About twenty years ago I became interested in energy healing and wanted to know more about it.  My research led me to a whole new world which facinated me. I took part in every available course, hungry for knowledge which was scarce at that time.  Coming up to the millennium I started to write a book which offered basic information to anyone interested in what was then termed the ‘New Age’.  I never got round to publishing the book  so I am taking the opportunity to put this information out via a series of blogs.  There is nothing new about the ‘New Age’, just old wisdom that is once again surfacing.  This blog offers an explanation for what was once a mysterious activity but has become a way of life – energy healing.

Underpinning all energy healing is the concept of the universal life force, a vital force or energy that transcends time and space; permeates all things in the universe, and upon which all things depend for health and life. The existence of the universal life force has been acknowledged universally since ancient times, and it is known by many different names.  The Hindus call it prana, the Polynesians and Hawaiins mana, the Chinese qi  and the Japanese ki.  Hippocrates called it the Vis Medicatrix Naturae  and Galen called it the pneuma.  It was called the astral light  by the Kabbalists, magnetic fluid  by Mesmer and Wilhelm Reich termed it orgone energy.  More recently it has been referred to as bioenergy.  Regardless of what it is called the characteristics of the universal life force are common.  In various systems it can be controlled and manipulated for improved health, longevity, healing or supernormal physical feats.
