Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Resident Medical Expert on The Oprah Winfrey show, calls Energy Medicine “the next frontier in medicine.”

And now, diagnoses and conditions, such as cancer and depression, along with chronic conditions such as anxiety, stress, adrenal exhaustion, and sleep deprivation can all be addressed using a Complementary Medicine modality of Energy Medicine / Energy Psychology for healing.  The W.I.S.E. MethodTM of Energy Medicine is one approach that has been shown to be effective with each of these conditions and many more.

The W.I.S.E. MethodTM , taught at the Institute of Healing Arts and Sciences, Inc., was recently investigated through grant funding from the National Institutes of Health in treating Fibromyalgia.  The results of the study were significant in that, with no drugs, patients were able to greatly reduce, and in some cases eliminate, their pain while also improving their quality of life and gaining the freedom they had lost due to illness.

Data on other clinical outcomes have been collected from the treatments offered by student interns in more than 35 hospitals and other medical facilities.  They have shown significant reduction in Pain, and improvement on both Relaxation and patient Outlook for all diagnoses treated.  This is a clear benefit to patients in pain from surgical procedures, as well as cancer and its treatments.  It also is tremendously supportive in the healing process, since pain reduction supports relaxation, and expedites healing.

Because it truly takes a wholistic approach, The W.I.S.E. MethodTM, can also help you to recover your passion, to reconnect with your spirituality, and to honor your own wisdom, while supporting your personal or professional growth. It does so through an understanding that our beliefs have tremendous impact on our emotions, which in turn have a powerful influence over our physical health.

Imagine if, during a gathering – a picnic, a child’s birthday party, the Holidays, – you noticed a coiled snake near your feet.  Whether or not you like or fear snakes, you would likely be startled.  Briefly, or not so briefly, you might notice your heart rate begin to race, and your breathing to change.  You might notice yourself begin to shake. If you like snakes, you might notice that you laugh.  Either way, your body has emotionally responded to the belief that you are encountering a snake.

Now, notice as you check again, that you recognize that that “snake” was really a ribbon, or a rubber or cleverly-carved wooden snake, or a piece of rope.  What happens to your emotions now?  Do you feel sheepish?  Do you laugh at your initial response?  Do you get angry at it for frightening you?  In this example, the item is the same throughout – whether a ribbon, fake snake, or rope – it is our interpretation, and emotional reaction that initiates the body’s response to the stimuli.  And that response sends a ‘cocktail’ of our body’s chemicals dashing through our bloodstream and activating a variety of cellular activity.  Our beliefs just had a direct impact on our body. And they did it quickly and unconsciously.   Over time, depending on the belief, these responses can have a significant impact on our health.  Even to the extent of resulting in illness.  One challenge in learning to manage them differently is that many of these responses happen before we are aware or conscious of them.  Our bodies are sending out bio-chemical cocktails in response to things of which we may not even be aware.

It is these responses that contribute to burnout, depression, and possibly even cancer.

The W.I.S.E. Method  promotes wellness and offers approaches that can help people learn to recognize the beliefs that may be contributing to ill health, and to replace them with those that support improved physical health, as well as offering a form of spiritual healing.

What is The W.I.S.E. Method  of Energy Medicine?
The W.I.S.E. Method  of Energy Medicine is the art and science of working with the human energy field to support physical, mental and spiritual health and wellness and to support recovery from illness or injury.
Everything that exists, that we see, sense or feel, is made up of energy.  Our physical bodies are simply energy slowed down to a state that creates physical mass.  The unique blend and flow of that mass is what creates our individuality.  The energy within our body is created through blood flow, muscle movement, organ function, etc.  In its natural state, energy is fluid, flowing, and vibrant, the way we feel when we are healthy.

When it is not, something has gone wrong, minimally or in a major way.  When we are sick or have a disease, an energetic block has developed somewhere in the physical body, thus, the body is not allowed to function as it was meant to.  The energy may simply need to be balanced or a block may need to be released.

Most of us know how the energy in our body is supposed to feel without even realizing it.  This is clear when we sense something is not right yet when we go to the doctor, she/he cannot find anything wrong.  This is our own intuition (inner knowing) coming into action.  On a deeper level, we sense an imbalance in our body, even though it cannot be detected through traditional medical tests.  This is due to the fact that this imbalance is still on an energetic level and is not yet in the physical body.  It is great time to deal with the problem with minimal impact on your life before far more serious consequences can develop.

The W.I.S.E. Method  Energy Medicine Practitioner
There are many types of energy medicine practitioners.  They each have their own protocols and procedures.  A W.I.S.E. Method  Energy Medicine Practitioner assesses the energy flows within and around a person’s physical body to determine where there are any blocks, deficiencies, excesses or stagnations in their energy field.  Based on this assessment, a practitioner uses specific techniques to realign and balance the energy field to help restore health and well-being on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. If the client is open and ready, the practitioner may, as well, support him or her in seeing the connection of life experiences and the imbalance within the body. If not, the depth of energetic balance and the quality of movement achieved can support multiple-level healing for any client seen.
