Integrated Energy Medicine is a delicate balance of the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual states. Whenever one of these states is out of balance with the others, a person's overall system becomes imbalanced. This can result in severe emotional and psychological states such as depression, eating disorders, and addiction, as well as physical illnesses ranging from cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, and chronic fatigue, to name just a few. Energetic imbalance can also manifest subtly in the form of mood fluctuations, headaches, and other less serious issues.

For thousands of years, many cultures, tribes, and societies have recognized that there are complex energy systems within the body. When maintained properly, these energetic systems contribute to the overall health and well-being of an individual. Also common to these cultures is the idea that there is a subtle energy body or animating force in each of us. This animating force is called chi in Chinese medicine, prana in India, ki in Japan, mana in the Huna tradition of Hawaii, and the soul in many spiritual traditions of western civilization.

Interestingly, science is now closer than ever to lending support to these ancient claims. Einstein's Theory of Relativity showed that matter is made up of energy packets called quanta. He essentially proved that energy underlies everything in the universe and he set into motion a serious study of energy, which continues to evolve today.

What energy is and where it comes from is still a mystery. However, the study of energy in physics for the past century has helped usher into our society a new understanding of energy and how it operates in the universe. This has paved the way for the combining of intuitive and scientific methods of healing and the merging of eastern healing techniques, and western medicine. These new combinations are creating innovative and highly effective ways of healing the body and mind.
