HEALING BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES DAVID FLAKELAR I wish I could say my New Year started blissfully, but that was far from the truth. After being ambulanced to hospital I spent the next few days in a morphine induced haze. MRI’s and CAT scans revealed I had bulging discs, severe nerve impingements and a labral tear in my hip joint. Pain is without a doubt a great motivator! When you are in pain there is nothing you won’t try to get rid of it. Years of working my body too hard in the gym had taken its toll and I was faced with the very real prospect of major surgery. This realisation led me to David Flakelar a Energy Medicine Practitioner. With a healthy degree of scepticism my journey into energetic healing began. David explained that whilst there may be structural issues that need to be dealt with by more traditional methods he would activate my body’s energy systems to remove blocks and open my meridians and chakras. David made it clear that energy healing is a complementary modality and he does not advocate the exclusion of western medicines and treatments. I could feel my body relaxing and a subtle electrical charge passing through me, after my first session I felt more balanced and there was a noticeable lessening of pain. The excruciating pain that rendered me crippled a few short weeks ago has now gone without drugs, or surgery. Five treatments later and I am no longer a sceptic, I am a believer! Whilst I don’t completely understand how it works, I accept that it does. After all I still don’t understand how the mobile phones, the internet and WiFi work but my life is heavily reliant on them. I would recommend going in with an open mind for maximum benefit. All you need to begin your energy healing journey is curiosity and a willingness to learn. Who knows? You might just get hooked! - Kathryn Powell 62 Complete Health Like most Australian surfers, I have a love affair with Indonesia. Her beautiful tropical blue waters receive long period glassy swells from Southern Ocean storms that wrap into a myriad of bays and reefs across 2,800 km of coastline creating a Disneyland for surfing tragics like me. I have surfed my way across the archipelago from Sumba in the east up to Sumatra and the Mentawai islands in the north. I’ve travelled through some of the poorest parts of Indonesia where villages have limited access to modern medicine. I have been privileged to receive their hospitality, humour and honesty and where possible I was able to help them using energy medicine with the healing modality AcuEnergetics®. I have many stories of healing locals where I was able to bring relief from pain and suffering in all sorts of situations whilst on surfing holidays. My first story begins in Sumbawa early 2000. A young Australian woman Jenny (a nurse on holiday) approached me with a potentially life-threatening situation. She heard through the grape vine I was a practitioner of something or other, so she reached out to me desperate for help. She had been unable to hold down food or water for 3 days. Anyone who has spent time trekking or surfing in Asia knows after malaria, reef cuts and motorbike accidents, dehydration is the next daily health risk as it can slowly creep up on you and the next thing you know you’re nauseous, dizzy and potentially passing out. For Jenny, her problem started 3 days earlier in Bali when she awkwardly swallowed chunks of raw garlic. She semi choked at the time and thought nothing of it. Now with no flights leaving Sumbawa for another 3 days she was in trouble. Weak, badly dehydrated and with no medical help available, I was it - no pressure !!! I reasoned the pranic field of sumana had reversed and I needed to balance the navel energy centre to re direct the direction from upwards to downwards otherwise I couldn’t help her and this condition would continue. Pranic fields govern directions of energy effecting organs and various body functions. Sumana governs horizontal and downward energy in the body that supports biological function. In this case, the digestion track uses this field to move food and water down the throat through the stomach and digestive system for normal function. When pranic fields are imbalanced problems occur in various functions of the body. The navel energy centre was completely imbalanced. Using resonance Resonance is a healing technique that is unique to AcuEnergetics® It works like a tuning fork creating an opening and balancing effect on energy centres and meridians. This technique also allows the practitioner to feel and access in real time when a system is in balance whilst working off the body without needles or other devices. The modality is complimentary to traditional western medicine by supporting the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
