The energy trinity – light, sound and vibration

Energy exists in three forms – light, sound and vibration. All life, including each cell of our bodies, has a vibrational frequency – it is the essence of all of life’s activities. From the tiniest grain of sand to the largest of stars, all matter has a unique frequency and vibration.

Each of our internal organs has its characteristic and unique sound, just as the heart beats, the brain, liver, stomach, kidneys and other organs have their own respective voices which combine to form a beautiful symphony within our bodies.

Through vibration, our bodies continuously shed old cells and create new ones,
this is a normal life process and utilises the natural healing power within all of us. People with a healthy vibration can heal themselves even when confronted with injury or illness.

If a particular organ has a problem and it begins to emit a discordant tone the rest of the organs in the body will then generate a harmonious healing symphony in an attempt to resolve the problem by helping the compromised organ regain its proper frequency.

However once the body’s harmonious voice is weakened or broken its healing power is compromised, thus illness can manifest.

Negative thoughts are the primary cause of this breakdown, leading to discordant notes amongst the body’s organs.

The healing role of tuning forks

The human being is like a musical instrument through which emotional, mental and spiritual life is expressed. Everything is vibrating – from the orbits of the planets to the movements of electrons. The body can be viewed as a manifestation of vibrational states.

Because the more powerful vibrations of one object can change the less powerful vibrations of another, the appropriate tuning forks and application can bring balance to discordant vibration in the human being. By restoring the inherent vibrational pattern, tuning forks can have amazing health benefits.

Emma Lane introduces the use of tuning forks in Retune, Rebalance and Regenerate – The Art of Energy Healing. During the first workshop, vibrational healing techniques and skills will be taught; these will include effective use of tuning forks. Want to know more?

All of life is made of information and vibration

The terms energy medicine, energetic healing, bio field healing, bio energetic healing, chakra healing, aura healing, energy work, meridian-based healing, energy anatomy, vibrational medicine, subtle energy healing and dozens of other similar labels simply refer to practices relating to a certain vibrational or frequency-based level of energy.

Most of us have experienced the benefits of x-rays, MRI, electro-cardiograms and other testing devices. These practices all employ energy and make energetic changes in the body. Surgery can be seen as an energetic manoeuvre in that tearing tissue disturbs the body’s vibrational field. Adding a device like a pacemaker provides new information, aiding heart function and assuring that it vibrates correctly instead of skipping beats.

Prescription drugs work energetically altering vibration through chemical information that instructs cellular behaviour. Biological fields are not just bi-products of physiological processes; they are part of the mechanism by which the body communicates with itself.

A few decades ago these energy fields were considered non-existent by academic medicine. Research on this topic is now underway, in medical and academic research centres around the world. We are now documenting the presence of such fields and researchers are starting to understand how energy fields are generated and how they are altered by disease and disorder.

Electromagnetic medicine is beginning to revive but with far more sophisticated science to support it.

For example, research from scientists like Axon Burr, Bergsmann, Woolley Hart, Sullivan and Brewitt published over the last decade has shown that diseased states can be detected by measuring changes in the electrical conductance of tissue, making possible early diagnosis and treatments.

In 1985, Sullivan and colleagues reported that patients with lung cancer (confirmed by chest x-rays) had 30% lower electrical conductances at lung points. Other research summarized by Brewitt (1996, 1999) showed the cellular basis for these effects. Specifically, viral and bacterial infections, as well as cancer, affect the ionic and water content and pH of the extracellular fluids, and thereby affect the cell membrane potentials and tissue conductances.*

Energy fields can be detected a distance from the body and scientists are now able to explain how these fields are generated and why they become distorted when pathology is present. Why living systems are so sensitive to these fields and how fields can be used for healing is also now the subject of scientific investigation.

In just a few decades scientist have gone from the conviction that there is no such thing as energy fields in and around the human body, to an absolute certainty that they exist. To date, medical interest has focused on the magnetic fields around the body that are now referred to as biomagnetic fields.

Interest in biomagnetism has spread widely in the biomedical research community. At a fundamental level we still do not know exactly what electricity and magnetism really are.

The electron is a basic unit and has properties such as charge, mass and gravity. A deeper explanation as to how these properties arise is missing at this time.

In the past we could define an individual as that which lies within the skin, but it is a fact of physics that energy fields have no such boundaries. The biomagnetic field of the heart extends indefinitely into space even though its strength diminishes with distance.

If you are interesting in the science of energy healing, look out for the third blog in this series which looks at light, sound and vibration along with the healing role of tuning forks.

The energy of everything

Everything is made of energy – molecules, pathogens, prescription medications and even emotions.

Each and every cell pulses electrically and the body itself emits electromagnetic fields. In fact the human body is a complex energetic system composed of hundreds of energetic sub-systems.

Disease is caused by energetic imbalances; therefore health can be restored or established with the help of balancing ones energies.

We cannot see all the energies that keep the body healthy, however those we can see are called physical or measurable energies, those that we can’t yet perceive are called subtle energies.

Subtle doesn’t mean delicate, in fact science is beginning to suggest that the subtle, and as yet immeasurable energy within the body actually directs the measurable energy and contributes to forming our physical framework.

Everything in the world is made of energy, which can be defined most simply as information that vibrates. This energy, this chi of life, may express itself as patterns, sound, tissue and thought, but it is all energy.

Everything vibrates at its own unique speed. For example, a brain cell moves differently than a hair cell but like-minded organisms vibrate in similar ways, each individual unit differs slightly from its sibling group.

Vibration is produced in the form of amplitude and frequency. These oscillations generate more energy and carry information that can be stored or applied.

The information, as well as the vibrating oscillations, can also change depending on the nature of a particular interaction.

This is just a very brief introduction to the principles of energy within the body. Read the other blogs in this series to learn more about energy medicine, energetic healing and sound healing.

The Stress Response!

If you are a gazelle running for your life, or a tiger sprinting for your meal, the body’s physiological response mechanisms are superbly adapted for dealing with short-term physical emergencies. For the vast majority of animals on this planet, stress is about a short-term crisis, after which it’s either over or you’re dead. Simple eh?

Unfortunately things aren’t so simple in humans. When we sit around and worry about stressful things, we turn on the same physiological responses but these are in fact potentially disastrous when provoked chronically.

Long-term worry

A large body of evidence suggests that stress-related diseases predominantly emerge because we over-activate a physiological system that has evolved for responding to acute physical emergencies. Nowadays many people turn it on for months on end, worrying about mortgages, relationships and promotions.

It is not a general mammalian trait to become anxious about money, the tax man, about public speaking or fears of what you will say in a job interview. Our human experience is overloaded with psychological stressors, a far cry from the physical world of hunger, injury, blood loss, or temperature extremes.

When we activate the stress-response out of fear of something that turns out to be real, we congratulate ourselves that this cognitive skill allows us to mobilise our defences early. And these anticipatory defences can be quite protective, because it allows us to be preparative.

However when we get into a physiological uproar and activate the stress-response for no reason at all, or over something we cannot do anything about, we label it “anxiety,” “neurosis,” “paranoia,” or “needless hostility.”

Clients’ stress stories

As a health physiologist I see an interesting range of clients with different stories to tell. Some say they are very stressed and some say they are coping with stress, or have low stress levels. But how well do they know their own body? Are most of our clients chronically stressed and always present in ‘fight or flight’ mode, or are most in a stage of chronic fatigue, where the stress response has been blunted?

How do we know? When do we subjectively and objectively test their stress response and what do we do with the information? How does this affect their health? What can it mean for potential onset of disease? And if they have disease, what does it to that disease? How do we then take action?

Pharmacology and supplement use – a patient case study

Case history

Tracy*, age 49, presented with uncontrolled blood pressure in excess of 220/160mmHg, type 2 diabetes and had suffered a stroke due to mitochondrial disease.

She came to me because her GP had exhausted all avenues of conventional treatment and suggested that she may wish to look at supplements to help improve her condition but that she would need to research these herself.

Her prescribed medication included eight different blood pressure medications, including two unlicensed medicines, a statin, aspirin, diclofenac, tramadol, morphine, metformin and omeprazole.

Her health problems are thought to be due to a genetic condition leading to the death of cell mitochondria and build up of lactic acid. There is no cure for this condition but several supplements have been found to help with symptoms and improve quality of life.

Most days Tracey was incapable of holding a conversation and often showed signs of dementia. When she came to me for advice she was keen to try anything that could help her.

Supplement interactions

Whilst researching her condition and possible supplements, several issues came to light. The first was the potential for interactions given the volume of prescribed medication. The second issue was the medications that were potentially toxic to mitochondria including NSAIDs and more importantly statins.

Whilst there were a number of interactions between the recommended supplements and prescribed medication it was important to assess these interactions with a common sense approach. The key supplement recommended was CoQ10 to improve mitochondrial function and energy metabolism. This was even more important given that she was on a statin that the GPs would not discontinue due to her blood pressure and previous stroke.

Finding the right approach

The problem was that CoQ10 interacts with several blood pressure medications and can cause a reduction in blood pressure. Many practitioners would take the approach that an interaction of this nature means that the supplement should not be given. However the common sense approach in this case would be to give the CoQ10 as the blood pressure reading is so high a reduction would be seen to be beneficial. The GP was informed of the plan and agreed to monitor the patient more closely.

The results

Within a month of taking 200mg of CoQ10 daily there had been a moderate reduction in blood pressure and a dramatic effect on energy levels and cognitive function. Tracey’s GP commented that it had been months since he had been able to have such a coherent conversation with her.

My 20 years experience as a pharmacist enabled me to take a more measured approach to this case looking not just at the interactions but also at the interaction between prescribed medication and the patient. Whilst many practitioners would be reluctant to make recommendations, it is clear that just that one supplement had a huge effect on the patient. She now has this supplement prescribed by her GP.

Basic Pharmacology and Drug Nutrient Interactions course

One of the reasons I developed the pharmacology course for Integrative Health Education is to take a practical look at interactions between drugs and nutritional supplements and give practitioners the skills and confidence to recommend supplements to clients on medication safely. It also aims to give practitioners hints and tips on how to assess a client’s medication with respect to how it interacts with the client on a cellular level.
