Defining key words for the reader is essential, especially when writing on a topic such as energy work. The majority of the people in our society choose traditional medical therapies to treat disease and disorders of the body. Energy medicine is fairly unknown in general circles, and for many people, if they have heard about it, they usually have no idea what is entailed in the process. Some people even have quite negative connotations associated with the term "energy medicine." In defining the following terms, I hope to shed light on some of those misconceptions. My hope is that by educating people a little more, the fear of energy medicine will be gone and they will be more open to the process.

For my five words I chose: energy, energy work, vibrations, energy systems, and clearing. In school we are taught about the different body systems but I don't recall ever being taught anything about the actual energy that powers those systems. Energy flows through the body in vibrations, similar to sound waves, or light waves. It flows through seven different energy systems that support and balance the body, giving it the information it needs to function. Energy healers are trained to work with these energy systems to make sure that everything is flowing freely, without anything blocking the flow, and making sure that the energy is good. The term used to describe this process is clearing.

I am the first one to admit that energy work does not fit well into the traditional paradigm of healing. I can also state without question that learning about energy work, and then experiencing it, changed my life. My goal is to educate more people on the wonderful world of energy healing. By doing so, I hope to change other lives.

    I've never thought of energy flowing through a body as vibrations. I like the idea of that. I think it helps argue your point about energy healing because it makes the statement that negative energy is held within us and these vibrations seem to be a way of dealing with it for normal body function.

    Cosette, this is very interesting to read. I wonder if that is the reason why some magnetic treatments work, so I hear. That makes sense and having gone through a 10 week deep massage therapy, I heard my body make some funky noises I had not heard before. The therapist explained it as captured vibrations that needed to be released. I didn’t really understand that but having read this blog entry, I know what she was talking about. Very good blog, I enjoyed it and most importantly, I learned. Thank you.

    You nailed this one! I really enjoyed reading it. What ways did the author use to define the words? Being introduced to energy work at a young age, I am familiar with most the terms. One thing that I think may be helpful(to those that aren't familiar with it) is to find a subject that majority of people know. For example, combine the medical healing methods with the the emotional/spiritual methods of healing.

    I enjoyed reading your post. I know nothing about energy medicine and the terms associated with it. You're right, through out school I don't ever remember learning about energy of our body, only the energy associated with science. Thank you for bring me some insight.
