Boost Your Immune System
Healing From Illness and Injury Through
Energy Healing And The Mind-Body Connection
You can boost your immune system, fight colds and flu, and heal more quickly from injuries through energy work, body-mind work and subtle-body-work techniques. Some of the techniques are easy to learn. I'll teach a few to you in the links below. Almost everyone has a home medicine chest or kit with over-the-counter remedies for common ailments. Energy and body-mind techniques will round out your resources to help yourself, your family, and your friends when a little boost is needed to prevent, heal, or recover from injuries and illness.
© Sebastian Kaulitzki | Dreamstime.comThe immune system is a highly complex network of specialized cells and organs that defend the body against "foreign" invaders. When working properly it fights off infections by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. If it malfunctions, however, it can cause disease, including allergies, arthritis, cancer and AIDS.

The direct connections among our thoughts, our emotions and our immune system have been well documented by science. What we think and what we tell ourselves can either support or undermine our health. Because the immune system is so sensitive to thoughts, emotions, and subtle energies, energy healing can be an extremely useful tool in supporting wellness, fighting illnesses and speeding healing.
An Energetic Perspective on Illness and Injury
From an energetic perspective, illness and injury start from a
disturbance in your personal energy field. For example, I have had the
experience of receiving an emotional wound, feeling my field rupture,
and then feeling an all-too-familiar illness - pneumonia -- enter my
field. A healthy, intact energy field is thus the first line of defense. Just as with the physical body, prevention is preferable to having to treat a problem once it starts.
A second line of defense is using energy work to heal the illness by returning the energy field to a state of balance, harmony and integrity. (Of course, if you have a serious illness, you should always see a medical doctor, too, as I did with the pneumonia.)
Energy Healing and Mind Body Techniques To Boost Your Immune System
Here are some easy-to-learn things that you can do for yourself to

However, please do seek the care of a qualified medical practitioner if you have anything beyond a minor illness such as a cold. Illnesses such as pneumonia can be life-threatening, as can some skin infections, and many other illnesses that can start out with mild symptoms. If you’re not sure whether an illness is "serious" or not, please err on the side of caution, and call your doctor! If you're waffling about whether to get medical advice, ask your spouse, partner, or good friend. They often have a clearer perspective than we do for ourselves, especially if we're ailing.
