Hello



I'm a Christian mother, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who was prompted by the Holy Spirit to find answers in Energy Medicine to help my daughter with a bipolar illness. She made amazing turnarounds at appointments of Rapid Eye Technology. I believe that applying the same health principles we learned can help anyone with health challenges. In the beginning I had absolutely no understanding of this field and was wary of using it.  Its methods involved concepts I had never heard of or even imagined before. I wanted to be careful and use wisdom in deciphering whether each new principle I learned fit with Christian beliefs.

I spent a few years reading every book I could about 'energy work'- a more common term for a broad spectrum of energy healing methods.  I was surprised to find premises in energy work that were vaguely familiar. I learned that a plethora of cultures outside of mine believed in an invisible life-giving energy that filled the universe. This subtle energy was known by various foreign names such as "Chi" or "Prana." In English it was described as life force energy.

After a couple of years of voracious reading, I heard a distinct impression from spirit to focus my reading on  sources from prophets and religious leaders.  Imagine my surprise to learn from John A. Widtsoe that the light of Christ was the universal life-giving energy that other teachers called life force. That's when my research really became interesting! I wanted to learn everything I could about the light of Christ. I discovered that Latter-day Saints use many different terms for this subtle essence.  I also learned that prophets and apostles have commented on principles underlying Energy Medicine. LDS religious leaders wrote more about universal subtle essences and healing than I ever expected and sometimes with surprisingly detailed comments. I was overwhelmingly relieved to learn from Apostle Parley P. Pratt about this subtle invisible essence and how it could be shared with others in his book, Key to the Science of Theology.

The health principles in energy work that enabled my daughter to  make huge turnarounds, and similar or equivalent LDS quotes for those principles, were on a DVD I produced in 2010 titled, "Scientists, Scholars and Spiritual Leaders Introduce Energy Work- A Gift From God." It sold out and is no longer available. The DVD answered questions such as: Are LDS beliefs compatible with Energy Work? What do prophets teach about healing? Are chakras in the Bible? Does an invisible energy heal? What about crystals and long distance healing?  All of this and more is answered in my new book.  In fact, the book contains nearly 300 slides not found in the DVD.  The book includes everything the DVD had and much more.

I came to the conclusion that premises underlying the energy work I was led to fit with the gospel of Christ while there were other methods that did not  follow scriptural  principles.  I desire to share information related to appropriate integrative healing methods, and scriptures and religious quotes that teach a person how to discern the difference. Answers to our health questions and concerns really are in the scriptures! This site does not claim, however, to represent the doctrinal beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Perhaps it is time to educate - not just medicate. We need an education on whole person health, for we are more than just the physical bodies the medical field focuses on.  Traditional medicine still practices from the viewpoint of "Person = Body." Conventional medicine has no concept of altering energy flows. Understanding that the previous equation is incomplete, one would be wise to enlist the help of a health practitioner who understands that "Person = Body + Mind + Spirit."  I want a health practitioner addressing my entire being, not just a portion of myself.  We need more medical doctors in the western world who practice from the entire paradigm.

Mehmet Oz, M.D. said "Energy Medicine is the next big frontier in medicine."  Why is that? Dawson Church,PhD gives a great answer: "Techniques from energy medicine and Energy Psychology can alleviate chronic diseases, shift auto-immune conditions, and eliminate psychological traumas with an efficiency and speed that conventional treatments can scarcely touch." (The Genie in Your Genes- Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention, 29.)  That is because our energy body is the grid work underlying the physical nature of us.

Bruce Lipton, a renowned cell biologist and former medical school professor, offers an educational analogy: "Conventional medicine works with the iron filings, whereas a deeper form of healing would attempt to influence the magnetic field. Most doctors don't see the field, so they're trying to figure out the relationship between the filings without even trying to incorporate the energy field in which they exist." (quoted in The Genie in Your Genes, 152.) In simple terms, human beings are more than just the physical bodies that medical doctors consider. We are also complex systems of energy fields. When our energy fields are cleared and balanced it makes an impact on our physical level, also.

The field of Energy Medicine takes into account the whole person's being: physical body as well as mind and spirit. This includes the invisible subtle light energy that surrounds people, known to scientists as the biofield.  Fields of energy penetrate and surround our bodies. Scriptures teach this, such as  "Let us put on the armour of light."(Romans 13:12) Everyone has generally unseen energy fields around their physical body. Progressive doctors and hospitals are embracing this view.* Shouldn't you? (*See cover story U.S. News &World Report, Jan. 21, 2008.)

Understanding this new perspective enables whole person health. Caroline Myss writes, "According to energy medicine, the human spirit is a manifestation of energy. . . . The intention behind using Energy Medicine is to treat the body and the spirit equally." (Why People Don't Heal and How They Can, x,xi)"  John A. Widtsoe states that another way, "Joseph Smith taught also that spirit is only a pure form of matter. . . .'The spirit and the body are the soul of man.' (D&C 88:15) The spirit here referred to may be compared to the ether of science, vibrating with the force of intelligence, which is the first and highest of the many forces of nature... Man, according to this is composed of matter; the spirit which may be likened to ether, and energy." ( John A.Widtsoe, Joseph Smith as Scientist, 34, 63-64)


New York Times best-selling author Gregg Braden calls such spiritually-based techniques that I mention "internal technology" that a person can apply on their own to improve health. Larry Dossey, MD calls some of these techniques "Eternity Medicine." (see Reinventing Medicine, chapter 6) I love the term he chose.

Of course, one should use caution when exploring cutting-edge methods of healing. On the other hand, we also need to realize that false traditions of our fathers may have been passed down to us concerning health. World renowned scientists are teaching that we are NOT limited by the laws of physics and biology as taught to generations before. Physics has changed to an energetic view of all creation. Will you? I did and it has made all the difference!

To your health~ Tamara

Tamara,
I LOVE the insights you give me of little words in the scriptures that make such a difference. The spirit is "in" the wheel! Thanks for that!

Peggy Jo Lewis said...

Tamara, I have been praying for greater light and knowledge that I might use as missionary tools in my work as a life coach. Your blog is an answer to my prayers. I am inspired to do more extensive research into the background of the prophets in the early years of the church. They spoke the truth without fear...

Also, do you know where I can find anything written by Joseph Smith or any of the early prophets on the topic of auras? Thanks much!

I ran across a quote you may be interested in. It is in the Book of Mormon for Latter Day Saint Families. Pg. 105,13:9 quote by David O. Mckay at the bottom half of the page. When I heard it, you kept coming to mind, so I am sending it to you.

"Every person who lives in this world wields an influence, whether for good or for evil. It is not what he says alone; it is not alone what he does. It is what he is. ... Every person radiates what he or she really is. ... It is what we are and what we RADIATE that affects the people around us" (Man may know for Himself, 108)

Can't wait to read your new book when it comes out!

Love your thoughts! I have been on a similar quest for LDS insights into energy work, etc. Just wondering if your book is finished, and will it be available at the Holistic Living Conference in June? Thanks!

Tamara said...

The slides comparing quotes are finished (nearly 500!) However, the introduction and foreword are not quite complete. Yes, the plan is to have the book for sale at the conference since I have a booth reserved. See you there!

Tamara said...

I have a few very similar quotes by David O. McKay. However, I was not aware of this source or even the book it references at the end. Thank you for sharing with me!

Loretta Smith said...

Tamara,
Thank you for all your research! I'm so excited to get your book! Bless you for your endeavors in helping bring energy medicine out of the shadows! I am in the midst of a confrontation and could truly use your book!

I love your new book. Thank you for all of the reasearch and work you have put into it. I have already been able to use it to show someone else how energy work fits in with LDS beliefs. Thank you!

Loretta Smith said...

Thank you so much for your labor of love!!!! In the Acknowledgments, you expressed gratitude for the facilitators of healing arts who have been misunderstood... that touched me because you were speaking to me! Thank you for the encouragement to carry on!!!! (Although you don't know me and I have not contributed to your book, I still have received courage in your words!)

I'm very happily married with 5 great kids and 7 grandchildren. I am fascinated by the science behind subtle energy therapies because they made such a HUGE difference for my family. I am passionate about researching how the field of energy medicine fits with the gospel of Christ. I find great joy in being an Energy facilitator myself, helping people make peace with their past, releasing unresolved emotions and bringing light to dark places. I work in the healing arts and know that Jesus Christ is the source of all healing.
