From Anatomy of the Spirit Caroline Myss, Ph.D. Energy medicine is a holistic philosophy that teaches, “I am responsible for the creation of my health. I therefore participated, at some level, in the creation of this illness. I can participate in the healing of this illness by healing myself, which means simultaneously, my emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual being. You need to become conscious of what gives you power. Healing from any illness is facilitated by identifying your power symbols and your symbolic and physical relationoship to those symbols and heeding any messages your body and intuitions are sending you about them.
