effects of toxic prescription drug use, which should be setting off alarm bells for all of us. How can energy be used to heal? For hundreds of years, the scientific explanation for the order and nature of the universe consisted mainly of a mechanistic view of reality: everything in nature was predictable and could readily be explained. The laws of classical physics and quantum physics diverged when physicists realised that the tiny particles that make up atoms responded to the observer's mind. Waves changed into particles when they were measured and observed and, furthermore, whether an observer was present or not. Subjective mind, therefore influences the behaviour of energy and matter. Moreover, in his ground breaking book The Biology of Belief, cell biologist Bruce H Lipton, has demonstrated how the new science of Epigenetics is revolutionising our understanding of the link between mind and matter. His discoveries show that the biochemical effects of the brain's functioning on all the cells of our body are affected by our thoughts. Important also to mention is the work of Candace Pert. In her book, Molecules of Emotion, she revealed how her study of information processing receptors on nerve cell membranes led her to discover that the same 'neural' receptors were present on most, if not all, of the body's cells. She established that the 'mind' was not focused only in the head, but was distributed via signal molecules throughout the body. Furthermore, her work discovered that emotions were not only derived from feedback coming from the body's environmental information. Through self-consciousness, the mind can use the brain to generate 'molecules of emotion' and override the system. Therefore, proper use of consciousness can bring health to an ailing body, while inappropriate unconscious control of emotions can easily make a healthy body. Non-locality can be described as the ability of objects to instantly know each other's state, even when separated by long distances – possibly even billions of light years away from each other. Non-locality happens due to the occurrence of entanglement, when particles that interact with each other become permanently interdependent on each other, to the extent that they effectively lose their individuality and in many ways become as one. This relationship between the concepts of non-locality and entanglement, strangely enough, has repeatedly been demonstrated in laboratory experiments. The theory is simple: Mind and the observer are Distant energy healing, also known as remote energy our concept of space and time, which unites all of us. healing, is based on the principle in quantum physics that Reality is not one continuous and consistent stream, but energy is not restricted by time or location, and therefore a field of infinite possibilities over which we can exert can be practised over any distance at any time, so that enormous influence. We are all interconnected. A striking characteristic determined by quantum mechanics is the concept of non-locality, which Albert Einstein rather dismissively called 'spooky actions at a •  distance'. paramount in the understanding of reality. be present.

Because you can make thought more real than anything else, you can change who you are from brain cell to gene, given the right understanding.' There is an infinite field of energy that exists beyond How does the energy healer work? The healer works with the combination of intuition and intention energy.
