What is Energy Medicine?

Energy Medicine is a new field with ancient origins, a field that is opening new avenues of support both for individuals experiencing health challenges and for medical practitioners seeking to support their patients’ healing in less invasive ways.

Energy Medicine recognizes energy as a vital living force which penetrates, supports and organizes all Life, and is, in fact, essential to the maintenance of all Life.The practice of energy medicine focuses on optimizing the flow and balance of this vital living force as the very foundation of human well-being. Energy Medicine draws from hundreds of traditional healing methods. It integrates ancient knowledge with modern perspectives and new technologies. And it is at once both a complement to traditional medical treatment and a complete self-help and self-care system. Energy Medicine technologies and techniques today include – but are not limited to – herbology and botanical medicine, homeopathy, Reiki, light and magnet therapy, color therapy, Therapeutic Touch, Cranial Sacral Therapy, bio-field therapy, holistic remedies of many kinds, subtle energy infusion technologies, energy psychology,Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, acupuncture, yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong. In these increasingly challenging times, innovative energy medicine tools and techniques can help the average person and the skilled health practitioner work better to optimize both the energy fields in the body and the body’s chemical and biological systems, thereby solving complex health challenges in ways that are less toxic and less invasive to the body than traditional medicine now has to offer. Energy Medicine is rapidly contributing to a whole new way to look at health and healthcare. It is our hope that it may soon transform global healthcare systems into systems of wellness – rather than systems of illness.

The interview you will see above is an overview of holistic medicine presented by Dr. Steve Center from Scripps Memorial


To quote Dr. Mehmet Oz recently on the Oprah Winfrey Show, “Energy medicine is the future of all medicine. We’re beginning now to understand things that we know in our hearts are true but we could never measure. As we get better at understanding how little we know about the body, we begin to realize that the next big frontier in medicine is energy medicine. It’s not the mechanistic part of the joints moving. It’s not the chemistry our our body – its understanding for the first time how energy influences how we feel.”
