Energy Healing As Effective Therapy For Cancer Management

This week's blog comes from guest blogger, Melanie Bowen who is an advocate for natural health and cancer cure initiatives.  After graduating with a bachelor's degree in English with a speciality in Psychology and Medical Research, you will often find her highlighting the great benefits of different nutritional, emotional, and physical treatments on those with illnesses, in her efforts to spread awareness.

Energy Healing as effective therapy for cancer management

Energy healing is one domain of complementary or alternative medicine.  It is based on the belief that a trained therapist, or healer, can channel energy into a patient through hands-on, hands-off, or distant healing.  Healing methods such as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Healing Touch, and Intuitive Bodywork, are often used in cancer treatment.

The American Cancer Society defines complementary medicine as different from alternative medicine.  Alternative medicine typically replaces mainstream medicine as a form of treatment.  Complementary medicine, on the other hand, works alongside standard medical care.

Cancer patients who use alternative medicine alone can experience serious outcomes.  However, when integrated with traditional cancer treatment, energy healing can have a tremendous impact on pain management, emotional healing, and quality of life.  Whether a patient is facing a dire mesothelioma prognosis or breast cancer surgery, energy healing can play a positive role in their cancer management.

Emotional Freedom Techniques

The Emotional Freedom Technique, known simply as EFT, is one form of energy healing.  Some cancer patients use this healing therapy as part of their treatment program.  The natural healing power of EFT removes the stress, anxiety, and emotional pain associated with cancer and other chronic diseases.

Based on ancient Eastern philosophy and modern physics, EFT provides relief from pain, disease, and emotional stress.  Similar to acupuncture but without the needles, EFT involves tapping on specific meridians on the face and body whilst focussing on particular words or phrases to release the painful emotions from the body.  These words or phrases have an emotional charge which is neutralise whilst tapping, thus lessening the symptoms.

An overwhelming majority of people who use this form of energy healing achieve success when they work with an effective, trained practitioner.  This is good news for cancer survivors, as EFT can be a valuable support to the healing process.

Healing Touch

Healing Touch is another effective energy therapy for an increasing number of cancer patients.  Similar to massage, this nurturing therapy uses light, gentle touch to support the body's natural healing process.

According to Healing Touch International, Healing Touch and therapeutic massage were shown to have a positive effect on chemotherapy patients, reducing blood pressure, heart rates and pain levels.  Gynaecological and breast cancer patients experienced improvements in their mood and quality of life when Healing Touch therapy followed radiation treatment.

Healing Touch is an effective healing partner with traditional cancer treatment.  Patients diagnosed with any type of cancer, from melanoma to mesothelioma, can reap both emotional and physical benefits from this healing power.

Intuitive Bodywork

Intuitive Bodywork is a form of therapeutic massage.  A trained therapist places his or her hands on an area of the body to which they are guided.  By tuning into a patient's body, the therapist can 'see' or sense areas where energy is blocked.  The therapist serves as a conduit to help a patient 'hear' what the body is saying and release the negative emotions that block energy. This healing process restores balance and health.

While no scientific evidence exists to support claims that energy healing can cure cancer, these healing therapies have been shown to assist in the healing process. They are excellent complementary and integrative therapies.  Combined with traditional cancer treatment, energy healing can help patients manage pain, reduce stress, and improve their overall wellbeing.
