ENERGY HEALING
ESSENTIAL WELLNESS TOOLS
As humanity explores the Universe and the mysteries of
life, we find that energy is the foundation of life and
a key element to healing. Energy medicine uses a wide
spectrum of vibrational healing tools, including light,
sound, and subtle life force energies such as “chi/prana”
to bring balance and harmony to living systems.
Jed Shlackman, M.S. Ed., LMHC, Licensed Mental Health
Counselor. Jed has been studying and exploring the nature and
processes of energy and consciousness since the 1990s, integrating
hypnosis, reiki, energy psychology, and other mind-body and
energetic healing methods to help clients make powerful shifts and
transformations on physical, psychological, and spiritual levels.
Background
Jed has a B.A. In psychology from the University of Miami
and an M.S. Ed. In School Counseling from the University of
Miami. Jed became certified as a Reiki Master in 2000 and
certified in hypnotherapy in 2001. Jed has also received
training and certifications in mind-body and energetic healing
modalities such as Psych-K, ThetaHealing, Quantum Touch,
Neuromodulation Technique, SomaEnergetics, and
Regenetics. In addition to formal training, Jed has done
extensive exploration of leading edge knowledge and
resources in the holistic and natural healing arts, including
reading about alternative medicine and nutrition since
childhood. Jed attended the University of Miami
undergraduate with a National Merit Scholarship and while
completing graduate school Jed went through a process of
spiritual awakening that directed him to look beyond the
surface of reality and explore metaphysics, parapsychology,
and various other phenomena that challenge consensus and
orthodox views of reality and health care. This led Jed to
become committed to helping heal, empower, educate, and
awaken others to hidden knowledge and wisdom and to their
own potential for health, happiness, and fulfillment.
The Concept of Vitalism
The impressive feats of healing, longevity, strength, and mind over matter
associated with mastery of vital energy are recognized the world over.
These energies are experienced on a daily basis by a very large number of
people. This includes those possessing the sensitivity to ‘perceive’ energy
fields directly, those undertaking energy based healing modalities such as
hands-on healing, breathwork, and practitioners of the energy based
martial arts or yogic sciences.
The fact that the recognition of vital energy has had near universal
acceptance and application over many millennia in numerous cultures
around the world is suggestive of its validity. This model underlies many
traditional medical systems (e.g. Ayurvedic medicine as well as Traditional
Tibetan and Chinese Medicine and native shamanism of the Americas),
martial arts (such as karate), as well as many of the world’s principal
personal and spiritual development disciplines (many varieties of
Shamanism, Yoga, Qigong, & Western traditions of Alchemy, Kabbalah,
and Christian healing practices). We need to appreciate the vast
continuities of these systems over the course of many millennia.
Using Vital Energy To Heal

Every living thing is dependent upon a spiritual energy source for its very
existence. Scientific studies have shown that each cell in the body emits
light - biophotons. We live in a sea of energy and our bodies are composed
of energy. Our energy system is constantly exchanging energy with its
environment.
In 1984, Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia proved that the human body is
composed mostly of energy and of very little matter. To be exact, for each
particle of matter, there are 974,600,000 units of energy (photons). In other
words, only approximately one billionth of your body consists of matter and
the rest is vibrational energy. All matter that comprises your physical body,
the chair you are sitting on and the planet you are living on, behaves
essentially in a quantum-mechanical way. - Andreas Moritz, Ph.D.

Within our body, our organs and cells all have a level of vibration. When our
body becomes out of balance, disease occurs. Extensive research has been
done using subtle energy therapies like reiki and healing touch as well as
electromagnetic frequencies of light and sound, showing that these forms of
energy can help bring our physical and emotional systems into balance.
•

Asian/Oriental medicine teaches us that our bodies have meridians, energy
currents/circuits carrying energy throughout our system, connecting with each
major organ. When blockages or imbalances in the flow of energy through
these meridians happen, disease often follows. The Chinese use acupuncture
needles to clear blockages in the meridians. Sound, color, light, and hands-on
chi application can be used in place of needles for the same effect. Since a
disturbance in energy fields and energy flow precedes physical dysfunction,
energy healing methods are an ideal form of preventative medicine.
Even “physical” substances such as crystals, herbs, vitamins, minerals, and
proteins are primarily energetic in nature, and the way these substances
affect our body depends on their energy state. For this reason, traditional
herbal medicine considers the energetic properties of herbs in prescribing
herbal formulas to promote balance for a patient. Also, synthetic vitamins are
poorly absorbed and can produce toxic effects in the body since they are
energetically out of harmony with the living system that is ingesting them.
Research showing vitamins to be ineffective or harmful is most often done
using synthetic, unnatural vitamin sources, thereby misleading the public
about the safety and benefit of natural bioavailable nutrients.
Chakras: Wheels Of Light
The chakras are subtle energy vortices that govern the flow of subtle energy
into the physical body. In Indian/Ayurvedic traditions there are 7 major chakras
connected to the central channel of the body, from the base of the spine up to
the crown of the head. When we experience stress, trauma, and difficulties
with particular aspects of our life the chakras can become congested or
distorted. One common focus of energy healing is clearing and balancing the
chakras. Yoga and other popular practices are often able to help open and
balance the chakras as well.
Get To The Source
“To Treat Pain Or Illness, Seek Its Root”
When our energy system is functioning optimally the cells and
organs of our body sustain our health. When our energy is
drained or disrupted the systems of our body can start to
malfunction. To achieve a full recovery from illness it is vital to
treat the energetic layer of our being, including psychological
factors that are present, as the greatest influence on our energetic
state is our thoughts and emotions. Our feelings, memories, and
beliefs are recorded or imprinted in our energy field, down to the
level of each cell. There are many cases of organ transplant
recipients who experience the feelings, memories, likes &
dislikes of the organ donor. Chinese medicine and other healing
systems that have functioned for thousands of years consider the
vital force to be the foundation of health.
History And Studies:
Energy healing can be traced back many thousands of years in shamanism
and native healing traditions around the world. The Chinese acupuncture
meridians were mapped thousands of years ago in China and other parts of
the world and are now validated by electrical measurements. Systems such
as yoga, tai chi, chi gong, and pranayama (breathwork) have been used for
thousands of years to help guide energy flow.
Modern research has examined the benefits of acupuncture, reiki, healing
touch, bioenergy healing, yoga, meditation, energy psychology, and other
forms of energy-related therapies. Many studies have produced impressive
results, although the ability to control variables in energy healing research is
more of a challenge than in conventional medicine, since the energy and
consciousness of the practitioner and patient are even more directly related
to the treatment effect and the treatment is not as uniform as a biochemical
therapeutic agent would be.
Specific Studies
In 1994 and 1996, Linda Russek and Gary Schwartz studied pairs of subjects
sitting in the same room, sitting quietly with eyes closed, not touching each
other. The EKG and EEG rhythms indicated that their heart and brain
rhythms synchronized, and the synchronization could be enhanced if they
were connected electrically by a wire held in the left hand of one person and
the right hand of the other.
Cancer Patients’ Responses to Healing Touch. The Cancer Wellness Center
sent surveys to 92 participants and received 43 responses. Summaries of
participants' responses to HT treatments: Improved relaxation, 98%;
Improved sense of control, 75%; Positive change in energy, 87%; Improved
interpersonal relationships, 63%; Improved sense of well-being, 92%;
Decreased pain, 85%; Decreased side effects of cancer treatments, 77%.
(Judy Brannon, “A Patient Satisfaction Survey for Cancer Patients
Experiencing Healing Touch at the Cancer Wellness Center. “)
William Bengston, Ph.D. has been conducting research in the area of
anomalous healing for several decades and has proven the effectiveness of
his technique in 10 controlled animal experiments conducted in 5 university
biological and medical laboratories. His healing research has produced
100% successful full cures of transplanted mammary cancer and
methylcholanthrene induced sarcomas in experimental mice by laying-onof-hands techniques that he helped to develop. He has also investigated
assorted correlates to healing such as geomagnetic micropulsations and
brainwave EEG harmonics and entrainment.
Dr. Elisabeth Targ and Fred Sicher tested healing in a double-blind study
with patients having end-stage AIDS. During the 6 month trial, 40% of the
control group died but all patients in the healing group were alive and had
improved! They decided to run another test with a larger group all perfectly
matched down to personal habits and found that the treated group did better
physically and psychologically than the untreated group. And none of them
knew who was being treated or not since it was a double-blind study and
healings were done at a distance. (The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force

THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE,
ENERGY MEDICINE
“A complete approach to health means addressing not only our physical body, but our
energetic body as well.” - Andrew Weil, M.D.
“As we get better at understanding how little we know about the body, we begin to
realize that the next big frontier in medicine is energy medicine.” - Mehmet Oz,
M.D.
“Reiki is used to support the body's natural ability to heal itself. It releases spiritual and
emotional blocks, and brings a feeling of harmony and vitality”" - Gary Null, Ph.D.
“Most over-the-counter and almost all prescribed drug treatments merely mask
symptoms or control health problems or in some way alter the way organs or
systems such as the circulatory system work. Drugs almost never deal with the
reasons why these problems exist, while they frequently create new health problems
as side effects of their activities.” - John R. Lee, M.D.
“The medicine of the future will be energy medicine, and chemical medicine will be a
subset of medicine as a whole. Probably 80 percent of medicine will be energy
medicine, and 20 percent chemical medicine.” - Robert Jacobs, N.M.D., D.Hom.

every organ and organ system, acupuncture provides health practitioners
with an accurate and noninvasive means of determining health
deficiences, as well as a method of reestablishing balance.” - William

Phantom Leaf Effect
The Aura - Biofield
In mapping the bioenergy fields, Dr. Valerie Hunt of UCLA's
Department of Physiological Sciences has found that each individual
has a unique resting pattern. She calls this the Signature Field. The
Signature Field of a healthy human being is composed of balanced,
coherent energy patterns across the full spectrum of frequencies. This
coherency shows up on a graph as smooth, gentle, shallow waves
evenly distributed throughout the frequency spectrum. The Signature
Fields of human beings who have (or are soon going to develop)
disease are of two kinds: deficiency patterns, and hyperactive patterns.
These show up on the graph as thick, jagged waves concentrated in the
high- or low-frequency bands. Deficiency diseases like cancer and
fatigue syndrome have anticoherent patterns in the high frequency
ranges, with almost no energy at all in the lower frequencies.
Hyperactive conditions like colitis, hypertension, and skin problems
show anticoherent patterns in the low frequencies, with absent
vibrations in the high frequencies.
Dr. Hunt says that the type of disease — deficiency versus hyperactive — can be determined by
AuraMeter readings (still in research stage, not available for the public), but not what tissues the
disease will attack. "That is determined by genetic weakness and other factors that are at this time
unreadable by the AuraMeter. But we can tell what kind of diseases will occur, for they fall into
those two categories: areas where there is too much chi, or energy, and areas where energy or chi
is lacking. The pattern of frequencies tells us this."
"Until now," Dr. Hunt says, "many human diseases have been characterized as 'etiology
unknown.' In other words, the cause of the disease could not be determined, and therefore the
only possible treatment was alleviation of symptoms. But physiological symptoms appear
because of the field disturbance. If we correct the disturbance in the field, the symptoms
disappear and we have been healed. If we treat the symptoms directly, then when a stressful
situation once more aggravates the incoherent energy that is the source of the problem, the
disease condition returns."
There are, says Dr. Hunt, five variables in a successful healing: (1) the field of the disease, (2) the
field of the person, (3) the field of the therapist, (4) the field of the therapy, and (5) the combined
field of the therapist with the therapy being performed.
"When the energy of the therapist performing a particular therapy moves and changes the
anticoherent energy field, that disease will be healed." Dr. Hunt says. "But it has to be both the
therapist and the therapy that creates this field. And the energy of the healer combined with the
energy of the therapy has to transact with the person being healed in order for results to occur.

Magnetic Energy" at her bioenergyfields.org website.
Balanced vs. Deficient Fields
Personality & Dissociation
Persons with multiple personality disorder
exhibit distinct physiological changes when they
switch personality – allergies and medical
conditions will appear or disappear, responses to
drugs will change, and even physical features
may shift their appearance. Consciousness is the
Source field that governs all other fields and the
subconscious mind can create or heal any
physical condition. Since most of our
consciousness is in the sub-conscious level it is
vital to access that level when offering healing
resources.
Wave Genetics
Three series of experiments with identical protocol were conducted by the groups of P. Gariaev in
2000 in Moscow Russia, in 2001 in Toronto, Canada, and in 2005 in Nizhni Novgorod, Russia.
These are more advanced experiments based on the principles and technology of WaveGenetics. The
goal of the experiments was to test new technology for regenerating damaged pancreas. Pancreas is
an endocrine gland which has several vital functions, the major one being production of insulin, a
hormone responsible for sugar metabolism.
A control group of rats was injected a lethal doses of a poison called alloxan which destroys
pancreas. As a result, all the rats in the control group died from diabetes in 3-4 days. Then the same
lethal dose of alloxan was injected to another group of rats. And when the rats reached the critical
condition, they were exposed to light images/waves coming from a quantum bio-computer. Those
light images/waves were created beforehand when the bio-computer read information from the
pancreas surgically removed from healthy newborn rats of the same species as those used in the
alloxan experiments.
One can explain the results of the experiment using the following analogy. The pancreas gland
contains DNA-movies with information about healthy condition of the pancreas in its genetic
apparatus. And this video morphogenic information programmed the stem cells of sick rats to
regenerate their pancreas gland. Combined statistics for all 3 series of experiments is as follows.
Altogether, around 90% of all the rats had their pancreas gland restored and their health recovered.
Wave Information...
Researchers have also used light wave
transmissions to carry information from one
species to another – causing amphibian embryos
to develop into an entirely different species
purely by exposure to light waves tuned in to the
information from the other species.
"Life is fundamentally electromagnetic rather than chemical, the DNA
blueprint functioning as a bio-hologram which serves as a guiding matrix
for organizing physical form." - Iona Miller & Richard Miller
