Biophysics Week 12: Energy Fields and Energy Medicine

Acupuncture is one of the most effective energy medicines because it has been keeping millions of people healthy for years. Acupuncture deals with meridians and qi. Qi is a form of energy that often can get blocked or stagnant. The needles can unblock the qi in meridians causing healthy blood and energy flow.

Although I think Kirlian photography is cool and I'm interested in trying it, I have to say that I don't really think I could actually give it any credit as a form of reading energy.

Human intent and health is a very important aspect in healing BUT I think it can also have very negative effects. I know from personal experience how detrimental this can be. My parents were firm believers in this idea and when I would get sick, they would often blame me or give me affirmations to make it better, but when it didn't help, I thought I was doing something wrong. As the years went by, being undiagnosed, but walking around with Lupus, I was sick constantly, but every time I got sick it got drilled into me more and more that I was creating my illness. This is turn, made me feel like I was the illness. Soon my identity was closely intertwined with my illness and I could not distinguish myself from the Lupus, especially since I never had even a doctor to believe me. I am still very damaged from this frame of mind that "I can heal my illness" because every day that I feel crappy I can't help but think "what did I do to create this?", when in fact, I should be accepting of my situation with grace.
