While these three topics are realms unto themselves, they share at least one thing in common—the mind. We don’t often consider the mind as an energetic phenomenon interacting with the other energetic aspects of our human condition. However, the mind and its beliefs are fields of energy that have been shaped by the prevailing cultural world view as it clashes or cooperates with the calling of the soul.

This series will explore energy medicine, mental health, and the pursuit of consciousness from the perspective of the energetic mind. Energy medicine can stabilize emotional states and release to consciousness memories stored in the body below the cortex. Psychotherapy, in its cognitive/cortical pursuit of consciousness leads to insights that support growth and mental health. Energy medicine combined with psychotherapy can speed up the process of insight and change considerably.

This series will focus on the role of the aura’s mental body, i.e. the mind, in illness and healing. This will include its relationship to our body, emotions, world view, and spirituality, and how working with the energy field affects these related aspects of our daily life. Additional topics will include energy techniques to alleviate physical pain and emotional distress, the energetic components of resistance and trauma, EFT, Bach Flower Essences, Reiki and distance healing. References will include Gift of the Body by Jonathan Goldman, Energy Medicine by Donna Eden with David Feinstein, Ph.D., and other sources. A list of references will be provided during the first class along with handouts as the class proceeds.
