ENERGY BASED
HEALING
Energy
based healing, sometimes called vibrational medicine
refers to those therapies where the practitioner works
directly with the human energy system to restore harmony
and balance. Energy based healing is based on the
fundamental assumption that there is a universal life
energy that sustains all living organisms.
Interruptions to the flow and balance of this energy are
seen as resulting in impaired wellbeing and eventually
illness. For a detailed description of energy
based healing refer to:-
Hall
J (2001) Energy based healing Diversity : Magazine of
the Australian Complementary Health Association 2:
5 26-34.
Hand
mediated energy based healing (hands on healing)
This group of
energy based healing therapies use the hands combined
with conscious intent and intuitive processes to work
with the energy system. There are many different
forms of hands-on-healing including those offered at
Healing Dimensions (see below for a more detailed
description of a selection of these therapies).
Studies of Therapeutic Touch which is the most widely
researched form, and also Healing Touch show that these
modalities can:-
¨
Promote relaxation
¨
Reduce anxiety, stress and pain
Enhance the healing response including wound healing
¨
Restore health and vitality
¨
Assist in the last days of life and with grieving
¨
Integrate effectively with modern medicine and other
healing approaches
Healing
Touch
Healing Touch is a philosophy, a way of caring and a sacred
healing art. It is defined as an energy based
therapeutic approach to healing. A variety of
techniques are used to treat the human energy system,
thereby assisting the client to self heal. The
goal is to restore and maintain wholeness through
harmony and balance.
FLOWER
ESSENCES
Flower
essences were first developed by Dr Edward Bach in the
1930’s. The energetic or vibrational pattern of
selected plants are imprinted on a transport medium,
namely water. The plants are chosen according to
their characteristics which reflect healing
properties. Flower essences work at the
vibrational level to balance the energy system and so
aid in re-patterning of the emotional, spiritual and
physical state of the individual. They combine
very well with hand mediated energy based healing and
can be taken after sessions to assist and extend the
balancing which has occurred. Flower essences are
taken as drops under the tongue twice a day, they may
also be applied to the skin, used in a spritzer or in a
bath.
GUIDED
IMAGERY AND CREATIVE VISUALISATION
Guided
imagery and creative visualisation involves the use of
the mind and the imagination to facilitate
healing. These strategies can be used to
access inner wisdom and to enhance relaxation, healing,
life change, and personal growth. Studies in the
area of mind-body medicine have demonstrated their
efficacy in supporting the healing response. They
have also been used widely in sport for many years as an
aid to enhancing performance. Pictures, images and
senses are used or accessed and strategies such as
writing, drawing are taught to enhance the process.
Cutting
the Ties That Bind are a series of specific images
developed by Phyllis Krystal, which are particularly
useful for dealing with relationships.
ENERGY
BASED THERAPEUTIC DIALOGUE
This
involves the use of listening, dialogue and
understandings and insights gained through energy based
healing and other strategies. These are
combined to assist the person to identify areas for
change, to develop clarity around their life and to
re-pattern thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Strategies for enhancing self awareness and reflection
are also provided.
ARCHETYPAL
THEORY AND PRACTICE
Carl
Jung first coined the term archetype to describe the
primordial images, behavioural patterns and cultural
expressions which express great and universal truths
about what it is to be human. Archetypal theory
can be utilised to take a new perspective on life and to
understand our own and other people’s behaviour.
They contain great wisdom and can provide guidance for
dealing with life and its challenges. At Healing
Dimensions, archetypal understandings are used with
therapeutic dialogue and healing, as the basis for
workshops and in the form of archetypal chart
readings.
Healers
Journey Workshop
(Life Design II)
The
healer archetype is used as a basis for the Healers
Journey Workshop and retreats.
Archetypal
Chart Readings
Based
on the work of Caroline Myss. Caroline has
developed a model for determining the presence and stage
development of archetypal patterns in our lives.
She identifies 4 major archetypes which are common to
each situation, these are the victim, saboteur,
prostitute and child. Another eight archetypes
(which can be self or blind selected) make up the twelve
primary patterns which influence our lives. Each
archetype is assigned to a house of the astrological
wheel. The relationship between the archetypes,
their place on the wheel and their stage of development
provide wonderful source of understanding of our life
patterns, areas of block and focus for further
work. It is usual to begin with a natal chart,
after that the model can be applied to any life
situation.
Life design and coaching assists
you to access the resources and support you need to
expand your ability to be CREATIVE and EFFECTIVE in
life, love, work and times of challenge.
Life

helping professions. An understanding of the
healer archetype provides a basis for sessions which are
designed to replenish, support and assist in us deal

community care.
How
we think affects how we see and understand life.
This determines how we relate to ourselves and
others and what the actions we choose to take.
We ‘create’ our lives all the time.
In
this busy world we often ‘create’ unconsciously,
responding automatically to what happens to us.
This can result in turbulence, indecision,
stress, and repeating unwanted life patterns.
It may take a crisis to make us stop and take
another view.
The Life Design is about
learning to participate more fully in the creation of
your own life.
