The past is only your
memory of the past
The future is your
anticipation of the future
The present is transient and exists only in your mind.

What is Energy Medicine?

Energy Medicine addresses every dimension of one’s being; and uses a holistic approach. The physical body is held by the human energy field and therefore has a dynamic, fluid and ever changing relationship to our thoughts, feelings and higher spiritual aspirations. The healer assists clients to come into a deeper communication with all levels of their being and the process of healing and disease by being present as a witness, counselor and channel for healing energy. Through a series of regular sessions the healer clears, charges, balances and supports the human energy field to release patterns of disease and find new ways of responding to the world. The client is encouraged to look at all areas of their life and to set up a healing plan with health care providers and family members. The benefits of working with a healer are many. On the physical level healing energies are introduced into the patients field, which decrease pain and speed the healing process. Mental and emotional confusion are cleared so that the patient may begin to see how their experiences and beliefs have contributed to their disease. Spiritually, patients find a sense of peace and renewed connection with the Divine.


Who benefits from Energy Medicine?

A wide range of people benefit from energy medicine in the form of the treatments described here. I work with individuals of all ages, couples, families, children, groups and organizations. While many of my clients work with me in Santa Fe, I also practice long distance healing.


What is the Human Energy Field, or Human Aura?

Barbara Brennan:

“The Human Energy Field is the manifestation of the universal energy that is intimately involved with human life. It can be described as a luminous body that surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body, emits its own characteristic radiation and is usually called the “aura.”

The auric field is a quantum leap deeper into our personality than is our physical body. It is at this level of our being that our psychological processes take place. The aura is the vehicle for all psychosomatic reactions.

The physical body arises out of the energy field, thus an imbalance or distortion in this field will eventually cause a disease in the physical body that it governs. Therefore, healing distortions in the field will bring about healing in the physical body.

The human energy field is composed of an infinite number of levels. We focus primarily on the seven lower levels in our Professional Brennan Healing Science Program. Each level penetrates through the body and extends outward from the skin. Each successive level is of a “higher frequency” or a “higher octave.” Each extends out from the skin several inches farther than the one within it of lower frequency. The odd-numbered levels are structured fields of standing, scintillating light beams. The first, third, fifth, and seventh levels of this field are structured in a specific form. The even-numbered levels-the second, fourth, and sixth–are filled with formless substance/energy.”


What will I experience during a hands on healing treatment?

Each session is unique to the individual client, however, in most cases one will feel the sensation of energy moving through the body. With this comes a feeling of deep relaxation and letting go. Some clients think that they are sleeping, but are really in an altered state of consciousness. Time and space become one and the session may seem to fly by as sometimes happens during meditation.

Feelings and memories that one has forgotten become known and integrated into present time. Afterwards most everyone feels very relaxed, alert, clear minded and peaceful.


What is Chi Nei Tsang (Internal Organ Massage and Energy Cultivation Practices)?

Chi Nei Tsang is Taoist abdominal massage designed to provide deep healing by working directly on internal dysfunctions and energy blocks. Literally meaning, “organ chi transformations” or “changing the energy in the viscera”, Chi Nei Tsang promotes physical, mental and emotional well being.

A holistic approach to massage therapy, Chi Nei Tsang originated in Taoist monasteries to help monks detoxify, strengthen and refine their bodies in order to carry the high energy required to perform the highest levels of spiritual practices. Today Chi Nei Tsang is used as a holistic approach to self care which addresses individuals in their entire practice complexity, integrating physical, mental and emotional aspects.

Chi Nei Tsang works mainly on the abdomen, training the organs to work more efficiently. It addresses all the vital systems of the body, digestive, respiratory, lymphatic, nervous, endocrine, urinary, reproductive, integumentary and muscular.

Chi Nei Tsang sessions include coaching in breathing, nutrition, visualization, and self-manipulation, promoting the ethic of self-responsibility and breaking the cycle of dependency in a practical manner.

Chi Nei Tsang detoxifies and relives the body of excess stagnation. It improves elimination and stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory system. It strengthens the immune system and resistance to diseases.

Chi Nei Tsang helps to restructure and strengthen the body by working on the visceral structures and positioning of internal organs. This stimulates the organs into working better and helps to correct postural problems resulting from visceral imbalances. It releases deep seated tensions and restores vitality.
Chi Nei Tsang allows the process of emotional life to unfold and clarify. All of our non processed emotional life is stored in our digestive system waiting to be addressed. Poor emotional digestion is one of the main reasons for ill health.
