What are subtle energies?

This vital energy is everywhere.  It is an ever present force that circulates and moves in the environment.  The subtle body is comprised of a network of energy channels and chakras.  Nature has designed the senses, chakras and energy channels to receive information in the environment. 

These energy centers are responsible for distributing energy throughout the subtle body.  When the body is balanced these subtle energies flow freely through the chakras and channels, and the physical body is strong and healthy.  When there are energy blockages, it can result in physical, mental and emotional disease.

What is the difference between healing and curing?

Healing and curing area different processes. Curing is the elimination of signs and symptoms of disease, which may or may not relate to the end of that disease or discomfort.  It is usually focused on the person as a physical entity. Curing may not be possible but healing is always possible. 

The potential for healing exists within every human being.  Healing is a process and may occur with or without curing.  It often cannot be measured but only observed. Healing encourages the emergence of a harmonious relationship among the body, mind, and spirit of a person that leads to greater integrity of their whole system. Energetic healing is not instantaneous; it occurs gradually.  It promotes and assists the process of healing.

What is meant by “Wholeness”?

According to B. Dossey, (2005) “wholeness” is frequently described as harmony of body, mind and spirit. Wholeness involves more than the intactness of physical structure and function or the status of isolated parts of a person. This term suggests that wholeness is not necessarily a state of any kind, but a process that is fundamentally about relationship. Wholeness is about the relationship of the parts of a system to one another and to the larger systems of which they are a part. According to David Bohm, increasing the wholeness of a system is about establishing a pattern of relationships among the elements that is more and more coherent. Healing, if it is a process of being or becoming whole, must be an emerging pattern of relationships among the elements of the whole person that leads to greater integrity, connection, and cohesion of the whole system. This pattern of relationship can be called right relationship. Healing is the emergence of right relationship at or between or among any and all levels of the human experience. It is a process rather than a state. It is dynamic, and it always affects the whole person, no matter at what level the shift actually occurs.

How does distance healing work?

It is now believed that consciousness is non-local in that it is not bound to individual bodies. The minds of individuals are spread throughout space and time; they are infinite, immortal, omnipresent, and ultimately, one. The effects of consciousness create bridges between different persons, as with distant healing, intercessory prayer, shamanic healing, so-called miracles and certain emotions (e.g. love, empathy, compassion).

Are there side effects from the Quantum Biofeedback EPFX?

Biofeedback is a non-invasive procedure considered to be generally safe. Biofeedback does not use any needles, skin penetration or other invasive procedures. It is possible that biofeedback may exacerbate some emotional problems, at least temporarily, during the biofeedback training sessions. Some clients may become drowsy. Other potentially harmful side effects not yet reported may occur. Other possible side effects of biofeedback training may include a reduction of aches and pains, anger, anxiety, blood pressure, depression, dizziness, grief or sorrow, palsy, reaction times, tics or other pathological conditions; and an increase in focus, attention, concentration, short and long term memory, mental dexterity, physical strength, dexterity and mobility, general well-being and an increase in joy, happiness, courage and peace of mind. However, there is no guarantee biofeedback training will result in any of these generally beneficial side effects.

Does Reiki conflict with medical treatment?

Reiki is a great complement to both holistic and allopathic (western) medical treatment.  It does not intrude on these other treatments or introduce anything that would react with them.  It supports the body’s innate, natural ability to heal itself.

Can I learn Reiki? I have never done anything like this before?

The ability to learn Reiki is passed on from teacher to student.  It is not dependent on a past knowledge or ability.   Once the student is connected to the Reiki energy through the teacher it does not go away. It is relatively easy to learn but requires practice to increase perception and ability.

Is Reiki a religion?

Reiki is not a religion although it tends to strengthen people’s sense of a spiritual connection in a way that is right for them.  It can facilitate the graceful unfolding of the higher self when one is ready.

Can I pick up “negative energy” from doing Reiki?

Energetic healing is the art of working with “universal” life energy.  The human energy system is in constant, dynamic equilibrium with this energy in its environment.  This is the non-physical energy that animates all things.  Because Reiki is guided by God consciousness, it can never do harm. In Reiki, this energy is channeled and so the practitioners’ energy is never depleted.
