Healing Hands

Do you have to be spiritually minded to be on the receiving end of healing? In short the answer is ‘NO’.

Healing is not just about esoteric, spiritual or philosophical beliefs or experiences. Healing has a more scientific basis. The human body has a healing mechanism that each and every one is born with. An ability to repair and regenerate without us having to giving it much thought and attention.

However, each person’s healing mechanism differs and this is dependent on how effectively and efficiently his or her body communicates and functions on all of the following levels - cellular, neurological, physical, emotional and psychological.

In short we live in a world where people’s expectations for their body’s ability to perform and repair effectively are high, yet we do not have the know-how or tools to do it. For others who accept a compromised quality of life, tend to have a low expectation because of family illnesses, limitations or the fact they are getting older and certain aches, pains and limited recovery are just expected.

So why in the 21^st century do we find ourselves so limited? It all started at a very young age when we lose touch with ourselves partly because of cultural changes, family, peer pressures and education. Just as importantly our reliance on quick fix over the counter medicines or surgical procedures, without exhausting more natural solutions at least in the first instance. It must be made clear that the author is not adverse to orthodox medicine and looks forward to healing techniques becoming more integrated within the healthcare system.

In fact we have become so reliant on someone else sorting our problems out that we don’t even give any thought to how we may have it in us to look after our own body in an efficient and effective and most importantly in a preventive way.

This article is not to dwell on the lack of care and know-how, but to inspire us to how we can take action bearing in mind that we live in a western society, in busy cities, with ever increasing work, family and financial worries and responsibilities. However, we may need to sit back and re-address how we move forward and how we integrate our well-being and healthcare into our busy schedules.

So how do we move forward? Firstly let’s not dwell on the past - what has happened has happened.  We can’t change it, so we have to take action today to move forward and deal with tomorrow when it arrives. 

Next we need to address the issue of care. We have the ability to look after, maintain, repair and service the items that we rely on in our every day lives – computers, cars, central heating systems etc. When brand new they worked efficiently and effectively. However, through use, misuse, abuse and lack of servicing them regularly they become sluggish, less efficient and will breakdown.

The main difference between you and these items of equipment is that they came with a service manual and contract…yet you were not born with yours.

So how does one service, maintain and repair a body effectively if you haven’t been able to up to now. Beyond natural biological structure nothing is set in stone that can’t change. Whether it is a muscle that is in spasm, an organ that is degenerative or mis-functioning, a breakdown in neurological communication, a psychological restriction, an emotional conflict or a physical injury. Each of these ailments or conditions is caught in memory - a loop that it finds itself unable to break free from.

Looking on a scientific basis we need to consider how our bodies function. Briefly explained our bodies are made of cells; this includes every tissue, organ, bone, nerve and muscle. Each cell has certain chemical compounds that make up its ingredients. A good analogy of a cells contents is a soup recipe. If it is deficient or has too many ingredients, you may get a watered down soup or to the other extreme a thick sauce. The cell is no different; it can perform its correct task, if it has order with no disruptions to cell metabolism. For each cell to function correctly and to communicate with the surrounding cells it relies on charged ions -protons, neutrons and electrons. These charged ions like magnets attract and discharge its ingredients and allows for communication to take place on a physical, emotional and psychological level. We know that each go hand-in-hand and when there is dis-order on one of these levels it affects the other.

Scientific research helps us to understand that these charged ions form an electrical communication network that is known as the ‘Living Matrix’ and its by-product bio-magnetism.

With this in mind we can consider how conflicts and traumas on a physical, psychological and emotional level cause disruptions in our energy system, which culminate in blockages. This helps us to appreciate that a blockage is a breakdown in communication on a neurological and energy level. On a physical level this can culminate in an ache, pain, injury, illness or disease.

With a better understanding that every person works on an energy level it begs the question - Can You?

Michael Cohen is a practitioner and teacher of a dynamic form of Bioenergy Healing Treatment and founder of the 3 Bioenergy Healing Treatment Clinics in London.  

He has established a reputation for working with chronic and difficult emotional, psychological and physical cases. His inspiring results come from a diverse range of clients from a 4-year-old girl to a 93-year-old lady from a range of backgrounds with their own belief patterns. Naturally each client’s perception differs however the one thing that correlates is that each person has a self-belief that they would like to have an increased quality of life, overcome their illness, ailment or condition, or performance limitation. An analogy to best explain this is that there are some people who are happy to do a 9-5 job with no ambition to progress and then there are those whom wish to move up the ladder to higher levels of success.

Bioenergy Treatment techniques work with the biomagnetic field interactions between practitioner and client. This way of working has a profound effect that brings order to the bioelectric circuitry of the client’s ‘body energy system’. This in turn activates the body's innate healing mechanism which can repair or rehabilitate the: ailment, condition or injury.  This technique can pinpoint the origin / location of the cause of an aliment, injury, illness, condition, blockage, issue, conflict or trauma (past or present).

Treatment involves working with hands-on techniques using mild manipulation with the fingertip, and hands-off to stretch the energy. These techniques: release, activate and enhance cellular regeneration and the healing process. Most importantly it releases the memory patterns on all levels - cellular, physical, emotional and psychological.

Other positive attributes included increased: perception, ability to adapt (without compromise), stillness of the mind, focus, clarity, confidence and most importantly instinctual awareness.

Working on a scanning level rather than a textbook approach is very precise and specific to the client and their ailments...without having to analyse the why's, when's and how's. This enables the work to be in the present and most importantly determines the pace and priority. 

Bioenergy Healing can restore and balance the vibratory circuitry, with obvious and profound benefits. The body's defence and repair systems are able to repair themselves...working effectively, efficiently and preventively.

Bioenergy Healing Treatment is not just about what a practitioner or healer can do for you but how the practitioner can work with you to enhance your own self-healing mechanism and perform on an enhanced level. What we are talking about is self-empowerment. Therefore the client does not become reliant on the practitioner on a long-term basis and neither do they feel abandoned at the end of a series of healing sessions. 

To this end all clients are offered the opportunity to attend training to learn Bioenergy Healing techniques so as to start work on them self between and beyond a series of healing treatment.  

The Bioenergy Healing Treatment Clinic offers 1-2-1 healing treatment and training course at its 3 London clinics for clients, practitioners and persons interested in enhancing their ability to heal. 

The CMA - Complementary Medical Association, certifies all work and training courses. Memberships also include the BCMA - British Complementary Medical Association and The Association of Energy Therapists.
