Balancing energy and the mind
Psycho-neuro-energetics (PNE)
is the science of how the
workings of the mind affect the
energy balance and health of the
organs, and how your energy
status reflects on your
state-of-mind, emotions,
behaviour, character, and
health.
RECENTLY I received a letter
from a qigong and martial arts
exponent in New York, the united
States, who wanted to share his
experience with using qigong in
helping people with traumatic
brain injuries and fibromyalgia.
He reported much improvement in
these patients after using a
combination of integrated concepts
and techniques, including qigong,
which he found to be “very
helpful”.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is an intriguing
and complex syndrome, and
remains a medical enigma.
Symptoms include widespread
musculoskeletal aches, pain,
stiffness, soft tissue tenderness,
general fatigue, and sleep
disturbances. Severe migratory
pain and profound fatigue are the
two major problems that make FM
a mentally and physically
debilitating condition.
Doctors still don’t know why it
happens, though research has
revealed some clues. Most
researchers agree that it is a
disorder of the brain’s central
processing and the
neuro-endocrine/neuro-transmitter
regulatory systems.
While analgesics and other drugs
are used for treatment (in
conjunction with exercise and
physiotherapy), the lack of
successful, long-term results have
made complementary therapies
useful adjuncts in the overall care
of the sufferers.
The role of complementary
therapies in fibromyalgia probably
reflects the situation with many
other medical conditions where
modern medicine cannot offer
satisfactory treatments or cures.
Qigong and other energy-healing
methods should be tried more
often, especially since no
chemicals or needles are
involved.
Another medical enigma is chronic
fatigue syndrome (CFS), a
condition that is similar to FM and
continues to baffle doctors. While
pain is the dominant symptom of
FM, fatigue is the hallmark of
CFS. In practice, many physicians
do not distinguish the two.
CFS is diagnosed by three
criteria:
1. Severe chronic fatigue of six
months or longer duration with
other known medical conditions
excluded by clinical diagnosis;
2. Concurrently have four or more
of the following symptoms:
substantial impairment in
short-term memory or
concentration; sore throat; tender
lymph nodes; muscle pain;
multi-joint pain without swelling
or redness; headaches of a new
type, pattern or severity;
unrefreshing sleep; and
post-exertional malaise lasting
more than 24 hours;
3. The symptoms must have
persisted or recurred during six or
more consecutive months of
illness and must not have predated
the fatigue.
The cause of CFS remains
unknown, despite vigorous search.
Currently, it is believed that CFS
represents a common endpoint of
disease resulting from multiple
precipitating factors, including
infective agents, immune-defects,
neuro-endocrine imbalance, and
neuro-transmitter malfunction.
Like FM, symptoms vary
considerably over time, and
managing CFS can be as complex
as the illness itself. There is no
drug specific for CFS, and
definitely no cure. As such, even
the US government’s CDC (Center
for Disease Control) recommends
a combination of conventional and
alternative (complementary)
therapies!
You would have realised that
fatigue or severe lack of
energy/exhaustion are common
symptoms of both syndromes, and
that neuro-endocrine and
neuro-transmitter problems are
high on the suspicion list of both
(as causative or contributing
factors).
So today, I shall introduce
psycho-neuro-energetics (PNE) –
the science of the
inter-relationships of the mind, the
nervous system and the energies in
your body; how the workings of
your mind affect the energy
balance and health of your organs;
and conversely how your energy
status reflects on your
state-of-mind, emotions,
behaviour, character, and health.
In Mind Over Matter, (see
www.sperqigong.com) I had
explained about
neuro-endocrinology (NE) and
psycho-neuro-immunology (PNI).
Through the brain, the mind uses
neuro-transmitters and hormones
to influence and command cells
and organs, and thus no cell or
organ is free from the mind’s
control. The mind also uses energy
to influence all the cells and
organs, and also to influence
events beyond the body.
The mind, stress and disease
Mental stress is very much
underestimated as a cause of
ill-health. Many physical illnesses
have stress as the underlying
cause, or major contributing
factor. Cancer, heart disease,
hypertension, stroke and diabetes
are some of these. With better
understanding of the mind and how
it ultimately controls the functions
of the rest of the body, more and
more diseases and syndromes will
be blamed on mental stress.
Modern living and the adoption of
secular goals have made humans
so stress-prone. The abandoning
of spiritual values means
everybody is never satisfied with
what they have, and
profit-and-success-driven
mentality means everyone is
working harder to achieve more
and more, often at the expense of
other more important things in life,
and increasing stress.
When dealing with stress, my
advice has always been to change
mindsets, goals, values, and to be
more spiritual. And of course I
include qi-breathing and qigong
exercises as stress-busting
techniques as well.
Being spiritual does not just mean
being more religious (many
religious bigots and fanatics cause
everyone more stress by their
actions), but being wiser and more
godly. If the paramount attributes
of God are love, mercy and
compassion, then the spiritual
person will exude love, mercy and
compassion in his (or her)
personality. Such a person brings
peace to himself and to everyone
around him.
If you are religious and spiritual,
you are more likely to be more
understanding, tolerant and
compassionate, and your
relationships should last through
the most difficult crises.
Nowadays, couples with children
have to leave their kids under the
care of maids (or grandparents if
they are lucky) since both have to
work to cope with the
ever-spiralling cost of living.
Even if the children go to school
or college, they have little time
with their parents who are always
out at work or busy with their
many business or social meetings.
And when the parents do realise
this, they find out that their
children have become strangers
who don’t take their advice
anymore. They just don’t
understand one another. More
stress!
Healthcare is eating up the budget
of many countries (and
individuals) as the modern
stressful lifestyle contributes
heavily to diseases. This causes
more stress on the patient, family,
and employer. What is surely not
fully realised is the mental distress
borne by many of us who do not
yet have physical symptoms or
overt health problems.
The role of stress in causing
disease is now better understood,
especially with the emergence of
NE, PNI and psychosomatics. Dr
Ryke Geerd Hamer, a German
doctor, has brought this concept to
the extreme. After many years of
extensive research, he concluded
that most diseases, including
cancer, are brought about by
extreme stress or shock for which
we are totally unprepared for.
Twenty years ago, he had received
a call in the middle of the night.
His 17-year old son Dirk had been
shot while on holiday in the
Mediterranean. Three months
later, Dirk died and shortly after,
Dr Hamer, who had been healthy
all his life, but who was utterly
devastated by this catastrophe,
found he had testicular cancer.
Rather suspicious about this
coincidence, he set about doing
research on the personal histories
of cancer patients to see whether
they had suffered some shock,
distress or trauma before their
illness (for the full story, see
www.newmedicine.ca).
According to him, cancer is a
biological response to an unusual
situation, and when the “shock”
situation is resolved, the body sets
about returning to normality. Most
importantly, if we can in any way
be prepared for the stressful event,
we will not become ill.
His ideas were of course
controversial, and got him into
trouble with the medical
authorities. As a result, his license
to practise medicine was
withdrawn, and he has been in and
out of jail. Dr Hamer believes
very strongly that the present
methods of dealing with cancer
are barbarous, cruel and
completely unnecessary. This
opinion does not make him many
friends among his colleagues.
I am relating this story to highlight
the thousands of cases he
researched that showed the very
strong connection between stress
and cancer.
Even if we reject his conclusion,
we cannot reject this fact that there
is a strong correlation between the
two. And since stress is a
state-of-mind, then modifying this
mindset should be able to modify
the risks of the stress translating to
disease.
The mind, stress and fatigue
Most of you will be familiar with
the feeling of being drained of
energy whenever you are stressed
or depressed. Negative emotions
shut out the mind’s command over
the energies that it normally
controls.
The qigong master must be in total
control of his emotions to be able
to control his qi. Positive
emotions, like happiness, on the
other hand, enhance this control.
To smile and be happy are
pre-requisites to practising
qigong!
At the molecular level, we know
that all cellular activities
important for survival and good
health are energetic processes. So,
even scientifically, it is expected
that anything that disrupts the
availability of energy to the cells
can cause disease.
But science only talks about
caloric and photonic energies,
which are not enough to explain
why people get fatigued, even if
they drink glucose or have so
much stored energy (fat deposits)
available.
If the availability of qi (life-force)
is brought into the equation, then a
lot more can be explained.
Perhaps when science catches up
with qi acnd metaphysics, we will
have better understanding of the
mysterious syndromes, and have
more hope of relief or even cures
for the millions of sufferers.
The mind can have absolute
control over the workings of qi,
but much less influence on the
metabolic production of energy
(from sugars and fats) in the body.
I believe we can solve many
health problems by combining our
knowledge of
neuro-endocrinology,
psych-neuro-immunology, and
psycho-neuro-energetics. The
answer lies in understanding what
the different kinds of bio-energy
can do for you. Energy Medicine
is indeed the next frontier of
medicine!
