VIBRATIONAL HEALING Elizabeth Hess, DIHom, Herbalist, Healer

What is vibrational healing? When I started on my quest to understand and answer this question many years ago I was a practicing Herbalist in Southern California, living on five acres and growing many of the herbs I used in my practice. Although I understood that plants had healing energies and knew the importance of the growing conditions and the good intentions needed to optimize medicinal qualities, the discovery that everything; plants, people, animals, have energy fields that always surround them opened up a new world for me and significantly changed my beliefs about disease.

As an Herbalist, I treated symptoms, nourished physiological systems and believed illness to be psychosomatic but I didn’t really understand how this worked. If we hold in anger year after year until we get sick, where is this anger held? How does a thought process manifest physically? How can it be healed? The answer is that disease and imbalance start in our Human Energy Field before manifesting in the physical body. Our human energy fields or auric layers are a part of us, our very own energetic vibrations, and these energy fields need conscious attention and care just as our physical bodies do. At the very center of our energy field is our major chakra system,. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning "wheel". When our chakras are in balance they spin in a clockwise direction like a wheel. There are minor chakras throughout our entire physical body.

The seven energetic layers in our human energy field surround our physical bodies. Each level is different in vibrational frequency, color, and texture.  

The first level is called the etheric body, it exists closest to our physical body, it deals with physical functioning and physical sensations. It is a structured level that gives our physical body integrity The first level appears as cobalt blue lines with clear negative space like a grid.  

The second level is called the emotional body, it extends out about 3-4 inches from our physical body. The emotional body is associated with the feelings we have about ourselves. If we allow feelings about ourselves to flow, both positive and negative, it helps the second level stays in balance. The emotional body is unstructured and appears as misty clouds of all the chakra colors.  

The third level is called the mental body, it extends out about 6-9 inches from our physical body. The mental body is associated with clarity, rationality and the intuitive mind. Negative thought forms exist on this level. The mental body is bright lemon yellow with a tightly woven texture.  

The fourth level is called the astral body; it extends out about 2” from our physical body. The astral body is associated with the love and joy of relationships as well as the struggle and pain. This level is also associated with dreams.  

  The fifth level is called the divine etheric template; it extends 2˝" from our physical body. The divine etheric template is the dimension of divine will that holds the great evolutionary plan of humanity and the universe. We have free will to align ourselves with this divine will, or not. When balanced we feel connected to a greater purpose in our lives.  

The sixth level is called the celestial body; it extends out about 3" from the physical body. It is here we feel bliss, ecstasy, devotion, joy and feel our connection with the entire universe. It is the vibration of divine love where we feel unconditional love. We can see the light and love in everything that exists.  We reach this level of experience through meditation, religion, chanting, and music.  

The seventh level is called the Ketheric template; it extends out about 3˝" from our physical body. It is the vibration of divine mind where we know perfection in our imperfection. We reach this level of experience by searching for higher truth in our lives.

What is vibrational healing? It's healing that takes place in our energy fields using hands on healing, flower essences, gem essences, homeopathic remedies, toning and other therapies that address issues of energy blockages and energetic imbalances in our chakra system and our energy fields. You can think of it as increasing and strengthening your life force, (vibration, light, chi, prana, ka ) on an energetic level. We are beings of light in physical form.   Vibrational medicines embody a particular energetic frequency, or soul quality. When we use vibrational remedies to clear unproductive life patterns and eliminate energetic blockages in our human energy field, we raise our consciousness and we are able to function from a point that is closer to the real Self, which brings a sense of inner harmony.

As our conscious awareness is elevated, our ability to understand and incorporate higher ideals and healthier life patterns is enhanced. Vibrational remedies work on the emotions and spirit.  If we are open to change, their effect can be dramatic, but if we resist the nudge they give the emotions, they may have little visible effect in the short run.   Vibrational medicines include homeopathy, flower essences, gem essences, and color essences. Vibrational therapies include, light and sound therapy, magnetic healing, radionics, hands on healing, emotional processing to name a few. Here is a brief look at some of these modalities:   Homeopathy comes from the Greek words "homios" meaning similar and "pathos" meaning suffering. Similar Suffering. Homeopathic medicine is based on "the Law of Similars" or "like cures like". This means that the same substance that produces disease symptoms in a healthy person when given in large doses, can also cure a sick person with similar symptoms when given in very diluted doses. Like cures like. For example, you ingest a huge amount of bayberry (Myrica) and become despondent, irritable, indifferent, gloomy. Your scalp feels tight, and you have a headache with drowsiness, aching in the eyeballs, and a dull, heavy aching in your temples and forehead upon waking in the morning. You have pain and stiffness in the nape of the neck. Your face has a yellow cast and it itches and stings. There is a bad taste in your mouth and your nauseous with a constricted and rough feeling in the throat with a constant desire to swallow. There is a dull pain in the liver region, fullness in the stomach and abdomen and loss of appetite. You have disturbed bad dreams with frequent waking. An ill person exhibiting these warning signs could be given the homeopathic remedy Myrica in a diluted dose, based on the totality of symptoms". Many homeopathic remedies deal with the symptom "stiffness in the nape of the neck", or "disturbed bad dream with frequent waking", it's the "totality of symptoms"  that determine homeopathic remedy selection.

Homeopathic remedies come in various potencies, or dilutions. Low potencies are not as diluted (30X, 12C, 30C) and are for acute conditions and usually given in frequent doses. Medium potencies are more diluted (200C, 1M) and are for more chronic conditions with infrequent dosages, and high potencies, which are very diluted (10M, 10MM) are usually given in constitutional prescribing where only one dose is given.   There are hundreds of homeopathic remedies that cover thousands of symptoms. And there are many different branches of homeopathy: gemmotherapy, lithotherapy, drainage, biochemical tissue salts, nosodes, and organotherapy that apply homeopathic remedies using distinctive therapeutic methodology. It's not a good idea to self medicate using homeopathic remedies until you learn more about them. Some homeopathic remedies are called polycrests from the Greek words "poly" (many) and "crestos" (uses). Polycrests are remedies with many uses that are used to treat a wide range of common symptoms. Studying the polycrests is a good place to start learning about homeopathy.   Taking the wrong remedy + the wrong potency = no cure and aggravation where the symptoms become more severe Taking the wrong remedy + the right potency = no cure Taking the right remedy + wrong potency = no cure or possible aggravation Taking the right remedy + right potency = cure   The first three levels of our human energy field relate to the physical world. Homeopathic remedies in low to medium potencies (30X, 30C, 200C) are very effective on these levels.

You have a headache, instead of reaching for Tylenol or Ibuprofen try a homeopathic remedy. Homeopathic remedies increase the vital force of the body so that it can heal itself, by dealing with the cause of the headache, usually by identifying an imbalance in our mental / emotional state.

Taking a pain reliever for a headache, while effective in relieving the symptoms of the headache, in reality cause suppression of the symptoms and do not address the root cause at all.  The imbalance will continue to manifest as a headache or other physical symptom.
