1 Energy Body tm E SCHULE FÜR ANGE Healing Through feeling by Christine Schenk the Christine Schenk School for Applied Energy-Body Medicine

2 Healing Through Feeling Let me start a little unconventional. Being European the bonus, rebate, gift and coupon system was very strange to me when I visited your country the first time. Europeans live more in a system where the relation value-service is a fix one. So I concluded that Americans are very sensitive to values. Therefore I start my lecture with a principal question: What are feelings worth for you? Do you recognize the value of feelings? I am not talking about topics that are well-known to be related to them such as love, sexuality, children, loss of every kind and death. We recognize and appreciate immediately the value of intellect and knowledge. However recognizing feelings in our culture goes rarely beyond already some far reaching and keen admissions of intuition or emotional intelligence. There is no big space that we allow feelings to live its nature. We believe that with the space that we grant feelings we are already generous enough. Unfortunately we do not see that by limiting our feeling to explore and to live we limit ourselves in a realm that manifests itself as subtle as the feeling s nature is. Sometimes we have simply forgotten that feelings are valuable because of upbringing and education in a certain environment. I said that feelings are subtle. Let s talk about energy. Energy is subtle too. The less it can be described the more it can be experienced. Feelings are the key for it. Words are only translating a non verbal experience into the verbal. So what is energy all about? Let me describe situations you may be very familiar with, thus enabling you to understand what may be energetically in your daily life. How often have you said that you felt uneasy with someone although the physical appearance of a person was nice or how often did you say that you loose energy when being together with someone or that you loose ground under your feet? Physically you can loose blood or weight; but where is energy going away from? Physically you can t loose the ground under your feet; the law of gravity prevents us humans from floating around. If you work as a therapist how often did you hear saying, give me time to come down, although the person was in front of you or how often you stated that your client needed to be grounded or centered. Physically we are always centered otherwise one foot would lie here the other one over there. Maybe you complained one day that you get drawn by your job. Physically you can get drawn by a whirl in the water for example. By these examples it is quite clear that we don t talk about the physical world. From the energetical point of view this sentences make more sense: we can float, we can come down, we need to be grounded and centered instead of spreading around, thus we can loose our energy, we can get drawn, thus loosing power to move forward. So we are energetically quite active! We live on an energetical plane, we are an energetic living being, an energy body. Listen what people tell you our language is full of signs ready to detect energy body related behavior. It is up to us to let those sentences either be a simple saying or to take us seriously by what we say. When taking us seriously we will find out that behind those sayings there are feelings related to that. Sometimes we are so afraid of what we experience feeling wise that we exclude feelings from our life and being focused on the sayings only. Thus the energy body s language

3 feelings- falls into oblivion. The energy body falls into oblivion. We forget who we are. And because we have forgotten we are not aware of the consequences. Excluding the energy body means excluding those special feelings means focusing more on the verbal expression. That means that what someone tells you gets more value than what you feel. Your energy body is of unique value. You are valuable. I am sure that many people have told you that too. But did you really believe them? If you have forgotten yourself being this energetic living being you will miss this value insight, which can lead to low self esteem, low self-appreciation or weak self-confidence. Consequently a lot of harm can occur to you as ignorance allows territory infringing actions. So to heal from these damages requires remembering. When taking preventive actions also. I had a client that repeatedly reported that people were so hostile to her. This woman suffered from constipation for the past 23 years and she was on laxative almost daily. When talking to her I found out however those colleagues were obviously helpful, that they were socializing and nice. She had no obvious troubles with her family or in the job, when she saw me, but nevertheless she felt some hostility although obviously there was no hostility. She consulted a psychotherapist who worked with her on her biographical past. She did spiritual counseling as she was told constipation is a symbol for not being able to let go off past experiences by forgiving. She did a lot to heal. All that helped her to understand her more, but the constipation was still there. So I had to find out where this suffering was coming from. I asked her to feel what she was talking about. Very often we talk about feelings, instead of taking the time and feeling them. What she perceived was hostility and aggressiveness in the energetic realm. She had no people around her that did take her perceptions as important as she did. I was on the same wave length so to speak and understood therefore where her holding back was coming from. As energy body she perceived a reality that was completely the opposite of what she experienced physically. That what she felt was the aggressiveness of the energy body of her colleagues although physically, people showed a nice laughing face. Understandably she was confused and was seeking for help. She confounded holding back as energy body in regard towards other energy bodies and holding back as physical body that created constipation. So the energy body and his world was the kernel of her problems. As soon as she started differentiating between perceptions of the physical world and perceptions of the energy world her well-being increased and one day she was off her pills. There are a lot of people out there who never forget who they are. They often believe that people around them are similar, that they take care too of their energy body-physical body couple hood. But their surrounding has forgotten to feel, has forgotten to live this partnership. I had a CEO from a technical devices producing company coming to me saying,

4 You know I see and feel when my partner in business is lying to me and he believes that untruth does not show up immediately. That hurts so badly. Of course you can see or feel untruth! Physically it does not hurt, energetically however it can. Physically you cannot see if someone lies unless he starts sweating or gets a red face. But you can see and feel as energy body something that gives you the awareness about untruth. You may see a change in energy. We say then that the person is not authentic to us. As nobody believed my client about his accesses to more information that the physical-body world could not provide, he developed depressive symptoms and psychosomatic disorders. Being considered to be a therapy resistant client he was referred to me. Feeling is of incredible value to evaluate relationships. Again, I don t talk about loving someone or having fun together. I talk about those subtle feelings that enable us to look behind the scene so to speak, to look at someone s behavior on the energy-body level. Normally it takes time to reveal that what is behind the physical appearance. In the negative scenario we either experience disappointments after a certain period or we keep relationships on a superficial level in order to avoid beforehand any disappointment. We keep distance energetically to others although we appear physically to be social and communicative and continue shaking hands or touching someone s shoulder. When it comes to relationships when those feelings are missing which means excluding the energy body, we substitute quality through quantity. We know everyone, but no one that we really allow approach us. However those feelings, the energy body s language - would be the key to find out if the person is worth to get closer. Ask yourself if you have a real good friend, that you are able to share your real innermost ideas and thoughts and you can really trust and rely on. This is what I am talking about. You attract relationships of value, quality and duration when you commit to yourself beforehand by trusting feelings, trusting the energy body. I would like to compare that with an example when I was observing the tourists behavior in Egypt. They were complaining about one shop owner who asked a high non negotiable price for an inconspicuous little piece of rug and turned happily next door buying for less money wonderful bright and nice looking rugs where they got a group discount on top of it. The inconspicuous little piece was a 400 years old rug that was lying in a mosque, while the bright ones where fabricmade and just one month old. Missing the energy body has impact even on more intimate part of our life such as the sexual life. Certainly you have heard someone saying or read that the person felt as if the other partner would not be here under quotes, as if something is missing under quotes. Under the energy body-physical body perspective those complaints make all sense. The partner was physically present however there is a possibility to be energetically gone. For what reason ever. And this is what can be felt. In my work I observe that mostly women complain about that. Neither because feelings is a simple female stuff to talk about, nor because women have problems with feelings. My observation showed me that women are only mostly more courageous enough to express a reality which exists too. They express much more frankly about energy-body related needs, unfortunately with the result to be often misunderstood. To conclude that women are too emotional is simply short-sighted.

5 So you see the spectrum of experiences is broad and ranges from superficial friendships to unfulfilled sexuality. The missing feeling is a sign that as energy body we miss the other one out there or our own energy body-physical body relationship is in trouble. After this introduction let me guide you to more specific energy-body related topics. So the energy body is per se not new. What is relatively new however is that diseases or disorders may be related to the imbalance between physical body and energy body. What is new however too is that people become sick, because they ignore or have forgotten what those feelings are necessary for. The number of problems that can be related to this issue is constantly increasing over the last years. This is one reason why energy medicine is booming. This leads me now to the therapeutic section. Viewed from the introductory topics it is quite understandable why the creation of misunderstandings and crises is possible. Over the long run they can lead to psychosomatic disorders and one day this may lead to a physical disease. Then you may consider other reasons being the source for it. The original source the energy body s well being, its contact to the physical body and the quality of interaction between both is forgotten. There are people who made deep going and far reaching experiences with the world of the energy body. I found out that people who had experienced sexual or physical violence in their life are most likely candidates to know about the energy body. Also people who had problems with anesthesia, who had traumas, neardeath or out of body experiences. Those who had a near death-experience, those who where seeing their physical body down there at the operation table or in the car after a car crash. Have you asked with what they were able to step out of your physical body? At this moment they were solely energy body, the energetic living being that normally does not get a lot of attention during life time. We are always physical body and energy body and at such rare occasions we get consciously into touch with our other part of existence. It is a pity when our contact to ourselves happens rarely consciously. Remember when I talked about complaining women and feelings related to sexual life. This group I mentioned right now is most likely to be misunderstood too. They may talk about pain in the energy body being so bad that they believe this pain to be physical. Sometimes they are labeled to be hypochondriacs, having a psychosomatic disorder or simply being therapy resistant. If you belong to this group and you search for a practitioner that won t ignore your energetic pain, remain in your feelings. Your energy body will tell you via feelings if there will be help for you and if the practitioners energy body is here. Let me present some topics where you don t get full value when you are not aware that claiming full value is possible. Perceiving oneself as energy body means asking the full value, because you know the value. This is a very natural process. I have a lot of clients who did not claim the full value with the result that they got into psychological troubles or became intimidated simply because some one told them that seeing or feeling energies requires enlightment, special rituals to

6 follow or supernatural powers that only a few possess. You cannot claim full value from others when you believe that someone has more value than you, when someone has something you don t have. Maybe that person describes you energies that she sees, well, you may feel if she tells you the truth on the energy-body level. Simply compare testimonials of a car accident and you will rapidly understand and appreciate the variety of possibilities of perception. So find out what you perceive as energy body and how. We all are energy body. Therefore be sure that you have senses too that are working. Remember the sayings I was mentioning at the beginning of my lecture and include the corresponding feelings. As you are choosing today a good diet and whole food and are looking for a practitioner of your confidence you should provide the same attention for yourself as energy body. Energy healing is a very complex field of work as you enter in the energy body of someone like surgery would do or you work on someone s energy body with this modality. Energy healing is available almost everywhere. But what criteria are you choosing for the practitioner to be carefully working with you as energy body, on or even in your energy body, recognizing your pain that hurts you as energy body? Is it his friendly staff, the rapid answering on the phone, a nicely decorated room, his numerous diplomas hanging on the wall or any discount you may get and you don t get elsewhere? What I mentioned here are all reflexions related to the physical world. Not automatically you are as energy body in good energy body hands of the practitioners. If you get attracted too much by the physical appearance unfortunately you will miss energy body-related facts of importance. Let s take an explanatory closeup with the diplomas. A diploma tells you that the person learned something and graduated. You can see the diploma hanging on the wall. This is a physical fact, one reality. But as you are energy body too you certainly will perceive YOUR reality, the energetic one. And all people who live in a partnership here in the audience know that what can be perceived by one partner will not necessarily be perceived by the other one too. The same applies for you as energy body. You look for other criteria to evaluate a situation. As energy body, the work will only be to your full satisfaction if the energy body of the practitioner is here. As energy body you are going to see this body. Let s have a closer look on the energy body-physical body partnership of the practitioner: There is his or her physical body who is receiving you. But where is the practitioner s energy body? Is it present or gone? Take a minute here and think about this scenario. Let s assume that you feel sick, which means very often to be energetically sick or you as energy body are sick, needing energetic care. Through feelings the energy body s language you get motivated to see Mr. X. So keep in mind that is you as energy body that needs to see a competent person you trust. Therefore you wants to see the energy body of Mr. X. Normally we say then sentences such as this guy really sees me meaning seeing energetically, otherwise this guy must be blind, or I like his energy meaning I like this person as energy body. Now you enter the room that what you will certainly do is looking for Mr. X in person, not for the assistant of course. Most probably you will leave the practice if Mr. X is not available. But do you the same on the energy-body level? How much time do you take to check out if the energy-body of Mr. X is here we

7 normally say that the person is grounded, or focused? If you don t observe carefully your perceptions from the energy-body level, you will get treated by the assistant, which means in this specific example by the physical body only. It is one of the biggest and very sad to say most important misunderstandings that we have in the energy interested community to believe that energy healing work is done by the physical body. It is not the physical body hand that can heal you energetically but it is the energy-body hand at the same height as the physical-body hand that is able to provide this energetic care BUT only under the condition that the energy body is grounded, which means right there, where the physical body is, so just in front of you. If you don t check beforehand if the energy body of the practitioner is here when getting energetic treatment that translates on the energy-body level to be treated by the assistant as the boss, the energy body is not in right now. Well, being treated by the assistant, if we stay in this analogy, means accepting less value and this may entail consequences for your energetic health. Being treated by a good energy body-physical body partnership means getting full service. I am specialized working with clients who had assistant s service so to speak and their experiences where not good ones. Some complaint afterwards about pain which was energetically of course that could not be found. This group of people also gets labeled to be hypochondriacs, therapy resistant or having a psychosomatic disorder. You may ask well how can I check it out if the practitioner is here? The question turns back to you. Are you here as energy body? Because as long as you are not here as energy body why should the practitioners energy body show up. As there is no one here under quotes who will see him. You may ask well how do I know if I am here, well grounded? I think time has come now for a little exercise. After this exercise I continue with my lecture and test yourself for 5 minutes in a row from now on to find out if you can stay inside. I continue with the results of an assistant s work. You would rarely have those experiences when taking this body seriously. This body would prevent itself by allowing only those people touching when being able to evaluate beforehand the energy body skills of the practitioner you see. In my first book The Marriage between Physical Body and Energy Body I was publishing a questionnaire that you should look for before allowing someone to touch your energy body.

8 Ethics is an important topic to establish guide lines for a loving and caring practitioner-patient relationship that is based upon respect and dignity for the energetic needs of the patient. But this requires that the patient is informed of the value of energies and subtle feelings. Till now I was talking about the client s position and I would like to present the picture from the practitioner s position too. More patients enter your practice with energy body related symptoms. And the number of that kind of patients is growing. I work mostly with clients that are labeled to be difficult. They were being referred from one practitioner to the other still seeking for help. They feel, see, hear and smell things nobody else does. They tell me about an experience that normally does not get the attention in a conventional practice. Often they are afraid to tell what they feel as understandably they don t want to be registered to be crazy when saying for example that they have sleepless nights because they hear their wife talking to them and sharing thoughts although the physical body of this good woman is laying beside sleeping. This person I talk about was not crazy but simply telepathic, which means he had conversation on the energy body level. I am aware that there is a fine line but nevertheless I think that we should not throw the bath water away with the baby. Energy medicine is a relatively young and definitely pioneering healing modality in western hemispheres of the globe and gains popularity not only because it s new and trendy, but because the patient s energy body is sick and searching for adequate help. For many practitioners it is an excellent option for the patient when conventional treatments do not work. What concerns research and validity of results, energy medicine is still in baby shoes compared to the centuries old experiences of conventional medicine. Energy healing modality has its own side effects, adverse reactions and counter indications and the earlier we get aware how their nature is, the quicker we can respond as practitioners, thus allowing us and our patients not to tumble in the dark of unknowing and desperate suffering. A practitioner is today in a very challenging position: Firstly because when ignoring the energy body during diagnosing, the communication with the patient may be difficult: The patient talks about energetic pain while the practitioner, expecting a medical or psychological symptom, will classify the reported feeling to those areas. Secondly: The practitioner is well advised to ask nowadays about energetic treatments that a patient underwent in order to better understand current symptoms the patient is talking about. Ask the patient if he was recently with a consciousness enlarging workshop, if he meditates, makes acupressure or if he does chakra balancing at the same time. What I am outlining here is that simply doing several energetic balancing modalities at the same time may show side effects like the chemistry of different medications would. A client may show headaches or sleeplessness only to mention a few symptoms and there are many other reasons too why a client can be suffering. So the questionnaire gets longer and longer. Third: I mentioned before in regard to the patient that side effects may occur.

9 But certainly there are side effects too for the practitioner using energy healing techniques. A prominent vocational disease is the so-called burn-out syndrome. As Mme. Curie became sick from exposure to radiation you may become energetically sick due to the nature of your energy work or due to the fact that your energy body metabolism cannot handle the regular exposure to this kind of work. You may ask how I can avoid becoming energetically sick. Again I come back to the introductory part feelings are the key to recognize. I will talk more about the practical and experiential issues in the afternoon. Treating a sick energy body requires knowledge about its complex anatomy and physiology. That leads me to the next, but less compelling reason why a patient may be difficult to treat: A patient may experience energy-body pain after energy healing sessions such as chakra or hands-on-healing to give an example. Those techniques are as powerful as a surgical intervention on and in the physical body. But what heals can have side effects or may be contra indicative too. So does those techniques. While a doctor is well acquainted with knowledge about healing and harming healers, however have often the belief that this does not apply with what they do. Not every energy problem can be reduced to the 7 Chakra system although they are a very well known energetic system as you cannot reduce all diseases having their origin in the spleen, the heart and the liver. Healers with insufficient knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of the energy body may harm the energetic health. The patient however feels not good, weak and sick although there is nothing on the physical plane. This type of patients too belongs to the group of so-called psychosomatic disorders If you want to have a deeper insight into this work, I offer a 2-day workshop as Introduction. I specialized in Europe for the topics that I teach and lecture which are ethics, how to recognize or to avoid side effects in energy medicine, adverse reactions or counter indications or energy healing modalities, anatomy and physiology of the energy body. The feedback that I get during supervision of people that I trained to work with and to talk to the energy body is that the demand for care in this realm is steadily growing for this partner. I specialized in training people how to recognize themselves as energy body from others, to differentiate their emotional and mental perceptions as energy body and physical body and to understand how the energetic organism is functioning when it is sick or healthy. I assist people to make them this partnership aware consciously. Not as a new mental concept, but by experiencing. You may hear about a concept which is a question of belief to accept it or not. But this is different if you can experience something through feeling it. Therefore I said feelings are of incredible value. I called this method CHRIS - Technik. That is not the abbreviation of my name Christine. I was once gave a live interview on TV and the host of the show said: Welcome Christine Schenk, the founder of the CHRIS -Technik. CHRIS stands for your name. Since then I explain that CHRIS stands for Cellular Harmonizing Regenerative Integration System. It is encouraging to know that with this approach also these types of patients

10 can be reached. Medical reports tell us anyhow that the number of this kind of patients is increasing. The reports of practitioners that I trained in recognizing and differentiating energetic from pure physical symptoms and getting acquainted with the energybody anatomy and physiology are very encouraging. Practitioner can work easier with mentally handicapped people, diffuse indisposition after local or post-surgical anesthesia is reduced as well as side effects evoked by acupuncture; drug patients who undergo a detoxication treatment have reduced sensation of pain, only to mention a few advantages. Psychotherapists support easier patients with depression, with suicidal tendencies, acute or chronic states of shock or stress symptoms. Moreover this knowledge reduces significantly the possibility that the practitioner is endangered through burn-out. So this was a short commercial break. After now more than 21 years of experience I observe a steadily increasing number of patients reclaiming to be viewed primarily as energy bodies and are seeking for help although they show physical problems. We should not reduce the energy body to an mechanistic approach but we should realize that we are a living energetic being that shows reactions through feelings. Meanwhile I don t believe in a classification of therapeutic resistance but rather in a wrong choice of practitioner, wrong method or simply treating the wrong body. There are no miracles, said Master Eckehart a wise German, who lived in the 14th century, but rules and laws still waiting to be discovered. I think we should be whether afraid that side effects may occur nor ignoring them and proceed forward doing business as usual. Energy medicine is tightly connected to the energy-body s existence. But this body is very different in its nature, its behavior and its reactions. There is no recipe how to improve your partnership. What you need is self-initiative and a sense of self-responsibility to take care of this partnership. Such as two drops a day read chapter 7 and learn it by heart and you will become beautiful, rich, healthy, adored and admired. This are wishes that orient toward the outside. The values I am talking about are values that need to be discovered by your own in form of self-help, self-awareness in a good and constructive sense of the word. Let me be a little philosophical. Look at the world economy, at business and management. What we are desperately looking for are additional resources, new substances, more efficient methods of rationalization. In former days only men went to work while women were at home. Today both go to work for monetary reasons. Apply the same to your energy body-physical body partnership. Discover the energy body as a very valuable companion in yourself. What you need is to understand its nature. Feelings are the key for unlocking additional resources in order to cope better with life. Finding out how deeply you want to get involved with feelings is a very intimate and very individual decision. Living a life where feelings get the position that is deserves is a personal decision based on commitment towards oneself. Thus to 10

11 allow healing wounds that manifest differently than physical wounds. It may be confusing to enlarge our concept of who we are to two bodies. Understanding already the physical body and its world is difficult and complex enough. But reducing ourselves to one size smaller does not help us either. We deserve to be perceived in the size that we have. It is the same with clothes. Would you accept buying size 10 by squeezing in when 12 fits easier and looks nicer? The 21st century is the right time to become aware of yourself that you are more. Healing your energy body through feeling and thus restoring your marriage of physical body and energy body allows letting emerge an inwardly and outwardly healed personality. I thank you for your attention. Christine Schenk, The Christine Schenk School for applied Energy-Body Medicine Christine Schenk is a European teacher with 30 years of experience. In recent years she has become the teacher of many of the leading European holistic physicians and the gold standard against which every new European method and teaching is measured. Not unlike Caroline Myss and Barbara Brennan in this country, Christine has access to the many different frequency bands of the invisible world and its phenomena. What put her in her class of her own is the ability to teach her method to others in clear scientific terms and in a practical, down to earth way. Some comments about her work: As an energetic practitioner I always experienced taking on the energy of my clients. People would tell me I was not grounded. I tried every form of grounding but still had the experience. I experienced the CHRIS -Technique where I learned to be grounded and how not to take on the energy from my clients. I no longer feel burned out from a day of energy work with my clients. I am presently a doctorate student in Energy Medicine and have researched many forms of Energy healing. I can truly say after working with Christine Schenk, I have a real understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the energy system and how it manifests. Christina Walker RN MA As a practitioner of conventional and alternative medicine I have never experienced work like this. From the first day of her seminar, I was personally experiencing my own energy body and that of others. I could immediately help more patients as well as myself with these experiences. I walked away with something tangible and invaluable. I felt a refreshing sense of wholeness, as well as an energetic and physical sense of what is mine and what is someone else s. I don t have to enter into another individual s space any more in an attempt to help them heal. This helps them and it helps me. Marcellus Walker MD L. Ac. 11

12 I have suffered for over a decade with chronic symptoms that eventually became disabling. In my desire to continue healing, my searches lead me to energy healing. As a client, only blind trust and faith in the practitioner to heal and to do no harm was required. There were not clear, if any, explanations of what energy healing was, how it worked and about its protocols. It was mysterious and secretive. Christine clearly explains what the energy body is and its relationship to the physical body and how the relationship is manifested in your life. She allows you to contemplate how to negotiate changes in the relationship. She keeps you focused on the big picture without losing the details. There are clear and precise protocols. Boundaries and ethics are clearly defined. There are no judgments, only honoring. Neutrality takes on a whole new different meaning. This experience and knowledge gave me a new perspective and perspective leads to life changes. Desiree Taylor The CHRIS Program does not use esoteric psycho-babble that leaves you with a feel-good high for a few days. Rather, it offers basic, down to earth techniques that I use on a daily basis. I ve had more personal change in five days with Christine than I ve had in years with other approaches.
