Energy Medicine Principles for Parents
Body as Energy, Innate Intelligence, New Paradigm
Aug 3, 2009
Dr. Peter Hanfileti’s Energy Medicine Principles for Parents: A Pediatrician’s Perspective on How Energy Medicine Can Help Your Child (2009) is a breath of fresh air in the field of medicine. Written by a Pediatrician also trained in Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and the Body Talk System, this book is a much needed guide for parents and medical practitioners who find conventional medicine insufficient in its tenets and practice for whole person healing.
Conventional medicine, pursuing a single track through the visible world of atoms and molecules, has neglected the inner world of wave momentum and field communication, both new discoveries in science that confirm the body’s reality as an energy being.
Body as Energy
The body as energy means that physical events can trigger electromagnetic responses in the body, generating a unique setting of energy imprints in the child. These energy connections between events and body are independent of time and space. Events that happened years ago can still be manifesting influences on the child. So can the energetic connections the child has with his parents even though they may be miles apart.
According to Dr. Hanfileti, this energy connection functions like a two-way street. Parents can pick up on their child’s energy changes throughout the day in the same way their child picks up on the parents’ energy fluctuations, their stresses and fears. That is why he recommends that parents become conscious of their own thoughts, especially the way their own history and energy imprints can affect their child’s behavior.
Innate Intelligence
Since each body has a unique setting of energy imprints, the best treatment is one that resonates with its uniqueness. Dr. Hanfileti’s understanding of the body as an energy matrix allows him to view the child, first of all, as an individual and secondly, as a partner in treatment. To this end, his treatment encompasses a range of options – acupuncture, essential oils, Chinese Medicine, Body Talk System – that resonate with the child’s energy setting in order to activate his body’s healing intelligence.
According to the doctor, energy systems, like the child’s nervous system, operate “with an intelligence that seeks to learn and understand” before it can”move on to the next level.” Adults, in many cases, “just have to get out of the way and allow the natural process to take its course.”
One way to acquiesce to this natural process is through Body Talk, a bodywork technique that recognizes the function of the BodyMind Complex. In its natural, healthy state, the BodyMind Complex works like a holistic community with cells and systems communicating with each other in a fluent and coherent manner. Stress, however, can jeopardize this conversation.
Through a system of body tapping and biofeedback, the child learns to re-balance the brain and restore this communication to its coherent state.
New Paradigm
Most conventionally trained physicians are skeptical of the “energy dynamics” that impact the human body. This situation has to change. The body as energy functioning with its own intelligence is a new paradigm conventional medicine must embrace if it is to evolve into the medicine of the 21st century.
Energy Medicine Principles for Parents is a “must read” for parents and guardians. Timely and well-written, it provides a highly readable and coherent account of Dr. Hanfileti’s own evolution from a conventional pediatrician to one who has opened his medical repertoire to a new reality - one that acknowledges the science of energy medicine.
