LIFE FORCE. "No, I have absolutely no idea what water is," said the fish. "Why do you ask?"

(Eleanor Barrow cartoon in Quantum Touch by Richard Gordon)

This cartoon makes me laugh because I used to be like that fish. I had no idea that we live in an "ocean" of universal life force energy.  That fish represents an over-whelming number of people.  If we asked the average Christian if they believed in "Chi life force energy" they would likely answer "no."  That is sad and ironic because Christians use severaldifferent terms for "life force energy" -- they just haven't realized it yet!  Scripture uses a completely different set of vocabulary to describe the same 'foreign' terms  that holistic health practitioners use!

I share a story in my book of being prompted by the spirit to call a past bishop's wife. I told her of our daughter's trials with severe depression and cutting and suicidal tendencies. She asked if I had only looked for help in the medical field. Startled, I answered, "Yes, of course. What else is there?"

"Oh, she said, "there is a whole other field of medicine." "Really?" I asked incredulously. "Yes, it is called Energy Medicine," she replied in a matter-of-fact way.  She said it was an alternative but complementary treatment. (see Healing Arts, 2)  My bishop's wife explained that the treatments she certified in involved re-patterning the light around a person, which I later found out had to do with life-force energy. I read dozens of books about this novel idea as fast as I could.  One medical doctor wrote that, "healing involved a strengthening of the underlying integrity of an individual's human energies and their re-patterning in a healthier way" (Susan Wagner, M.D., A Doctor's Guide to Therapeutic Touch, 29). 

We found by experience that techniques which cleared and balanced the subtle energy/unseen light enveloping the body were incredibly helpful for my daughter with hopelessness, severe anxiousness and mood swings. The insistence of the spirit led me to this seemingly unusual help.  Initially, I wasn't sure of its compatibility with Christianity. Later on, I found prophets words comparing life-force energy to intelligence in the light of Christ.

That was incredibly validating!  New vocabulary words I had learned such as "Chi"and "Prana" suddenly became Christian terms - no longer cloaked in foreign sounding names. Additionally, the Light of Christ was also compared by prophets to consciousness. That added another health-benefiting-avenue of study. Scholars said higher consciousness, such as forgiveness, could be used purposefully for improved health. I found many scriptures validating what emotions do to us physically. My family was blessed to learn by experience from the late Dr. Jan Graf (always a DC in my mind!) that forgiveness is indeed healing to the body!  Doctors are talking about this now! Perhaps none as much as MK Strydom, MD. Search her name and link to her free book from this site. 

My books and websites offer several answers to the question, "What else is there?" when seeking health and wellness. There are variables involved in healing that traditional medicine often does not consider. Doctors there generally do not practice from the perspective of Whole Person Health, unless holistically trained. I finally realized from one quote by like-minded authors Darla Isackson and Peggy McFarland that the Lord himself tells us repeatedly that He is the light (energy) and life (vital life force) of the world! Scripture talks about these overlooked areas and so do my books!

One area often overlooked is the scriptural term "chase darkness" (from Doctrine and Covenants section 50). Gaining an understanding of that subject alone was incredibly helpful for my daughter as well as hundreds of clients; it is not the end all answer, however. Going to the root of susceptibility still needs addressed. My family has been greatly blessed by other modalities and Information Medicine frequency devices. I am grateful there are energy healing practitioners and Functional Medicine doctors such as Naturopaths and Osteopathic Doctors that seek out the root cause of issues instead of just offering symptom relief.

After writing my first 2 books, I put the best helps I found for my daughter and clients on this website under the tab “Mental First Aid.” I learned from my daughter’s relapse after the births of each of her two children about the loss of minerals… that go “out with the placenta” and of the gut as the "second brain."  It was a huge blessing to learn about EMP Lightning formulated specifically for brain and nervous system health. I do not sell this product but feel compelled to share it with others and how it was born of inspiration. Lightning has IMMENSELY helped family members and clients across the board with brain issues. Read about the Stephan family's incredible story behind this formula on a post HERE.

It has been my experience that work in the field of Energy Medicine can help people draw nearer to Christ. Scripture says the Savior took upon Himself not only our sins, but also our illnesses and heartaches...  all mortal bitterness. That includes our unresolved emotions which are heavily tied to our health. I am a witness that the Savior can swallow up our burdens in His love. This work is very Christ-centered when credit is given where credit is due. My learning journey has taught me how to better apply Jesus Christ's atonement in my life. Jesus Christ is the source of all healing, the Light (energy) and Life (vital life force) of the world! "For I am the Lord that healeth thee." 

It has been my experience that helping people in the healing arts is to help them forgive the past and bring light to dark places. I have been blessed to learn about women and priesthood power and all the words that tie in to faith, such as virtue. I have learned how generational clearing relates to that and is spoken of over and over in Isaiah. There is much scriptural backing for principles used in this work! 

I am so excited that MK Strydom, a medical doctor in South Africa teaches the same basic principles that I have learned. She teaches how powerfully connected our thoughts are to health and healing. She teaches to forgive in order to heal. She teaches to cast out dark spirits and to clear generational issues for our ancestors (just like D&C 98:45-48 teaches!).  Her very thick book, Healing Begins with Sanctification of the Heart is available free online as a PDF! She never once uses the term "energy" because she uses Biblical terms instead. I'm so grateful that MK Styrdom M.D.'s book and work is a second witness to the healing principles I have learned in Energy Medicine. 

Studying the field of Energy Medicine has helped me to understand deeper meaning of scripture verses. Some verses which I previously thought were merely symbolic I now understand as reality. The more I learn about energy medicine, the more I learn that faith is a principle of power.  It has been my experience that Christ centered integrative health modalities teach a person they can ask in faith for much more than they previously thought. This can be a spiritual creation work. Some forms of energy work could be called spiritual re-patterning. Change must occur first on the spiritual level before it manifests on the worldly plane.  I have observed since 2004 as a facilitator of Healing Arts that doing emotional release work can be a very spiritual process which fosters the realization about spiritual gifts or the development of them. There are also areas to avoid altogether! Run away from facilitators who would 'predict' your future or cross any other lines God warns about. Such is NOT a part of energy healing. My books contain scriptural and apostolic warnings for facilitators since we are to be 'vigilant for God's word' (Isaiah 66). Ethics

[What used to be called Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) by the National Institutes of Health is now studied by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). Congress changed out the descriptive term “alternative” from their name saying it no longer fit. It is exciting that some energy healing techniques are being used in forward thinking hospitals such as Yale, Duke University, John Hopkins the Mayo Clinic and many others.]

With the arrival in 2020 of my Healy device from Germany and especially in 2022 of my iTeraCare device from Malaysia, I continue to learn that our body's ability to heal is greater than we've been led to believe. Truly, cutting edge science has discovered "we now know that the body heals through frequency, vibration and resonance and it's communicated through light." (William Tiller, PhD) This light the world calls 'Chi' is intelligence in the light of Christ! It is Jesus Christ's light that is the life force energy keeping us alive, "lending us breath" (Mosiah 2:21) being the universal recording mechanism and governing power of more than health. 

Open your heart to new possibilities.  There are new and exciting options that aid in health and wellness. My family is extremely blessed because we were led to these integrative methods! Explore my website to learn more. The search box is a most helpful tool on here. I highly recommend checking out my first book whether you are a beginner or a facilitator. It really opens eyes as to how much consciousness is tied to health. It opens up eyes about life force energy. You’ll see that Chi and chakras are for Christians!

Happy reading!
