Healing with energy medicine is achieved through activating your bodys own natural
healing energies and restoring and realigning energies that have become out of
balance. Energy medicine can be self-applied or administered by a practitioner. It is
used to treat physical illness, mental and emotional issues, and the spirit for joyous
living and peak performance.
Benefits of learning to utilize energy medicine on oneself allows you to move your
bodys energies through your intention; From infusing energy into every cell in your
body and boosting your energy, to working with visualization and intention to increase
vitality and facilitate healing, the practice of energy healing is profound in both its
simplicity and implications.
Thanks to the science of quantum physics, energy medicine is a scientifically verified
and proven field of study. It confirms what ancient civilizations have known and
taught for thousands of years. It also reminds us that the body, mind and spirit are
connected by one energy force highlighting the influence we have over our own
vitality (or lack thereof) and healing ability.

The above modalities help restore the bodys energy through tapping, massage,
twisting and pinching, and are non invasive. Hand motions over the body and specific
postures and movements also help promote energy flow to restore balance. Intention
and mental imagery are also important to help mobilize the bodys own resources for
healing, vitality and wellness. Practicing self-healing with energy medicine is safe and
complimentary to medical care.
Common uses for energy medicine include:
Reduce pain
Prevention of illness
Stimulate/regulate immune function
Relieve headaches
Reduce/relieve stress
Improve/regulate digestion
Improve memory/focus
Healing disease
The key difference between Eastern and Western health practices is the philosophy
behind the approach to diagnosis and treatment. In Western Medicine the doctor
diagnoses and treats an illness. It is focused on a symptomatic approach with the aid
of treatment though pharmaceuticals.
The Western approach also tends to classify the problem by the predominate issue
based on the symptoms (Ex. an ulcer). This of course, doesnt address the root
problem, nor consider the patient as playing an important and significant role in the
healing process. Often, ones health issue is looked at in isolation of emotional,
mental or spiritual influences.

In energy medicine the practitioner will assess the energy systems of a body and help
realign and correct the energy disturbance. Symptoms are an indication of physical
disturbances but not the focal point for treatment. For example, a stomachache may
result from an issue within the heart meridian, liver or stomach, and the issue is
found and addressed at the root of the problem.
Realigning the bodys energy is supported by patient participation. The role of the
practitioner is largely a consultant who advises and supports enhancing the natural
functions of the patient versus treat the them directly. The bodys energy is seen as
one force, which involves the emotional/mental, physical and spiritual systems.

alignment with your beliefs, such as the Bible, or for a non religious work I
recommend Love and Law or The Science of Mind, by Ernest Holmes). Utlimately
there is no higher source of healing than through God, or True Source.
Knowing, believing or even just being open to the idea that you are a part of
something omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient is a very therapeutic and an
important element in harnessing your intention for spiritual healing.
Intention (and faith) is the source and explanation for many miracles, often
disregarded as spontaneous remission where divine intervention would be far more
accurate and respectful and reverent of the True Source. God, therefore miracles,
are infact our birthright. Man need not see it, nor prove it, for it to be True.
It is very helpful to remember this when working with self healing approaches. Not
only will you feel more confident and inspiried in your self-healing efforts, you will
maximize the potencey of your results and enjoy a sense of peace and comfort.
Below are 2 powerful Energy Medicine approaches to healing. The first involves a
powerful, yet simple breathing exercise to boost your bodys oxygen levels, which
directly and dramatically influences your energy levels. Use this approach anytime,
anywhere to help give your self a boost (of course with eyes open as necessary).
The second approach involves setting your healing intentions and then supercharging
it with creative visualizations. I suggest you do each of these exercises at least once
in the morning and once in the evening for best results.

Modern science agrees; For a long time, lack of oxygen has been considered a major
cause of cancer. Even way back as 1947, a study done in Germany showed that when
oxygen was withdrawn, normal body cells could turn into cancer cells. Similar
research has been done with heart disease.
Every cell in our body requires oxygen and our vitality is a byproduct of the health of
each of our cells.
The benefits of deep breathing are abundant, some of which include:
Reduce toxins and waste within the body
Prevent disease
Improve digestion and mobilize metabolism
Relieves stress and relaxes the body
Increased clarity and memory
Enhances spiritual awareness/experience
Improve functioning of essential organs, brain, nerves and glands
Purifies the blood
Boosts energy
Rejuvenate skin and anti aging

your shoes to help you connect.

doesnt reach the alveoli in the lungs, and therefore reduces the oxygen exchange
process. In addition, the upper portions of the lungs have less air capacity, making
this technique the least optimal of the three.
Middle Breathing occurs in the middle parts of torso and lungs. It too remains a
shallow type of breathing as the ribs and chest are expanded sideways. It is similar to
low and high breathing in that some of the chest and diaphragm may be partially
involved. It is somewhat better than high breathing yet not optimal.
Lower Breathing takes place in the lower portion of the chest and lungs with the
abdomen primarily involved, moving in and out when one breathes. Low breathing is
better than both mid and upper breathing, and ideal when combined with both the
above for our complete deep breathing exercise.
Complete breathing uses all three locations of the torso utilizing the entire
respiratory system. When done properly ones shoulders, collarbone, and ribs will rise;
the abdomen will extended as the diaphragm is lowered; and the lungs will naturally
expand to full capacity. This is what were looking for when doing our deep breathing
to maximize oxygen exchange process and support all the benefits that go with it.

yourself, except to align your mind with the intention to breathe in and ask for energy
from the earth, to fill your body, release toxins, and settle in to your intention of
healing.
Once you feel as though you are grounded and connected, spend another minute or
two accessing the deep, sacred place in your heart where your most cherished dreams
and desires are kept. When you feel you have reached that place, declare in your
thoughts that it is your intention to bring yourself to a state of healing of lupus or
whatever conditions you would like to have healed. In the expansiveness of that
energy, as you do your deep breathing, concentrate on accessing the feelings of love,
acceptance and peace in your hearts core.
If you begin to feel uncomfortable, unworthy, embarrassed or if any other thoughts
keeps you from this feeling, just continue to release your thoughts without self talk.
Do your best to continue this exercise. If it is difficult at first, it will get easier with
time and practice. It is absolutely fine and recommended that you adjust the exercise
as it feels natural to you. There is no right or wrong way to do it.
Stay in this intention of healing as you progress through the breathing. I like to
envision the Source or God permeating everything, just as if there was a wind it
would move through all there was in its path.
When you feel that you have reached as deep a point as possible, move on to the
following healing visualizations or complete your deep breathing exercise with a sense
of gratitude and faith, knowing that you are filling your body with healing life force
and maximized energy.
Take a few minutes to adjust to how you feel with your oxygen levels increased and
be sure to move slowly to avoid dizziness as you get up to move.

physics, hologram theory and healing. His work reveals powerful, enlightening and
fascinating accounts of how you can use creative visualization to heal and how the
science of quantum physics provides the answer to its practical yet mysterious
effectiveness.
Adam has had enormous success healing others, and teaching the techniques he uses
to inspire us to activate our own potential to heal our self. He claims we all have the
ability to heal by accessing universal forces through our intention. If you are
interested in learning more about Adams work, please visit www.dreamhealer.com.
I recommend doing visualization techniques twice a day, once in the morning and
once in the evening, for approximately fifteen minutes (following the energy
breathing technique above).
Do not worry about your ability to visualize. Simply work through the visualization
techniques in a way that feels right for you. If you do not feel you visualize well, then
talk (using auditory senses) or feel (using kinaesthetic senses) yourself through the
visualization techniques using those senses.
It is best to be as specific as possible during your visualization. Emotion is energy and
will also help you intend and direct a healing toward yourself (or the person you
wish to support in their healing). Keep your mind as focused, clear and positive as
possible while intending and imagining perfect health during your visualization
exercise.
Perhaps the most important part of the visualization process is to see yourself as
healed, now. This sends new signals to your cells creating a new and different
memory (literally) to work from. Another powerful way to support your visualization
process is to actually work from a tape of your own voice leading you through the
visualization. By doing this it will support your focus, enable you to target specific
thoughts and ideas that can be fleeting in such a heightened state, help you build in
emotions, details, and a process that will allow you to maximize the purpose of the
visualizations.

Creative Imagery
Read through these visualization techniques below and do the ones you feel meet
your specific needs. Some of these exercises are general, and they are meant to
induce wellbeing into the body for any issue. Other techniques are appropriate for
specific symptoms and organs, as I outline. Modify them to suit your requirements.
The white light, fire and waterfall visualizations are recommended for purification
and cleansing as a regular part of your imagery routine. These visualizations are
suggestions and guidelines only. You may want to create your own special imagery
that is uniquely appropriate for you, which I highly encourage you to do! You may find
that the imagery comes to you as you proceed; this is optimal as we let our intuition
and body direct us to what it needs. There is no right or wrong way to do this
exercise.
Also remember be as specific as possible in your guided imagery. If you find yourself
thinking negatively, simply stop the thought (I like to think cancel) and continue to
proceed. Remember to use each technique to realign the health problem, and keep
your intention and focus on seeing yourself in perfect health, as if you were
lupus-free right now with healing the end result.
When you do your visualizations you may feel tingling sensations, twitching or other
physical sensations. This is normal, and a good sign. Pay very close attention to the
sensations you feel in your body as you do your visualizations. Your body will talk to
you as you direct energy towards different areas.
Listen to your intuition and what you instinctively feel your body needs. Its a great
idea to keep a journal to document your experiences, and also make note of specific
imagery techniques you use that you find particularly effective
Imagery Tips:
- 19 -
www.Healing-Lupus.com
Dont force your visualizations and allow them to happen on their own as you
proceed. Where as you may have intended to use a waterfall image and it changes
into a rainbow work with what comes from within you.
Add colours, smells, sound, and details; really see, hear, and feel your way through
the imagery. The more you know about the issue and the mechanics the more you can
focus on the specifics and reversing it.
Get each and every cell and imagery technique you use to turn against the problem
and dont stop until you feel that particular intention of the visualization is
complete.
See the imagery working after you open your eyes until your next session.
Remember, that holding your faith in God, a Universal life force that permeates all,
and being a part of it by nature will help you silence doubt if you question the
possibility of self healing.
Imagery Visualizations
White light: A good way to begin your visualization is to fill your body with white
light, which symbolizes the universal life force, love, strength, purity and wholeness.
Use whatever technique you feel comfortable with. Do it until you feel every cell of
your body is illuminated. Any imagery is fine; use whatever feels natural for you.
A few common ways to visualization this include: Breathing the white light up through
the soles of your feet to the top of head; Or breathe it in through your mouth as you
inhale, letting the white light disperse throughout your body; Let a beam of white
light scan your body and fill it as it moves up or down; Or simply have your body
instantaneously become a beacon of white light.
Prepare your body with your intention of healing and imagine the white light
permeating into each and every cell of your body, filling them with nourishment,
strength, structural integrity and alignment to the highest force of health and
healing.
See the problem areas of your body, systems and organs dissolving, easily integrating
into a healthy, naturally functioning whole. Really use your senses for this exercise.
Pay extra attention to the physical sensations of your body as you infuse your body

with the light. Blast areas that seem to be resistant; use different colours if you
like, or simply intensify the focus of the white light.
Fire Visualization: This technique is a good way to purify the body. Imagine flames
of fire moving through your entire body from your feet upward, dissipating toxins and
purifying your body. If you like, imagine a warm energy that accompanies it, almost
like an internally heated energy bath. Pay extra attention to areas that you feel need
to be released of toxins. Move the flames around to the areas of the body you would
like to focus on. Do this until you have fully engulfed your body with a purifying force
that is releasing waste and purifying your body.
Lightning Bolt: This visualization is good for the nervous system. Imagine lightning
bolts striking any points of your body and electrifying a charge to re-connect and
realign the nervous system to function smoothly, efficiently and effectively. Hear the
electrical currents running through your body and really see the areas of concern
aligning back to a natural, healthy state. This is a wonderful exercise to calm and
align the nervous system, smoothing out the rough edges so that stress washes right
over your nerves, leaving you with a calm, peaceful and strong constitution.
Pac Mans (Adam calls this SEPs Smart Energy Packets): This visualization
technique is appropriate for reaching many cells of the body at once. Imagine
hundreds of mini pac mans or SEPs moving in through your mouth, into the body and
gobbling up old, unhealthy cells filled with toxins, and replenishing your body with
new, healthy cells that are robust and whole.
Make it fun, give different tasks to different SEPs and accommodate many tasks at
once. Focus on how this imagery will help you heal lupus, perhaps by rebuilding a
- 21 -

healthy, cellular foundation that is whole, strong and robust. Also visualize the little
energy packets leaving gifts of nourishment for the cells to enjoy long after you have
completed your visualization, until your next session.
Liquid Energy Drink: This is a wonderful exercise for those with lupus since fatigue is
such a pronounced problem. Imagine drinking a pure, energized liquid; make it clear,
white (or any colour) liquid that your body takes in and assimilates into each and
every cell of your body, forcing out whatever is blocking the cells from nourishment.
Have some fun with this visualization. Choose the colours of the rainbow to go to
different sections of the body, have it glow as white light or any variation you like.
Really feel the energy taken in by your cells. Spend some extra time on this exercise
if you are fatigued. (If you like, add the malleable rod through your cells, as I felt
with my drink from the Medicine Woman). This is also a good exercise to use
throughout the day, while youre driving, resting, working, eating, anytime!
White Light Malleable Rod: This visualization is appropriate for those of you with
joints, back or other structural problems. Imagine a malleable rod of white light
passing gently but firmly through the center of your spine to the tail bone. Imagine
doing all of the activities you used to do with no pain. Really feel the mobility you
have regained.
Do this for any bones in the body that need to be strengthened and realigned. You
may also make your rod very small, and have it move into the core of each and every
cell of your body, creating a solid core foundation that leaves your cells strong,
round, whole, and able to take in energy and nourishment easily.
Injection: Forget the fear; this needle is wonderfully healing and soothing. Imagine a
gentle infusion of lubrication of white light into sore joints and degenerating discs.
See yourself giving your sore joints and discs the smooth, easy motions of mobility
with this soothing fluid that will allow your joints to feel as good as new.

This is a very helpful visualization for those affected by arthritis, common with lupus
patients. Add your favourite scent if you like and really get into the areas that need
the most attention. Have this injection session activate each area of concern at once,
and bath in its relaxing yet healing lotions.
Explosions: Use this imagery for areas that need to be opened or where you feel
blocked. Place tiny or large sticks of white light dynamite into areas of the body that
feel blocked and light the fuse that results in an energy burst that almost tickles when
it blows. This gentle, soothing opening visualization is wonderful for many different
issues, including mental confusion, digestive problems (cramps), re-nourishing and
energizing damaged hair follicles (common for many lupus patients), or anything else
that would reinstate the proper functioning and regeneration of cells, even the
nervous system.
Waterfall: Use this visualization to wash away all the energy that you have just
released by imagining an energy waterfall, in any colours that you choose, then
finishing in white. This will be immensely soothing, comforting and nourishing as the
old, unhealthy cells and toxins are released and washed away from your body forever.
Spend a few minutes on this visualization imagery and concentrate on the results you
are intending. I personally enjoy closing with a sense of gratitude and faith.
Did You Know
When we focus our thoughts on an intended area of the body, we literally light it up
as the neurons fire.
Our thoughts and intentions create a frequency, which surrounds our DNA and alters
our genes.
The Vedic scriptures claim that all creation is said to have begin from divine light
emanating from the Supreme Being.
Research from Russian scientists have shown healing qualities from light and found
that 660 nanometers is the most effective at sedating pain and stimulating healing.
