Age Defying Energy Medicine

Age-Defying Energy Medicine
By Christina Gregory, Energy Therapist
What a concept! To defy aging. Is it even possible? The process starts at birth, yet we only wake up to its effects on our lives as we pass 40, at least. Then we begin to look for the lotions and potions, surgeries, injections, exercises, and even lifestyle changes to halt the process as much as possible or at least cover it up!

It has been said that the concept of aging is in mind. Most certainly, it is a perspective as well as the way our body conceives of it. If your mantra about aging is “getting old is not for sissies,” aging will feel like a battleground. If your mantra is “grateful to be able to get older and share my wisdom,” even on an achy day, there will be an element of joy in the process.

Self-image, especially body image as we age, can feel threatened as things begin to sag and joints complain, and it can create a feeling of “I’m going downhill.” How our parents perceived aging and certainly how our culture perceives it feeds into our self-image and concept of what aging looks like. And no matter what is going on in our bodies, how we perceive our aging process is key to living fully in the midst of it.

How would energy therapy help in our perspective about aging and in the process itself?

Because energy is vibration and goes where it needs to go and does what it needs to do, a perspective often begins to change even on the first experience of energy therapy. It softens the weight of condemnation by self or culture. In time, over successive sessions, greater self-love comes into play. And self-love is the game changer whether you are healthy or ill.

Love is the highest energy, and that is what is used in energy therapy of all stripes. Love is part of universal energy. It eases pain either real or perceived; it heightens awareness of the beauty of life by changing the perception about the difficulties we may be going through. I once saw an angry, bitter patient with leukemia come out of his energy nap and say, “my whole perspective has changed about what is happening!” Cured? No. Healed? Most definitely.

All energy therapy helps let go as it is the excellent releaser That healing vibration goes to the source. Aging is not only a physical process but mental as well. If we are carrying the baggage of regrets or self-hatred, it will age us quite quickly. Even current habits of anxiety about aging can contribute to our perception. That can also take people down the rabbit hole of not feeling they deserve to be well.

Interestingly, indigenous healers understand very well the letting process as part of healing. They use rituals with stones, eggs, or lemons that sweep the accumulated energy effects off the outside of the body biofield while giving the mind space to release what no longer serves in our self-image and concepts of aging. That holding on to the past can make aging very difficult and create aches and pains and diseases that do not need to be there.

By all means, change lifestyle, eat clean, keep moving and connected to community but also consider energy therapy to support and heal at all levels making your journey one of joy rather than pain and aging gracefully indeed.
