Meridians and Mind-Body Congruence: Spirituality Aspects of Healing in a Homeopathic Care Setting

Authors

Athena du Pre, University of West Florida
Tammy Swenson Lepper, Winona State University

Description

In this chapter du Pre and Lepper provide an up-close look at energy work conducted during interactions between a homeopathic care provider and clients. To appreciate the spiritual basis of energy work, the authors first examine the philosophy that underlies traditional Eastern medicine and historical patterns of acceptance and prohibition. They then turn to a series of remarkable episodes in which patients react to issues revealed by their own nonverbal cues, thereby highlighting energy balance, emotions, and spirituality as essential components of health.
