For those of us who enjoyed the movie “What the bleep...”, knowing, feeling, and accepting the value of energy in our lives is a common thread we share. Others need to have the five senses validate things for belief to be possible.

Our bodies have two interesting energy systems: one is visible and one is invisible. The visible one is our nervous system. This system operates all the things that happen, from muscles moving to our heart beating and lungs breathing. This system comprises the brain, the spinal cord and all the nerves which branch out to our bodies' cells.

The invisible system is our accupunture meridians which the Chinese divide into twelve divisions relating to organs and two additional ones: the central and the governing. Even though we cannot “find” these meridians, the effects of stimulation with needles to the areas can be profound as it supports our health.

In the holistic field, homeopathy is an energy. The vibration of a substance (such as honey bee) is increased by succession (shaking or pounding) and dilution. The more a substance is treated in this manner, the more powerful the remedy. In fact, when it is diluted beyond Avogadro’s number, there is no more substance in the remedy and yet it is increasingly more powerful. This is why it is important to select the right dose for the condition being treated.

The latest energy modality to become available is nanotechnology. This is the imprinting of frequencies into diluted substances (amino acids at this time). When this is placed on the body in the form of little patches, it can increase the strength, endurance, and energy of the body. Even though nothing goes into the body, the body is responding to the frequency. We are literally tapping energy by activating the body’s own storehouse.

It is important that we support our body with healthy foods, periodic cleansing to keep our engines tuned, and now, ways to tap energy to be even more vibrant.
