Energy, Medicine and Art
Yesterday Oprah had a traditional medical doctor on her show to answer questions. His name is Dr. Oz. There were the usual questions about cellulite and botox but also a segment where Oprah had her first acupuncture treatment. Dr. Oz became suddenly agitated and made an amazing pronouncement for a western doctor on mainstream television.
He said the present state of global communication allows us to learn about medicine from all over the world and what we synthesize is going back out around the world almost instantly. He said that the future of medicine is energy medicine. He said it is not surgery and not pharmaceutical drugs that try to change body chemistry but energy. And he a western doctor.
Many of us know this and now more people will open their minds. Oprah sat right up and said that no doctor would have said that on her show ten years ago. Western medicine has resolutely refused to acknowledge any form of energy medicine, even homeopathy. In the midst of that refusal a whole world of devoted explorers and pratitioners has brought knowledge and change to the world of healing.
I’m very grateful to Dr. Oz for spreading the word. He’s not the first but it does matter that he said this. So many people will now be encouraged to explore alternative healing. It’s a paradigm shift of major proportions.
Which brings me back to art. Real healing is finding our way back to a state of peace and contentment and truth. Art too can create good vibrations and is another form of energy medicine. I believe that’s art’s true purpose now. We should all have some.

Cath, May I please put in a wee word for Prince Charles (and indeed, the entire royal family) much maligned these days for being, well, THEM. The queen and late queen mother, who died age 101, have always supported the use of homeopathy. ER2 is in her eighties and still reining strong. She has known every president since Roosevelt and keeps weekly appointments with Blair as well as her public duties. Charles is a strong advocate of organic farming and his farm is energy self sufficient. He recently received an award in NYC for which he was criticised for arriving in person to collect, although he used a scheduled BA flt. Dr Oz and indeed, Oprah, need to be applauded and keep spreading the word. It’s happing NOW. Real energy is the only way forward. rant rant rant…

KT— Thanks for that! LOVE what Prince Charles is doing and also that the royal family have been devotees of homeopathy for eons.
Homeopathy was once widespread before it was drummed out by the drug companies. It’s huge in India. Our family has had incredible results working with our homeopath. So, yeah, I won’t go on…rant, rant!!
