Biophysics in Energy Medicine
Description
Modern research science is validating and explaining the beneficial effects of a wide range of Biophysics and Bioenergy therapies, both those used in conventional medicine and those used in alternative therapy settings. This course brings together the science and the experience of a wide range of energy therapies.
There is growing interest world-wide in the field of mind-body medicine and the effect which the natural "energy forces" within the body play in the maintenance of normal health and wellbeing. This in turn has led to interest in how these energies or forces may be channeled to assist in healing and restoration to health. This course brings together evidence from a wide range of disciplines which is beginning to provide an acceptable explanation for the energetic exchanges that take place in all therapies.
Objectives
The focus of this course is the understanding of what has implemented alternative and complementary therapies as the fastest growing sector of our health care system. Fundamental to many of these techniques is an appreciation of energetics that has long been deemed unacceptable and unapproachable from the scientific perspective. Modern research is rapidly changing this picture by revealing a plausible basis for therapies that predate our current biomedical paradigms. We now know that measurable energy fields exist within and around cells and organisms. The sources of these fields are understood and we know that they have physiological importance. A common denominator to the artful and medical application of this information is the remarkable sensitivity of cellular and molecular processes to tiny electromagnetic fields, whether produced by therapists or by therapeutic devices. Medical research and the experiences of energy therapists are converging on this point, with profound implications for healthcare and biomedical research.
