ENERGY PSYCHOLOGY IN THE

CLASSROOM
Dr. Michael A. Davis
 Quantum Theory
• “Energy is not continuous, but comes in small but
discrete units.
• The elementary particles behave both like particles and
like waves.
• The movement of these particles is inherently random.
• It is physically impossible to know both the position
and the momentum of a particle at the same time. The
more precisely one is known, the less precise the
measurement of the other is.
• The atomic world is nothing like the world we live in.”
• Quoted from Thinkquest.org
 Quantum Physics
• “In the emerging concept of the new sciences
there is no categorical divide between the
physical world, the living world, and the world
of mind and consciousness. Matter is
vanishing as a fundamental feature of reality,
retreating before energy; and continuous
fields are replacing discrete particles as the
basic elements of an energy-bathed universe.”
Quantum Physicist Ervin Lazlo
 What is Energy Medicine?
• My definition:
“Energy Medicine is the conscious use of
information (frequency) to manipulate the
subtle energies of the body to allow for self-
healing.”
 Subtle Energies
• “My research shows that human energy fields
display a continuum. The extremely low
frequencies (ELF), are directly involved with life’s
biological processes. The extremely high
frequency (EHF) patterns ally with the mind-field
and awareness. The general pattern of ELF is
similar for all people, while the EHF reveals a
personal signature of emotional patterning for
each person.”
Infinite Mind, Valerie V. Hunt, PhD
 The “Field”
• “What we experience with our limited senses as
matter is actually organized fields of energy.
Therefore what is “real” is not matter but fields.
As Einstein put it, ‘The field is the only reality.’”
• “We are blind to more than 99.999 percent of the
light that actually exists in the universe.”
• “Plants and people really glow in the dark
{biophotons} .”
The Energy Healing Experiments, Gary E.
Schwartz, PhD
 What is Energy Psychology?
• My definition:
• Energy Psychology is the use of energy
medicine techniques, which influence the
subtle energies of the body, to heal or treat
psychological imbalances or trauma; it would
also broadly include techniques designed to
“rewire” the brain.
 Effectiveness?
• Hospitals/Doctors – 3rd leading cause of death
• No reported injuries from energy medicine
• Mayo Clinic – wrong diagnosis 67% of the time
based upon autopsy
• Caroline Myss – Medical Intuitive –
documented 93% accurate
• Most drugs/procedures need only work 37%
of the time to be approved (placebo is 35%)
 The Future
• “Future generations, looking back, will regard
conventional medicine during the twentieth
century as being as limited as five-finger
arithmetic. A new medicine is arising - one which
embraces spirituality and consciousness as
emphatically as conventional medicine has
dismissed them.”
Larry Dossey, M.D.

BODY/MIND/SPIRIT
 The Body
• “Beliefs control biology!”
The Biology of Belief, Dr. Bruce Lipton
• “The actions we take can literally expand or
contract different regions of the brain….”
Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain, Sharon Begley
• “Physics tells us that everything has energy…. Our
bodies are also teeming with energies and
frequencies…. The body acts as an antenna.”
The Energy Healing Experiments, Dr. Gary Schwartz
 The Mind
• “The human brain can change itself.”
The Brain That Changes Itself, Dr. Norman
Doidge
• “I regard the placebo response as a pure
example of healing elicited by the mind; far
from being a nuisance, it is, potentially, the
greatest therapeutic ally doctors can find in
their efforts to mitigate disease.”
Dr. Andrew Weil
 Implications
• Now, neuroscientists have shown that they can make this
experience physical, creating a “body swapping” illusion
that could have a profound effect on a range of
therapeutic techniques. At the annual meeting of the
Society for Neuroscience last month, Swedish researchers
presented evidence that the brain, when tricked by optical
and sensory illusions, can quickly adopt any other human
form, no matter how different, as its own.”

• Upside down glasses – 30 days
• Mirrors with phantom limbs
• Darkness for 48 hours
 Emotions
• “We can no longer think of the emotions as
having less validity or material substance, but
instead must see them as cellular signals that are
involved in the process of translating information
into physical reality, literally transforming mind
into matter.”
Molecules of Emotion – Dr. Candace Pert
“Scientists may have found the glue *a protein+ that
keeps fearful memories stuck in the brain….”
Andrea Thompson, LiveScience
 The Subconscious
• Conscious mind processes 400 bits of
information per second.
• Subconscious mind processes 11,000,000 bits
per second.
• Subconscious is 80% “filled” by age 5.
It’s not a fair fight!
 Spirit
• “ The more you think about God, the more
you will alter the neural circuitry in specific
parts of your brain.”
How God Changes Your Brain, Dr. Andrew
Newberg
• “We are not human beings having a spiritual
experience. We are spiritual beings having a
human experience.”
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
 Neuroplasticity
• Localization now relegated to a generality –
• Examples – braille, half-a-brain, stroke, and
phantom limbs
• “The shape of our brain maps changes depending
upon what we do ….”
• Competitive plasticity - “use it or lose it.”
• Addictions - “Neurons that fire together, wire
together.”
The Brain That Changes Itself, Dr. Norman Doidge
 Energy Psychology/Medicine
• Back to the beginning:
• Energy Medicine is the conscious use of
information (frequency) to manipulate the
subtle energies of the body to allow for self-
healing, and Energy Psychology specifically
addresses psychological issues and trauma.

• Brain plasticity may be the explanation.

 Demonstrations
• Enough theory!
• Muscle testing
• Do we really have an energy field?
• Can it be easily impacted by my thoughts?
• Can it be easily impacted by the thoughts of
others?
• Can physical healing occur quickly through the
use of energy medicine techniques?
 Classroom Strategies

– Three facial taps
– Dr. Newberg – faith, positive thinking, meditation,
companionship, exercise
