Energy Healing

Energetic healing is ancient. It works on a paradigm that is more similar to quantum physics than a standard scientific or medical paradigm. Western medicine seeks to isolate a condition and treat that, rather than seeing the condition as part of the entire global wellbeing of the person. Systems are seen as autonomous rather than interconnected, and often treatment is for the symptom rather than the deep systemic cause of the problem. Energetic medicine takes a different view. Rather than looking at a symptom, such as headaches for instance, the practitioner looks at the overall wellbeing of the patient. The entire system of the person is put back into harmony, so that the symptom of headaches is no longer produced by the body. Sometimes this can take a bit longer, because the body has to become harmonised. However the result will be long lasting and the patient will not be needing to take copious amounts of pain killing medication on a regular basis. Because the whole person is treated, the energetic treatment for headaches may also alleviate problems such as sleeplessness, back pain, depression and a raft of other things. Ones sense of wellbeing is heightened.

 

Foundation of IYS therapy

Shakti Durga practiced and taught Pranic Healing under the guidance and direction of Master Choa Kok Sui, who was Her first Guru. She has profound love and respect for this great, inspired and compassionate man who selflessly devoted his life to the wellbeing of others. He was the founder of modern Pranic Healing which is a global network of healers. Pranic healing like IYS therapy involves the drawing in of energy from the endless sea of energy that surrounds us. This energy is then directed in various ways by the practitioner to the energetic field and bodily cells of the recipient. First there are cleaning techniques, and then there are energising techniques. The two steps of cleansing and energising are kept separate in both healing modalities.

 

During Pranic Healing as taught by Master Choa the patient is the recipient of the healing, which is given to the patient by the healer. There is no discussion. Silence and a meditative atmosphere are maintained in a clean environment for best effects. The healer focuses upon set energetic 'recipes' which were devised by Master Choa and the results are excellent. Chakras, the aura and affected bodily parts are thoroughly cleaned and then energised by the therapist according to the protocols which s/he follows.

 

In IYS therapy we also strive to operate in an energetically clean environment, and the healer transfers energy from the environment to the client. Chakras, the aura and affected bodily parts are thoroughly cleansed and then energised in a similar manner to Pranic Healing. However in IYS therapy the client is an active participant in the healing. There is a strong counselling and educational component to IYS therapy which is not present in pranic healing as taught by Master Choa.

 

Expanded Paradigm

Western medicine looks at a problem often in isolation from the rest of the person. Eastern medicine and Western herbal medicine looks at the whole person and adjusts entire body to find harmony and wellness. Accupuncture does this and adds in the meridian system, which is a non-physical network of energy pathways, similar to the nerve pathways through the body but more extensive. Pranic healing looks at the whole person and includes in the equation the etheric or energy body of the person including the aura and chakras. Ignite Your Spirit therapy includes the entire system of the person and includes in the analysis the physical body, energy body, the astral field or consciousness (thinking habits) of the person as well as the soul itself, of which the other parts examined are like fingers to a hand. There is often rapid transformation of health, outlook and wellbeing because of this multi-dimensional approach to healing.

 

Scientific Study of IYS Therapy and Depression

 

Pre and post IYS treatment findings on Severe depression

 

Depression

In 2008 a clinical study of people with severe depression was carried out. Of the 27 participants who began the study, 20 completed the program follow-up, a good retention rate among this population. To be eligible for the study at baseline, participants had to reach moderate to severe levels of depressive symptomatology and have a diagnosis of depressive disorder confirmed by their mental heath professional or GP. The mean level of depression among the group at baseline, as rated on the depression scale of the Depression Anxiety and Scale (DASS) was 27.1, which is severe to extremely severe depression. By follow up this had significantly reduced to 10.5 [t(19) = 6.05, p < 0.001], classified as mild depression (where below 10 on this scale is normal), as displayed in figure 1.

Scientific studies: Laboratory testing gives validation to Pranic Healing

 

Joie P. Jones, Professor of Radiological Sciences. University of California Irvine, Irvine, CA

Numerous experiments were done in the USA under the direction of Professor Jones of University of California, using Pranic Healing, which is a similar form of healing to IYS therapy. 

 It found that pranic healing can reverse the effects of radiation on cells in culture.  There were cells kept in a control group and cells that were the subject of pranic healing. The results showed overwhelmingly that the intervention of pranic healing created a huge change in the cells. Many people have tried to conduct results on energy healing but one of th major findings was that the experiments worked much more effectively in an energetically clean laboratory compared to a dirty lab. This has major implications for hospitals and medical treatment centres. The cells in human bodies are sensitive to subtle energy and their capacity to heal is affected by an energetically dirty environment, and is enhanced by a clean environment.

 

It is our hope and vision that in the future IYS therapy along with other world class energetic healing modalities will be practiced in all medical institutions along side Western medicine.

The objective of our long term study, conducted over the past eight years, was to critically evaluate Pranic Healing in a laboratory setting using rigorous mainstream scientific methods.In this study, we investigated possible mediation effects of Pranic Healing on human cells in culture, which had been subjected to gamma radiation. We chose human HeLa cells for our study since radiation survival rates are well known for such cells and this laboratory model is well established and well characterized for radiation effects studies.

 

Here the goal of the Pranic healers involved in our study was to alter the effects of radiation and enhance the survival rates of the HeLa cells

What we define as a single experiment utilized 10 identical petri dishes containing HeLa cells in culture. The dishes were numbered: xA1, xA2, xB1,... xE2, where x is the experiment number. Here, A1 and A2 served as controls; 131 and 132 were subjected to radiation only; C1 and C2 were given Pranic Healing after radiation; D1 and D2 were given Pranic Healing before radiation; and E1 and E2 were given PranicHealing both before and after radiation. Radiation levels and exposure times were chosen to produce a 50% survival rate 24 ours post radiation. Here we report on 520 such single experiments using ten different individual Pranic Healers and four groups of healers.

In experiments using a single Pranic Healer, typical survival rates increased from an expected 50% to over 90% for cells treated both before and after radiation. The distance between the healer and the cells proved unimportant. Shielding the cells and the healer from electromagnetic and gamma radiation had no effect on the results. The experience of the healer proved to be slightly important.

Experiments involving a group of Pranic Healers, suggests that group healing enhances the desired effect. Even though these results are remarkable, healers produced no effect whatever in about 12% of the total runs. Although the reasons for these failures are not fully understood, further experimentation indicates that appropriate preparation of the laboratory space is essential to produce a significant outcome. That is, poorer results are seen in a dirty environment.

Our study, the details of which will be published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, clearly shows that Pranic Healing can reverse the effects of radiation on cells in culture.

These findings are quite remarkable and are difficult if not impossible to explain in terms of the standard scientific paradigm.A Newtonian physics world view, which serves as the basis for contemporary biology and Western medicine, is incapable of explaining these experimental results; however, the data are quite consistent with a quantum mechanical world view.

Science: Biologist validates that consciousness affects cells

What and how we think has been shown to affect our health. Some ground breaking work by Dr Bruce Lipton, a stem cell biologist, has shown that cells are sensitive to our mental and emotional states. Our wellbeing has more to do with what and how we think than we have ever previously realised. It is for this reason that we added counselling and education to the energetic healing foundation work of pranic healing to arrive at a new healing modality called Ignite Your Spirit. Thousands of people have benefited now from our groundbreaking approach to treating the whole body, mind and spirit of our clients.

 

Here is some information about the work of Dr Lipton taken from his website, www.brucelipton.com 

n 1982, Dr. Lipton began examining the principles of quantum physics and how they might be integrated into his understanding of the cell’s information processing systems. He produced breakthrough studies on the cell membrane, which revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue of a computer chip, the cell’s equivalent of a brain. His research at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, between 1987 and 1992, revealed that the environment, operating though the membrane, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off. His discoveries, which ran counter to the established scientific view that life is controlled by the genes, presaged one of today’s most important fields of study, the science of epigenetics. Two major scientific publications derived from these studies defined the molecular pathways connecting the mind and body. Many subsequent papers by other researchers have since validated his concepts and ideas.

Dr. Lipton’s novel scientific approach transformed his personal life as well. His deepened understanding of cell biology highlighted the mechanisms by which the mind controls bodily functions, and implied the existence of an immortal spirit. He applied this science to his personal biology, and discovered that his physical well-being improved, and the quality and character of his daily life was greatly enhanced.

There are many video clips of Dr Lipton speaking on his fascinating work. A short one concerning fear, stress and health is here: 

 

 

Sound and healing

As well as utilising light energy and pranic energy, which is what happens in Reiki and Pranic healing, IYS therapy also embraces sound therapy. The effect of sound upon our bodies has been researched and there is a body of work that shows music to be a profound healing tool.

 

Modern medicine now uses sound waves(lithotripter machine) to break up kidney and gallstones in the body. It bombards the stones with a specific sound frequency for one or two hours. The patient is admitted in the morning and discharged in the evening. Generally no anesthetic is needed. With most patients only one treatment is necessary. The pulverized stone is passed out of the body through the urine.

 

At the Centre for Neurobiology of Learning and Memory an experiment was done by Dr Frances H Rauscher. In that test, spatial IQ was shown to improve  8 or 9 points with just 10 minutes of listening to Mozart (the Mozart Effect by Don Campbell).

 

Plant experiments have shown that heavy rock music causes plant growth to be stunted and inhibits flowering. In greenhouses where Indian music or Bach was played the plants were in optimal health with prolific growth and flowering. Country music was the same as the control group of plants to whom no music was played: ordinary growth.

 

Two breast cancer patients made complete recoveries after toning for 3 hours per day over the period of one month. In one woman the tumour vanished completely during that time and in the other, the tumour when operated on was found to be reduced and dry. There were no metastases.

 

 Scientists at Michigan State University found that levels of interleukin-1 (an immune-cell messenger molecule that helps to regulate the activity of other immune cells) increased by 12.5 to 14% when subjects listened to music for only 15 minutes. (the Science of Sound healing, 1993)

Participants who listened to music they themselves preferred--whether Mozart, light jazz, New Age, or impressionist such as Ravel--exhibited up to 25% lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that can depress the immune system when produced in excess after 15 minutes of music. 

 

Researchers at University of Alberta have used a sound based technology, Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) to gently massage teeth roots and jawbones to cause growth and have grown new teeth. As of June 2006, a device has been licensed by the FDA and Health Canada for use by dentists.

 

Deforia Lane in a book Music as Medicine reports on a research study done at the California State University. Thirty migraine sufferers were studied for a five week period. There were three groups. One group listened to their favorite music. The other group used relaxation and biofeedback techniques. The third group was the control group, they did neither. All three groups received the same amount of migraine medication. At the end of the study the results were clear, music proved the most effective supplemental technique. A follow-up a year later showed that the patients who continued to make listening to music a regular part of their daily routine reported an 83% decrease in migraines.

 

Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, medical oncologist  uses quartz crystal singing bowls as a part of his medical practice claiming several cases of patients who had tumors completely disappear after being exposed to the sound of the bowls. Many of his other patients who incorporated the crystal bowls into a daily lifestyle habit had a much higher than standard recovery rate with less negative effects from chemotherapy and radiation.

 

At Shanti Mission Harmony Centres we focus upon the healing energy of Indian chant music which has been shown to have beneficial health effects. Group healing occurs in our regular sating programs where sound and energy healing are practiced together in a group setting, with excellent results.
