You are constantly flowing energy – physical energy, emotional energy, and mental energy.  You are probably aware of differences in energy levels in yourself and in your patients and clients, but may not be aware of what to do about it. Traditional medical practice is based upon a Newtonian physics that insists that energy is not real because it has no form or substance.

Currently, leading physicians such as Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Andrew Weil are proposing an energy component of healing based upon Einstein’s Quantum physics. Quantum physics states that a particle can become a wave, and a wave a particle; that, in fact, the basis of the human body is energy, not matter. This research, and practical work, are often referred to as “holistic medicine’ or “energy medicine”. This new paradigm has great implications for health care and healing.

The purpose of this workshop is to introduce you to a variety of holistic energy healing techniques in order to increase your efficacy in health care and healing. The workshop includes review and practice with both ancient and modern healing techniques. The theoretical foundation is set with an exploration of Chakras (an ancient term for spinning wheels of energy). The energy associated with Chakras represents physical, emotional and developmental issues associated with dis-ease. You will experience your own chakra energy and judge for yourself  its reality and validity. Next, the workshop focuses on the work of Dr. Randolph Stone, DO, DC, founder of Polarity Therapy. Polarity energy balancing evolves from the same Osteopathic roots as Myofacial Releasing, Craniosacral Balancing, and other once called “esoteric” techniques that have therapists using them in numbers. During the Polarity energy balancing session, you will look at energy connections between body structures and location, and learn how to release deep held muscle tension with gentle, massage techniques and hand placements. Finally, research on simple meditation practices that reduce muscle pain and tension and increase vitality and concentration will be reviewed. You will have the opportunity to practice techniques and develop a personal plan for stress reduction that can also be offered to your patients and clients.

The goal is for you to learn how to direct these energy flows to achieve therapeutic benefits for yourself and the patients, clients and family that you work with.  Energy techniques must be used appropriately in the practice of health care and the healing arts. They must compliment and enhance traditional methods of care.  By the completion of this workshop, you  will have acquired the theory, knowledge, and practice to enhance your skills in a balanced and integrated way.     

Part 1 - Exploring the Chakras
Chakra, a Sanskrit term for "spinning wheel of energy", describes specific energy locations in the body/mind/spirit. These places where finer energy infuses matter contain the keys to our physical, mental, and spiritual well being. One of the most valuable works you can do in this new century is to learn how to care for your chakra energy. In this session we will explore the implications of each chakra for health care and practice techniques for releasing negativity and inviting the full flow of chakra energy into our lives.

1. Define the term chakra, from origin to current modern usage.
2. Perform a chakra assessment using tools including computer biofeedback and pendulum dowsing.
3. Differentiate the 7 major chakra centers with respect to emotional issues, physical issues, and adult developmental issues.
4. Participate in a guided imagery session to expand and clear chakra energy in selected locations.

Part 2 - Polarity Energy Balancing
Polarity Therapy, developed by Dr. Randolph Stone, D.C., D.O., (1890-1981), is a comprehensive system of balancing  body/mind/spirit energies through gentle touch, nutrition, exercise, and counseling .  In this session we explore the 5 basic mind-body types (Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether) and discover ways to balance each element using diet, exercise, touch, and meditation.

5. Describe the relationship of the 5 Elements (Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth) to the chakra centers and to body structures.
6. Identify nutritional needs and meditative practices to balance each of the 5 elements
7. Identify the major positive, negative, and neutral poles on the body.
8. Perform general energy balancing techniques by integrating information about the 5 elements with information about body polarity.

Part 3 - Meditation as a Tool for action

For years meditation has been associated with mystical or religious traditions. Yet the basics of meditation transcend religion and are in fact tools for mental clarity, healing, and growth. This session will provide participants with research and theory exploring 3 major forms of meditation: Concentration, Contemplation, and Mindfulness. Participants will learn basic meditation techniques for stress reduction, mental clarity, and creativity.

9. Differentiate between the three major forms of meditation (Contemplation, Concentration, and Mindfulness) with respect to process and outcome.
10. Participate in all three types of meditation.
11. Develop a plan to use workshop information in both professional and personal practice.
