Book Review: The Encyclopedia of Energy Medicine by Linnie Thomas

Part of: Debating Health Care

The Encyclopedia of Energy Medicine by Linnie Thomas is a considerable work on the various modalities which involve the transfer of energy to provide relief to different parts of the body. The Emotional Freedom Technique utilizes the tapping of meridian endpoints to create positive changes in the emotional and physical health of patients. Ohashiatsu utilizes gentle finger pressure to provide a therapeutic relief throughout the body.

The dynamics of Thought Field Therapy describe how eye movement changes unblock trapped energy in the nervous and circulatory system of patients. The therapy is utilized to conquer stress, anxiety and fears of all kinds. When TFT is applied to problems, the result is to address fundamental causes, balance the body's energy system and facilitate the elimination of most negative emotions or fears quickly. Thought Field Therapy Freedom Techniques often work when all else fails. The therapy has been used for weight loss, smoking cessation, phobias, trauma relief and much more. Thought Field Therapy, or TFT, uses a tapping sequence in the form of a healing code to balance the body's energy system .

Once re-balancing occurs, patients can eliminate most negative emotions expeditiously, while promoting the body's own natural healing ability. TFT meridian tapping therapy is a highly effective, generally non-invasive and an uncomplicated self-help alternative to long-term, or drug-related psychotherapy.

Thomas goes on to discuss Cranio-Sacral Therapy, which aims to achieve myofacial release through manipulative bodywork  to break up stubborn pockets of chronic tension in the connective body tissue. During the course of our lives, the body becomes conditioned to stresses and traumas. If stresses or traumas are overpowering, they become locked in the body as sites of inertia until a release is achieved. These sites of inertia effect the natural rhythmical movements and hinder the ability of our body to manifest correct cellular level patterns or sequences.

Common causes of inertia are psychological stresses, the trauma of birth and environmental toxins. Due to an accumulation of these stresses, tissues can become imprinted with the memory of unresolved experiences until a release through stimulation.

Esogetic Color Puncture utilizes color and esogetic herb oil to activate dreams in order to release excess energy and tension. Colorpuncture involves focusing colored light on acupuncture (and other) points on the skin in order to energize powerful healing impulses. Light is absorbed by the skin and transmitted along energy pathways or meridians deep in the body. The light stimulates intra-cellular communication which supports healing.
