Magnet Therapy
How does it work?
Magnet Therapy is
one of natures most powerful alternative, non-toxic healing techniques. It
can be dated back to the Egyptians, the Chinese and many Far Eastern countries.
Ancient texts described how magnets were used for therapeutic healing qualities.
In ancient Vedic religious scriptures of India there are references that seem to
indicate that magnets were used over 5,000 years ago to treat diseases. It
is thought that Cleopatra wore magnets to retain her youth, beauty and her
health. Philosophers such as Aristotle and Plato talked about the
therapeutic healing properties of magnets. Doctors in the Middle Ages used
magnets to draw dis-ease out of the body.
Magnet Therapy
appears to work on a cellular level by enhancing the body's cells. The
energy within us forms part of the electromagnetic field of which we are made
up. Without a magnetic field we would soon fall ill and thus lose our
balance because disease or illness would set in.
The planet Earth is
one huge magnet. The Earth has a North and South Pole and as the Earth
spins it creates a magnetic field around it of both polarities (negative and
positive). Electrons (magnetic energy) from the North Pole spin left
(anti-clockwise) generating negative magnetic energy, whilst electrons from the
South Pole spin right (clockwise) generating positive magnetic energy.
The
polarities form a natural balance of positive and negative charges of energy.
The South Pole is positive in frequency and the North Pole is negative in
frequency. The same thing is true of the human body.
We have energy
centres down the central part of our body known as chakras. In sanskrit
the word chakra means 'spinning wheel'.
These chakras are
spinning wheels of energy flowing through our bodies. We have a North and
South element to each of these chakras with the energy flowing into and out of
our bodies. Our crown chakra faces upwards (North) and our base chakra
faces downwards (South).
Therefore, our body
is a miniature version of our mother planet earth. The same thing occurs with
magnets. There are two sides to a magnet - north which generates negative
magnetic energy and south which generates positive magnetic energy.
The North side is renowned for it's relaxing properties and the South side is
renowned for it's stimulating properties. Not all magnets have a north and south
facing side. There are magnets known as bi-polar magnets which have positive and
negative magnetic energy on the same side. Bi-polar magnets are usually
used in industry or for fridge-magnets rather than for alternative healing.
The Earth's natural
electromagnetic field has been diminishing over the last few hundred years, and
apart form industrial chemical pollution, one of the many reasons for this could
be linked to modern man having introduced his own form of energy that has
contributed largely to an effect on the Earth's natural electromagnetic energy.
This energy is called 'electricity'. Electricity increases the positive
magnetic energy which can have an effect on our electromagnetic field in the
same way as the Earth's by making it weak and vulnerable. If we are
exposed to too much electricity for too long (or in fact any pollution) we can
lose our natural electromagnetic balance and become weak.
When our
electromagnetic field is weak it can reduce cell growth which is important to
our immune system as well as our nervous system. Nervous stress can kill
hormones that are vital to our immune system.
So many people are now
suffering from chronic fatigue related illnesses and immune system disorders,
such as ME and Fybromyalgia to name a few.
The use of magnets around the body, when combined with sound frequencies as
used in my practice, can have a magnificent healing effect on the body. Our
cells are vibrating and multiplying every second. If cells are unbalanced or
sick, they multiply in this state causing even more imbalance and dis-harmony (dis-ease).
When you introduce the perfect pitch of sound, any imbalanced sound frequency
has to leave and make way for the perfect pitch. This returns our vibratory
rate to the correct frequency. Using magnets alongside Sound Therapy,
replenishes our energy field known as our aura, our electro magnetic energy
field.
How often do you feel healed and/or relaxed from listening to certain types of
relaxation music. Music is good for the soul. When we apply it with magnetic
therapy it becomes very Powerful!
