Nigerians have been urged to patronise energy medicine.
According to the pioneer energy therapy (ET) practitioner in Nigeria, Chief Iwowarri James, energy therapy, which is also known as energy medicine or energy psychology offers various treatment’s options.
He said the name was coined in the late 80s by some clinical psychologists, and energy healers, adding: “In the late 1990s, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is the official arm of health policy and implementation in the United States defined areas within Complementary and Alternative Medicine through five subdivisions.
They are: mind–body medicine, biologically-based practices, energy medicine, manipulative and body-based practices, and whole medical systems.
ET, he said, is the third leg of medicine in what is now known as integrative medicine, which combines orthodox medicine practice with natural medicinal practice comprising herbal and energy medicine.
Moreover, energy medicine recognises that everybody is all energy and that our energy field gets clogged with all kinds of negative energy which man generates through emotional outbursts, environmental fields, electromagnetic waves, food we eat and the things we drink.
The clogging, he said, affects people’s physical and emotional conditions which cause them to become diseased. “We need to clear the energy blockages resulting from the above so that we can be free and healthy, hence Energy Therapy,” he said.
James said energy medicine is an age-old healing modality. Explaining further, he said it started over 5000 years ago in China and has been active in Indian cultures for over 3000 years. It is currently about 40 years in the US and 30 years in the United Kingdom and other European countries.
“In Africa, energy therapy is as old as the Continent but because of lack of documentation in traditional African settings, its use was not documented. So we can say it is science of healing, which I now pioneer, it is just about nine years old in Nigeria. I started it in 2005.
Energy therapy is recognised by the National Health Institute of America under its National Centre for Complementary and Integrative Medicine, as a major form of complementary and alternative medicine. Energy therapy is now making inroad into conventional health service provision as a credible alternative and complementary medical knowledge that is vital and supportive of healing and wellbeing. It has been found useful in human behaviour modifications and therefore complements and even replaces active models in this aspect of human resources development strategy. We are delighted to be the champions of this process that supports people in changing and upgrading their lifestyle through the elimination of burdensome thoughts and negative emotions, a veritable step in total physical and emotional healing journey. Naturopathy is a form of energy medicine even because it recognised the element of vibration in the process of restoration of the human system, though it was recognised earlier than the various other components which have become more efficacious in clinical practice such as Tapping.
James said he introduced ET into Nigeria about eight years ago.
The reason why it is not so popular, he said, was because his inability to raise awareness on the profession. “The efforts so far have been one man’s effort,” he noted.
Besides, I am seeking support from the Federal Government, corporate organisations and individuals to promote it.
He said ET ensures speedy healing, adding that it handles very wide scope of diseases. “It is a major tool in trauma healing and helps in behaviour modification. More importantly is the fact that it is drugless,” he said.
He further said that ET involved meetings between the client and the therapist.
“The therapists has the knowledge of ET, the skill required to dig into the problems, the cause, and how to support the client achieve freedom. The energy therapist must be able to do exploratory diagnosis, know how to tap, understand how to achieve chakra health and in securing clean aura.
“It is also in overcoming psychological reversals, which prevent people from healing at all levels. Energy Therapy helps the client to remove energy blockages, bring about energetic balance and support the individual to achieve total integration at body, mind, and spirit level.
He said there are products and machines that can be used to enhance clients energy system. They are Resonance Tuner Card, Tesla Energy Lights, Young Living Essential Oils, Magnetic Bands.
The products, he said, can be used to enhance energy level, dissolve negative energies and build immune system of people.
The GIET Institute provides training in the use of these materials which any user must first evaluate energetically to be sure that their frequencies match theirs before use.
He said treatment is affordable, adding that his Centre for Energy Healing Awareness in Lagos and Port Harcourt are the only centres in Nigeria.
The other option is to go abroad where my colleagues provide similar service. However, going to the US or the United Kingdom will entail airfare, hotel bills, and associated expences. So doing it in Nigeria will obviously be cheaper even if it is a little pricey.
James said there are plans in the pipelines to train at the GIET Institute.
He said the practice has a bright future in Nigeria. This is because the world is moving steadily towards drugless therapies. “Energy Therapy is very well positioned to support Nigerians in their journey to total health and well-being without over reliance on drugs.
“We need energy healings in schools, government, hospitals, organisations, businesses, sports and politics, among others. Just as we need energy therapists in these areas.
He said ET does not cure any ailment rather it helps to eliminate negative energies in the human energy system.
“Negative energies come from or are caused by issues such as anger, grief, worry, anxiety, fears and phobias, very bad feelings from emotional traumas resulting from rape, war, accidents, loss of relations, loss of jobs, loss of positions, and many more.
“Research has also shown that some ailments of organ failures or organ discomforts start with these negative emotions,” James said.
