Abstract:
Until recently, Science and Western Medicine as solely used the Newtonian mechanistic reductionist model in their understanding and treatment of disease. It
is becoming clearer that the Newtonian model must be expanded with the clearer
understanding of the Eiensteinian paradigm that all matter is energy, all matter exerts an energy field. There is a great deal of literature regarding the human anatomy to be multidimensional and that the physical body is actually a complex network of interwoven energy fields that can go out of balance causing dis-ease. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is on the rise and Energy medicine which comprises a broad spectrum of subtle energy healing modalities is especially rising in acceptance.
This lecture serves for the practitioner to become more familiar with the field of Energy/Vibrational medicine and how they may complement their existing treatment approach in the geriatric and diabetic patient.
