In the burgeoning field of health care Energy Medicine is composed of two branches. One branch is a bio-mechanical intervention utilizing electrical and magnetic equipment which images, stimulates (treats), or is diagnostic in nature. The second branch is referred to as bio-field energy therapy and there are multiple disciplines of bio-field energy practices in allied healthcare today.

All matter has a field of energy associated with it and in particular biological matter has multiple unique energy signatures and frequencies. It is these unique energy signatures that allow for diagnostic information to be gathered in the form of MRI’s, CT’s and Radiographs (in the biomechanical branch) and as “congestion” or “stillness” (in the bio-field branch). Nursing diagnosis includes ‘energy field disturbance’ to include energy assessments.
The human energy field can express congestion in the form of a “distorted” or “changed” energy signature (this is what allows for analysis by MRI’s, CT’s, X-ray, etc.) and appears as congestion in the bio-field branch of Energy Medicine. A changed energy expression can be caused by environmental changes such as trauma and can also be due to unexpressed/unprocessed emotional/spiritual experiences. Change to congested energy is a movement toward wholeness and wellness.

Since all humans are composed of this energy, a trained practitioner (anyone can learn this) can support a healing process by centering on a clear and vibrant expression of their own energy and allow for a healing environment that the client can resonate with. This is like moving a ringing tuning fork into the field of a “still” tuning fork. The silent fork will acoustically couple at the same frequency and begin to “sing”. A trained practitioner permits for a similar response in a client who is experiencing illness, stress, or undergoing a surgical process. This can allow for quicker healing from surgery; less trauma, less bruising and blood loss, faster recovery, as well as a decrease in the stress response and increase in immune function.

Much research is being conducted in the bio-field arena and there is ongoing mapping of these energy signatures. It is these signatures that are addressed in Chinese Energy Medicine as well, commonly known as acupuncture. One particularly academic practice of bio-field energy therapy currently being taught to many nurses and physicians is the Healing Touch Program.
