How to Strengthen Your Child's Immune System Energetically

A visitor asked recently how to strengthen a child's immune system through energy.

I can relate to that question. When my daughter was 8, she went through a period of having one serious illness after another. She missed weeks of school.

My husband and I were of course distraught. Her medical doctor just shrugged when we asked what might be causing this apparent immune system melt-down, and what we might do about it.

We ended up taking her to the wonderful Seattle (Washington, U.S.) homeopathic doctor (and naturopath), Richard Mann. Dr. Mann prescribed a constitutional remedy for her, and she improved greatly. She's 16 now, and has never had another bout with pneumonia or other serious illness since.

Homeopathy is a vibrational (energetic) medicine, and I highly recommend it to strengthen a child's immune system.

Of course, I also did energy work for her (at that point in my life, Reiki).

Energy healing is a wonderful, loving, relaxing way to strengthen your child's immune system. The most important thing is to "listen the energy," but in general I'd recommend grounding, and smoothing and balancing of the field, along with balancing the first, second, and fourth chakras in particular. For more detailed information go to this page on my website about energetically working with injury and illness. Donna Eden's book "Energy Medicine" is also full of suggestions.

If the child is old enough, teach her or him some basic energetic techniques such as grounding, centering, self-calming, surrounding her/himself with light, and strengthening the boundaries of his/her field. Teach your child how to play with and control the boundaries of his/her field, drawing it in closer when necessary for self-protection and to concentrate strength.

I’d also recommend what I might call "practical energetics." Knowing how much the mind and emotions influence the immune system, look at what's going on emotionally in your child's life. Look deep. For example, school--even when the school is "good" and the teacher is nice--is not a benign place for every child.

Get your child out in the natural world a lot. This is one of the best things you can do. Hike, go to the forest, the lake, the river, the beach, even just the park. Activity and fresh air work on both a physical and an energetic level to strengthen the immune system.

Allow your child to have plentiful contact with animals. Domestic animals tend to be wonderful healers, helping to buffer, absorb, and balance energies.

Teach your child--or have someone else, such as a counselor--teach her, how to be respectfully assertive. This helps your child develop energetic as well as psychological boundaries.

Stress inhibits immune system function, so teaching your child relaxation techniques and providing a calm home atmosphere are other ways to enhance their immune function on both physical and energetic levels. You can learn some good relaxation techniques here.

I wish every parent and every child radiant health and a loving relationship.

Upcoming movie "The Difference." Is it a Scam?

The short answer is "perhaps." Could be the producer's intentions are entirely good.

But it seems that if you're being asked to "participate," as many alternative health care providers are, what they are looking for is investors. At least that's what an early almost-adopter is saying.

The people making the movie have been contacting people (I received both an email and a phone call)in alternative health fields and asking them to "get involved" in what they claim will be a historic, ground-breaking, evolutionary movie that's kinda sorta like "The Secret."

In neither the email nor the phone message I received was it clear how they wanted me to "be involved." But the messages were intriguing, and of course, complimentary, designed to make me feel kind of special.

I got the email first and it sounded fishy to me, especially since I couldn't find any more specific information on the web, so I deleted the message.

Then I got a voicemail message. I wondered where on earth they got my home phone, since it's my business phone that I put on my websites. Felt kind of intrusive and creepy.

So I searched the web again for information, came up with the same vague claptrap--until I found a 2/17/10 blog entry by a woman from San Diego who had received the same invitation and actually attended an event to learn more about "getting involved" with "The Difference."

In short, what she found was that it was a pitch for investors. They were asking for money. And apparently they don't even have a concept for the movie, let alone a movie.

Here's the address of her blog post:http://www.planetwendi.com/2010/02/the-movie-the-difference

It may not be a scam to take advantage of a demographic group that's generally generous and trusting. But even at it's best, if what Wendi from San Diego says is true, it doesn't sound to me like a very promising business proposition.

My goal in posting this is to help get some more information out about this movie, so that people can make a more informed decision about whether or not they want to "participate."

I wish the highest and best good for everyone involved.

Music for Clearing Your Energy Field

A visitor to the site recently asked about music for clearing the energy field. What a great question!

Music is so powerful, and can be a great way to clear your field.

Personally, I usually go for calm, relaxing music to clear my field. Artists who always do the trick for me are Carlos Nakai, Nawang Khechog, and Krishna Das. Certain classical music is good too--I find Mozart works well. I also like nature sounds incorporated into music. A lot of the music that Jeffrey Thompson produces through the Relaxation Company using alpha brain waves is also very clearing (and relaxing). Flutes, too, seem to work well for clearing and smoothing my energy.

I use all of these artists (and others) in my healing practice as well.

But sometimes vigorous, percussive music is fabulous for "clearing the cobwebs"! It just depends.

I think that any music that is created with a good intention and that holds a high vibration can be effective--and what works for one person might not work for another. I think that everyone is going to develop their own favorites. Fortunately there's so much out there to choose from.

If you have some favorite music for clearing your field, feel free to write me using the "Contact Me" form on my website (bottom of the nav bar). I'll publish people's favorites at some point.

Choosing a Good Healer/Energy Healer Ethics

I was recently asked how to tell a good healer from a bad healer.

Interesting question!

First, let me say that the effects of a healing might be subtle, and might not be felt for days or even weeks after the healing. They might occur, and you don't notice them because they don't come in the form you expect. You might even feel worse for a while after a healing. (This is called a healing crisis--it should be brief.)

There are many ways that a healing might seem to have no effect, or even a negative effect. So you might think that even a very good, effective healer is a "bad healer."

I think a more important way to evaluate a healer is by their ethics. Among other things, an ethical healer should:

• Practice informed consent (i.e. communicate with you about what they're going to do and get your OK to do it)
• Keep your sessions confidential
• Not attempt to diagnose medical or psychological conditions (unless they are also a medical or psychotherapy professional)
• Urge you to seek and follow conventional medical or mental health advice whenever you have a medical or mental health issue
• Not interfere with medical or mental health treatment
• Not pressure you to make subsequent appointments
• Not initiate or allow any sexual or romantic contact or relations (or violate any other boundaries that make you feel uncomfortable)
• Answer your questions clearly (although I have to admit that some things about energy healing are hard for me to explain easily, partly because we just don't have the vocabulary to talk about them yet)
• Not make grandiose claims, and especially not make promises to heal you of life-threatening illnesses or conditions.

Another way I would evaluate a healer is by talking to her or his former clients. Did the clients feel they were treated ethically? Did they notice any impact or change?

I'd also want to talk to the healer at least by phone, and ask them a number of questions.

You can find those questions, and more information about choosing a healer, at Choosing a Healer.

I wish you radiant good health and wonderful people in your life to support you in maintaining it!

Energy Fields and Pain

Happy New Year to everyone!

A recent visitor to The Energy Healing Site was inquiring about feeling physical pain in the energy field.

It's been my experience that pain can usually if not always be felt in the field. When I'm working with someone who's in pain, I feel it as a disturbance in the field near--though not always directly over--the site of their physical pain.

Occasionally when I'm doing energy work near the site of a client's physical pain, I experience it as pain in my own hand . However, this pain doesn't hurt the same way "my own" pain does. It's as if I am experiencing pain without the dimension of suffering. (For me, that's always a lesson in how much additional suffering we cause ourselves with our fear and other emotions that we attach to pain.)

Energy healing can often diminish pain. This is especially true for cases where the pain is largely caused by thoughts and emotions.

In my own experience, energy healing also often reduces or removes pain with obvious physical causes such as injuries or surgery. When pain has an actual physical cause, I'm not sure if the pain itself is actually "removed," or if my client's emotional reaction to it (fear, anger, resistance, etc.) is removed. Whatever the reason, I've seen clients who were practically writhing in pain just hop up and go about their business after an energy healing.

My hope (and goal for creating this site) is that eventually someone in every family will know how to do basic energy work--the same way the adults in a family know how to clean and dress a scraped knee or tend a child's cold. Energy healing is so valuable, so loving--and it never does any harm.

Wishing you a radiant and joyful 2010.
