‘Energy
Medicine’ -
a New Generation of Self-healing Tools
History
of energy shapes and designs
Throughout
history, people have created shapes and designs that can attract and channel
energies. Like the Great Pyramids of Egypt, beautiful patterned mazes,
complex and compelling mandalas and ancient stone circles. Why did people
create these shapes and designs? Do they have special properties that can
help us today?
If
we analyze these patterns, we come up with two common factors: balance and
energy. The shapes and angles of the Great Pyramids are balanced - they are
renowned for their energy properties. Energy mazes have balanced patterns
and when walked, can build the energy levels of people. Mandalas contain
symmetrical designs. Some can help build energy. Ancient stone circles are
laid out in a balanced order, with many having alternately male and female
polarised stones that may act as energy accumulators, which work much the
same way as a battery.
How
do these shapes and designs work?
Energy
in this context refers to energy that is all around us - sometimes known as
Ch’i or Pranic Energy - that feeds our subtle bodies: aura, chakra's and
meridian lines. If our subtle bodies are damaged or blocked, energy can be
restricted or leak. Thus the related parts of the physical body become weak
or ill. Healers repair or unblock subtle bodies, allowing the body’s
natural healing process to take place. Imbalance causes illness, and using
balanced shapes and designs, if set to specific angles, patterns and
direction, can attract and channel energies that re-balance subtle bodies,
mirroring the role of a healer.
Can
Shapes and Designs heal?
For
some years, I have been concerned about how many people around the world
need healing compared against the limited number of healers available. To
help redress the balance, four years ago I invited a group of healers to
work with me to create a new generation of self-healing tools. Our first
concern was to create a safe and protected environment that could channel
healing energies. After two intense years of experiment and heartache, we
produced our first three-dimensional, four-sided, pyramid healing
environment - figure 1. After many case studies and fine adjustments, we
felt ready to market our first Self-Healing Energy Tool.
The
design of this tool arose from many sessions of meditation. During this
time, the group kept ‘seeing’ a complex pattern. But we were unable to
draw it. We started to experiment with many shapes, and found that all
shapes and designs have associated energy. However, we were unable to create
the right shape and design for healing. I suggested to the group that we
leave this study for the time being; I felt we could be trying too hard and
blocking ourselves.
Within
a few weeks, one of the group came across the shape and design that we’d
been ‘seeing’ in a book called Pranic Healing, by Master Choa Kok Sui, a
healer in the Far East. We contacted Master Sui, who was good enough to give
us his permission to use the design. We modified the design to mirror the
angles of our first pyramid energy healing tool, added colour and a copper
lining for grounding. This created the first two-dimensional-design healing
tool. - figure 2. All these healing tools can work without the user having
to think or do anything special. Just being in or near the tool can enhance
the energy flow to subtle bodies, and evoke the body’s healing processes.
How have
they been tested?
Initially,
Gentle Touch’s healers carried out testing on themselves to ensure that
they were happy the tools were safe to use. Where possible, using ‘blind
testing’ so that they did not know which tool they were testing, or in
which direction it faced. The healers then supplied the tools to another
group of healers who carried out case studies with their patients. Each
patient was given a set list of questions and was invited to add their
comments and suggestions.
Case
Study Results
Results
extracted from initial case studies are shown in figure 3. The only question
that did not achieve over 90% was “Did you feel stimulated”. Further
study found that only some people are stimulated while others become
relaxed. This is due to the healing tools stimulating those who lack energy,
and calming those who have too much energy.
What
can these tools heal?
The
range of illnesses that these healing tools can help is still the subject of
study. At the moment, there is evidence from users that the tools helped
with a wide range of problems including those involving the back, hands,
headaches, feet, migraine, necks, nerves, shoulders, skin and stress-related
problems. The list keeps growing as more people use the tools.
However,
although these products have been well-trialled and found to be effective
healing tools, no guarantee can be given that everyone who uses them will
improve their well being or health. What might work for one person may not
necessarily work for another.
Since
the launch of the first healing tools, the range has been expanded to
include six-sided versions of the pyramid shape and the flat design – as
per the mouse mat version in figure 4.
The
question then became: “what is the difference between the four- and
six-sided designs?” Although there are no set rules, we sometimes find
that:
-
The
four-sided shapes and designs can be good for physically-related
problems (the base chakra is four sided and relates to the physical
body).
-
The
six-sided shapes and designs can be good for emotionally-related
problems (the heart chakra and other emotional chakra's are based on six
sides).
People
choose the shape or design that they are drawn towards. Alternatively, we
advise them based on their type of illness.
Kirlian
Photographic Evidence
Rosemary
Steel, Vice President and British Representative of the International Union
of Medical and Applied Bioelectrography, assessed the effects of sitting for
20 minutes in the large four-sided pyramid – figure 5. Kirlian prints
shown below were taken before (figure 6) and after (figure 7) this session.
The prints demonstrated that a balancing effect had taken place.
“Kirlian
Photography is one way of monitoring changes in energy distribution, as a
response to a process or treatment. The whole hand shown is one of the ways
of taking an image, but other methods would also show any changes, depending
on whether statistical information was required or the image was to be used
as a tool for working with the client. After a twenty-minute session in this
four-sided pyramid, the second picture shows more balance between the two
hands than there was before. The small marks of movement that appear on the
second image do not detract from the information.” (Testimonial from Rosemary Steele.)
She
also said: “Working with this information helped understanding and
recognition of how the energy was moving. Literally, by virtue of the
greater balance, more energy was released and was available to the subject
to cope with the demands made upon it.
“Relaxation may be experienced after sitting in this pyramid. It is very appealing and
simple way to achieve this.
“Dependant
on the personal commitment of the recipient, relaxation experienced in the
pyramid can be used to remove worry, to encourage sleep or to recharge
batteries, depending on what is appropriate at the time. The energizing
effect could be as refreshing as it is relaxing.
“It
is frequently observed that, as Gerda Borgensen, of the Biodynamic Massage
Association listens for the gurgles in the gut as a sign of energy releasing
(restoring balance to the natural peristalsis), similar sounds are also
often observed in times of quiet in the pyramid. Any monitoring of the
pulse, respiration or heart would produce similar observations to Kirlian
photography, but not a visible feedback of the effective redistribution of
energy. The right hand relates to the left brain (the face presented to the
world), the left hand to the right brain (the inner processes).”
Testimonials
Grant
Buxton (6th December 2001)
My
daughter Annabel is four years old. Over the last two years she has suffered
from eczema on her wrists and hands. Constant irritation and scratching
meant that her skin was often broken, obviously sore and very red. Despite
changing her diet to exclude diary products and the regular application of
steroid and moisturizing creams, the eczema didn’t go completely and in
fact only fluctuated between “not too bad” and “very angry”.
A
chance meeting and conversation with Ray Wilson lead him supplying Annabel
with a healing tool (a two-dimensional, four-sided pyramid) that he thought
might help. I introduced the healing tool to Annabel as a game “square”
and Annabel played the game every morning. I’d be the first to admit that
without physical remedies such as creams or changes in diet I find it
difficult to understand how the healing process works but the results are
indeed physical and Annabel’s eczema has completely gone. She has been
clear for the last three weeks and so far the eczema has shown no signs of
reappearing. Fascinating.
Mary
(21st November 2001)
Back
in 1993 I had some strange things begin to happen to me. Driving along my
arm would ‘go to sleep’ and stay that way for hours at a time. Parts of
my back began to bruise but I had no pain or awareness of having hurt
myself. I mentioned the problem with my hand to the doctor. He suggested it
could be carpal tunnel syndrome and if it continued to be a problem, they
could run some tests. I began to sleep more and more of the time and I was
permanently tired. This all came to a head when I suffered a sort of
“attack” at work. I had to sit down and felt as if I was passing out,
but it was my body and not my head that had collapsed. I had lost all
feelings down one side of my body. I feared that I had a stroke. After years
of tests at the various hospitals, I was returned to my doctor with the news
that I had suffered nerve damage of uncertain cause, but there was no
treatment. I pressed my own doctor and eventually she told me that they
believed I was probably in the early stages of MS.
One
of my colleagues, unknown to me at that time, was a healer. When I came into
work on a bad day she would look at me, know where the problem was and give
me a quick healing session. Shortly after this my healer retired and at her
birthday party introduced me to Ray Wilson who she believed could help me. I
was at this time unable to feel most of one side and was suffering
considerable back pain. He gave me healing and I began to see him on a
regular weekly basis.
A
major breakthrough occurred for me when I first used the original
three-dimensional, four-sided pyramid. I had a powerful reaction when
sitting in the pyramid. From that day I recovered a lot of the sensations in
my feet and legs that had been ‘gone’ for years. Although this came and
went for some time I have continued to maintain these improvements. I am
confident that my path is forward. I have my own pyramid now, and my healers
are my friends and give me more than physical healing, they give me insights
into ways of helping myself and thinking of the future.

Carol Rands, Patient: Shirley Ayres - Age 65 (5th November 2001)
Shirley
had migraine since the age of six. In adulthood, she was unable to sleep
without tablets for pain and tension in neck and shoulders. The migraine
remained untreated until the age of 45, when the patient was prescribed
Syndol - no treatment or recommendations for neck and shoulder pains.
Shirley started to use the three-dimensional, four-sided pyramid in the
winter of 1999when she came to my healing room once a week for half an hour
to three-quarters of an hour per session. She lay on a treatment couch
inside the pyramid and started to learn how to breathe correctly and used
meditation to help her to relax. Slowly, Shirley learned to relax while
inside the pyramid, and to control her breathing. She visualized the healing
energy coming from the pyramid and eventually was able to see energy coming
down the sides of the pyramid. After a few months she was able to totally
relax and go into deep meditation and continue her healing process. This
gave Shirley the confidence to practice at home when tension and headaches
threatened. She was able to immediately start slowing her breathing and
taking the tension out of her shoulders.
Shirley
gradually reduced the amount of sleeping pills she was taking and eventually
stopped taking them altogether. She now sleeps naturally each night. Her
migraine pattern has also changed. She rarely feels the onset of an attack.
But as soon as the first signs of flashing lights and jazzy patterns before
the eyes appears, she lays down for half an hour, goes into her breathing
and relaxation, and the bad headache never comes. She is a brighter, calmer
and much happier person. She feels in control of her life and gets on with
it. So much so, that after 19 months of working in the pyramid, she was able
in August 2001 to make the decision to stop using it and continues to work
on her own. Four months after completing her treatment, she only rarely gets
the threat of a migraine, which never gets to a full-blown headache and is
still sleeping naturally.
Finally,
do modern Shapes and Designs have properties?
The
picture in figure 8 is of a Crop-Circle at Windmill Hill, Wiltshire
discovered in 18 June 2000, which has a remarkable similarity to the two
dimensional pyramid design in figure 2. This healing tool was developed 2
years earlier in 1998 and was an extract from a book published in 1987. Does
this co-incidence have any meaning?
