Dr. Doom vs. Energy Healing
What Doctors don't understand about Energy Healing

by Carole Provenzale

I call him Dr. Doom. He's my neurologist and every time I go to see him I dread it for weeks before; and I used to leave his office completely depressed. Mind you, I don't call him that to his name and I do think his intentions are truly to help people although it appears only if he can help them the way HE thinks they should be helped. His prognosis for me did not include getting well. And the methods he wanted to use to "help" me were invasive and irreversible. Clearly, not for me but, as he said, I had no options.

Wait a minute, I thought. Slow down. I WORK with Energy, the power of Intention, I count by blessings and I can help myself; working in wholistic health for so long and being a part of the wonderful but impossible cures I have seen, I can certainly heal on my own with other forms of healing that are not invasive or harmful. I have a lot of respect for the medical profession, please don't get me wrong. I just don't think they always know what's best for you. And they sometimes seem rather let down when you are healing on your own, without listening to their recommendations or taking their advice. Since most of my clients are fully aware of the power of the Energy we all run on, we are more inclined to seek an Energy Healer then turn to some of the medications prescribed, that are often accompanied by terrible, irreversible side effects. We have come to understand the power of the Mind, Our Intentions, Our Thoughts and the Laws of Attraction. Can we actually think ourselves WELL? Not according to Dr. Doom, although I have seen it more times in my life then I myself can believe.

Natural forms of healing like Chinese Herbs, Acupuncture, Amma Therapy, Energy "Treatments" by someone qualified to give you the insights into why you got yourself sick to begin with all have the ability to make you well again. Just as we created out illness, so we can create our own
healing.

How? It's not that difficult if you can keep a positive attitude, count your blessings and actually visualize yourself well. We are creating our futures by what we send out and we can heal ourselves. This is a new theory to some but I have been aware of the Power of Intention for a very long time. It's one of the very first things you learn in Feng Shui Studies, it is not so much the actual changes you are making as it is the Intention as to WHY you are making them. And it makes sense to me; perfect sense.

Our surroundings have a deep and profound impact on every area of our lives and that includes our Health as well; if you're facing Health issues or someone in your family is, look to the center of your home. Do you have clutter or dirt or perhaps a picture that doesn't represent joy or good feelings? Feng Shui was perhaps a step ahead and I couldn't be more grateful to have learned this ancient art when I did. I have been fortunate enough to live a "Feng Shui Life" for a decade now and have found it to be one of blessings, love and joy. And yes, challenges; ones that I have been able to overcome.

Except to dear old Dr. Doom. I am not listening to him and really, who am I not to follow a doctor's advice? Particularly one that was rated as one of the Five Best Specialists in the state? Worse, I am not progressing in my "dis-ease" and further, he has somehow refused to make the acknowledgement that somehow, someway I have been healing. I can't help but wonder how long he will be able to say that; after all, my test results are much improved and I am much improved.

My clients often ask and have much more of an interest in different methods of natural healing then ever before. And I tell them my story, not to deter any physician's advice but to give them another perspective on ways to look at healing. After all, that's exactly what Feng Shui is all about, a new perspective to see how your surroundings are affecting you and your life. Sometimes it still seems like magic, but it sure does work!

I have done a lot of intense work on myself in the last year including my thoughts and intentions of what I "send" out there. I have worked hard to discover things about myself that I had not realized, learned different applications of healing and how to use my instincts to realize the best ones for myself. I have also explored actually learning to help and heal others in their transformations so they will have positive results as well.

And the result of my visit to Dr. Doom? Well, I'm going to have to change his name; when I walked into his office, I'm not sure what he was expecting, but it wasn't ME as I am now. His draw dropped to the floor (well, almost) and he blurted out "you look wonderful"! Clearly not what I was expecting to hear nor him to see. After reviewing my notes over and over again, he shook his head; no scientific reason to be found here on this healing he had encountered. I'm not quite sure yet, but I think the Doctor is rethinking things, especially about Energy and the power of the mind in healing. Perhaps we can start to help heal ourselves and just maybe we can rename all the Doctor "Dooms" of the world into Doctors that will believe, participate and encourage us in our own methods of healthcare and natural healing---one doctor at a time.
