Emotional Energetic Healing: The Future of Medicine is Here 5th June 2015 By Carolanne Wright Contributing Writer for Wake Up World “Everything is energy.” ~ Albert Einstein Energy medicine is at once time-honored and new. According to Dr. What the ancients recognized, science is now validating. How emotions affect physiology “Most psychologists treat the mind as disembodied, a phenomenon with little or no connection to the physical body. In Dr. Paul Trachtman explains how this sequence works in Smithsonian Magazine: “… it’s through the emotion-modulating peptides that an embarrassing thought can cause blood vessels to dilate and turn a face beet red. The question is: If emotions alter the functioning of the body, how do we experience healing by addressing subconscious negative emotional patterns? This is the topic of a cutting-edge documentary on Mind-Body Medicine: E-Motion. The energy of emotions Leaders in the field of energetic medicine — including Sonia Choquette, Dr. How are these negative perceptions created? Dr. He also points out:

Foliegubbar De här foliegubbarna var riktigt roliga att göra. Med relativt enkla medel kan man få till figurer som kan vara utgångspunkt till diskussioner i många olika riktningar. När man gör gubbarna är det lätt att tankarna går till Giacomettis verk. Hans verk kan vara en utgångspunkt för arbetet. Själva "skulpterandet" - att skapa och få fram olika uttryck kan vara ett annat. Att studera skuggor kan vara ett mål i sig. Gubbarna gör man i helt vanlig aluminiumfolie. Armarna sätts fast genom att en remsa av folie surras ett varv runt kroppen: När man sedan har stommen är det bara att bygga på med folie och forma gubben på det sätt man vill. Sedan är det dags för skuggan. Ett annat alternativ (som jag gjort på gubben med blått papper) är att låta skuggan falla på ett svart papper.

Reïki Busor! En trevlig liten bilduppgift som passar liten som stor. Från början skall eleverna inte veta vad det skall bli utan får i uppgift att göra ett antal färgpluttar på ett papper. När färgen torkat ger man dem var sin penna - helst en tunn svart penna, men det går med blyerts också. Såhär la jag upp min lektion i åk 4: Tillfälle 1: Eleverna får i uppgift att göra 12 tumavtryck på ett ritpapper. Tillfälle 2: Jag ritar ett stort tumavtryck på tavlan. Elevernas förslag lät inte vänta på sig. Vi gjorde också en lycklig busa tillsammans, innan de själva fick göra sina tumavtryck till busor. Det blev livliga diskussioner runt borden. Lektionen avrundades med en diskussion om att ge uttryck och karaktär åt ett tumavtryck.
