Vibrational/Energy medicine is based on the premise that everything that exists is energy vibrating at different frequencies, the world we perceive & experience through our five senses and our physical bodies is synthesised as information through the neural pathways in the brain. We are all bundles of cells, molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles (quanta) vibrating at different frequencies to create the physical world we experience, what we experience as manifest matter. Everything vibrates (exists) at a particular frequency, depending on the particular level of consciousness. This surface look at consciousness is just that, surface, this exploration does not at this time explain why and how incoming information through our neural pathways creates or affects our internal life of emotions, and at this time quantum science cannot explain how the brain creates consciousness. See www.quantumconsciousness.org

So if we are all energetic systems vibrating at different frequencies, when in good health, all parts of our energy system or field of energy can work in harmony, we are radiant, we are radiating our ‘health frequency’. Good health is not just a physical experience; it incorporates us as holistic, multifaceted beings, a presentation of our spiritual, psychological, emotional and physical selves. With this in mind, energy medicine is also a multifaceted approach to health and well-being utilising many mediums for the transference of energy from one system to another, eg from lets say a crystal to a human, animal, plant. Lets take crystals. Different types of crystals resonate at different frequencies, these assist in bringing balance and harmony to whatever they come into contact with, for example a person, this is called coherence. For me this is the miraculous simplicity of healing - the coherence of frequency of crystal and person for transformation!

The Process of Transformation

So what is ‘transformation’? Lets take a deeper look at this phenomena with something that most people have had some experience of – weight! Sometime in our lives maybe we have experienced having weight concerns. Any physical presentation has required processes to take place to create the outcome, and these processes are generally habitual, created through repetition. They occur whether we are aware of these processes or not and are taking place constantly. If someone is going through motions/life in an unconscious mode, feelings, thoughts and actions take place to ‘create’ outcomes, but without awareness.

If someone has used food as a comfort or control in times of stress/distress then they are most likely to have created an unconscious reactive process that kicks in at the onset of any stressful experience. Lets say they are presented, without warning, with a situation that causes them to feel out of their depth? Immediately and generally without their awareness physiological processes take place: the hormone Cortisol, known as the ‘stress hormone’ is released from the adrenal cortex, it increases blood pressure and sugar levels and is also an immunosuppressive – meaning it depletes the immune system, and evokes the ‘fight or flight’ experience. This has an immediate effect on the physical heart as increased heart rate, and it also has an immediate effect on the energetic heart centre, our emotional centre, which is directly & intricately linked to the brain. The probability of a habitual response will occur, they will look to food to alleviate the uncomfortable feeling that has occurred to evoke feelings of safety. Thus increased intake of food may create increased weight gain, and then possibly feelings of guilt for the consequential behaviour, this may in turn create another bout of binge eating! The cycle goes round & round unconsciously strengthening the pathway. This is also the cycle for the eating disorder bulemia. This process is also true of positive emotional experiences and how they affect the brain function.

Below is a section from a study held at the HeartMath Institute

“... The first two studies focus primarily on neurological interactions, demonstrating that the afferent signals the heart sends the brain during positive emotions can alter brain activity in several ways. In the first study, we find that cardiac coherence can drive entrainment between very low frequency brainwaves and heart rhythms, thus further expanding our understanding of the physiological entrainment mode described in the previous section. In the second study, we learn that coherent heart rhythms also lead to increased heart-brain synchronization. The implications of these findings are explored in the third study, and shows that in states of high heart rhythm coherence, individuals demonstrate significant improvements in cognitive performance ...” CLICK Here for further info of the research studies.

Which comes first, the heart/emotional response or the brain? Scientifically, research is finding that instantaneous responses first occur in our emotional energy then, in a split second a neuron response is fired within the brain which finds the strongest synaptic pathway related to the emotional response to produce a physiological reaction. This, over a period of time creates a behavioural response which in turn will create physical manifestation- physical structure alters!!!

At a finer level, how does the brain ‘choose’ which response? Well maybe it doesn’t consciously ‘choose’, it is reactive so it searches for the strongest neural pathway and the synapse function is triggered. This impulse is converted to a physiological chemical process, which either excites or inhibits activity in the connecting neuron depending on the intensity. This determines the molecular event at the synapse. Sustained behaviour creates a synaptic pathway, the more it is used, the stronger it becomes – and the more ingrained the behaviour.

SYNAPSES FUNCTION IN THE FLOW OF INFORMATION: The creation of perceptions?

At the synapse, nerve impulses are converted to physiological chemical processes, which excite or inhibit activity in the connecting neuron depending on their strength (intensity) which determines the molecular events at the synapse (synaptic activity) eg sending a message to release the cortisol when the body registers fear. Depending on the occurrence of excitation or inhibition synapses are either strengthened or weakened. New synapses can be created. Established synapses can deteriorate, through limited use. As a result of this process of ‘synapse modification’ neural pathways is altered, behaviours change.
