Alternative healing is based on the use of our life-force energy to heal or restore a state of harmony and proper function of our mind, emotions, spirit, and physical body.
Conventional medicine focuses mainly on the physical level, looking at symptoms, making a diagnosis, and treating the disease with pharmaceuticals or surgery to fix the problem. Alternative healing recognizes that the body is more than the physical. What gives us life is the body’s life-force energy (also know as chi, qi, ki, élan vital, spirit, prana, God-love energy or soul). This internal energy must be balanced and flowing properly in order for the body to be healthy and have a strong immune system. This energy also extends beyond the physical body as the aura, which is visible to some healers and can even be photographed. The alternative healing concept is that when the body’s energy is blocked or depleted, it then manifests in the physical as pain, an imbalance of body chemistry, organ malfunction, and eventually disease.
Rather than focusing on the symptoms, an alternative healing practitioner, who generally has the ability to see or feel the energy block, channels Creator sourced energy to remove the blocks, and balance and restore proper flow. They may trace back to the source of the problem which is generally a chronic emotional (fear, anger, sadness) condition unconsciously held in one’s energy field from this lifetime or another lifetime. The healing occurs as a result of an improved flow of the energy, which in turn effects a change on the physical and emotional levels. When the source of the illness or disease is healed, recurrence is eliminated. Alternative healers agree that they facilitate or guide the healing process and that the actual healing is done by whomever or whatever created us. Therefore it is not necessary to understand what is happening with the energy or to believe in the technique in order for someone to heal.
Anything from spontaneous healing and tissue regeneration, to curing cancer and a wide range of auto-immune diseases, to recovery from addiction and depression and the restoration of general good health has been achieved with alternative healing.
Complementary healing is the combined use of alternative healing practices and conventional medicine. Some people see this as the best of both worlds, embracing the alternative healing to maintain the best possible energy flow and mitigate the side effects of surgery and pharmaceuticals on their path to good health.
