SYSTEMS
There are over 80 different kinds of massage. Therapies for the elimination of dis-ease abound. Cures are the oldest formulations of man.
During the evolution of society healers realized that remedies could be bottled and sold for profit. Potions and practices that fall outside of this medium have fallen into disrepute — not because they are ineffective, but because they can be created and applied by the patient at almost no cost. The modern attitude is that the more expensive a “cure” is, the better it works.
Christ was a great healer who said, “Go and sin no more.” Does this mean that sin causes illness? What constitutes sin? Edgar Cayce proscribed many unusual cures in his trance state. What is the reason that most of them worked? Why would a cancer be cured with prayer and a fever controlled with an herb? The answer is that every human body is made of different aspects of Body, Mind and Spirit. Some patients are stronger. Some are more intuitive and suggestible. Some are resistant and angry. What works for one, may not work for all.
Many individuals are starting to seek natural remedies when it comes to various health complications, issues, and concerns. Many believe that the dangerous components of over-the-counter and prescription medications can actually prove to be a detriment on the health of a person. The good news is, there are a number of natural remedies that one may partake in so that they may optimize their health. Many remedies do not require medications.
You are free to choose your own method for your healing.
Jews believe that speaking the Word of God is a prerequisite to healing. They believe God never abandons them, even in sin. Jewish healing is rooted in theology and history.
According to rabbinic lore, there was no aging process until Abraham and no disease until Jacob (Babylonian Talmud [BT] Sanhedrin 107b). According to legend, death came instantly through a sneeze, returning to God the “breath of life” breathed in through the nostrils at creation (Genesis 2:7). This is the origin of responding with expressions meaning “To your health!” when someone sneezes.

Many individuals are starting to seek natural remedies when it comes to various health complications, issues, and concerns. Many believe that the dangerous components of over the counter and prescription medications can actually prove to be a detriment on the health of a person. The good news is, there are a number of natural remedies that one may apply to optimize his health. Listed throughout this guide on Remedies that do not require medications, you will find a wide selection of ideas that can be implemented in order to maintain and optimize the healthy lifestyle.

Light therapy is another type of natural remedy that can prove to be extremely beneficial when it comes to the overall health of a person who may be suffering from a medical complication, and/or disease. Individuals who have fibromyalgia, for example, benefit from light therapy in order to increase and optimize the production of Melatonin in the body. This element is necessary when it comes to regulating the sleep cycle.
The application of Red Light to skin or products that turn UV light into Red Light is credited with producing cholagen that prevents wrinkles. This unorthodox treatment is not an herbal or alternate remedy by a cosmetic system.
Aromatherapy is another type of natural remedy that many find success with. Basically, this type of remedy makes use of natural and essential oils in order to produce a certain state of mind. Once this is achieved, it is believed that one will successfully recover and be able to cope with health problems that plague them.
Believe it or not, simple Exercise has been found to be an exception when it comes to optimizing the health of a person. Simple stretching, for example, can increase the amount of oxygen that is introduced to the components of the body. In turn, this increasing cell production and assists in creating a natural boost to the immune system. If you want to be healthy, get out and talk a walk or job, do some stretching exercises, or just take a swim!
Mediation has been used throughout all of history in order to experience a higher state of mind, as well as higher state of optimal health. If you are looking for a simple, low stress method of coping with health complications that may be experienced, mediation may be just the thing that you are looking for!
Many individuals implement the use of music as a form of natural remedy for their health issues.

If you are looking for a creative way to utilize your resources and make the most of your physical well-being, you are sure to enjoy the benefits associated with therapy that is induced as a direct result of using various types of music.
A combination of prayer, chanting and dance is used in many Chinese healing systems. Instructions for this are found in the books of Dr. Zhi Gang Sha.

What is Pranic Healing?
Pranic Healing® is a highly advanced and tested system of energy-based healing techniques created for the world by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui (GMCKS). This healing technology utilizes “Prana” to harmonize the body’s chakras and energy processes. “Prana” is a Sanskrit word that means, “life-force.” In China, this subtle energy is known is “Chi”, in Japan “Ki” and in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, it is called “Ruah” or the “Breath of Life.” Pranic Healing is a simple, powerful and effective no-touch healing system.
Diseases first appear as energetic disruptions before manifesting as illnesses in the physical and psychological body. Pranic Healing adjusts the bio-electromagnetic field known as the aura, which contains the mold or blueprint of the physical and psychological body. Our bodies possess innate healing abilities, and Pranic Healing accelerates this healing process by the cleansing of “diseased” energy and transferring of new and vital energy. Pranic Healing uses natural life-force to bring about a healthier physical and psychological body.
Pranic Healing scientifically utilizes prana or life-force to heal physical and emotional imbalances. Pranic Healing requires no drugs, devices or physical contact with the subject. No physical contact is required because the practitioner is working on the bioplasmic or energy body and not directly on the physical body. The bioplasmic body, also known as the aura, is what clairvoyants “see” as the luminous energy field surrounding the visible physical body. Pranic Healing’s effectiveness relies on the intimate connection between the physical body and the bioplasmic body. When the bioplasmic body is balanced, it creates a new and healthy pattern for the physical body to follow. Pranic Healing promotes the physical body’s innate ability to restore itself to a healthy condition. It does NOT replace traditional orthodox medicine, but complements and enhances it.
Pranic Healing is currently being taught to medical professionals, massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, clergy, homemakers, and to those, like you, with a sincere desire to heal yourself and loved ones. It allows YOU to heal yourself and others safely, confidently and consistently in a short period of time. Pranic Healing is easy to learn, requires no “special gifts or talents” and is safe for the healer and the person (or animal) applied to. At the heart Pranic Healing’s simplicity is a super sophisticated technology that is, without a doubt, one of the best, if not the best, alternative healing arts for physical and psychological well being.
The Fundamental Principles and Benefits of Pranic Healing are:
CLEANSING: Remove the diseased energies from the affected energy centers and organs. Healing is promoted or can occur more rapidly if the diseased energy is removed from the bioplasmic body. The physical body can focus its energy on healing.
ENERGIZING: Transmit new and vital energy to the body. Pranic Healing teaches how to effectively and safely transmit energy to the subject, without the loss of one’s own energy. More importantly, the subject receives energy that is not “contaminated” by the healer.
DECONTAMINATION: Many healers get tired or ill because their life-force (Prana) gets drained or contaminated by their subjects. Absorption of diseased energies occurs on the physical level, etheric, astral, mental and spiritual levels. Through diligent observance of Pranic Healing hygiene, the healer’s health is preserved. Pranic Healing hygienic techniques are particularly important for healers who touch their patients, such as chiropractors, massage therapists, hands-on-healers, dentists, medical doctors and nurses.
APPLICATION OF ENERGY: Chakras are the energy centers of the physical and energetic bodies and provide power to the physical body by absorbing and processing Pranic energy. Grand Master Choa Kok Sui devoted many years of careful study and observation that was clairvoyantly validated to put together a comprehensive study of different illnesses and the corresponding energy centers that affect them. Each illness has repeatable and specific chakral conditions. Through correct cleaning and energizing of the affected chakras, consistent and effective results are produced.
*Disclaimer: The Pranic Healing® system is not meant to replace orthodox medicine, but merely to complement it. Pranic Healing® practitioners DO NOT physically touch the recipient’s body, diagnose diseases, prescribe any drugs/substances or make any health claims or promises.

Most doctors will tell you to get your vitamins from food. This is true, but vitamins and minerals can be specific adjusters of conditions caused by missing nutrients. Before you develop chronic conditions that conventional medicine overlooks, see a nutritional counselor for advice. Unlike medicines and chemistry I predict you will find talking with a nutritional specialist will make you confident to change your lifestyle.
Get Plenty of Sleep — We spend at least one-third of our lives in sleep. Eat lightly 3 hours before going to bed. Go to bed earlier and get up earlier. Take an afternoon power nap. Sleep on the best bedding you can buy. Wind down before going to bed with meditation, relaxation, stretching, prayer.
Keep a sleep journal of your dreams and write them down during the hypnogogic state — before you forget them.
Avoid Processed Foods — Yes, processed foods taste good and are quick to fix, but they are full of nitrates, nitrites, sodium, sugar, starch, cornstarch, fillers and dyes. Highly processed foods also have very little natural nutrition and are high in calories. This all adds up to poison for health conscious consumers. The list of processed foods includes: packaged dinners, pre-prepared meat products, sausage and weiners, cheese dishes, sauces, mixes, canned dinners, lunch meats, TV dinners, Pres-shaped burgers, flavored drinks and milk, kids’ cereals and many more items. Your top avoidance items list should be: fat, salt, sugar, tobacco, non-food chemicals,
Develop Good Daily Habits — Get up, get dressed, use skin moisturizer and sun-screen, brush your teeth, keep your body and hair clean, stop eating fattening snacks, do your chores, make your calls to friends and family, walk the dog, check your appointments, relax and plan your day around making time for yourself. Perhaps do some good deeds for others too.
Meditate and Learn to Relax — If you are very religious, you might not realize the importance of meditation because you rely on prayer. In prayer you offer your thanks and appreciation for blessing and perhaps go through a list of problems to solve and needs and desires your have for your life. You might even ask for forgiveness for your short-comings.
In meditation you are not the focus of your thoughts. Meditation takes your outside yourself by means of cleansing the mind of the issues of human life. Instead, you focus on no thoughts or nothing. The principle behind this is that by freeing your mind of stress and responsibilities you open the door for a higher force to enter and even take control of those sacred moments you spend alone with your concept of God.
This is called ‘centering’ and is invaluable to learn. You can study meditation techniques that assist you in staying centered in spirit before earthly problems have a chance to enter and disrupt your tranquility. Meditation and centering also let inspiration guide you to a life of better choices and enrichment.
Meditation does not replace prayer. It opens a new realm that offers positive guidance from a very high vibrational level. These vibrational states act as medicine for the mind and armor for the soul.
Techniques learned in meditation include: affirmation, reading, breath control, mind focus, imaging, synchronicity, atonement, staging, kundalini, astral projection, and other phenomena.
Feed Your Faith — Many situations in life are accepted on faith. The multiple faiths of the world offer ways on the path to the same goal ... Peace and love for all. A personal struggle may bring you closer to your faith that you could have imagined. In both Faith and Meditation the goals are the same.
Faith teaches us to see God in our daily life and to become aware of being closer to divine love. Choose your faith and make it a guiding light in your quests.
Stay In Touch with Friends and Family — My family never shared thoughts, beliefs, plans, or secrets with each other. When stress occurred we shattered into fragments that were not nearly as strong and the complete fabric of individuals when woven into a family unit.
We each felt that we could do better on our own. Mothers kept their children together and formed units of strength that operated away from family activities. My own mother, a leader and benefactor of all around her, had to struggle to survive with two daughters and still have a meaningful life of her own. One of her most outstanding features was her ability to make and keep friends throughout her life.

Before ending I would like to add that sometimes what you DON'T DO is as important as what you do. If you don't stay informed, do your due-diligence, question medicines and chemicals that are prescribed for you and investigate your health providers background -- then you may be asking for trouble. Your best health care expert is yourself!
A local doctor I would like to recommend is Dr. Stephen Hayman. His office is 820 W. New York Avenue, DeLand. email dochayman@yahoo.com or go to his website www.drstephenhayman.com Dr. Hayman is a retired Chiropractor who is also a nutrition counselor.
