I have little doubt that Neurological disorders like, Parkinson’s disease, may manifest emotionally, possibly triggered by a physical or chemical jolt to the body. The body’s electrical circuitry gets scrambled and disconnects with the circuitry of the mind. If you think of the whole human body as if it were a battery that holds a charge, you are dealing with a complex and sometimes fragile network of functions that are all reliant on the body’s ability to send out current where it is needed. When the current is weak or broken, problems arise.
“Burnout” is a familiar term that applies to both body and electricity. When stress, work, lack of sleep, improper diet, depression, and all the other invasions of modern day society pile up, the body along with the mind will shut down. Some of us are wired differently probably through genetics and are capable of repelling some of these outside forces, thus evading illness and remaining healthy.
If the body is an energy center in itself and it gets depleted from outside, it only makes sense that the answer to getting the body back in synch is to recharge it. For thousands of years Eastern medicine has proven that energy work and spiritual practices have real world medical benefit. Only through therapies like Reiki, Qigong, Acupuncture, Yoga, and Meditation can you replenish what is lost.
One of the great mysteries of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is why it works? As a therapeutic tool, DBS is a brain surgery discovered to work by accident. No one knows exactly how it works or why but the electrical signals generated from batteries implanted in the chest sent through wires implanted in the brain disrupt certain signals going to the brain. This proves that we are one big power plant that needs maintaining.
Energy work is mostly free and painless. Time, some dedication, commitment, and some self exploration may be needed to educate yourself about what works best for your specific symptoms. As unconventional and new agey as energy work may seem to some of you, I ask this: What do you have to lose in trying one or more of these therapies? Even more so , what do you have to gain?
As overused as the metaphor of the body being compared to an onion is, if you imagine the moments of our lives, both good and bad, constructing our thoughts, emotions, and overall makeup, we are what feel, see, eat, breathe, think, hear, and drink. Delving into the onion and locating the parts that need changing can be challenging and take some time.
 There is as much understanding of why energy work makes a difference as DBS , the only difference is that the energy work doesn’t require drilling in the skull or implanting batteries in the body. DBS is brain surgery and can cost as much as a small house. It would make sense to me that before one resorts to the option of implanting hardware in the body that he or she seeks the less invasive option first. That’s just my opinion.
