Excellent Way To Learn

Becky S. Baker, M.T.

"The course gave me the tools needed to communicate with medical professions on a scientific level, how energetic modalities work."

Karen Gilley, RN, CMT, NCMT, Thunderbird Energetics, Palmer, AK

I really liked the course. As a bodyworker and licensed acupuncturist, it really helped me link the two disciplines through language. It has helped improve client communication and education, and resulted in enchanced client complince.

Kim Waldeck, Dipl. AC., L.AC., L.MST.

"Dr. Oschman lends scientific validity to "energetic work" and "healing" through his review and explanation of research in this area. Of particular interest was the section on "electromagnetic allergy."

Susan A. Reiss, RN, BSN, LMT, Stratham, NH

I enjoyed this course & I am so pleased to find such a good selection of courses to earn CE credits

Sample Text

"The historical background presented in Chapter 1 explains why the various energetic therapies have received little attention from Western biomedicine. The main intellectual issue is the long-standing contention over 'vitalism vs mechanism'. Chapter 2 described how biomagnetic fields have been detected in the spaces around the body. Mention was made of the laws of physics that state that when charges flow, magnetic fields are created in the surrounding spaces.

Now we need to explore precisely where the charges are flowing, and how those flows are influenced by diseases and disorders. We shall see that there are, indeed, energetic circuits in the living organism. Energy and information stream through these circuits to every nook and cranny of the body. These flows can be influenced by subtle energies in the environment. Moreover, disease and disorder alter these flows in predictable ways." (Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis by James L. Oschman, 2000, p. 41)
