Vibrational medicine or often called Energy medicine is a fascinating area of study and practice. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (formally NCCAM) once defined Energy Medicine as a field within complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) that deals with energy fields. There were two types of energy medicine described. The first is veritable which is measurable, and the other is putative (aka biofields), which have resisted measurement by scientific methods…for now…

Veritable energies, those that can be measured, use mechanical vibrations (such as sound) and electromagnetic forces, including visible light, magnetism, monochromatic radiation (such as laser beams), and rays from other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. They involve the use of specific, measurable wavelengths and frequencies to bring balance and harmony to the client.

Putative energy or biofields involve therapies that use energy fields from plants, animals, minerals and humans. The theory is that all things are infused with a subtle form of energy, that is, everything vibrates at a certain frequency including rocks, crystals, microbes, plants, animals and of course humans. Everything is in essence, energy, and contains a vital energy or life force. Many cultures have a name for this vital life force. In Chinese medicine it is called Qi, in Japanese medicine it is called Ki, and in the Ayurvedic system of healing this energy is known as Prana. This vital energy is said to regulate a person’s health and these systems are based on the concept that illness and disease result from the disruption in the flow of the vital life force.

Entire medical systems have been developed to work with balancing vital energy. A few examples of these systems are, traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Tibetan medicine. Many of these systems use herbs, pulse diagnosis, and meditation to restore health and balance the vital energy of the body. Other therapies that work with subtle energy fields and can bring about healing using their own vibrations are flower therapy and flower essences, phytotherapies, homeopathy resonance, crystal healing, Qi Gong and Reiki (see my page on Reiki for more information). Practitioners trained in these medical systems and therapies are able to work with the subtle energy fields and can often see them and/or feel the energies in order to effect changes in the physical body and thus influence balance and harmony.

Often you’ll hear energy workers speak of resonance and vibration.
Sound resonance of plucked strings work on the principle that like attracts like. When the C string of piano is struck, all the other octave strings of C begin to vibrate. When the C string of a harp is struck, all the C strings of all other harps nearby begin to vibrate. The C strings are in resonance with one another. The different parts of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual being resonante to various frequencies of vibration of sound waves, light waves, or the gifts of nature like the different vibrations of crystals and flowers. Think of how you resonate with different people and even ideas, when you resonate with something you are in vibrational alignment with it.

Vibrational energy therapies gently invite stuck energy to move or vibrate again, or over-stimulated energy to explore more stillness. Over time, the system finds balance between the two by being able to move through the entire range of possibilities dynamically, fluidly and easily. Vibrational energy therapies create healthy resonant patterns using frequency and vibration with specific energy pathways in order to create balance, health and wellness.
