Western Scientific Theory Vs Aura Healing Theory

It’s curious that the forms ofhealing that have been around for several millennia are called “alternative” and modern western medicine, which has only be around for a few centuries, is called “traditional”. Typically, the response to that is to say that western medicine is based on science and other forms of medicine are not. That idea is simply not true. However, the fact is that Chinese Medicine, as one example, has been practiced and documented for over two thousand years. The important idea here is “documented” because that really means that the Chinese experimented with different forms of treatment based on their theory of medicine and documented the results. That’s what the scientific method is all about. You don’t have to have all kinds of electronic gizmos to be scientific. Isaac Newton didn’t have those gizmos either.
One of the biggest differences between Chinese Medicine and modern western medicine is that the holistic forms are based on the theory of the human aura energy. A lot of people say that the human aura energy is a lot of mumbo jumbo and isn’t scientific, but, actually, it does fit nicely with the most up to date thinking in western science.
Historically, humans are like ostriches when it comes to forms of energy. If they don’t see it, then it doesn’t exist. People have always come up with strange descriptions for energy from magic to gods. Now we are aware of electromagnetic, gravitational, and nuclear forces and the attempt has been underway for some time to unify all of these different forms of energy into a unified field theory. Given our history of incredible discovery it is only arrogance to assume that today we have discovered every form of energy and everything else there is to discover.
Most people learn from the Newtonian point of view. That is typically taught in high school and the first year of college. We’re taught that planets are like giant billiard balls moving around in space and being influenced by forces like gravity and collisions. It’s the viewpoint of sort of a cosmic marble ring. That point of view was also reflected in early ideas about atoms. I’m sure you’re familiar with the marble theory of electrons orbiting around a nucleus made of protons and neutrons.
Well, all that changed around 1920 when Erwin Schrodinger showed that electrons, protons, and neutrons could also be thought of as waves. About the same time Albert Einstein came up with his now famous equation E=MC2 relating matter to energy. These two events dramatically changed physics because it shifted scientific thinking from a rigid, static marble viewpoint to a vibrational, possibility viewpoint… but most people don’t really understand this viewpoint because it’s typically not taught until the second year of college physics and chemistry.
Since Schrodinger and Einstein there has been a constant effort to discover the most fundamental building blocks of the universe. Today, string theory is the leading edge of theoretical physics. In essence, this theory says that the basic building blocks are inconceivably small vibrations. The theory researches the properties and energetic interactions of these most subtle multi-dimensional vibrations… and it’s those properties and interactions that ultimately create denser and denser matter until atoms, molecules, TVs, and people come into being. The implication here is that at the most subtle levels the only thing that exists is vibration. It gets denser and denser to finally form human beings and other things.
The idea of everything starting with subtle vibrational energy is exactly the point of view found in alternative healing methods. Ayurvedic Medicine and Yoga call this most subtle energy prana. This energy manifests in denser and denser forms and varieties to eventually form the world and human beings. In a sense, modern science is catching up to the basic theories of oriental medicine, yoga, and the martial arts that have been around for thousands of years.
