Healing Energy

So I know there are people who can heal naturally using energy and stuff. Honestly, I've never really done any research into how this is done. But anyways, my girlfriend is over. We were messing around, and did this stupid thing, and she really hurt her finger. Like, it hurt her reallllly bad, and she couldn't move her finger at all. I really had no idea what to do. I decided to just try experimenting with some light rubbing. As long as I was doing that, I figured I would try some energy/visualization stuff, even though I technically didn't know what I was doing or anything. So I started trying to send her good energy, and I visualized her being able to move her finger good, and I tried to imagine this making her feel good and the pain going away. I did this for a little bit, and it improved a lot. But then I just got sort of...a feeling that I should try doing it in another place. So I started doing that, and she remarked how that was exactly where she still felt some tension. When I was done, she was able to move her finger perfectly, and she said the pain was gone. She said that when I started focusing on the energy stuff, she could feel a sort of heat entering into her. She said it was somewhat difficult to explain what it felt like, but she said that the heat like feeling that entered into her felt very soothing, and she could feel it helping with her pain.

So anyways, I just thought that was really cool. Like I said, I hadn't really studied this stuff before, so that was an awesome experience.

Whoa man! sounds like your on your way to becoming a true shaman! gnarlyness to the extreme! really though, that's pretty cool.. :highfive: (there should really be a highfive smiley..)

Placebo is a strong thing

na like all parts of the body are connected, and if something is hurting one place u can help in another.....


keep going ur on the right track.... u can go to school for this shit

Later that night she had a really bad headache like she grimacing in pain and stuff. So she wanted me to try it again. I did, and her headache went completely away. Woot woot. lol

Oh the joys of psychology.

No more "I've got a headache dear..."

She should have faked the headache!

The most common response to this phenomenon is usually "placebo". However, I would like to point out the fact that our bioelectric fields do not stop at our skin. We are not as separate from the world as we think. In a sense, it IS placebo. But purposeful placebo to manipulate this field of energy.

Our minds are incredibly powerful. By telling yourself a pain is gone, and visualizing it gone, and combining that with breathing, you truly can remove pain from yourself and others. It's nothing magical, it's just reality. Reality isn't solid. Shit like this happens all the time. You can put all of your attention on the palm of your hands, and surely enough there will be an increased blood flow to that area. This is documented science.

Journey, what you describe is basically what "qigong" is all about. It's not about some "other type of energy". We are all energy, everything IS energy, and energy is influenced by intent and the mind. The healing power of touch is well documented. Combine that with the mind and you see the true healing power of our species. It's awesome.

Glad you had a cool experience Mind > Matter all day.

While we're on the subject, thought I'd post cool a video of the extreme level of this type of healing. Very cool.

Qigong has been around for no less than 5000 years in China. There are many documented cases of seemingly extraordinary healings done with medical qigong. But most people in the west, brought up to see the world in a certain way, will have a very hard time believing anything that does not corroborate with their limited experience. You only believe it once you start to feel it for yourself. But it is all very real, whether one chooses to believe it or not.

We are all members of one energy field, one consciousness field. That is the only explanation you need for such "crazy feats". The world is quantum information, not solid distinct objects that can't interact.

This is a really good book if you want to learn more about the electromagnetic structure of our body and the mind's power and all that jazz. Very interesting and mind-opening. Peace

you might enjoy looking into 'reiki'

This is documented psuedoscience.

Fixed. And with that I won't bring this thread down anymore. Enjoy, fellas.

More pseudoscience on a Journey thread? Stop the presses

Guys, I'm 12 and learned about endorphins in my 7th grade biology class. I do not understand this thread.

Thank you very much! Just tried the first excersize and it was awesome! You really can feel it very obviously. Makes me want to start learning this energy stuff.

So journey, shouldn't you be going out into the world with your new healing powers? Like, call a press conference or something? Or maybe go into a battle zone and heal wounded and sick people? You might be Jesus!

Just remember that if anything contradictions your version of reality, it's highly unlikely that your original premise is actually just a load of shit. I'd also like to point out, and this is a guess, but a fairly safe one, how little interest you have and/or how little energy you've invested into reading about what a load of shit "energy healing" is. This is what a person tends to do if they're good at thinking critically.

Don't let me blow your bubble though. Energy healing is real. It's a reproducible phenomenon that we've somehow not managed to harness and call "medicine". Somehow, it just doesn't work in the context of a simple controlled experiment to demonstrate it's actually real. Because you know, people haven't claimed that they can "heal with energy" before and offered researchers the chance to study and try to learn something new about reality. You're special TheJourney. You're gifted. You're a healer. You're a miracle worker. I wish you and your girlfriend the best, and remember: There is no simpler or more realistic explanation for why your girlfriend felt better when you massaged her finger. It's your energy that healed her bro.
