Day 36: Western Medicine is a Form of Energy Healing
Before the model of modern medicine as we know it was developed, healing involved multiple modalities. There were surgeons, apothecaries, shamans, nuns, midwives, herbalists, and all manner of healers who worked together to alleviate sickness.
With the push to make medicine all about the physical findings from diagnostic technology, Western Medicine shunned all practices that utilized holistic modalities, arresting holistic practitioners and putting them out of business. Healers went silent, but remained in practice under the radar of medical doctors.
Today, many medical doctors see the beneficial outcomes in patients who use alternative therapies alongside standard treatments. Medical schools now offer classes on the healing power of prayer. It’s a positive shift toward integrating the advances of modern medicine with the centuries old methods of healing from within.
As you learned in Lesson 3, everything is energy. Your body is energy. Treating the physical body means treating the physical energy we see and feel as our physical anatomy. Expanding your belief that energy healing can take many forms may open you up to treatments you’ve never before considered. Likewise, if you are afraid of conventional Western medicine, perhaps thinking of it as energy healing will ease your concerns enough to consider what is being offered to you.
Your healing journey may or may not include traditional doctors. Your dis-ease may have a diagnosis, or it may remain a mystery after extensive testing. You may have been told that there is no cure. An opinion that there is no cure for your sickness is based only on the type of energy that specialist is able to treat. Healing is another matter altogether. Healing involves all four rooms. It’s possible you haven’t explored all the healers available to you.
Affirmation: I open myself to all possibilities. Just as dis-eases have many causes, healing can come from many sources.
