Eastern energy healing for the western Homeostasis!

Energy healing and homeostasis are synonymous. But how? Read more. 

 
What causes body ailments and pain? Going by the various diagnosis one conducts to find out the root of any disorder related to one’s body it is often observed that diagnosis often report problems in an abstract manner. For example, while diagnosing the cause of a sleep disorder for a particular patient, reports may cite deficient activity of a particular hormone that leads to sleep disorders. However contrary to the western world, the eastern part of the globe relies on a 360 approach to identify and cure ailments at the same time. It is called Energy healing. The fundamental principle of energy healing relies upon a fact that the body maintains a continuous flow of energy across various parts of the body and any disturbance to the existing flow at a particular point on body causes the ailment. This is quite synonymous to what westerners call as Homeostasis.  


Homeostasis as the basis for energy healing/energy medicine
Homeostasis literally means a steady state of the body when it is stable and not suffering with an ailment. Homeostasis has been frequently applied by western physiological experts as a secondary indicator that hinted physiological disorder in the body. Experts used the pH, temperature and other factors as critical determinants for Homeostasis which reflects the physiological stability of an individual. However, in the east Homeostasis took a different form altogether and determined the physical well being of an individual by flow of energy throughout the body instead of relying on variables such as pH value and the body temperature. This metamorphic form of homeostasis not only indicated disorders but employed direct methods such as the acupuncture, emotional healing, Reiki etc. to cure the disorders and are collectively known as Energy medicines or energy healing. Energy healing directly deals with the ailment by facilitating an uninterrupted continuum of energy in the body. Unlike, traditional biochemical medicines, energy medicines emphasize upon the various chakra points that lead to the smooth flow of the energy to various parts of the human body. To sum up, homeostasis and energy healing are two sides of a coin. While the former is used to identify disorders at secondary levels the latter not only identifies but provides various methods to cure the disorders as well.  

Be it the west or the east, the world should benefit
It is often argued that the east and west completely differ in their approach to solve problems. However, in reality it’s merely the presentation that differs and that leads to a difference in the opinion categorizing them as different disciplines which can never go hand-in hand. Regarding Energy Medicine definition and energy healing, we can only hope that the mysteries that can connect both the world provides us common areas where both traditional medicine and energy medicine coincide and can employed for effective treatment of ailments for mankind.  In the end, be it Eastern energy healing for the western Homeostasis or vice versa it should be beneficial for the entire world.
