1. Advanced Integrative Energy Healing (AIEH)
January 2017
Internship Presentation by Mechthild Maczewski, Ph.D.

2. Story
I’m here to introduce/advocate for a complementary healing approach called (A)IEH because it had and continues to have profound effects for others around me as well as on my own life.
What was most amazing was the sense of wholeness as a person and a sense of knowing that came out of these treatments, that I had never experienced before.
What AIEH can facilitate for and with the client is a deep connection with the body and an authentic self, which “somehow” seems to facilitate emotional, mental, physical and spiritual health. It does so with a variety of processes, primarily working with the Biofield together with somatic experiencing, awareness dialogue and character structures.

3. Biofield Therapies
“Complementary medicine therapies that involve the intentional alternation of subtle energy to elicit a healing response” (Jain, Science of Energy Healing, 2016, p.2)
E.g., Reiki, Healing Touch, Pranic Healing

4. Definition: Well-being
Illness, pain, emotional disturbance or any other type of discomfort is a signal that we are out of balance in some aspect of our being. Some activity, habit, or perception is misaligned with what we need in order to be healthy.
Healing is the process by which one is restored from this state of dis-harmony to a state of balance and wellness. It does not necessarily mean curing or eliminating symptoms, but gaining awareness and a new perception of all the parts that make up the whole individual.
Healing only comes about through change. Sometimes we are required to take on something new and other times we need to let go. It is up to each of us to determine what we need in order to become whole. (

6. AIEH
Integrative Energy Healing (IEH) is a gentle, non-invasive healing technique based in Eastern Integral Yoga Psychology and Western Science – merging knowledges.
IEH works primarily with the Human Energy Energy Field or Biofield. AIEH theory believes that the biofield holds and patterns the consciousness of the whole organism including its physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions.
Its goal is to assist the client in clearing energetic blockages, assisting in the creation of a coherent / aligned Biofield that in turn facilitates an increased sense of well-being.

7. What is the Human Energy Field?

8. Coherent Biofield
Coherence, alignment – choice of words – look at who uses what…
Biofield (Oschman, Physiology), Human Energy Field (Brennan), Universal Energy Field (UEF)

9. Lack of Biofield Coherence

10. Coherence

11. AIEH Coherence Building Practices
Energetic
meditation, intentions, visualizations, biofeedback
Physical
exercise, breathing practices, somatic awareness
Mental & Emotional:
awareness of thoughts, emotions – shift to positivity e.g. WHEE, positive affirmations, feeling the higher vibration, self- regulation techniques
Spiritual
awareness dialogue: Gaining clarity on life purpose and connection to self and others
Biofeedback (Heartmath)

12. Possible AIEH Benefits
Self awareness
Improved mobility
Self empowerment
Integral self care practices
Improved quality of sleep
Improved mood and clarity
Anxiety and stress reduction
Relaxation of muscle tension
Increased energy and vitality
Chronic and acute pain relief
Stress tolerance and resilience
Balancing mind, body and spirit
Nervous system regulation skills
Traumatic experience resolution
Stimulates body innate healing mechanisms

13. Biofield Coherence – Client Self-reported Experience
Pain reduction
Increased sense of well-being
Sense of relaxation, calmness
“I feel whole again”
”I regained my power”
Increase in self-awareness
And therefore we would love you to refer clients to us!

14. Biofield Coherence Effects
Review of studies (of medium methodological quality): strongest evidence found for reduction of pain (Jain, Science of Energy Healing, 2016, p.2)
At the highest level of organization, each life form may possess an innate biologic field, or biofield, a complex, dynamic, weak energy field involved in maintaining the integrity of the whole organism, regulating its physiologic and biochemical responses, and integral to development, healing, and regeneration (Rubik, 1993, 1997, 2002b). human-biofield-and-other-energetic-instruments

15. Goals of AIEH Alignment Coherence
Overarching goal is to balance the chakras / to regulate the nervous system. In other words: the reprogramming, re- patterning of existing energetic and neurological pathways
To facilitate the alignment/coherence of your bio-field, the subtle energy body, in order to:
increase a sense of well-being
increase mental, emotional, physical, spiritual awareness
assist in the bodies self healing processes

16. What does AIEH teach clients?
Somatic Awareness, e.g.
Identifying strengths in the body
Identifying where stress is held
Self-regulation Techniques, e.g.
Meditation
Visualization
Alternate tapping
Breathing techniques

17. Concluding remarks Exciting and a passion for this because…
“For millenia, genetics has evolved by random mutation, by random chance. Now we’re actually using our consciousness to change our gene expression. When you tap, when you meditate, and you then turn down your cortisol producing genes, turn up your DHEA genes, when you’re a more healthy, peaceful person, just as the result of the conscious decision to take care of yourself, now we have consciousness interacting with biology. That’s never happened in an evolutionary scale before.”
