Self Healing From The Ground Up

Remember I mentioned in the intro blog in this Energy Healing 101 series that part of my mission is to connect you to holistic resources for healing right “in your backyard”?  I meant that in the broader sense (i.e. Westport), but this time I’m going to explain how you have a scientific method for self-healing available literally in your own yard!  

Tapping into the body’s built-in system for relaxing and recharging is something many of you do without even realizing it, especially in the spring and summer.  I’m not talking about ciestas, although powernaps are great.  I’ll give you a hint- this type of energy healing is often experienced by gardeners & beachgoers.  Understanding why we feel so good at the beach or gardening will hopefully give you a fresh glimpse into how energy healing works.  

Getting Grounded

 

barefoot in the sand

You’ve probably experienced how a barefoot walk on the beach can effortlessly rejuvenate you.   Maybe you garden and when you’re down there with hands in the soil, you feel particularly “grounded”. Why is that?  It’s not just about the fresh air, the sunlight, or that you’re taking a break from work.  While those are all valid contributors, the biggest factor in our feeling of wellbeing at the beach or in the garden actually comes via our relationship to the earth’s magnetic field. 

As humans, we are in fact meant to “get grounded.” What does that mean anyway?  According to Merriam-Webster, grounded means:  

“Mentally and emotionally stable; an adjective used to describe someone who is sensible and has a good understanding of what is really important in life”

Connecting to the Earth’s Electro-magnetic Field

Did you know the earth has its own energy field, just as we each do?  

The earth’s geomagnetic field is what causes a compass to point North.  Notice the needle subtly oscillates back and forth?  Every moment somewhere on the planet, lightening is striking the earth which keeps the earth charged as an electromagnetic field.  This energy pulsing from the earth vibrates in a low frequency range, averaging between 7-10hz.  Scientists refer to this as the “Schumann Resonance” after the German atmospheric physicist who proposed this theory in 1950’s which was confirmed by further research in the ‘60s.  

from: Energy Medicine The Scientific Basis

It is important to note that this low frequency range is compatible with our body’s electromagnetic system.  For example, our own brainwaves measure in that range – and the 7-10hz waves fall in the particularly healthy Alpha and Theta realm, which are dominant when we meditate.  The various specific low frequencies have been associated with healing mechanisms in our body.  Specific pulsed electromagnetic frequencies (pemf) when emitted near the skin, have been found to stimulate our natural mechanisms for healing such as tissue repair.  For example, 7hz supports bone growth, 10hz ligament repair, and the list goes on.  

Wired for Walking Barefoot

Thousands of years ago the Chinese accurately mapped out how energy flows in the body through specific channels known as “meridians.”  Note: acupuncture is based on this scientifically validated information from Traditional Chinese Medicine.  There is a meridian for each organ system.  Each organ system has functions related to our health that extend beyond just the physical organ itself which western medicine typically focuses only on the organs’ biochemical functions.   For example, you may know our kidneys are involved in helping filter our blood, but as a system (organ plus channels) part of its job includes serving like our batteries- what charges us with the “chi” (energy) to power up the body in general.  

recharging, walking barefoot

The kidneys’ meridians begin with “Kidney 1”, a point located on the bottom of your feet – in the perfect location to receive energy from the earth’s electromagnetic field!  Our skin is a great conductor. We are meant to walk barefoot!  Through our feet, we naturally can receive the transfer of free electrons from the earth.  Gardeners, there are also important meridian points in your hands as well that also allow for the energetic benefit of digging in the dirt.

Much has been written on this concept of self-healing via the connecting with the earth’s energy.  I recommend a great article further explaining the science behind how “grounding” or “earthing” works by Dr. Mercola based on his interview with energy medicine expert Dr. James Oschman.   

Connecting It All 

If you really want to delve into the science, you must read the book Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis, by Dr. James Oschman.  He comprehensively explores research which has validated various energy healing techniques.  Some energy practitioners use hands-on methods. The energy emitted from their hands during healing sessions has been measured and found to be in the similar frequency range as the earth’s Schumann Resonance (7-10hz.)

Other practitioners utilize advanced non-invasive devices, also scientifically validated, that administer specific pulsed electromagnetic fields (aka PEMF), designed to resonate with aspects of your own energy system to naturally bring it back into balance for self-healing.  (I utilize ONDAMED, a sophisticated system from Germany which incorporates biofeedback.)

In summary, you can practice taking a few minutes out of your day to attune to the healthy frequency of the earth!  Disconnect from electronic devices, distance yourself from wifi, and connect with the healthy waves that we are wired to receive. Walk barefoot in the grass, on the beach, or in your garden.  

Generally tuning up your body simply by connecting to the earth feels so good - imagine having a trained energy healer working with you to more specifically harmonize your unique system with a customized approach?   

There are so many great options - the key is start somewhere; choose one to try and go from there.  If you’re unsure where to start, schedule an initial consult by phone or in person to help guide you to the best options based on your individual goals.  The network of health practitioners I have personally worked with and am confident recommending begins with the group at Center For Energy but extends to others in Fairfield County, NYC, and elsewhere.  Where ever you are, you can start self-healing from the ground up!      

ONDAMED Sessions

What happens in an ONDAMED session?

Each Ondamed session is unique to each client, and customized in conjunction

with information from the individual clients’ condition and goals. 

Receiving energy from ONDAMED

The ONDAMED session itself is gentle, relaxing, and it painlessly stimulates tissues via PEMF to “jump-start” healthy cellular activities. Your body inherently knows how to utilize the healing energy it receives. ONDAMED stimulates connective tissue, what some refer to as the “living matrix” or “extra cellular matrix” which connects all the systems of the body.

Stimulation of the extra cellular matrix can:
• Enhance the release of toxins leading to improved detoxification
• Enhance the absorption of nutrients into the cells
• Reduce edema
• Stimulate cellular repair and regeneration
• Activate lymphatic drainage, thus improving the immune function
• Improve circulation of blood
• Reduce the harmful effects of electromagnetic stress


In general, stimulation with ONDAMED can help your body to:
• Balance metabolism
• Increase vitality
• Produce more positive moods
• Clear mental thought process
What type of energy does ONDAMED provide? 

PEMF stands for pulsed electromagnetic fields. PEMF devices emit pulses of energy. PEMF involves only healthy specific frequencies of energy which are known to facilitate various types of healing in the body. Thousands of published studies that validate the benefits of PEMF.

Dr. Oz featured the science of PEMF on his show:


Why is ONDAMED unique? 

Other PEMF devices exist, but we chose ONDAMED based on its multitude of uses, the sophisticated pre-set programs (combinations of effective fields of energy based on years of practitioners’ successes in the field), and most importantly the ability to customize very specific programs of energy for each individual client; the training of the practitioner to utilize clients’ biofeedback to determine the best PEMF energy to administer based on their bodies’ response.

How Do Practitioners work with the Client and ONDAMED?

Feeling the VAS during assessment

As ONDAMED practitioners, we are trained to assess your body’s VAS (vascular automonic signal, accessed via feeling your pulse). We can scan through specific energy programs in the ONDAMED administered to you while feeling for your body’s response which enables us to choose the best specific fields of energy for your body and also apply it in the specific areas of your body which respond to it. Again, we will feel a reaction in your pulse (VAS) wherever there may be areas of meridian blockage (as in Chinese medicine and acupuncture meridians, the circuits where energy travels within the body for proper communication), or inflammation, old scar tissue, or some other issue that seems to require the specific field of energy to resolve itself.


Why the "Resonating Wellness" name? 

By the way, this underlying scientific process behind ONDAMED is what led to our choosing the name of our practice, Resonating Wellness LLC. The concept of resonance in physics applies to how the ONDAMED works. One dictionary definition of resonance is: “Oscillation induced in a physical system when it is affected by another system that is itself oscillating at the right frequency”. Or if you are among the many people who have a hard time comprehending these complex laws of physics, you may simply think of how you use the term in your day to day life- when something “resonates with you”, it makes sense or it “just feels right”!

Resonating Wellness LLC

Your body will resonate with the specific fields of energy which it needs to facilitate healing and optimal wellness. This resonance is detected via the subtle response in your VAS; the practitioner feels for this pulse response while we administer various programs in the ONDAMED. What’s particularly unique is that even while we are in the process of assessing, you are simultaneously receiving healing energy at the same time.  Not only at the initial appointment but at any and all ONDAMED sessions, the energy selected is customized based on your body's preferences discovered utilizing the VAS assessment each visit.

A few reports from individuals who came to Resonating Wellness with acute or chronic pain: 

"I had physical distresses that were also chronic and mostly unchanged. After a number of minor shoulder injuries over my teen years combined with my chronically mismanaged stress, by the time I was in my mid twenties I was experiencing upper back, shoulder, and neck pain that would get in the way of my ability to exercise, and even at some points daily activities. After years of different therapies both traditional and alternative, an MRI, etc. I was just about reserved to the fact that I had to live with this sometimes unbearable condition. It was Mary’s work with the Ondamed that proved me wrong." -Casey Skillins, client 

 "My ear has been feeling the best it ever has in 4 years!! No migraine either since I finished. Incredible!! And how many doctor's did I see??? Very very grateful to you!" -a client's reply when we checked in a few months after completing sessions.
