The Einsteinian Vision

The vision of Albert Einstein and the results of experimentations by quantum physicists point to the fact the only energy exists and that matter is what our senses perceive when energy vibrates at an extremely low frequency. Matter and energy are the same in their essence. They only differ in their physical characteristics and their manifestations — just as ice, water, and vapor have the same chemical formulation in spite of their very different appearances. These modern findings support the premise of all energy medicines:

the body is not just matter (solids and liquids) but also, and maybe mostly, energy — vital energy.

There are many forms of energy. Some can be seen. Some can be heard. Some can be measured only with sophisticated scientific equipment. And some can only be surmised because of their effects — since we do not have, as of yet, the equipment or the knowledge to measure them and therefore to prove them objectively. Yet this is true of many things that today are accepted because of the availability of evermore sophisticated equipment but that were speculative only yesterday.

In the meantime, energy medicines, with their long-standing traditions rooted not only in Asia and India but also in ancient Greece and Egypt, have operated on the basis that the body is matter and vital energy, a life force in all living entities.

Benedict Lust, Founder of Naturopathy

Energy medicines have been a source of inspiration for many contemporary practitioners on all continents, yet, until not long ago, energy-oriented practitioners in the U.S. were often ridiculed and generally marginalized. We must be thankful to the luminaries who persevered and were able to preserve and enhance this essential knowledge increasingly recognized for the depth of its wisdom and the simplicity of its precepts. All of them were driven by the conviction that just as humans are subjected to the actions of others as well as of the environment, nothing within our bodies occurs in isolation.
