healing with light

IGHT HAS always been used
as a multifaceted metaphor for
the spiritual aspects of our exis-
tence. And did you know that
many ancient cultures used
light and color for healing including the
Egyptians, Indians, Chinese, Taoists, and
Greeks?
Healing with light has been brought
into the new age by Esogetic Colorpunc-
ture which combines the current insights of
light and quantum physics with the ancient
knowledge of meridian points emphasized
in acupuncture. It uses light and the bio-
physics of cellular communication.
CElls COMMuNICATE VIA lIGHT
Dr. Fritz Albert Popp, a renowned
biophysicist and the father of modern bio-
photon theory, has documented evidence
from years of experiments to show that
living cells pass on biological information
through photons (light). Each color of the
spectrum has a different vibration and
wavelength that passes on different infor-
mation which has specific effects on all our
life functions.
HOW DOEs EsOGETIC COlOrPuNCTurE WOrk?
By focusing frequencies of colored
light, brainwaves, and crystals on acupunc-
ture and other points/zones on the skin,
Esogetic Colorpuncture energizes power-
ful healing impulses in our physical and
energy bodies. Particular therapies help
balance the nervous system, detoxify the
body, relieve pain, release trauma, tonify,
and strengthen specific organs and much
more. The non-invasive techniques clear
blockages and restore healthy energy flow
in the meridians.
Clients find Esogetic Colorpuncture
to be gentle and relaxing. Many report
not only changes in their bodies, but an
improved emotional outlook and a clearer
sense of direction in their lives.
WHAT HAPPENs DurING A sEssION?
Based on various assessment tests
including Energy Emission Analysis
Photography and the client’s intake
information, an individualized treatment
plan is designed. Gentle pressure and col-
ored light, brainwaves and/or crystals will
be applied to various points/zones on the
client’s skin. Light is applied using a hand-
held light tool with interchangeable glass
rods which emit different colors of light
through a focused crystal tip. As the light
is absorbed by the skin and transmitted,
information is communicated to the body’s
meridians, cells and organs.
ENErGY EMIssION ANAlYsIs PHOTOGrAPHY
Peter Mandel, a doctor of naturo-
path in Germany, developed both Esogetic
Colorpuncture and this profound system
of energetic evaluation based on cataloging
over two million energy emission analysis
photos of clients in his clinic over 30 years
of research. Using a high frequency appara-
tus to photograph the energy or light emit-
ting from a person’s fingers and toes, pro-
vides precise information about the “causal
chain of events” that has led to the client’s
energetic imbalance and symptoms. The
photos can even show the pre-symptom-
atic stages of an energy imbalance and can
then point the way to preventative therapy.
Photos are taken before and after
therapy and give feedback on how effective
the therapies chosen have been in restor-
ing the energetic balance in support of the
healing process.
HEAlING TrAuMA
Many Esogetic Colorpuncture thera-
pies have also been developed that can
powerfully clear trauma at the emotional,
mental, and spiritual levels, for example
therapies for pre-natal trauma, father/
mother imprints, and conflict resolution.
These therapies can cause the gentle release
of emotional and psychic unconscious

RYSTALS AND stones
have been used through-
out human history for
ornament, jewelry, and
science. In the New Testa-
ment, it’s stated that Jerusalem was built
upon jasper, gold, and adorned with pre-
cious stones. Egyptian pharaohs used lapis
and malachite on their headpieces as a sign
of stature and wealth.
Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine
healing systems have used gemstones for
thousands of years and Mayan priests use
crystals to diagnose illness. In current
times we use them in addition to energy
healing and other alternative health prac-
tices, or as a stand alone practice of crystal
healing.
CrYsTAl kINGDOM suPPOrTs sHIFTs OF ENErGY
As the earth goes through immense
shifts these days, we do as well. Physical,
emotional, spiritual, and mental changes
are happening daily, and if we are more
conscious of the shifts, it is easier to deal
with them. The crystal kingdom is really
stepping up to help us through these
changes, offering their guidance and sup-
port, bringing us new crystals and new
ways to work with them. The earth has
amazing gifts throughout nature. If we can
tap into what’s already naturally available,
it just boosts our energy all the more.
Crystals are energy tools that are
alive, vibrant beings, no different than
anything else in nature. They all have their
own personalities and energies, just as each
person or tree or mountain range—majes-
tic, soft, energizing, peaceful, accepting,
sharp. They alone will not “heal” us, as
nothing external can, we can only do it
ourselves. The crystal kingdom offers a
reminder to our energetic bodies of their
specific personalities so that we may learn
to embody these same qualities within our-
selves. The more we work with a specific
crystal, the more our bodies keep this new
state of balance and wholeness. Think of
crystals and stones as a reflection of what
is already within us. Just as other people
come into our lives for a reason and are
mirrors back to us, crystals offer the same
reflection.

just as you would a new healing practitio-
ner; invite it to work with you. Create a
space for it in your home, place it on your
nightstand to connect with you as you
sleep, carry it in your pocket, and sit with
it in meditation. Anything you intuitively
feel works for you, use it, as there is no
right or wrong way.
Feeling overwhelmed by changes in
jobs, relationships, living arrangements?
Grab a soothing Blue Lace Agate or Man-
gano Calcite to calm your nerves. Both
act as a comforting embrace. If you want
to create a new business, ask Carnelian or
Garnet to work with the creation and pas-
sion, enlivening life force and energy. Rose
Quartz, a stone I personally believe every-
one on the planet should have, can open
your heart to new possibilities in all ways,
including new relationships, learning to
love yourself with acceptance and peace,
and seeing the beauty in all things. The
natural formations of Shiva Lingams from
India invite us to balance our feminine
and masculine aspects and be more peace-
ful with the world. As the world around
us experiences natural disasters, govern-
mental upheaval, dire poverty, and unkind
acts, Shiva Lingams feel supportive of find-
ing our own inner strength to get through

life with a little more balance.
Do you have physical restrictions and
pain? Amethyst’s gifts can help us clear
physical and emotional toxins from our
body (since all physical ailments begin in
our emotions), bringing us to a deeper state
of relaxation and calm.
Crystals will work individually with
you; not every quality you read about in
a book (or above) is exactly how they will
present themselves to you. Allow yourself
to feel intuitively what they might offer
your life. Their gifts and uses are unlimited
and a true gift from nature.

Light: The Pathway to health and healing
HEAlING WITH lIGHT AND COlOr
THE USE of color, light, and
crystals in healing is not a
new idea. Ancient Egyp-
tians, Greeks, Babylonians
(probably even the ancient
Sumerians) and other ancient civilizations
had great temples dedicated specifically for
this type of healing. Almost every major
religion and spiritual practice today talks
about the light within, the light above,
being connected to the light, and instills
that the path to true health and life is via
light.
Today this form of healing has been
revitalized due to our ability to control and
reproduce specifically the direction, inten-
sity, and frequency (color) of the light, and
then combine that with it being more por-
table than ever before. Over the last 40+
years, there have also been new scientific
breakthroughs and understanding via bio-
physics and through the work of Prof. Dr.
Fritz-Albert Popp and others. We are seeing
through modern sciences that the body’s
primary form of communication may be
with light (biophotons), and are seeing that
cells are storing, transmitting, understand-
ing, and responding to light! This does not
come as a surprise in the holistic health
fields or deep spiritual communities as
we have been taught, everything is vibra-
tion/frequency = information, and hence
vibration/frequency is within light, sound,
color, and well, everything!
COlOr lIGHT THErAPY: EsOGETICs COlOrPuNCTurE
One of the most well rounded ver-
sions of color light therapy today, in my
belief, is Esogetics (Colorpuncture), devel-
oped by Peter Mandel over 40 years ago.
It compounds upon the early works of
Augustus Pleasanton and Edwin Babbitt
and combines it with many of the natu-
ropathic and hermetic philosophies and
principles found around the globe as well
as modern scientific advancements. The
name Esogetics comes from a combination
of the two words: Esoteric and Energetic.
Esoteric means old world knowledge and
energetic means the new, scientific knowl-
edge of our age and in Esogetics, you can
find traces of over 200 different holistic
healing modalities.
EsOGETICs: lIGHT THErAPIEs AND CrYsTAl THErAPIEs
Within Esogetics there are two pri-
mary paths of healing therapies: Esogetics
Light Therapies (Colorpuncture, Trans-
mitter Relays, I Ging, Ophthalmotropic
Genetic Therapy-OGT, Infrared Pain
Therapies, and others) and Esogetics Crys-
tal Therapies (Tree of Life, Bardo, Karma,
Crystal Vision, Dream & Love Disc thera-
pies, and many more).
With the light therapies, we uti-
lize specific colors (frequency) of light on
precise points of the body (acupuncture/
pressure points, reflexology zones and
other energetically sensitive points) and
the contained microsystems (skull somato-
topy, auricular, Putkammer segments,
facial physiognomy and others) to help
balance the yin/yang energy flows as well
as to provide new, correcting information
that causes a cascading reaction within the
mind, body, and soul which then allows
for the core conflict to resolve. In the light
therapies, we have a total of 16 different
colors (Infrared, red, orange, yellow, green,
dark turquoise, blue, violet, ultraviolet,
crimson, light green, light turquoise, rose,
as well as three grey colors) that we utilize
in literally thousands of specified therapy
protocols.
In the crystal therapies, we use a
combination of specifically cut and col-
ored Swarovski crystals inlaid with sacred
geometry. We have seen through the crys-
tal therapies, with the help of Popp that
these crystals interact with the biopho-
tonic communication of the being and are

believed to create a reorganization of the
information contained within, allowing
for clearer, more pure communication.
This then allows for a profound
transformation on all levels of the
being. Currently, we have several
different specific crystals. These
are the polarity crystals (Sun/
Gold and Moon/Silver), the
elemental soul crystals (Earth,
Air, Fire, Water or Light
Green, Light Turquoise, Crim-
son and Rose respectively), the
Crystal Activator, the newly
developed grey crystals as well
as the Love/Energy and Dream/
Information disks (the Body/Matter
disk is still being developed and tested).
We see more and more everyday
through mainstream media, news and sci-
entists that light does have the potential to
heal.
The University of
Wisconsin-Madison has used infra-
red light to help cancer patients,
the use of red LED lights for
anti-aging, or infants with
jaundice, or the infrared
pain study on chronic pain
at the Evaluation Hospital
in Herne, Germany. In all,
Esogetics has come a very
long way in combining the
knowledge and wisdom of
the ages and working on cre-
ating reproducible and sustain-
able results in our scientific age.

Pranic Healing uses crystals as energy conductors
W
HEAlING WITH lIGHT AND COlOr
HEN I first
came into the
world of Pranic
Healing, using
crystals was
not my forte. As a child, I was always
intrigued by crystals but using them
for healing seemed foreign and a bit
unpractical. This was largely due to my
lack of experience, as well as a misun-
derstanding on how they work. Master
Choa Kok Sui describes crystals as subtle
energy condensers that we use for heal-
ing because they can absorb, store, and
project pranic energy. This is the entire
basis behind Pranic Crystal Healing, the
fourth level of healing in our lineage.
According to our teacher, we
have three main sources of energy.
The sun, the air, and the earth are the
main sources of chi or prana that we
gather from our surroundings. Crystals
contain condensed earth prana that
can be easily absorbed and digested by
our energy body. Most people, espe-
cially when they are sick, vibrate at a
level that is closer to the earth than
the more refined energies such as solar
prana or divine energy. This makes the
use of crystals when doing energy work
highly effective.
lAsEr CrYsTAls FOr PrANIC HEAlING
The first time I saw a crystal used
in Pranic Healing, I began to look at
them in a whole new light. For start, I
had never seen a crystal that was carved
and polished to be used as a tool to proj-
ect energy. In my previous encounters
with stones and crystals, they were typ-
ically raw, natural rock but never had
I seen one carved with such precision
and detail. A laser crystal, as referred
to by Pranic Healers, is eighteen sided,
completely clear with little or no inclu-
sions, sharply pointed at one end and
concave at the other, sometimes with a
gold rod at the end to further condense
energy—truly a thing of beauty.
The shape, size, and color of the
crystals is a science and how they are
used is the art. As amazed as I was at
the appearance of a laser crystal, I was
dually amazed at the way a practitioner
utilized the healing tool. The instru-
ment can be used like a chisel to vig-
orously chop up stagnant, congested
energy or gently paint a person’s aura
with soothing, healing energy. It is
beneficial when cutting cords, draw-
ing out negative or unwanted energy,
and protecting one’s environment from
outside energy contaminants.
CrYsTAl COlOr DETErMINEs EFFECT ON bODY
The color of a crystal determines
the effect it will have on the energy
body because the stone emanates
energy based on its hue. If you need
help decongesting the lungs with green
prana, then lay a green stone between
your shoulder blades. The green aura
from the crystal will be partially
absorbed into your body to be used for
healing.
Crystals also have the innate abil-
ity to absorb all energy from the sur-
roundings, good or bad. Therefore,
cleaning your crystals, stones, and
gems after purchasing and in between
each healing is extremely important to
ensure proper transference of energy.
You can do this by leaving it in salt-
water overnight, placing it in front of a
speaker while playing the mantra OM,
or even by laying them next to incense
while it is burning. This can also be
done with jewelry. These simple tech-
niques minimize the chances of con-
taminating yourself and your future
clients from unwanted energy.

Spiritually, crystals are the

kingdom. They have the ability to be
programmed due to their subtle level
of consciousness. It is always advisable
to invoke for the help, guidance, and
protection from God and all of your
spiritual teachers before programming
any of your stones for healing. Not only
will this make your consecration safer,
but exponentially more powerful as
well.
Using crystals and other stones
for absorbing excess amounts of energy
and transferring them to your clients is
a wonderful way to increase your heal-
ing potential. Without draining the
physical body or contaminating the
practitioner and reducing the amount
of time needed to see lasting results,
crystals are an amazing tool for any
healer to introduce into their prac-
tice. For more information, visit www.

OU ARE God. You are
the Universe. You are
the light of life, love, and
goodness. How and why is
that so?
You have learned at our religious insti-
tutions that “you are created in the image
of God,” so are you not then God? God
is light, love, and all goodness. Therefore
you must be light, love, and all goodness.
One of the Eastern philosophies, Taoism,
teaches that each organ and indeed each
cell is a microcosm within a macrocosm;
each cell contains all properties that exist
in the entire universe. So are you not then
the universe?
lIFE ENErGY Is lIGHT
Life energy is light. Jesus was the
light in healing; many images showed the
aura and rays of light beaming on and
from him. Biofeedback and Kirlian pho-
tography of qigong masters, clients, and
students in a “healing state” have depicted
light energy emissions from parts or all of
the body, such as light beaming from the
hands. Chow Qigong teaches students to
work with this light energy.
Because we were designed by the
creator, we are more perfect than any-
thing that man could produce. However,
since the beginning of modern science, we
have continually weakened this marvelous
perfect human instrument and become
dependent upon man-made instruments
to validate or prove that what we see, feel,
or experience is valid, not trusting the fact
that indeed what we see, feel, or experience
is the truth.
MErIDIAN sYsTEM—QI ENErGY HIGHWAY
The meridian system, from Tradi-
tional Chinese Medicine, is a qi-energy
highway upon which certain numbers of
energy points exist. A balanced and open
state of this qi highway gives health. An
imbalanced, slowed-down or completely
blocked state can cause harm to the body,
mind, and spirit. The whole system of
Chinese medicine—qigong, acupuncture,
moxa, cupping, acupressure, etc., and
other systems of natural medicine, is based
on the energy body; everything is energy.

San Francisco to Neustrelitz,
Germany. At the eighth world
qigong conference in San Fran-
cisco, a 60-year-old man who
had had a stroke and was rel-
egated to a life-long painful exis-
tence in a wheelchair was able,
with 15 minutes, to stand, walk,
and dance! Within two minutes
severely painful “frozen shoul-
ders” can be healed, and fibro-
myalgia pains of 25-years-stand-
ing can be relieved. The marvels
are endless.
You are the most power-
ful light-life generator, hav-
ing evolved directly from God,
Buddha, the Divine or the
Source—whatever your frame of
reference is for the mastermind
of existence. According to Chi-
nese medicine, your mind/heart
(not your brain) is the control-
ler of your reality and your well
being. Science has taught us
that kinetic energy can never be
destroyed, and if everything is
kinetic energy, then there is no
death—simply a transition from
one life form to another. We are
immortals in soul, mind, and
spirit, having come from many
lifetimes and moving to many
future lifetimes.
At the Chow Medical
Qigong Conference being held
at the Minneapolis Marriott
Southwest from Nov. 4-6 (see
www.qigongconnection.com for
more information and to regis-
ter), we shall expound on, dem-
onstrate, and actually experience

intense discussions (even debates!)
with the positive intention to
challenge you to think “outside
the box” and become aware of
