Energy Medicine/Bioenergetics FAQ’s
More information on Energy MedicineEnergy Medicine?
Energy medicine operates with the following core concepts:
- A belief in an invisible (to the human eye) energy field (subtle energy field, biofield, life force), surrounding and moving through the body.
- Illness is interpreted as an imbalance or blockage in this energy field. Healing restores harmony (balance), thus, restoring or improving overall health.
- Recognition there is a mind-body connection, meaning, there is a link between mental, emotional and physical states, which can be addressed through energy work.
Energy medicine is described as ‘holistic’ healing and often references modalities such as: reiki, qigong, acupuncture, therapeutic touch and emotional freedom technique. In some of the energy medicine literature, there is not necessarily a clear relation to the Traditional Medicine or Indigenous Medicine from which these various practices arise. Western linear perspective often accepts a limited training, limited understanding and limited use of these practices, when compared to the original Traditional or Indigenous Medicine ways of knowing.
More information on Bioenergetics
The current Oxford dictionary definition of: Bioenergetics is the study and of transformation of energies in living organisms. In psychological context it can refer to a system of alternative psychotherapy based on the belief that emotional healing can be aided through resolution of body tension. This is a lot of complex words.
If you ask 10 people in quantum studies, consciousness studies, complementary modalities – they may all have a different definition which they operate by. Or – they may not even be able to tell you what bioenergetics is – only that it is everywhere.
For context and the purpose of how I use this language system:
Bioenergetics is the study and application of energy movement and transformation of energies in living organisms, in, through and around their entire being.
Bioenergetic modalities are the processes, practice, procedures, methodology, tools and techniques which facilitate the movement of energy and the transformation of energy in, through and around a living organism.
I am taught, recognize and have come to validate through life experience – all parts of our being are dynamically, functionally inter-related and constantly communicating with one another.
Everything I offer, All I am, All I do in service is bio-energetic.
However, I must also address current linear convention and describe all things as the majority of society currently comprehends. In this way, I will contribute and assist people in their evolution of consciousness. Leave no one behind!!!!
In my experience, training and teachings, the term bio-energetics is a ‘new’ term describing practices that have been around since the dawn of humanity. For example, prayer is a bio-energetic process, often making a request of source (God, Allah, Buddah, Jesus, Creator … ), which is asking to provide energy, send energy, or help move energy.

AND…. The Ancestors, Elders, Ancient Ones describe emotions as “energy in motion”. Every time you experience an emotion – energy moves. When energy moves, it also transforms from one state to another.
If we do not recognize we are physical and spiritual (energy) beings, then, we may not be aware of all the ways energy moves in, through and around us. Bio-energetic awareness helps us understand this reality we exist in.
