Energy cleansing
Our basic understanding of how medicine works usually includes: going to the local GP once a year, taking a Panadol when sick, getting a cast for a broken arm and joining Weight Watchers.
Throughout the long history of man, many different forms of medicine have evolved. Some of these make up the basis of our so-called traditional Western medicine whilst others form part of alternative medicine. In today’s modern society there is an increasing movement towards a combination of what used to be thought as two opposite arms in the treatment of disease and the relief of symptoms. An example of this is crystal light bed therapy.
Crystal light bed therapy is originally from Brazil. It is described as a deep healing technique involving the application of light beamed through seven crystals onto the seven energy centres of the body. It is aimed at physical and mental wellbeing.
Healer Frank Boffa from the Arcana Healing Centre says that the therapy clears, balances and energises the chakras or centres of spiritual power in the body, and promotes healing and wellbeing.
I’ve had a woman who was suffering from Graves disease and she was told that she had to be on medication for the rest of her life. After two sessions on the light bed she was completely cured, Boffa told Sydney Star Observer.
Once a person came in with irritable bowel syndrome and after one session the symptoms of the condition were gone.
However, such outstanding results are not always the case. Some people require multiple treatments.
In many cases people require lots of time and treatments, and this is usually due to the individual’s inability to let go of themselves emotionally and spiritually. Once they have done this, the physical healing follows.
Each session lasts for about 45 minutes and costs around $70, depending on the clinic.
Other therapies that are becoming popular include spiritual spas and intuitive massages. These forms of healing use natural products including aromatherapy oils, herbs and gemstones combined with a full body massage. These techniques seem to have the ability to assist in the individual’s release of stress and emotional tension.
Spiritual spas combine essential skin care with positive energies to provide a more complete healing and relaxation process. Massages are extremely important in assisting the body to release stored tension, cellular memory and energy blockages.
Traditional herbal supplements, which for some cultures have been the mainstay of medical treatment, are now also finding their way into modern Western medicine. Many medical herbalists focus on restoring vital energy and taking a holistic approach to healing by giving equal attention to the body, mind and spirit.
However, many people in today’s society still remain sceptical of these traditional approaches to medicine and the holistic approach to healing.
Boffa says, I’m not saying to disregard modern medicine. It’s about looking at the whole person beyond just the physical illness or disease. A lot of gay people are using this alternative medicine to help with the psychological pressures of coming out and more generally to help face the unique emotional and spiritual challenges that gay life can bring.
