The Power of the Human Mind to Heal the Body
62
Technology has brought the modern medical profession light years beyond the imaginations of medicine's forefathers. Using what we have learned in the age of technology, we can now extend the lives of patients with all manners of formerly fatal diseases and immeasurably improve the quality of life for patients with all kinds of disabilities and injuries. However, we have also come to realize that technology alone is not the most effective treatment for illness.
What Western doctors have only just begun to discover but Eastern healers have known for centuries, is that the body is not made up of only the physical. More and more Westerners are realizing that, in order to treat an illness, injury, or ailment as effectively as possible, treatment must be applied to the aspect of the body that cannot be dissected and measured but that is just as important to the well-being of the person as the treatment of the physical.
In the West, we have seen evidence of the non-physical aspect of the human body for ages. We have witnessed the mysteries of unexplained recoveries and the effects of emotional environments on people's health. In the East, these phenomena were long ago explained by human energy fields. Eastern healers use treatments for disruptions in the body's energy to treat ailments that manifest in the physical aspect of the body. Now that the West has become aware of these treatments and their positive effects on patients, we can utilize the thousands of years of energy study in the East to supplement the physical treatment of patients in the West.
This book is a source for learning how to benefit from the Eastern knowledge of human energy fields. With this resource, you can understand Eastern healing, learn how to tap into the energy forces of the universe, learn how to heal the body using the mind and energy forces, and acquire the positive attitude and mindset required to achieve optimum energy and health.
The Self as an Energy System
There is an element of the body that is beyond our common understanding and knowledge. The recognition of this fact is vital, considering we base our medical treatments on our understanding of the human body. We must understand this non-physical aspect of the body in order to fully comprehend how to treat the entire body, not just its visible element.
The knowledge of this intangible aspect of the body is mostly the consequence of meditation - a practice of examining and discovering the intricacies of the human energy system. According to the East Asian meditation perspective, the body contains within it a river-like flow of energy that is not measurable or visible in the common sense, but can be detected through the heightened awareness of meditation. Meditation lowers self-consciousness and, if done by a skilled meditator, allows the meditator to perceive the body's energy flow.
Chi Energy
The energy that runs through all animate things and is detected through meditation is called chi, also spelled ki and qi. Chi flows through a system of channels called meridians, but is not constricted to a particular vessel like blood is restricted to our veins. Chi energy flows within and over the body, allowing energy to flow between a body and its environment, as well as among other near bodies. This river, much like a river in nature, can become unbalanced by pollution, interruption, blockage, and floods. Hindrances caused by excesses or shortages of chi are deviations from the healthy flow of a balanced, natural chi flow among all parts of the body. There are three general causes of disruptions in the energy of the body:
- 1. Emotional problems corresponding with a psychological condition
- 2. Environment, and poor treatment of general health, including a lack of rest and extreme life inconsistencies
- 3. Poor health management, which can negatively influence the flow of the body's energy.
How does all this translate into health treatment? The body's energy both affects and reflects the condition of the physical body. Disruptions, depletions, and excesses of energy indicate health problems that should be treated both physically and through treatment of the energy fields.
The treatment of the body alone is not sufficient to cure a person's illness because the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual components of a person are all interconnected. Treating the physical element alone will not suffice. All elements and components of a person must be addressed in order to alleviate the problem.

I just looked at Dr. Oz's Oprah show. Great info. I also took a look at your Hub on vitamin C. I have always been a proponent of Vitamin C, especially for the immune system. Thanks for you comments.

The Original Chi Machine® home aerobic exerciser, oxygenates, tones, strengthens the body, increases feelings of energy, aliveness and well-being, stimulates lymphatic system, exercises and balances spine, 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back.
The idea behind this unusual aerobic exerciser was suggested by Dr. Shizuo Inoue, Chairman of Japan's Oxygen Health Association. Dr. Inoue, who has spent decades researching the relationship between oxygen levels in the body and the quality of human health, got his idea by watching goldfish swimming.
Noting how remarkably healthy and well-toned fish are, Dr. Inoue thought that perhaps the steady undulation of the spine causes the fish's whole body to be exercised and oxygenated.
What would be the effect on people, he wondered. If we could move like fish?
The Engineers Went to Work!
Engineers took his basic concept and designed the Chi Machine®. "The pattern of motion the machine generates in the human body uses minimum effort and achieves maximum results," says Dr. Inoue. "It improves the basic metabolism of the body, increases our energy, adds flexibility to our lives and improves our attitude. It can also increase our sense of awareness, balancing the mind/body connection."
