Science and Charts on Energy Work

DR. WEST'S CHART

I listened to Dr. Kenneth West from South Africa lecture in the fall of 2012 in North Ogden, Utah. He gave me permission to share this power point slide of his publicly.

“Working with scientists from Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, it became clear there is a hierarchy of function – the longer the wavelength, the more powerful it is. The longest wavelength measurable is called the Boson and, … it controls the hierarchy. Zero Point is at the top of the pyramid and the Boson creates the descending order of power all the way down to the structural level.

This illustrates why therapies using the waves higher up the pyramid (like energy work, prayer, sound healing) so often produce results superior to those at the bottom of the pyramid, where surgery and biochemical therapies reside. It is also interesting that the further down the pyramid you go, the greater the risk to the patient, the higher the cost and the more irreversible the changes.” (Dr. Kenneth West, “Stress Addiction,” Odyssey, Issue 2 2012, p 44)

I believe Dr. West explained that the techniques listed above the bottom level are examples of using the wavelengths in bold. The "Hierarchy of Function," portrayed in the pyramid above, summarizes some points in my book, Healing Arts - A Gift from God.

VIDEO - SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH OF ENERGY HEALING

Dr. William Tiller, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University is the author of eight books and 250 scientific papers. He explains, “We now know that the body heals through frequency, vibration and resonance and it’s communicated through light.”

Here is a very short video of Dr. William Tiller, talking about the scientific research he has done 5 times on the healing modality Reconnective Healing by Dr Eric Pearl. Dr. Tiller mentions developing a device to measure the energy of the space where a workshop was held and how the energy measurably changed - quite drastically, in fact.

Dr. Tiller said, "It isn't an energy effect. It is an entropy effect. Information is being exchanged. Information is being created. When information is being created, entropy decreases...In the process of the Eric Pearl Reconnection (Reconnective) Healing, people are building infrastructure into themselves. Therefore information is growing in the universe. Which means the thermodynamic entropy is decreasing. Which means that nature is restoring itself...It heals the space. It heals our world."

(You can read about this research. "An Experimental Investigation of Some Reconnective-Healing Workshops via a Unique Subtle Energy Detector" is on White Paper XI by William A. Tiller, Ph.D. and Walter E. Dibble, Jr., Ph.D.)

A SIMILAR CHART

A similar chart to the one above that I've titled 5 Levels of Healing by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt is found below (and simplified in my first book on slide # 467. Both charts are in my second book).

Quoting Dr. Klinghardt, one author says:

"Health and illness are a reflection of the state of these 5 levels. ... Any health problem can originate on any of the 5 levels.... An imbalance on one level, if left untreated, spreads upward or downward to the other levels.... Unless upper level imbalances are addressed, restoring balance at the lower levels will not produce long-lasting effects.... Therapeutic intervention at the lower levels has a very slow, and little penetrating effect upwards.... But if you do an intervention on the 3rd or 4th level, it can correct the [block] on the 2nd level immediately, within seconds or minutes, [Dr. Klinghardt] notes." (Stephanie Marohn, The Natural Medicine Guide to Bipolar Disorder, 59-60, 72, emphasis added)

Simply put, that sums up what a number of energy work modalities are doing! I believe these processes involve a sacred light, sound, and breath. The field of energy work often involves breathing techniques, unseen light in and around the body and various forms of sound waves. These underlying principles are spoken of in terms the world uses as well as by religious terms. My book Healing Arts - A Gift from God points out that Zero Point Energy, listed at the top of the pyramid above, is related to intelligence in the light of Christ which mentions other scriptural terms for sacred light, sound and breath. Interestingly, cutting edge scientists have found that healing involves vibration, frequency and resonance -- all communicated through light!

What a blessing that Dr. Klinghardt is world renowned for helping autistic patients as well as Lyme patients in his medical practice. I am deeply grateful for this pioneer who teaches other medical doctors his form of applied kinesiology muscle testing as well as how to release unresolved trauma from generations past and other energy healing techniques.

"Dr. Klinghardt estimates that about 70% of mental disorders across the board go back to systemic family issues that need to be treated. People try to treat them psychologically, on the 3rd level and it cannot work. This is not the right level. Similarly, focusing on the biochemistry is not going to fix the problem when the source is at the 4th level." (Stephanie Marohn, The Natural Medicine Guide to Bipolar Disorder, 70)

The 4th level is where systemic family issues or generational problems reside. Clearing generational issues is an area that energy work addresses. What a difference this makes for people!

"Unresolved trauma does not appear to go away with death, but plays out in a variety of ways in later generations. Often, unresolved trauma from previous generations becomes the source, and the causative event of illness is later generations.... Most people overlook this and can never help their patients. I use this work for all autistic children that come to my practice.... When we resolve issues in the family history there is often magical improvement in these children. By healing the trauma of the past these children are healed in the present." (Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., "The 5 Levels of Healing" video, www.mercola.com, Tamara Laing's transcribed notes)

These and other quotes and scriptures on the subject of generational healing as well as religious validation for many underlying principles of energy healing are mentioned in my first book but delved into in my second book. Some of these quotes are in my DVD "What Else Is There?" Like Dr. Klinghardt, and a host of facilitators of energy work, we attest that changes in health and behavior can happen quickly today -- just like they did when facilitated by mortals in Bible times. Believing in these techniques is not a requirement for them to work, only a willingness to try is. Belief, however, adds even more to one's results. Faith is a literal power as "Thought" near the top of Dr. West's pyramid attests!

Another professional paper has a chart on 6 strengths that the field of Energy Medicine has. It is described here:

The current status of energy medicine and its increasing challenge to the biochemical paradigm that has dominated conventional medicine are reviewed. While energy medicine represents only a small fraction of one percent of the 2.2 trillion dollar health care industry, six properties of energy medicine give it strengths that could augment conventional health care models.

These include the ways energy medicine

1) can address biological processes at their energetic foundations (reach),

2) regulates biological processes with precision, speed, and flexibility (efficiency),

3) fosters healing and prevents illness with interventions that can be readily, economically, and non-invasively applied (practicality),

4) includes methods that can be utilized on an at-home, self-help basis, fostering a stronger patient and practitioner partnership in the healing process (patient empowerment),

5) adopts non-linear concepts consistent with distant healing, the healing impact of prayer, and the role of intention in healing (quantum compatibility), and

6) strengthens the integration of body, mind, and spirit, leading not only to a focus on healing, but to achieving greater well-being, peace, and passion for life (holistic orientation).”

Ezra Taft Benson addresses depression

What follows is a great sermon from a modern day prophet of God about depression.

Ezra Taft Benson, “Do Not Despair,” Ensign, Oct 1986, 2

We live, in an age when, as the Lord foretold, men’s hearts are failing them, not only physically but in spirit. (See D&C 45:26.) Many are giving up heart for the battle of life. Suicide ranks as a major cause of deaths of college students. As the showdown between good and evil approaches with its accompanying trials and tribulations, Satan is increasingly striving to overcome the Saints with despair, discouragement, despondency, and depression.

Yet, of all people, we as Latter-day Saints should be the most optimistic and the least pessimistic. For while we know that “peace shall be taken from the earth, and the devil shall have power over his own dominion,” we are also assured that “the Lord shall have power over his saints, and shall reign in their midst.” (D&C 1:35–36.)

With the assurance that the Church shall remain intact with God directing it through the troubled times ahead, it then becomes our individual responsibility to see that each of us remains faithful to the Church and its teachings. “He that remaineth steadfast and is not overcome, the same shall be saved.” (JS—M 1:11.) To help us from being overcome by the devil’s designs of despair, discouragement, depression, and despondency, the Lord has provided at least a dozen ways which, if followed, will lift our spirits and send us on our way rejoicing.

First, repentance. In the Book of Mormon we read that “despair cometh because of iniquity.” (Moro. 10:22.) “When I do good I feel good,” said Abraham Lincoln, “and when I do bad I feel bad.” Sin pulls a man down into despondency and despair. While a man may take some temporary pleasure in sin, the end result is unhappiness. “Wickedness never was happiness.” (Alma 41:10.) Sin creates disharmony with God and is depressing to the spirit. Therefore, a man would do well to examine himself to see that he is in harmony with all of God’s laws. Every law kept brings a particular blessing. Every law broken brings a particular blight. Those who are heavy-laden with despair should come unto the Lord, for his yoke is easy and his burden is light. (See Matt. 11:28–30.)

Second, prayer. Prayer in the hour of need is a great boon. From simple trials to our Gethsemanes, prayer—persistent prayer—can put us in touch with God, our greatest source of comfort and counsel. “Pray always, that you may come off conqueror.” (D&C 10:5.) “Exerting all my powers to call upon God to deliver me” is how the young Joseph Smith describes the method that he used in the Sacred Grove to keep the adversary from destroying him. (JS—H 1:16.) This is also a key to use in keeping depression from destroying us.

Third, service. To lose yourself in righteous service to others can lift your sights and get your mind off personal problems, or at least put them in proper focus. “When you find yourselves a little gloomy,” said President Lorenzo Snow, “look around you and find somebody that is in a worse plight than yourself; go to him and find out what the trouble is, then try to remove it with the wisdom which the Lord bestows upon you; and the first thing you know, your gloom is gone, you feel light, the Spirit of the Lord is upon you, and everything seems illuminated.” (In Conference Report, 6 Apr. 1899, pp. 2–3.)A woman whose life is involved in the righteous rearing of her children has a better chance of keeping up her spirits than the woman whose total concern is centered in her own personal problems.

Fourth, work. The earth was cursed for Adam’s sake. Work is our blessing, not our doom. God has a work to do, and so should we. Retirement from work has depressed many a man and hastened his death. It has been said that even the very fiends weave ropes of sand rather than face the pure hell of idleness. We should work at taking care of the spiritual, mental, social, and physical needs of ourselves and of those whom we are charged to help. In the church of Jesus Christ, there is plenty of work to do to move forward the kingdom of God. Missionary work, family genealogy and temple work, home evenings, receiving a Church assignment and magnifying it are but a few of our required labors.

Fifth, health. The condition of the physical body can affect the spirit. That’s why the Lord gave us the Word of Wisdom. He also said that we should retire to our beds early and arise early (see D&C 88:124), that we should not run faster than we have strength (see D&C 10:4), and that we should use moderation in all good things. In general, the more food we eat in its natural state—without additives—and the less it is refined, the healthier it will be for us. Food can affect the mind, and deficiencies of certain elements in the body can promote mental depression. A good physical examination periodically is a safeguard and may spot problems that can be remedied. Rest and physical exercise are essential, and a walk in the fresh air can refresh the spirit. Wholesome recreation is part of our religion and is a necessary change of pace; even its anticipation can lift the spirit.

Sixth, reading. Many a man in his hour of trial has turned to the Book of Mormon and been enlightened, enlivened, and comforted.The psalms in the Old Testament have a special food for the soul of one in distress. In our day, we are additionally blessed with the Doctrine and Covenants—modern revelation. The words of the prophets are crucial reading and can give direction and comfort in an hour when one is down.

Seventh, blessing. In a particularly stressful time, or in the anticipation of a critical event, one can seek for a blessing under the hands of the priesthood. Even the Prophet Joseph Smith sought and received a blessing under the hands of Brigham Young and received solace and direction for his soul. Fathers, so live that you can bless your own wives and children. To receive and then consistently and prayerfully ponder one’s patriarchal blessing can give helpful insight, particularly in an hour of need. The sacrament will “bless … the souls” (D&C 20:77, 79) of all those who worthily partake of it, and as such it should be taken often, even by the bedfast, who can arrange with their bishop to receive the sacrament at home or at the hospital.

Eighth, fasting. A certain kind of devil goes not out except by fasting and prayer, the scriptures tell us. (See Matt. 17:14–21.) Periodic fasting can help clear up the mind and strengthen the body and the spirit. The usual fast, the one we are asked to participate in for fast Sunday, is to abstain from food and drink for two consecutive meals. Some people, feeling the need, have gone on longer fasts of abstaining from food but have taken the needed liquids. Wisdom should be used, and this fast should be broken with light eating. To make a fast most fruitful, it should be coupled with prayer and meditation; physical work should be held to a minimum, and one should ponder on the scriptures and the reason for the fast.

Ninth, friends. The fellowship of true friends who can hear you out, share your joys, help carry your burdens, and correctly counsel you is priceless. For one who has been in the prison of depression, the words of the Prophet Joseph Smith have special meaning: “How sweet the voice of a friend is; one token of friendship from any source whatever awakens and calls into action every sympathetic feeling.” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, comp. Joseph Fielding Smith, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1938, p. 134.)

Ideally, our family ought to be our closest friends. Most important, we should seek to become the friend of our Father in Heaven and our brother Jesus the Christ. What a boon to be in the company of those who edify us! To have friends, one should be friendly. Friendship should begin at home and then be extended to encompass the home teacher, quorum leader, bishop, and other Church teachers and leaders. To meet often with the Saints and enjoy their companionship can buoy up the heart.

Tenth, music. Inspiring music may fill the soul with heavenly thoughts, move one to righteous action, or speak peace to the soul. When Saul was troubled with an evil spirit, David played for him with his harp; Saul was refreshed and the evil spirit departed. (See 1 Sam. 16:23.) Elder Boyd K. Packer has wisely suggested memorizing some of the inspiring songs of Zion and then, when the mind is afflicted with temptations, singing aloud, to keep before your mind the inspiring words and crowd out the evil thoughts. (See Ensign, Jan. 1974, p. 28.) This could also be done to crowd out debilitating, depressive thoughts.

Eleventh, endurance. When George A. Smith was very ill, he was visited by his cousin, the Prophet Joseph Smith. The afflicted man reported: “He [the Prophet] told me I should never get discouraged, whatever difficulties might surround me. If I were sunk into the lowest pit of Nova Scotia and all the Rocky Mountains piled on top of me, I ought not to be discouraged, but hang on, exercise faith, and keep up good courage, and I should come out on the top of the heap.” (George A. Smith Family, comp. Zora Smith Jarvis, Provo, Utah: Brigham Young University Press, 1962, p. 54.)

There are times when you simply have to righteously hang on and outlast the devil until his depressive spirit leaves you. As the Lord told the Prophet Joseph Smith: “Thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;“And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high.” (D&C 121:7–8.)

Pressing on in noble endeavors, even while surrounded by a cloud of depression, will eventually bring you out on top into the sunshine. Even our master Jesus the Christ, while facing that supreme test of being temporarily left alone by our Father during the crucifixion, continued performing his labors for the children of men, and then shortly thereafter he was glorified and received a fulness of joy. While you are going through your trial, you can recall your past victories and count the blessings that you do have with a sure hope of greater ones to follow if you are faithful. And you can have that certain knowledge that in due time God will wipe away all tears and that “eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” (1 Cor. 2:9.)

Twelfth, goals. Every accountable child of God needs to set goals, short- and long-range goals. A man who is pressing forward to accomplish worthy goals can soon put despondency under his feet, and once a goal is accomplished, others can be set up. Some will be continuing goals. Each week when we partake of the sacrament we commit ourselves to the goals of taking upon ourselves the name of Christ, of always remembering him and keeping his commandments. Of Jesus’ preparations for his mission, the scripture states that he “increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” (Luke 2:52.) This encompasses four main areas for goals: spiritual, mental, physical, and social. “Therefore, what manner of men ought ye to be?” asked the Master, and he answered, “Verily I say unto you, even as I am.” (3 Ne. 27:27.) Now, there is a lifetime goal—to walk in his steps, to perfect ourselves in every virtue as he has done, to seek his face, and to work to make our calling and election sure.

“Brethren,” said Paul, “but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philip. 3:13–14.)

Let your minds be filled with the goal of being like the Lord, and you will crowd out depressing thoughts as you anxiously seek to know him and do his will. “Let this mind be in you,” said Paul. (Philip. 2:5.) “Look unto me in every thought,” said Jesus. (D&C 6:36.) And what will follow if we do? “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee.” (Isa. 26:3.

“Salvation,” said the Prophet Joseph Smith, “is nothing more nor less than to triumph over all our enemies and put them under our feet.” (Teachings, p. 297.) We can rise above the enemies of despair, depression, discouragement, and despondency by remembering that God provides righteous alternatives, some of which I have mentioned. As it states in the Bible, “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” (1 Cor. 10:13.)

Yes, life is a test; it is a probation; and perhaps being away from our heavenly home we feel sometimes, as holy men in the past have felt, that we are “strangers and pilgrims on the earth.” (See D&C 45:13.)Some of you will recall in that great book Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan that the main character known as Christian was trying to press forward to gain entrance to the celestial city. He made it to his goal, but in order to do so, he had to overcome many obstacles, one of which was to escape from the Giant Despair. To lift our spirits and send us on our way rejoicing, the devil’s designs of despair, discouragement, depression, and despondency can be defeated in a dozen ways, namely: repentance, prayer, service, work, health, reading, blessings, fasting, friends, music, endurance, and goals. May we use them all in the difficult days ahead so that we Christian pilgrims will have greater happiness here and go on to a fulness of joy in the highest realms of the celestial kingdom."
