relative accessibility of modern medicine, how come more and more people are being drawned to them? Here are some possible reasons:

· Energy healing worked where modern medicine failed.

For several reasons both explainable and unexplainable, modern medical treatment failed to heal ailments and conditions in several if not many persons. Research or data may not be able to support this statement. But for the families of the dying as well as for the dying patient, they would take the risk of using alternative methods ranging from herbals and organics, faith healers, witch doctors, and New Age healing techniques just to be get well.

· People perceive modern medicine to be isolating.

Medical treatments are oftentimes focused on the disease and its causative agent, which can make a patient feel isolated and treated like a mere host of the disease. Although recent developments in hospital practice are gradually promoting the holistic treatment of a patient, the perception still persists. Unlike in energy healing, since energy and spirituality are intimately linked, the patient feels that all aspects of his health are being attended to.

· Energy healing is non-obtrusive and natural thus it is safer.

Repeated surgical procedures are physically and emotionally traumatic for most patients. It is but a logical and attractive option to both patient and families to look for less stressful health interventions. Moreover, with the rising popularity of New Age religions, going natural is the way to go.

· Energy healing is a good way of relieving stress.

Meditation is part and parcel of energy healing methods and this is an added come-on for highly stressed people. Moreover, sophisticated equipment is not required thus it becomes all the more convenient for students and future students of energy healing.

The battle between alternative healing and mainstream medicine continues as both present the benefits of their approach. But in the final analysis, what matters is the restoration of good health.

For some readers, this material may be familiar and not particularly startling. For others, you may be feeling quite skeptical. I can understand a skeptic’s reaction considering the history of new scientific discoveries and how human nature typically responds. To know the history of paradigm shifts, however, will help you if you are an open-minded skeptic.

I want to take a moment to talk about paradigms and human nature. It’s amazing to look at the different concepts over the years that were once considered absolutely ridiculous, and now they are considered just common sense. I very strongly believe that using intention to facilitate healing will one day become one of these concepts considered to be common sense. Using the least invasive healing modalities first makes common sense, but this is not practiced in our society. Encouraging people to use their minds to influence changes in their bodies is considered an alternative therapy.

Presently mainstream medicine uses toxic substances to induce cascades of unknown interactions in our bodies. There will come a day when we will be shocked that this was the first choice of treatment, similar to how we now feel about bleeding the patient, which was a commonly accepted medical protocol in the 1800s. In the future we will look back at what we’re doing now in amazement, as we are overlooking the incredible power of intentions in healing. There is now so much solid evidence for healing with intention that the data would fill volumes. In short, I feel that harnessing self-empowerment through focused intention is the way of the future in medicine.

One story that demonstrates how hard it is to shift the paradigm of mainstream thought is that of Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, a highly respected physician. In 1847 he proposed that washing hands and cleaning operating room instruments before procedures would reduce the mortality rate. He was met with harsh criticism from the medical community and ultimately lost his medical practice. People listened to the medical authorities and no one wanted anything further to do with him and his ridiculous idea.

Now we think that this is just common sense, but other physicians at that time cited many reasons to discredit Dr. Semmelweis First, his claim lacked any scientific basis because no theory existed to explain the transfer of disease (germs) between patients by dirty hands or tools. You have to remember this was before Louis Pasteur’s work in the1860′s, so there was no scientific evidence to explain how something invisible could transfer between two individuals—very analogous to the situation of healing with intention. We know it’s happening, but we don’t have a mechanism to prove how it can happen, especially over great distances. I see many similarities between the resistance to the belief in hand-washing and resistance to the belief in healing with intention.

As a result of the unfortunate experience of Dr Semmelweis., someone has coined the phrase “the Semmelweis reflex.” This amazing phenomenon describes a not uncommon human reaction – automatically dismissing or rejecting out of hand new information without thought, inspection or experiment. It is interesting that this reaction is still very common, even 140 years later. Some people are unable to even consider healing by intention, energy healing or healing at a distance, and reject the concept immediately, even though they’ve literally done zero reading on the subject. They have had no experience in the field of energy healing or healing with intention, yet they dismiss it totally from a stance of total ignorance. That is the Semmelweis reflex.

Where are you on the Semmelweis reflex spectrum? You may have little or no skepticism since you are reading this book. but probably you have encountered intelligent individuals who have quite rigid Semmelweis reflexes. First they say “there is no data” and when shown data, either refuse to look at it or describe it as “flawed,” a judgment reached ahead of time. People will only accept new ideas when they are ready to do so.

This attitude may be easier to tolerate in others if we recognize that the resistance to change is a universal human trait, found even at times in those of us who consider ourselves open-minded. I have great respect for scientists who are willing to hold true to their convictions in spite of resistance from mainstream thought.

Millions and millions of people put their personal health care responsibility in the hands of others. In most cases patients are just being managed. When you go to the doctor you usually get a prescription to alleviate the symptoms you have. The real cause and prevention are rarely dealt with. So rather than healing people our system is simply managing them. Most doctors are conditioned to believe that what they are doing is honest patient care with the best knowledge and drugs available to man. This closed minded approach perpetuates the revolving door patient system we have today. We keep feeding people drugs to deal with each symptom that inflicts us. If the drug causes symptoms then we can take another drug to alleviate that problem. There are many people who are taking so many drugs for medication that it is almost impossible to keep track of. This deal with the symptom culture is difficult to change. Many afflictions that we are seeing doctors about these days are a direct result of our diet, chronic use of drugs and vaccines.

You have to take charge of your own wellness. You have to learn and understand your own body and learn how to avoid illness. That doesn’t mean we have to rule out doctors and hospitals totally. We need them for acute emergency situations like heart attacks, auto accidents, broken bones …etc. The best helper for most illnesses is a good immune system. Long-term use of drugs will eventually weaken your immune system and lead to more serious life-threatening diseases.

Most governments have made it difficult for the average person to access alternative treatments. The drug companies wield a lot of power and they have managed to have the governments put controls on alternative treatments in the name of “protecting the public”. You have to do your own research and make an educated decision on what is best for you. If you have a pancreatic problem, learn how the pancreas works, where it is located and what it looks like. This will make it much easier and more realistic when you learn how to do the visualizations I outline in this book.

The next Intention Heals Project will take place on May 30th, 2010 and coincide with the Vancouver workshop.  It will be setup slightly different then the previous project in that it will only involve the intentions of those at the workshop. Future projects will definitely involve all members and take on a more global design. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. We will record the EEG brainwave measurements to show that we are making a connection to an individual. We will also focus on changing the biological markers for kidneys with the intent of improving kidney function. The protocol for this project was designed with the assistance of a number of leading scientists who were very helpful in this manner.

With Adam’s innate healing abilities he is becoming one of the world’s leading experts on intention. Most who are following Adam’s journey know that our intentions influence our health and our reality. Since Adam knows without a doubt that our intentions have an influence on our health, he has a desire to prove it scientifically. Although many of you also understand this, it is important to conduct the scientific research to help others make decisions with regards to their healing. We need your help in this endeavour.

You’re about to have surgery or you are recovering from it. They offer you massage, reiki (Japanese hands-on stress reduction), aromatherapy and healing touch. You have your choice of guided-imagery CDs, live music and good, locally grown food, how and when you want it.

No, this isn’t some New Age, touchy-feely resort. This is the latest development in health care at Ashland Community Hospital, where all staff follow the Planetree model, a patient-centric approach that integrates human caring with the best of scientific medicine and complementary healing traditions, says nurse Kathi Wilcox, vice president for organizational transformation.

“It’s a way to treat the whole person,” says Wilcox. “People are more than their body. We’re recognizing the body, mind and spirit as part of the healing environment.”

HEALING EXPECTATIONS

Our expectations stem from our beliefs. In health issues, the expectation of getting better is a huge step toward recovery. When you expect a positive outcome, you send that healing intention within yourself and beyond yourself as you have set into motion everything to achieve that reality. Activate your own healing through your intentions.

Expectation Exercise

Write a list of what you have done in the past that you enjoyed, what you do for enjoyment now and what you want to do for pleasure in the future. Find photos of these past activities, as an imprint of this image is imprinted in every cell as memory. Remember the sight, sound, smell, taste and feel of it. Become familiar with your recollection and emotional attachment to it. How did it move you? With confidence, project your past wellness and passion of activities you love into future events that you look forward to. This activates your Window of Expectations as you create your future.

Some activities which you can use the collage for are:

· Sports

· Hobbies… music, art… etc

· Social Activities… parties, dancing… etc

· Work…

· School…

· Public Speaking…

See yourself in the state of wellness you want to achieve. Do this in as much detail as you can. This is your personal goal, your dream. See yourself doing what you will do in this state of wellness. Feel how it will feel in this state. Hear the sounds you will hear around you. Smell the air. Do this everyday. Make time for it, and look forward to spending this time with yourself each day.

Our outlook and expectations stem from our beliefs. In health issues, expecting to get better is a huge step toward recovery. As an optimist, you have a better chance of recovery because you expect to recover. This optimistic belief is often described in an almost mystical sense as the will to live. What exactly is the will to live? It is a self-declaration of the intent to survive. It is the unwavering belief that this will happen. When you expect a positive outcome, you send that intention within yourself and beyond yourself via bio-photon emissions, initiating a cascade of biochemical reactions in the body that will maximize the possibility of this event actually occurring. Your thoughts have set everything in motion to achieve what you expect to happen. And guess what? It does influence events.

Find images of yourself or others doing exercises that you once did or presently do. Paste your picture in the center of a collage with all the sport activity images pasted around your image. This collage is what you use to visualize your future activities or goals that you intend to reach. This same method could be used if you are trying to find a job. Find pictures of scenes to do with the type of job you would like and paste them around your image in the collage.
