Energy Psychology is a new field that is emerging on the cutting edge of Psychology, Biophysics, and Spirituality. In Energy Psychology modern-day psychology meets the ancient wisdom of the East to achieve healing. The goal of Energy Psychology is to heal emotional problems in a new way. Ancient Indian and Chinese healers understood that there are subtle energies in our bodies before findings in the field of Quantum Physics helped us understand the nature of energy and matter. We now know that information carried by these subtle energies can travel faster than the speed of light and that focusing thought energy can have an effect on matter.

Dr. Fred Gallo, prominent energy psychologist, writes: "If thought and psychological problems exist in energy field form, then psychological problems can be resolved much more easily than one might assume. Based on the new paradigms, it would then be merely a matter of altering the energy field." Stimulating points along meridian channels, energy centers (chakras), or the biofield seems to remove energy disturbances allowing our body/mind system to process the troubling problem. As the energy is brought into balance, worrisome thoughts and memories about upsetting circumstances change and negative emotions diminish.

Energy Psychology methods such as Meridian Therapy, Thought Field Therapy (TFT), and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT),work more quickly than most talk therapies of the past. People of all ages can benefit, from infants to the aged. Many techniques are being created to alleviate stress, addictions, compulsions, anxiety, fears, traumatic memories, panic attacks, negative emotions, performance anxiety, pain, allergies, and more.

These mind/body techniques can be integrated with other healing methods such as Acupuncture, Hypnotherapy, Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Gestalt therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Healing From the Body Level Up, Dream Therapy, Therapeutic Touch, Past Life Therapy, and Talk therapy.

Energy Psychology practitioners now exist around the world. The Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (http://www.energypsych.org) holds yearly conferences for those interested in learning about this exciting field.
